... Somehow iHulk returns!!!!

EB is right. pick 2 ihulk Frankie is unstoppable on offense. That pair will beat every other pick 2 combo (that I've seen). The end always seems to come down to ihulk frankie vs enemy frankie.

Couple of points to highlight.
1. Watch the enemy green black and red. you have to wait until they burn their ap in those colors.
2. When the enemy has frankie + teammates, leave the charged tiles on the board. your offense depends on charged tiles.
3. When its your team vs frankie, match away all the charged tiles. Neither frankie takes damage when theres a flood of charged tiles on the board.
4. It is a tough match to eliminate charged tiles but not leave your frankie exposed. but relatively easy with your ihulk and or nuke TU.

I havent tried to fight Frankie ihulk Wong yet, but ihulk is def the best floating pick two combo.

They're planning to nerf all 3 of her powers with a patch tonight, so we'll see where it leaves her. If she can still go airborne for a relatively small amount of green AP, it won't change anything.

I do still feel slightly bad about publicizing the team, but somebody would've done it eventually.

You definitely shouldn't feel bad. And I remember the devs commenting in the Discord AMA on the question about people feeling they don't play their game. Her OP would have been caught immediately if actual players had tested her. Even before iHulk, she was deemed OP within an hour of release.

There is a big difference between "playing" a game and PLAYING a game. If there is a weakness or an OP on a character, the player base will pick it up within an hour or so of release.

I went looking for this team in pick 2 but couldn't find a match.
Somebody want to run Electro and Dr Strange with Kamar Taj?

Frankie Nova got nerfed last night. I woke up to way less of her in sim. Looks like people may be abandoning this team as she is no longer OP

Frankie/Hulk will still be a very strong pick-2 team. I'm not sure if it'll eat the entire game now that she's been toned down, although it's definitely still possible.

I'm not sure how often anybody's run into that one whale whose roster always gets posted here, but he has a 550 Ikaris and often runs Ikaris/Hulk, with purple supports. Some lower level players do run that team, but at high levels it's very, very difficult to deal with.

Frankie probably can't do as much damage as Ikaris can now (not sure -- he's very good, but I don't know what she'll be like at 550), but she can still go airborne for a pretty long time, and she can do it using the color that Hulk adds to the board every turn, which means she's going to go airborne a lot.

They probably should've dealt with Hulk back when they did Chasm. Chasm was too good in many ways, and fixing him was necessary, but Hulk is a time bomb, just sitting around waiting for somebody else to break him.
