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. Theres absolutely no way you can tell hes bad at 3 covers sorry.As with all new 5 stars hes a monster boosted and he doesnt just have one good power he has two.

I stick with everything I wrote. He’s got one good power and he’s not a monster boosted with anyone but Hawkeye. I hit at least 7 Garg/HEs in pvp when Garg was boosted. Never ate blue once. He’s total meh
dianetics said:I’m having some issues with him even when he is boosted. He is quite slow and his nuke needs a lot of ap that leaves his partners open for attack.He has such a huge health pool he should be willing to take hits. As a last stand opponent he can be troublesome.
IrisRyu said: Jane deserves a Top 10 placement just for shaking up (terrible pun, intended) the defensive meta. This Simulator Season has been the most diverse in terms of team compositions that I’ve personally seen and I think we can thank Jane for that. She’s great strictly as a support or the primary damage dealer, but she can be slow to start up and that lag time (plus the double-edged sword of charged tile creation) makes her pretty easy to beat. Still, I could see her taking Half-Thor’s spot at no. 5 given that she’s better at what he does + plus she’s tank-ish.Chasm deserves rank No. 1++++++. The match damage and stun are fun, but he really shines in being a meat shield to provide cover for the other two characters that you actually care about. With Chasm’s cover, I’ve been able to explore team synergies that I never would’ve approached before his arrival. It’s still early days and I could be wildly wrong, but I don’t think players have even begun to scratch the surface of Chasm’s potential. He’s the ultimate team player!

He is still the most reliable in terms of AP generation.

@Sekilicious said: Where would you guys put Chasm and Dr.Thor? Jane looks like a lot of fun if you like board shake and charged tiles.
Since I have both champed now I figured I’d add my opinion. Chasm and Jane are both top-5 characters in both PvE and PvP. I would put Chasm ahead of Apocalypse and maybe Jane just behind. I think SC is an excellent choice at #1 and Okoye #2 because if you have either you can handle pretty much any node in PvE or PvP (if willing to shield or chasing 50 wins). Maybe my opinion would change if I had a functional Wanda. Chasm and iHulk are meta to the point that boosted characters often don’t matter in PvP, or less important anyways. Some complain about Chasm draining ap but I don’t find him much different to play than Kitty and Grocket, especially against goons. After all, you don’t really want to fire either Kitty’s yellow or Grocket’s green when boosting tiles. Chasm + Gritty is now my go to for most Mindless One nodes. My favourite team in the simulator is Chasm, Jane, and Silk because of the massive board shake every turn. It helps they can beat any team outside the Chasm/iHulk meta. As an aside, I would place Kamala in the top ten. My fastest PvE team right now is Apocalypse, Kamala Khan, and Polaris with Atlantis, Sanctum Santorum, and Korg.
What does everyone think about iShulk, Emma, and Arcade? I am kind of partial to Emma’s potential. I can think of a place for both iShulk and Arcade (not in the bin if that’s what you’re wondering).
The one thing that I have noticed about Jane Thor is how easily she replaces 1/2 Thor for me now. I used to end up using 1/2 Thor more than any other 5* and he is on a he bench now. I don’t play very competitively so I usually use some of the boosted characters in both PvE and PvP.
I haven’t used Chasm much because I don’t like his gameplay much.

Only problem with Jane is she'll break apocalypse, or any character using special tiles. For that reason alone, gladiator Thor still has his uses
