Your latest fun team combination

Been playing around with Deathlok and Arcade 3* looking for the best synthetic/technologist teams. M.O.D.O.K. with a 5/3/5 build is great. 3 blue and red every turn, plus more flowing in from Arcade traps, makes it really fast and easy to save up multiple casts of both M.O.D.O.K.'s blue and red powers, so you can drop the blues, each after the first lowering the cd of all before, and then repeatedly cast red, so you get the blue cd tiles going off on the same turn, and you hit the end of the red power chain near immediately. The last one is a super strong hit for 6 ap and ridiculously spammable with the AP generation in the team. Riri is also pretty great, spamming her blue and red is pretty insane. Shuri's not bad, everything is fortified all the time so you're dropping your casts at reduced cost in addition to generating tons of ap for them. A.C. has potential, generating even more ap and tossing out damage from his passives. Hulkbuster punches regularly and hard. 4* Doc Oc shines better than I've seen him do in any other team, and makes them into a strong anti-special tile team. Vulture can add even more AP flood and aoe damage. War Machine would be great if you could have more than one red tile at a time, might work better with A.C. swapped in for Arcade. Lotta solid options. Pretty fun to play as well.
Unsurprisingly though, the strongest use of Deathlok I found is to pair him with Shang-Chi. You can use Arcade there as well, though I prefer Riri, so you can use her blue to generate even more red. 2 red and purple each turn lets you reach winfinite really quickly, and even if you somehow have to end a turn it's even more unlikely you'll ever be in danger of losing your river of blows stacks. Incredibly fun team.

Deathlok, Vulture, and Riri. Deathlok generates 3 black and blue AP per turn which keeps Vulture permanently airborne while Riri has lots of AP to do use her abilities.

This thread was way to far down the list. It isn’t a new team (new to me though) but Chasm, mThor, MEHulk is great if you love chaos and hate planning 1 move in advance. Have a Match-5 planned? LOL!!! Have a bad board? That’s ok! You get a new one every turn. Have enough abyss tiles to revive Chasm? Not anymore!!! Tired of Chasm eating your ap? Have a cascade or two! So much craziness it has to be insane…

Trying out the newly (albeit only slightly) revamped 5* Iron Man has given me a chance to get some use from a couple of new additions - Deathlok and 5* Riri (1/2/3 in my case) - technologists for Deathlok's AP generation and a Team Iron Man partner to boost IMs red.
It's okay - too much overlap on colours, and you really want two Team Iron Man allies, but it has given me more use out of Iron Man than I thought would ever happen, so it just about counts as 'fun' for that.

Don't underestimate his red either, with a bit of planning, it hits far harder than even Hulkbuster. get-vidmate.com instasave.onl

It was crazy awesome.

Where's 5* Arcade fun team?I kind of wish his Control Room trap was a repeater so it could be fortified. I had success with Apocalypse and Kamala Khan with him though Arcade did little other than provide traps to be matched for boosted damage goodness. Okoye also boosts his damage though he might accidentally tank over her.

Where's 5* Arcade fun team?I ran Arcade/Emm5/Sinister in Thick as Thieves and the damage output can get really crazy! Arcade pretty much guarantees that Sinister’s Behold trap tiles will proc at maximum strength. I expected to rely on the Behold trap tiles as the primary damage outlet, but Arcade’s Happy Birthday! repeater tiles usually wiped out everyone before I could match any Behold tiles.
Arcade/Emm5/Half-Thor
Lots of shenanigans with this team and there’s rainbow coverage with AOE outlets in 3 colors. Unlike Jane, who renders Arcade useless, Half-Thor clears basic tiles, leaving Arcade’s trap tiles in place and frequently grouped together. Unboosted and paired with Emma, my Arcade (Lvl 468) does just about 10k of damage per trap tile. Boosted, I think it was over 20k. That incremental damage paired with Arcade’s Happy Birthday repeater tile shreds the opposing team! His Murderworld power is also a straight up a nuke once you’ve got a few trap tiles in the same color.I also tried Arcade/Emm5 with JJ and Electra with varying degrees of success, but found Riri to be their next best partner by furthering the incremental damage with her repeater tiles and adding a cheap stun to allow for trap tiles to further propagate the board.
I’m hoping (praying) that Arcade’s Happy Birthday will be a great counter to Chasm/iHulk. At only 7AP and being his third color, you should be able to fire it every match. I’m waiting until Arcade is in the 500’s (or boosted) before taking him for a spin in PVP, but he needs Emm5 (or some damage enhancer) to truly be viable.
I also tried him with

