    This isn't a "fun" team per se, but I've finally settled on my go-to group for taking out that sword-wielding Kaecilius, Blob, Polaris, and Sabretooth. Blob removes the strike tiles that have fallen to the bottom, makes protect tiles when Mr. K double-dips the matches, and slowly becomes the one on the team making the matches. Polaris increases the number of protect tiles and creates enemy strike tiles with her blue. Sabretooth occasionally increases the number of protect tiles when an enemy strike tile is matched and creates enemy strike tiles with his black. As Blob starts tanking, he's also healing back up to full.

    I just use Shang on Kaecilius since he can take the hits and manipulate the board to match his strikes

    I've been using Colossus/Polaris/Sabretooth. colossus mitgates the damage and all three characters can produce enemy strikes actively. I would consider replacing Sabretooth with Elektr4 so you can then produce enemy strikes on 3 colors even.

    The problem with using Polaris for this is that there's always the risk of filling the board with your own strikes before you manage to remove enough of his to down him and then it becomes impossible to win.

    That’s not a real danger in my experience.

    That’s happened to me so I no longer use Polaris

    I use 5* Thor, 5* Colossus and 3* Patch.  Drain the board of green/yellow/red as many as possible, so that more black and purple are on the board. Fire Patch's green and he creates 6 purple enemy strike tiles. Colossus will also create enemy strike tiles on the board. With enough shaking, you should be able to match those purple enemy strike tiles. 

    But nothing beats Patch and Hellcat with the right supports where you fire Patch's green followed by Hellcat's purple at the start of the game. I think matching 6 strike tiles is what you need to down him.

    Match team-up tiles to leave basic tiles for Kaecilius to put his strike tile on.

    I use Snaggletooth, Polaris and Okoye. I don’t fire PoPo until one or two matches needed to KO. Creed does most of the work . Oko to destroy a row when needed to make an enemy strike match.

    I use collossus/3* loki/3* hawkeye - colossus protects from damage, and create enemy strikes, hawkeye produces purple on matching those strikes, loki steals AP on Casillius match 4*, and have a cheap boardshake on purple when strikes are not in preferable places. Seem week, but always works.

    I mean this is no new news to anyone but of course I just champed Big Wheel so it is BW/5Thor/SC.  Just really, really amazing team with so much. You can see my post on Big Wheel's character page on how I play them but for those on the fence for BW consider this: 

    1.) 5Thor - AP gathering (red/green are the important ones)
    2.) 5Thor - board shake (helps add charges to both SC and BW)
    3.) SC - his powers are amazing damage with just a few charges
    4.) SC - tanks with a few charges and then has true healings
    5.) SC - his powers also add charges to BW
    6.) BW - does great passive damage every few rounds from all of the charges
    7.) BW - his board flips shake the board
    8.) BW- his green is a good cheap quick damage (for all that 5Thor green gathering) and a precious board flip that can keep SC charges going on bad boards and his green flip can also cause cascades which fuel his own charges

    Thanx for your input!

    I also like your current roster, congrats. I will still need to invest more free time at Athens house here to achieve the same results.

    This one's not going to be to everyone's tastes because it's slow, yet it is somehow satisfying. 

    Abigail Brand + Blob + Ghostpool

    I'm sure the Abigail Brand plus Blob combo is fairly obvious (Abigail loves countdowns). I picked Ghostpool as a third primarily because I still have a compulsion to have one active power for each colour, but also because of his black. Of course, to make the most of it you have to sustain damage, but Brand will heal that back (so long as it wasn't too much) with all the countdowns and repeaters and then Ghostpool retaliates. Very nice versus Polaris teams.

    This Shang-Chi PVP is a fun place for teams that may not work elsewhere. I started off using Rogue/SC/Killmonger on the premise that rogue can deny and accelerate red, while eating any damage from a basic red match, and then Killmonger would punish any critical production while adding a second active friendly crit creation power. It works really well, but my Rogue is 370 so your mileage will surely vary. Also bring +2 to yellow/red, black/green, and +5 crit damage boost for maximum hilarity.

    Recently champed Winter Soldier. So today I went around in Sim with:
    3/5/5 Winter Soldier, 5/5/3 Coulson, 3/5/5 4* Wasp.
    Bucky actually packs quite a punch, he just needs a lot of support from team mates (he needs precise board control AND a battery). I knew he loved Coulson for his purple, but today I realised that Coulson+Wasp together can battery Bucky via countdowns going off, too!
    Once Wasp gets going buzzing all over the place, Bucky actually becomes a solid, reliable damage dealer-- not only can you always guarantee that you get 14k dmg from his red every time thanks to Coulson, it actually becomes feasable to pull this off multiple times due to all the AP coming in. Coulson in turn gets 2 high damage partners, and Wasp is the glue that keeps it all together, providing a high damage black, stuns and AP.

    I really like the concept of Bucky too but I can only really play him now when he is boosted or in Balance of Power; I wish his sniper rifle did more damage to go along with the AP steal. I keep mine at 5/5/3

    Yeahhh, the damage on his sniper rifle is super bad. I suspect even if they buffed the damage, the damage output would still be very mediocre and it wouldn't really change anything in terms of adding something useful on top of the AP steal. Bucky's already got 2 powers with decent damage in blue and red anyway, so I'd go the opposite:
    I actually wish his purple wouldn't do any damage at all and instead have a 2-3 turn stun attached. Basically, making it a damage-less steal version of Strange's blue in an off-color.

    I really thought we'd be seeing some kind of bucky related content for the Flaptain & Winter Soldier show. I think the character is pretty cool and would have welcomed a 5* of either one.

    Very much enjoyed the BRB/Polaris combo with Quake as the 3rd while she was buffed. I often skipped Polaris stuns altogether and just used Quake's blue. Once you get a decent profusion of protect tiles from Polaris you can just start spamming it, destroying your protect tiles and generating blue and green for Quake's actives. You almost always get at least enough to reach winfinite pretty quickly and once you do Quake's board shuffle hits the whole team regularly which is a nice added bonus.

    Adam Warlock 5/5/3 or 5/3/5
    Crystal 3/4/11 (will soon be champed)

    I can champ Crystal at anytime but I’m gonna wait till I share her out and get the maximum levels. 

    So Crystal seems to be a really good support character. A little healing, a little bit of tile buffing, a bit of AP generation, a bit of permanent damage etc. but her healing is really heavy. So I decided to team her up with AW because he can deal a bunch of damage but his healing has to be activated while crystals is passive. She keeps his health high while he does lots of damage with his black. 

    So with these 2 I felt I needed an enhancer for AW and Crystal. So I’ve settled on……

    Rogue 5/3/5

    great vs ProfX and onslaught and goes well with AW to get more AP vs certain characters and have AW’s matches hit harder. She also neuters a lot of red/yellow/green match damage. 

    Okoye 5/5/3

    Pumps up AW’s AOE and Crystal’s cheap AOE along with her permanent damage dealers. 

    Wanda

    you can pretty much splash on any duo and she’ll be clutch. 

    I also tried Sersi with the idea that she would take away blue as that’s the only color I wouldn’t use. But when you take away blue, she puts shields on all the yellow….. which I need to be open for AW’s traps.

    I used Adam Warlock/Crystal/Valkyrie to gain yellow aps so that Warlock can heal himself every 2 turn or so. Add on the fact that 5 out of 6 coloured aps are usable, which will trigger Crystal's healing more frequently. I used Rogue before against Colossus/Wanda/Apocalypse and chose yellow. It didn't work very well against them because AW got countered badly by them. However, it works fine against other non-Wanda teams.
