I love Tact Dr. Strange. Now he can do some real damage.

I agree. I was hoping he'd be a Tactician so you wouldn't have to choose whether to heal or attack every turn.

I'll never be able to get Cable! #sad
Hopefully they release him for gold or something after PvP season -__-

Infiltrator Emma seems to use both Psychic Tap and War Diamond as her counterattacks.

Edit: Phoenix level 9 doesn't consume all your stamina anymore and applies soulfire.

Good work!
However, now that I have 51 CP, I was thinking of buying Storm (mainly to get the 4.4 Epic Mission) or Phoenix.. Who do you guys recommend and why?
Also, do you know of ways to improve my PvP skillz? LOL
Thanks in advance! ;)

[Nightstar1441]

Still hate PvP...will recruit Deadpool and Cable when they become available later on - will play for the gold.

Already played two battles...ugh - still hate PvP...

Storms un-nerf makes her a little more feasible as a Blaster (since you don't need the turn of set-up for Blizzard anymore), but she's still more awesome as a Tactician.

[John Trenchfoot]

Not something that gets heard often, but props to Playdom. That's quite a few much needed tweaks to certain characters and will hopefully deter the overuse of Cap/Mockingbird/Emma in PvP. I've already substituted Mockingbird for Ghost Rider.

Now, something that DOES get heard often: please throw a buff or 2 Wolverine's way...

[lilyinblue]

The immediate benefit of the Quantum Jumper nerf? The AI is getting a lot more stupid about using it.

I've already taken out the two heroes, and the opponents agent is the only one left standing... and it uses the QJ. "Why yes, I feel like wasting my turn and making this fight end more quickly."

[xhx23x]

It however did get smarter with Scarlet Witch, and it's no longer leading her with Chaos Field. I think it's doing a better job at using the teams though. But yeah the QJ nerf is not making it a good weapon to leave to the AI's devices.

[lilyinblue]

So who do we think the new PvP characters du jour will be?

[xhx23x]

I think magic characters will soon fill up the teams. Dr. Strange and Wanda are already popping up more.

[FantasticFour]

I'm considering a Hercules/Scrapper WW Hulk combo. Lots of muscle and hit points. I don't plan on getting Cable, but he'll be available eventually to everyone, so I'm not going to stress over it. If I just get the special weapon and agent suit, I'll be more than happy.

So Storm, as I get it.. Thanks, krisis!
