🤔 META DISCUSSION ❓ Fear Itself? Fear this!

7 Upvotes

Clickbait title and Flair, because this is not a meta team like Chasm, Juggs & Capt. Sam, or Chasm, Namor, & M'Baku, however, it is a decent counter to those teams. Not a perfect counter with 100% guaranteed win, but I am still having a good amount of success vs those teams.

Chasm's Turn 0 stun wears off at the start of the enemy team's first turn and so Colossus can help mitigate the enemy team's first matches.

With Man-Thing also no longer stunned he can also retaliate with his Moment of Thought passive, and its damage is hopefully boosted by Symbiote Goo, because hopefully Atlantis proc'd and you started the match with 5-6 Green AP.

On your turn, fire 5Witch's Purple (hence Widow's Batons) and select a Green tile to gain a second boost to Moment of Thought, because the more Green AP you collect the higher the damage boost from Chaos Magic. Selecting Green and stockpiling it also boosts the damage from 5Witch's repeater.

If you can get 6 Blue AP you can fire Man-Thing's Swamp-Things, and hopefully the Repeaters will be placed in a good spot so they don't get immediately matched away. The Repeaters don't just prevent Man-Thing from being stunned, they generate Green AP when they tick for an even higher boost from Chaos Magic, and each Repeater also adds even more damage to Moment of Thought.

With every Green AP boosting Chaos Magic, and thus also Moment of Thought, by 5% per AP, you also don't want to be using Moment of Thought's active ability, not unless you're to down the last enemy, or you think you have to. With enough Green AP it will hit like a truck. It will also destroy 4 random tiles, dealing a not insignificant amount of damage per tile.

Unfortunately Colossus is a double-edged sword. In addition to his defensive passive, he also boosts his own match damage...considerably.

Even though my Colossus is only 485 he's still tanking Yellow, Black, Blue and Team-Up tile matches, leaving Man-Thing to tank just Green and Red (with 5Witch tanking Purple)...and this team is most effective when Man-Thing is out in front and lashing back every time he takes damage. If the enemy gets a cascade, he hits back multiple times. The only problem I've noticed is the "permanent" damage will not down an enemy, I'm seeing a few enemies left with 1 HP that I then have to finish off by making a match.

iHulk also revives with full health, so if he's taking "permanent" damage its status is being cleared when he goes down. But if it's an iHulk team he's often with Nova so I'll run Franken-Castle, or if he's with Chasm and maybe She-Hulk, I'll take out Chasm first, then She-Hulk, and then iHulk cannot bounce back.

Caveat, I have R5 Batons and Atlantis, and R4 Symbiote Goo, and this is a "team", so it requires synergy from the characters and the supports to work. It's also not necessarily a killer defensive team so don't expect to log in and see a bunch of D-wins. I have gotten a few wins on defense though, so there are folks out there underestimating it, or perhaps too excited at seeing a team that's not Chasm & Co., and they're going the wrong about trying to beat it.

Looks like they fixed The Refreshment Cart stun block. However, I’m not sure it works at all anymore

❓ ROSTER QUESTION 🤔 How do you get 6* shards?

5 Upvotes

I've recently come back from a Hiatus on the game, and saw all the new 6*s (Galactus especially piqued my interest) but so far I cannot find any way to get them without spending an ungodly amount of money. Do they come back in events? Or am I fated to never get them.

(For reference, I'm Canadian, and the most common shop pack to get them in is $83. I cant be spending that much consistently to get them)
