    Default How're the new upgrades for characters?

    Recently, there're a lot of upgrades for old character including costumes with new abilities.
    How are they working for you? Can you share some insight? I'll share mine first.

    For newer costume upgrades I have:
    Colossus: Makes him even better tank! LOVE the new abilities: Immune bleed, chill, burn and resistance to psychic and crits.
    Black Cat : It's ok with x3 bleeds, fun for a while with Wolvie but a bit boring since Wolvie doesn't do anything much.
    Cap: WAYYYY OP (we all know this)

    What i'd like to know
    Iron Man: new costume with shield any good?
    Hulk: warbound good?
    Ms. Marvel: new energy costume stuff
    Spiderman
    Thor: 2MOM good?
    Kitty: crit for first 3 turns, deadly?
    Mr. Fantastic
    Thing
    Sif: No one has said anything about her new costume, how is it?

    Thanks
    sorry for bad english, lol.

    Sif bruiser is really nice. I was able to deal 35k damage on epic Green Goblin before her buff wore out. Tempered Steel lasts for 4 turns.

    With Kitty's Alt costume, is Scrapper or Infiltrator better?

    iron man got more than a boost to his costume the uni beam is much stronger he's a much better character now
    ww hulk is pretty amazing a team buff was pretty much what separated him from Thor and that just closes the gap.
    Ms. Marvel looks good. dunno haven't tried her out yet i haven't heard any complaints except maybe the costs
    spiderman buff has been glitchy and he doesn't start with great responsiblity otherwise he's okay waiting for FF version
    Thor comes down swinging so he's good for points in pve with his new alt still prefer him to use inspire bravery myself i like Avengers costume more.
    Kitty is downright mean that she can start phased you can sit back and do little to nothing but counter and use one turn of lockheed or you can bring a quick beat down. nice options probably still better as an infiltrator.
    Mr. Fantastic got a decent boost and boosting the team is awesome if you didn't get avengers outfits the FF outfits may turn out to be better. situationally atleast
    Thing. still sucks but atleast he has a FF outfit. they went to a lot of trouble to give him some boosts and proceeded to give it to Luke Cage and Colossus as well. LOL
    Sif yeah she's good. was good before alt is kinda cool i suppose

    I would really like it if the original costumes would get a "SEPARATE" buff so that the alt costumes wouldn't be always better. the buff doesn't have to be better than the alts buff just different. but whatever.

    What i'd like to know
    Iron Man: I don't find stuns to be that much of a threat, but then again, he is a subpar blaster to begin with. The sta regen is nice because of how much unibeam costs, but there are better blasters and always will be since he is given to everyone.
    Hulk: The warbound buff is okay, it's interesting to pair it with counterattackers like Captain America and Infiltrators, because when they are hit they will immediately get the buff and counterattack with the increased attack and accuracy. At the same time, this makes it hard to build up stacks on them.
    Ms. Marvel: I haven't used the new costume, but the stamina restore and reduced energy passive on the normal one is great. Energy attacks are everywhere, and if you use Kree Speed everytime it's up, she is a stamina hog.
    Spiderman: Black spidey starts with great power instead of great responsibility, which makes for an interesting strategy. I don't find his passive to be that useful though, nobody ever used Spidey for his damage anyway, so boosting it is kinda silly.
    Thor: This one is awesome, though I wish that MoM stacked up to 3 times so Inspire Bravery on 1st turn wasn't wasted. This is great in PVE though, as on the first time you can pretty much bring all 3 enemies down to 50% or so, and with Blaster Thor one shot them if they are bruisers
    Kitty: Kitty's makes her phased for the first three turns. It is okay because you can get a fast sneak attack out of it, but generally, call lockheed isn't that strong and it's the only thing you can do that doesn't remove Phased. Changing her class to scrapper is good though, as you follow up with Shadow Kick ensuring that their defense stays low
    Mr. Fantastic: Haven't used
    Sif: Sif costume is great, but like Thor, there's little reason to cast Fortify as you are buffed immediately. She is one of the best at shredding infiltrators with this costume though.

    Actually I noticed that Fortify does stack with the costume passive for Sif.

    It has more to do with the Honed Edge effect of Inspire Courage than the Fortified effect.

    I went with scrapper because she already has counter in 1st 3 rounds but i have heard good things about infi. sooo... not sure maybe someone who uses her more can help... maybe Flinx..?

    Shadowcat is IMO the best Infiltrator out there, fullblown more damage that Spidy, has a quadruple chance of counter attack (class bonus, combat awareness, strike from the shadows and Lockheed) and when Phased her lvl 2 attack is a powerhouse.
