She can drain AP in 2 colors, make loads of attack tiles while removing enemy SAPs and do lots of passive team health bursts! She can even instantly resolve friendly CD & Repeater tiles too. You guys will love her. We can’t wait to see the team combos you all come up with. She can help you through really tough battles. Enjoy!Players: Abby is trash! Back to hoarding until the devs eventually release something good. Do they even play their own game? How can they release such bad characters?Devs: Fine! We’re never telling you again what a character is for, you’ll have to figure it out on your own. Saying she's trash is not the same as complaining about being told the intent of her design. Completely different issues. Which means you're "fictitious conversation" is irrelevant and only serves to depict the devs as petulant and irrational. It's like a child saying "if you don't like my drawing, you can't play with my toys".If you're down with the devs, though, could you ask them why they did this to the community voted character? The point I was trying to make is that if the devs told us what a character was designed for (meaning team makeups), we would still be very critical and judgmental, generally speaking bad about the new character. This would obviously offend the devs, because we just called their new baby ugly. I think that’s why they don’t talk to us; we’re overly critical of everything they do.

HoundofShadow said: Just when you thought his damage is bad, here comes a double whammy: he's not a feeder.
Bad said: It's a modern new 4* character. He has:- resurrection- spams protects- spams charged tiles- destroys a row line-destroys special tiles without generating enemy AP- AoE ignoring protect- airborne and passive damage to other enemy- healingSo what else did you wanted?More damage?
bbigler said: I try to be as level headed as possible when evaluating a new character. Comparing them to the rest of the tier is a good start. Only comparing to the top meta isn’t fair. But every character can do something unique and special. But that doesn’t mean every character is “good” or will improve your performance. Looking for the best combos with that new character can show you their true potential and use in the game. But it seems like too many people here skip that step and judge them unfairly. Of course, all of this discussion needs to be put to the test in the game. With that being said, I think BK is overly weak and it’s not easy finding a team where he can excel. His best potential lies in his yellow power which creates lots of protects and charged tiles, AND it can be triggered by other characters sending him airborne. Perhaps someone can find a way to exploit that? To be clear, I’m not defending BK and I wish the devs gave us a much better character given the hype.
Bad said: There are already many sinergies. Focusing on his protect spamming side: brb, polaris, Dbeast, lockjaw. Focusing on his destroying charged tiles passive: ronan and negasonic. Just make charged tiles, BK will destroy 4 charged tiles and negasonic will destroy 2 tiles per charged tile, huge cascade incoming.Change ronan for red hulk, for +-900 damage hulk will make cds destroying 6 tiles: take a seat and popcorns and watch the board cascading.Possible to swicht rhulk for hulk 3*, too.
