dianetics said: Nice to see the updated rankings here. A few qualms, I think Gargantos is probably rated too high. His best partner is an old old 5* and I am not seeing him too often in PvP yet.I also think Jean could move up a few spots. It is probably still too early to rate Kamala but she will certainly be better than the middle of the pack.Still, great job I really like jumping in here and reading your impressions.

They kill anything quickly and efficiently, boosted or not, and she has tremendous defensive capability when you the player are in control of her. And if there is a more deadly trio than SC, Sersi, Onslaught I have no idea what it is. Even the Sinister, Medusa, Carnage node is quite manageable with them How are you running Sersi with him? I've tried her before and it took way too long for things to happen for me to keep doing it. I'm probably doing something wrong.Personally, I still find 50GladThor/SC to be the quickest pick 2 for me. Obviously horrific on defense but they get going fast.

atomzed said:I start with 2 purple ap boost and 1 all ap boost. When the game starts, I will user Sersi purple and select black. With black being deny from the board, the remaining colours are all useful to the trio (except for yellow).this trio has a lot of options for board manipulation. SC red and purple can be used to create match 5. Onslaught blue and Sersi green can also create additional colours for match 5. There has been many games which Sersi purple denial lead to big cascades on the first turn. It is an excellent team.
658_2 said: I’m going to pull tomorrow so my Garg is only 1/1/1, but I’ve messed with him enough to get a good feel for his powers and (while recognizing you’re adjusting his ranking already), I don’t think he’s a little too high at 10, he’s WAY too high. The limiters on all 3 of his powers are so heavy. Tentacle Thrash will only do damage once or twice a match, black’s problems are obvious (the damage component should work whether there are opposing specials or not), and the blue draining all blue leaves you out in the wilderness after the cast. He doesn’t play well with anyone but Hawkeye or AB, not even Okoye (because TT will almost always hit a color that has ap, so she has nothing to boost). And even with Hawkeye, it’s healthpack city because it’s so slow. I’ll hit that team all day long boosted. Get rid of Hawkeye quick and then Garg does…nothing?Looking at the list, who is he better than? He’s not better than Ronan. He’s not close to better than Crystal. He’s not clearly better than Havok (I think he’s probably worse). You’re in the 40s before you get to characters he’s definitely better than.
658_2 said: He might be. I think they’re both in the usable when boosted camp. Garg is a lot better with Hawkeye than Elektra is with anyone, but I don’t see that team as scary unless both are boosted. In a vacuum, his blue is a little better than her yellow, I think (her yellow is more exploitable), but her other two powers are better than his. I think Garg is in the Doom and Sinister camp of he can hit really really hard, especially when boosted, but more often he’ll do pretty much nothing.Ftr, I was curious how often TT actually does hit an empty pool, so I played the 5e 5 times. Strange was on the other team so I held off on using powers and hence these were long matches. Results were 2, 1, 1, 3, 2. Obviously not a big enough sample to say much of anything, but I’m guessing it’s going to be quite rare for it to hit enough to greatly impact a match. The destruction is barely noticeable also. If you’re boosting and playing with Hawkeye, maybe you can squeeze an extra hit or two with decent frequency.
