I was trying out different teams in Phoenix pvp and I eventually settled on Ultron and BB as her partners. Ultron was surprisingly useful, Bec his passive in buffing strike tiles can slowly accumulate and eventually become super big strike tiles. My Ultron at level 569 is generating a 2519 strike tile every turn (if one is already on the board). For most of my games, my strike tiles were 10k, bec the games were long. I think the fact that Phoenix is a red generator also helps, bec Ultron is relatively cheap. I often will use Phoenix red first because it hits harder, but switched to Ultron red for subsequent hits (no generation of black attack tiles for enemies).BB actually just sits there mainly doing his passive damage, which double dip on the strike tiles. While this team may not be great on defence, it’s actually a serviceable team on offence, at least for this week boost list.

While this team may not be great on defence, it’s actually a serviceable team on offence, at least for this week boost list. My team was similar. Phoenix/Ultron/Archangel. Did the same as you. Fire Jean red if there were less than 5 specials, fire Ultron red if more. Stun on two colors was clutch. When I got down to one character, those strikes can get really high while the opponent is incapacitated. Hit 1200 and out in one run. I switched Jean’s build to 5 green and never once used a healthpack on her. She’s pretty great boosted. I’m pretty sure Ultron will see the bench for the rest of his boost week since he’s lacking special tile creators and won’t have the Jean battery to fuel him along. But he was great for this PVP.

Thor would have been out for a good while I think, since he came out to support Ragnarok and she was released for her film. I’d have to check the dates. But also yes, she was in the dust bin at launch until Polaris came out, and then her nerf showed up maybe a month and a half after that.
HoundofShadow said: I used Ultron with BRB for the past 2 pvps and despite the negativity against him, I rarely got hit while climbing to 1200. I got hit twice after I shielded and got hit once before I shielded in total. On top of that, he helped me to reduce damage greatly while climbing. I thought I was going to get hit hard by Archangel and he ended up dealing 1 damage. Phew!