There's pros and cons of being a repeater. First of all, it can be targeted by powers. They are pretty common nowadays. Power that targets trap tiles are rare. 5* Dr Strange could do that but I believe most players' build is 5/3/5. You need to run him at X/5/X to remove trap tiles. Yes, trap tiles can be replaced by special tiles. However, it's still subjected to RNG unless it's placed in a specific colour.
Trap tiles can be fortified as well, if I'm not wrong. If you aren't healthpack-sensitive, you can fire his black power to create Doombot repeater. You get AoE passively once per turn if there's at least one Doombot repeater on the board, and the repeater also deals single target damage every turn. So, you have two sources of damage from one Doombot repeater every turn passively. His trap also creates 2 trwo tiles every turn. You can also fire his blue to deal single target damage or crazy AoE.
I'm looking forward to more idea because I can only champ him in January 2023.

Though powers may not target all powers overwrite trap tiles, annoyingly so. One the worst things about Apoc/Arcade/KK is that Maggia Thugs were overwriting traps with 3-turn countdowns that did 30k damage. Vibranium Ore and other supports target repeaters with fortify, so if mThor shows up in PvE there is an existing. No one actually targets traps

Against that team specifically, you can try using Poison Cloud. The 3-turn cd AoE damage is determined at the time of firing. If you remove 5 black/purple trap tiles, you are looking at ~114k AoE at level 569 at 5 cover. Emma & 1/2 Thor, as shared by IrisRyu , looks crazy fun with Arcade. Emma will boost his AoE further by at least 70%, and I'm sure it will hit 100% easily with Thor feeding red. Your AoE would then hit 228k easily. Emma could also help by destroying 3 enemy special tiles but her purple doesn't reduce goons' power levels for some reasons. I'm not sure if it's a bug or not.

Yeah Emma should be fully covered if not champed next time Arcade rolls around, and I rarely use my 5/1/1 half-Thor. That team looks like it could be fun as well.

Being able to double dip on Arcade’s trap tile damage could get very nasty! +Odin’s health bursts can help offset the self damage from the Doombot repeater. I’m labbing it!
I also tried Arcade/Emm5 with Kamala for the additional damage boosts on trap tile matches. It’s the most use I’ve found for KK outside of Jane/Polaris. Faint praise.

The good thing about Emma is that she gives you 50% + 2% per red ap boost even at one cover.
As for fortifiying trap tiles, it's still subjected to RNG though. I don't remember anyone who can fortify trap tiles specifically. Heimdall can't fortify trap tiles. Shuri could do so indirectly via RNG.
I heard other high levelled use KK/Apocalypse/BRB during. Does KK's passive damage also trigger on friendly trap tiles?
0 -
My KK/BRB are in the 500’s, but my Apoc is baby champed at 460, so I never use that team, but I like it in theory.
KK’s passive does trigger on friendly trap tile matches. RNGeezus, please let them be boosted the same week!
0 -
If your Apoc is higher, it should be better. It'll be much better if all are at 550.
I went to test KK with 3* Arcade and She-Hulk but I don't see KK's passive damage being added to it. Could that extra damage have come from Emma instead?
0 -
I just tried it again and KK’s passive isn’t triggering on either 3/5 Arcade’s traps. I must have misread the effects, but I swear that the other team was getting hit with multiple damage hits on a single trap tile match. Sorry about that, but it means that the ceiling for Arcade/Emm5’s damage output is even higher than I thought.
0 -
It happens to everyone. It's normal to misread.
What you saw were probably because there were protect tiles and trap tile in one match that caused multiple damage hits.
3* Arcade could already deal ~30k AoE damage with his Purple Cloud. Even if a new player pull 1 cover of Emma's red, it turns it into a 45k AoE easily. At 3* tier, 45k AoE is more or less an overkill. I saw in reddit that they are seeing more 3* Arcade in pvp, but I don't know how true it is.

I only floated Apoc and KK as a possibility because Apoc boosts Arcades damage and is great with KK. KK and Arcade have no synergy at all, they just both like hanging with Apoc. If you have the right supports and boost you can do turn 1 kills if you switch out Arcade for BRB. I don’t know how big Apocalypse has to be for that to happen. Bigger than my 453 apparently because I have more success with Polaris instead of BRB.
