“Ha! It’s a monkey! In a suit! … what? Ahh, nooooo!” - Last words, Unknown Assassin

A not uncommon reaction to being one of Hit-Monkey’s targets.

Hailing from the snowy regions of Japan and guided by the ghost of his assassin mentor, Hit-Monkey tracks and puts an end to those that harm the innocent. Highly skilled at both close combat and firearms, Hit-Monkey is an assassin’s assassin. Literally."

Will the AP destruction drain over multiple AP color pools?

One of the peeves I have with many “destroy AP in random color” powers is that it often chooses only one color and sticks with it. It wouldn’t be cool if your drained a bank of (say) 15 TU ap expecting it to destroy 3+5 AP, but then chooses an enemy color that has only 1 AP in it.

So I feel this power should either destroy AP around the board, or (if it is single-color) destroy 3 AP as a baseline and after that consume 3 Team-Up AP per extra AP destroyed until it reaches 0 on either side.

3

Will the 3* version be immediately available in packs? I forgot if they announced that’s how they all will work or if it was an intro thing.

4

I think it will be for all of them, the last two were available (at 12x odds) pretty much immediately. I’m hoarding so I can play with a near-complete one, myself.

5

You’ll be glad when he’s the essential 3* in PvP and both Chasm and iHuulk are boosted… :wink:

I find it a little bit odd they left on the down killing aspect for 3s. Since there are no rooms in the 3 tier that revive, and very few in the 4* tier.
Pretty much a waste of power budget on this character.

Will he? With 3* health, iHulk is putting this character down quickly.

7

It depends on which affiliation is 4 and 5 as this character could bully a wide amount of characters.
The chahulk counter on 3* tier means the chahulk meta is abusive on 4* tier too.
This 3* version has the difference on draining TU for greater AP destroy, which is not the best feature, still to covert one tile into purple each turn can be helpful for the allies.

8

Should the second half of the red power be passive, like it is on the 5* version?

Killjoy. :rofl:

And, we’re revealed! The newest character to come to MPQ is Hit-Monkey! Here in 3-Star form is his tux and blue tie rockin’ Hitman persona.

11

I get what you mean, especially when PvE has no reviving enemies (maybe it does on Challenge Nodes? I wouldnt know). But on the other hand, it makes it easy to have that red power as TU (tho the damage could be too low).

12

Does his TU work against Chasm? It isn’t broken like Silver Surfer black?

13

I’m not sure if this is a bug. What happens is that both Chasm and She-Hulk will trigger their revive passive: destruction of Abyss tiles and destruction of random columns respectively. However, they won’t revive, and it doesn’t trigger iHulk’s passive.

Here’s the video of She-Hulk’s passive going off even though she’s downed.

I have champed 3* Hit Monkey today and tried him in a few nodes. I noticed that when I use his purple and then use his red it looks like he first does damage from the red power, then the purple countdown vanishes and he does team damage. Is this as it should be?

15

Yes:

When you use a power while he is invisible, he will become visible again.

16

After climbing to float in HM’s PvP he makes a good partner for Chasm + mThor, though would be better if his red was green instead. His black is surprisingly good as a battery for Shang-Chi as well. With Chasm + iHulk, HM and hulk changed the board to pink (sometimes red I’m not sure why, feeling festive maybe) and green.

17

Hit monkey creates either pink or red depending on the opposition strongest Color if they have pink as strong Color he makes red instead

18

Wow champed him already.. I’ve only pulled 4 covers :rofl::rofl:
