4* Cyclops
Pro – Always boosted in Apocalypse and his powers are handy for beating the boss. Red can hit very hard.
Cons – Very puzzly, if you are looking to boost with Okoye he will spend your team-up AP
Miles Morales
Pro – Has invisibility and purple hits hard
Cons – needs a web making partner to be most effective
Riri
Pro - Her blue is a very effective AP generator, her red is a good finisher and her green can buy you time
Cons – Her Red power can sometimes get circumvented by jump to the front mechanics if you are trying to kill that character
Nico
Pro – Special tile creator and booster so has lots of good partners and can heal
Cons – Her shields don’t protect her and she has to take damage to unlock her other powers. Countdown can be too easily matched away.
Red Hulk
Pro – Very effective Green AP steal. Big health.
Cons – His green is far too expensive for modern passive meta.
Gwenpool
Pro – Fantastic board precision clearing powers and random green damage can hit targets normally out of reach
Cons – Very squishy
4* Ghost Rider
Pros – His black can be devastating
Cons – The rest of his powers are underwhelming/left behind by power creep
Winter Soldier
Pros – I guess he can steal AP?
Cons – Everything else about him.
Rogue
Pros – Still a top tier 4* - green and red hit hard although red is a bit pricey
Cons – She can sometimes suicide by jumping in front
Spider Gwen
Pros – Decent nuke and can stun
Cons – Stun is random
Legion
Pros – So many powers to use!!!
Cons – Is tricky to manage with the AP shifts and not every power is a winner
Drax
Pro – Until now none but actually he works quite well with Mantis…
Cons – He isn’t very good.
4* Fisk
Pro – Well when the AI plays him it always has lots of goon countdown tiles out for him to spam
Cons – When the player plays him, we don’t and so he has all that unusable black AP unless we sacrifice our actually very useful yellow countdowns. Self defeating.
4* Iron Fist
Pro – He self fuels his powers and hits like a truck.
Cons – Not a lot actually, generally pretty solid.
Wiccan
Pro – His green, if you can get it to hit on an enemy special heavy board is pretty nice. His magic barrier is OK too.
Cons – Green is expensive, half the time it doesn’t really work and he is never transforming into the Demiurge
Domino
Pro – Her powers self fuel and she is good for cascades and black AP teams
Con – The Black tile drop whilst more likely is still random and doesn’t always do anything useful
Shuri
Pro – Fortification of tiles is a very useful power. Her AP reduction/increase was useful at the time.
Cons – With passive powers ruling the game, she is not as effective as she was but still useful
