My first thought was to use X-Force Wolvie & DP here as I have both champed and they make a great combo of DP purpleflag.png
into Wolvie blackflag.png
, but I’m wondering if IM40 would be a better/faster companion to DP. Recharge gives everyone more AP to use, Storm can still use her greenflag.png
& blackflag.png
plus IM gives an outlet for blueflag.png
.

I’m really, really liking 4* DP and Peggy. My Peggy is 3/5/3, and that 5th cover in yellow makes all the difference. I’ve had way more defensive wins than usual.

I also see a few familiar names in the leader list and queues. I once accidentally hit rainkingucd a week or so ago, I didn’t check prior to the battle. Apologies for that, I don’t intentionally attack anyone I know, unless they’ve left a cupcake team, of course.

I would have preferred X-Force Wolverine to be boosted for matches that didn’t require someone with his exact same color scheme. Still, between him and 4-star Deadpool, there’s a lot of true healing going around.

I found storm to be very good with IM40 and 4thor. It was a ridiculously crazy loop. Also storm almost always took all the damage, so helped that I used 1 health pack each time she went below a certain health instead of healing everyone.

Basically, once ironman gets his yellow going. I would use 4thor blue, then red. Then use storm green, to try to get back all the charged tiles that give you 3 times the amount of ap. Usually storm’s green would hit a few charged yellow thereby starting ironman’s yellow once he because unstunned. In addition, I would get back enough blue to stun one more time.

Defending, I won quite a few times with that team at first. It was awesome to see positive points while waiting for health packs to regenerate. At the end, I think people started finding a good combo to combat my team though.
