Hi Everyone,
Grab your swords, and BAMF onto the MPQ scene with this iconic, blue, swashbucklin’ X-Men.
At last!
From the article:
How much is “almost even more damage”??
His abilities sound very interesting. Can’t wait to see his Red in action.
13 covers and 350k iso will earn you 10k and 1 LT
Ahhh was kinda hoping for another boss event. Oh well.
And will we need a nearly max level Rogue to get Nightcrawler? A lot of my alliance mates missed out on Rogue as they did not have a high enough level Professor X or Cyclops to qualify for the last rounds.
Seems pretty straightforward. Destroying enemy AP seems to be a go to move for new character designs. Random tile change move and a couple AP based direct damage moves.
I wonder how he matches up AOE attacks that also stun. He would still get hit by 5* Court Death, or 4* Jean passive then? Sandman’s green would stun him and do damage if he’s in front?
Of the remaining 4-Star X-Men not used in the previous SHIELD Training, I have Jean, X-23, and Cyclops championed, and Iceman at 5/5/1.
So I’m assuming it will either not use X-Men, or use quasi-X-person-but-not-really Deadpool (3/0/4) just to lock me out of the Kurt cover. Or use Prof X again, who couldn’t get me Rogue. … Or use Rogue as the ultimate slap in the face.
Got to wonder how that third power compares to Power with Purpose. Higher cost, hopefully higher damage ratio. Also hopefully, designating strongest color won’t be so detrimental compared to biggest pool to make it bad.
Now Kitty Pryde please and thank you.
NC sounds cool, I hope his powers work as well as stated on paper.
Too bad he will lose two of his active powers if teaming with Gambit (purple, red).
He should play well enough with Rogue though, I think…
Avoiding team damage is clever, he should do small damage when landing from airborne though.
“We talked to D3 Go! Senior Producer Josh Austin about the bouncing blue elf”
“Bouncing blue elf” is the worst description I’ve heard of Nightcrawler to date.
I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the sneak peek just got updated. Rogue is one of the required characters…
“Josh Austin: Actually Nightcrawler is really great with Cloak and Dagger and generating Black and Purple AP.”
C&D can generate black and yellow…
But another toon to use with 005 Gambit!
Haha i saw that and re read it to see if i just miss read it or something, glad I’m not the only one who noticed
@Brigby can you ask if Shield Training will be essentially the same as Rouge’s or if they did any tweaks to it?
QUOTE: “Josh Austin: Actually Nightcrawler is really great with Cloak and Dagger and generating Black and Purple AP. Overall though yes, when putting a team together having characters that create specific color tiles works well with Nightcrawler as he generates more tiles in the color most dominant on the board.”
Whoaaaa Cloak and Dagger generate Purple?! I thought it was Yellow 
I can’t wait to play Nightcrawler with my 0/0/5 3* Gambit!
I’m pretty sure that Josh Austin has never actually played MPQ, or is completely colorblind. Because this is like the 14th time he’s suggested a character to go with another because they generate this or that color, when they don’t.
Is his blue not just a more expensive version of Mordo’s purple? Am I missing something there?
Yes, there were some tweaks made to S.H.I.E.L.D. Training. I’ll post those details once they’re finalized, and ready for announcement
