**** Sabretooth ****

It was challenging to create him because there are already plenty of slashing/healing strikers in the game. But wolverine needs his arch-nemesis so I hope I succeeded in coming up with something that feels thematic and yet at least a little different than what already exists.

This is spot on.

I could see him having a drax-like ability, that does finishing damage (and heals him a ton).

Drax has that mechanic where he does extra damage to enemies who have a lot of health. I could see the inverse of that healing Sabertooth, once he kills someone off. YOU DO NOT want him killing a teammate. That’d fuel him. Sabertooth is the sort of guy that takes pleasure in gutting you, boy.

The "blueflag:. I’m hung up on this 4* Cyke mechanic, a play on XFW’s Green. What if you could destroy the highest enemy AP in a given grid 5x5, etc… And that stuns them? It wouldn’t need to do massive damage to be effective. He neuters your attack. Again, that’s him playing with his prey like a cat who has its paw on the mouse’s tail.

His blackflag.png
needs to combo off of his own abilities, generating AP for his attacks. What if it was a boosted 3* Carol passive, that gives him AP when ANYONE is downed? He’s a loner. He’s not a team player. Victor Creed is chaotic evil, but he’d just as soon benefit from teammates dying as he would enemies.

My $.02. All criticisms are welcome.
