I’ve just got completely wiped out by America Chavez Passive.
The thing is, her Green Passive power fires EVERY SINGLE TIME. Omg those painful Critical tiles, those painful one-two punch, stars everyhere, plus her holy Yellow Passive generates so much AP and the Red works like +20% all Match Damage boost.
Is there anyway to counter America Chavez, I really need help.
Stuns or “have more AP than her.” Hold off on firing powers until you take her out unless those powers generate AP. If you can stun her, even if it’s just for a turn or two, the AI may fire other powers to reduce its AP pool, and when she comes back online, she isn’t necessarily generating criticals.
Without seeing your roster it’s hard to tell what counters you might have for her, but if you have a decently covered IM40(3* Iron Man) or Vulture you usually can get way more AP than she can make on her own and essentially cut off her crit production. Another really good counter to her, if you have her, is Mockingbird. If America’s team gets a match four or five in a color or TU tile your team gains AP or sometimes fires one of your teams powers for free if you have enough AP banked up in the color they got a match four or five in. Two more possible team member are Captain Marvel 4* or Main Event Hulk. C4rol automatically generates AP for you when the other team matches it’s strongest color and MEH can even make matches before every turn if you have him well covered. Hopefully at least some of these characters you can use to counter her.
An OBW TU would work as well, especially if you can snag a low cover TU (one or two covers) as they’re low TU cost for a good enough steal to shut her down most the time.
Taking her out first, before she can get cooking, has always been my strategy. If the opponents can’t manufacture more AP than you she is pretty much dead weight. But sometimes I see her paired with another priority target, like Jessica Jones. Jessica is another one I like to take out first, so in that case I’ll do what others above have suggested and bring a +1AP buff into battle to buy myself enough time to defeat the other target, then hit Chavez.
Enemy cascades against Chavez are always a risk, though, and if she’s paired with 5-stars the damage can start racking up fast.
An overlooked (but also fairly weak) counter is Teen Jean, since America’s crit tiles increase the chance of triggering Psychic Feedback, which stuns and damages the enemy team and destroys AP in the enemies’ strongest color.
There are quite a few attacks at the 4* tier that target dynamic AP pools. Yondu’s black (destroys up to 7 in enemy’s highest colored pool), Nightcrawler’s blue (steals 4 of enemy’s strongest), Mordo’s purple (destroy’s 5 of enemy’s highest colored pool), Kraven’s blue (lol), Elektr4’s red (steals 1 each of black, purple red every turn), red hulk keeps that green at 0, kingpin keeps that Yellow under control, Bucky can steal up to 4 of a chosen color on his purple, W4sp’s blue passively steals 2ap of whatever color the countdown is each turn; there must be some others, and your mileage will certainly vary with all these. But AP control is the name of the game here.
I am up to 10 covers on Wiccan now, and I’m really curious how well he will work as a partner/counter to Chavez. He is kind of the 4* black bolt, and I think a team that is in the business of saving up AP will help him transform into the Demiurge for extra cascade potential.
