Just looked at essential boosted characters. Black Bolt (3/1/0), Jubilee (1 cover), Gambit (oh, nooo) and Bullseye (on regrowth after being harvested). This will be real fun.
The devs this time made a decent set of essentials with 3bit and Jubilee using charge tiles together and Bullseye naming protects for all the purple you chase. Nice job!
Edit: just wanted to clarify this team makes the team up node a lot more enjoyable than some recent ones. Synergy is possible after all!
Add in 3Falcon. Match purple as much as possible so 2Bullseye is making protect tiles, then spam the board with more protect tiles with Falcon’s purple, gather yellow so Falcon is buffing tiles, then flip them all with Wasp’s yellow.
One trick for 'Sploits if you are only interested in damage is “the Avengers big 3” - use IM/Cap/Thor symbols (1,4,9) and it destroys a random row which is one of the highest damage effects. Easy to remember.
Sheesh I had never paid attention to the symbols. I committed 6,7,9 to memory since that’s “destroy random column”, same reason. Big damage, good board shake.
Optimus,
I believe 149 (row) and 679 (column) do the same damage. In theory their cascades/match effect should be the same, but anecdotally I feel 149/row causes more. Do you feel column destruction is better? or in Gwenpool’s case, do you just use whatever code you memorize…
I don’t know exactly how well this holds up, but column destruction allows new gems to drop deeper into the board and therefore there is more scope for cascades happening in rows above them.
