Trash. As predicted, his damage power overlaps with the characters you’d like to pair him with. He does nothing well unless you are trying to use him with Jane to counter Chasm, who is already getting a nerf.

I was hoping the next two 5 stars after Omega Red would be meta, 0 for 1 so far.I finished my Vulture. He’s not bad, but he’s not Meta, I’d say, but Meta characters are few and far between. Honestly, I’d argue that Omega Red isn’t - his only good power is his countdown and that’s a very destructible condition. Even without people who specifically destroy it, it goes away a lot.
I’d say he’s very good (i.e. a top pick when boosted,) but not meta.
I leveled my Omega Red to 474 when he was new and boosted, and he speeds up PVE with 550 Okoye when his black tile is at boosted levels. I’m gonna get him to at least 500 once I decide which bunch of 5s I want to pull.
feeling tepid on this one, but looks useful. Was really hoping there’d be some great synergy with Gwenom, this purple is far better. Too much color overlap - we just had a lackluster symbiote (Jeff) of the same color set. This whole symbiote summer thing just isn’t happening if Vrex is probably the best one. At least the store is okay, Kingpin IMO maybe the best rebalance and a reason worth pulling.
Looks like a good partner for MThor / looks like a perfect target for MThor.

I think Omega Red has lost an awful lot of value, assuming Chasm disappears. The two biggest advantages he had were “does damage while stunned” and “damage becomes permanent if the CD expires” and both of those are kind of pointless now.
So will Carnage Miles be the primary feed of 4-Star Miles or a secondary?
Because it says Kingpin is “Unchanged”.

Yeah, for PVP he was only good when both Omega Red and Apoc were boosted. I did beat a bunch of Chasm/iHulk teams with Okoye and Omega Red. I’ll use him mostly for PVE.
As I am looking at this I feel red is just too expensive. It might do decent damage but it feels like it will need a lot of charge tiles out in order to do decent damage for 10 AP.
Purple passive sounds good. 3 web tiles seems light for the active but it’s cheap. I think the passive on attack tiles is his self synergy.
Green 6 1249 attack tiles is extremely good. 3 enemy tiles is not. But this feeds his passive immensely.
I think 5* carnage will be a great partner for him. Being able to spam the board with attack tiles and use the 55% additional match damage.
He will also be interesting with Chasm with all those web tiles
I think 3,5,5 will be his build.
Overall I am torn between him and venomsaurus
Doesn’t Venom-Rex also have a power with “cannot resurrect” as a major advantage/selling point?
A bunch of these guys are going to lose value if the new metagame ends up Chasm-less.
The only problem I have with his kit is that he can’t be teamed with 4* miles and match web tiles to speed him up.
Looks like I’ll have to find another way.
@IceIX is his purple passive a bonus modifier to match damage or a separate additional proc like Magick’s?
Enough with the Spider-Verse characters for crying out loud. This Miles and the 3 Star Miles makes it 6 Spidey characters in a row
So his release store will have Kingpin and Gwenom - who will JUST have left latest.
Who comes up with this?
I would argue, that there’s barely any webbers in 5star, and kingpin is the wasted opportunity here.
My point is we don’t need more ways to pull Gwenom.
Anyone who wanted her just had 12 weeks to pull her.
I guess we really don’t know who these stores are for.
Personally I never pull from these stores. I have every 5-star champed (aside from Sinister, Yelena & Rescue). I would only consider pulling if Okoye was in there. I always Pull from LL store.
My guess is these stores are for people nowhere near as advanced as my/our rosters. They’re for people filling out their 5s, or opportunities to get synergy characters along with a new release. These people are clearly not hoarding their CP, so probably didn’t pull as much from the latest than expected.
If it’s that - I think it’s ok.
If they’re not hoarding, how do they have the CP to pull from new release stores with CP?
Do they? or are they saving 100 odd and that’s it?
That arm thing hurts my eyes to look at. I don’t even know what to do now - I guess try and finish Omega before this montrosity hits. I definitely want no more Gwenom and don’t care about the Dinosaur. Ugh…the two most terrible looking releases in a very long time visually and boringly predictable powers.
At least he’s making charged tiles I suppose, that might help.
But if they let her rotate out just as this release happened then all the people who skipped her because of the lack of a web partner would be up in multiple arms about that. I don’t think they can win on these sort of choices.

That must be why Miles has multiple arms…
