New Character - **** Northstar (Classic) ****

Cool, some Alpha Flight. Now announce some Excalibur.

Spider-Man 2099 confirmed as SHIELD Training essential, too. Glad I champed him.

Sure, yes, absolutely.

But Northstar is pretty obviously not meta or game changing.

Am I missing something or is this guy terrible

In the age of shards and dilution, I’m happy I have one above 270 before another character rolls in, no matter how tinykitty or meta they turn out to be.

Thanks for this post. I have no idea who this guy is.

First ability is not to my liking. Damage seems to be low (1333 damage at 270) for 8 blue ap. It could be due to the ability to choose a row to destroy, to gain only yellow ap.

Edit: gains blue and black ap tol but destroyed tiles don’t deal damage.

Second ability is to generate up to 5 teamup tiles on the board and a 3 turn burst heal on random ally and turn them invisible but uses 6 yellow ap.

Third ability looks new. Send himself and Target airborne for 1 turn, though Riri could do this conditionally. Destroy 2 tiles in airborne enemy’s second strongest colour after they land and destroy 1 tile in target’s second strongest colour. At 5 covers, destroy 3 ap.

Shield Training essentials: Vulture, Mr Fantastic and Spidey-2099.

This character requires a lot of control and planning if you are into tactical play or slow play.

In 4* land, I remember Cyclops benefits from having more teamup tiles. There might be more but Cyclop stands out for me now.

Edit: He and Cyclops clash. Back to a white board.

How much do I want to champ him? 0/10 unless I can find some interesting use for him.

Where the hell are the devs/pr people? The holidays are long over and we have no official threads. We shouldn’t have to be scrounging through alternative sources to find out stuff about this game when we should be told here.

January events thread where? Wake up goddamnit.

@IceIX just posted it formatted correctly, but still with errors about if you get tokens for Infinite Pursuit or Venom Bomb. I saw this on Facebook and Twitter, but not here. I assume it’s been on Discord for days

12k health at 270 jeez that’s low. Long run, who cares, pebble in an ocean of guys just to fill a 2 week deadline, but I can think of a couple of baby champed 4s that can one shot this guy.

He seems meh on first read.

I will say again: 4* tier is dead. Good characters are buried by their predecessors. Broken characters render almost 100 predecessors superfluous, and trash tier filler just make dilution worse. Every new 4* is just a waste of everyone’s time and money.

they probably wont ever stop with the schedule they’ve established. but adding to the 3* and 5* tiers and leaving 4* alone for awhile would be a smart move.

***Mod note: Closing thread. Please use the official character thread. Thanks!
