Well, after experience Iron Fist first hand, I have changed my best team comp, and it is X-Force/Goddess Thor/Iron Fist
Iron Fist is better than Loki and in reality does the same thing, here’s why.
Illusions–5AP Shuffles board
IF Purple–5AP creates 9 black, which shuffles the board due to cascade
But Phaserhawk, Loki can help you after a Power Surge, surely that’s better than Iron Fist of K’un-Lun.
I thought that too, except for the fact that IFoKL, will not overwrite charged tiles, add the 9-10 TU tiles, + 1 attack tile, and there are 23 tiles that it does not overwrite. That means there are 41 tiles left of which 7-10 are going to be black already throw in another 9, and you turn damn near half of them into black so you are going to get cascades and you are going to activate surgical strike, and if you stumble into another 5 purple you can pop them for 5K worth of damage before using Surgical Strike, not to mention the cascade is sure to get you some blue and red.
Yeah, the new top team is
4hor/X-Force/Iron Fist
So that frees up Loki for team comps 2-5.
I think Fury or Star-Lord will probably be in the lineup for 2nd best, but they don’t play well with each other so the question is who fits better with either of them.
With Fury I really think you need to run him with Luke Cage because he can protect him from the match damage he would take so that’s Fury/Luke Cage/? I have 2 yellows, blue, purple, black for actives, I could use a green and red which MPQ has not shortage of. So you have options of Patch/Thor/Rags/Sentry/Hulk/Pun etc.
For me I would go Fury/Cage/Thor or Patch…however, if Rags gets his buff soon I could see him fitting better. This comp has Fury tanking 3 colors, but Cage only tanking black
So for me
#1)–X-Force/4hor/Iron Fist
#2)–Fury/Luke Cage/Thor
#3)–Star-Lord/Grocket??? haven’t figured this one out
Just remember, aside from #1, the 2-5 or even 2-8 spots are very close, it’s more about finding the perfect pairings, I have just been schooled though and when asking yourself, is a character better than Xor, then is character better than Hood or Loki, with Iron Fist, he’s not better than Xor, but he is better than Loki and Hood
