Strongly disagree. If their only weakness against Chasm hulk is the ap drain, then there is no better partner for them than Kang

HawkEyeball+Kang with Kang’s purple proc at 4 or 5 and Hawkeye’s purple at 5 means you gain 5 blue (and 2 red if you care) when a CD expires.

2 turns = 10 blue (if you decide not get a blue match or + 1/2 AP boost.)

There’s a good chance be able to one-shot chasm with Gargantos before he gets amount of chasm tiles he needs on turn 3 or 4 depending the levels of each character.

But let’s suppose you can’t for some reason.

Fire Gargantos blue and kill IHulk. Now you’ll have 3 1-turn CDs that can expire and give you 15 blue on 1 turn. 30 on 2 turns.

If u have iron man's recharge its 9 blue ap per tile.. 3 tiles= game over.. did u see the video of this that was shared?

sort of. SC without boardshake can stall out pretty easily (which saps him of both damage and healing potential). Kang might help SC keep whatever AP he already has, but in pick 2 I don't think he will help SC get to winfinite very quickly.

Kang + fosthor seems likely to be strong in terms of offense, but somewhat vulnerable since they both lack any damage mitigation.

It's a nifty PvE exploit, but IM40 doesn't survive iHulk in PvP.
Not going to work against Hulkasm.

No definitely not..

So what’s the point of bringing him against iHulk and Chasm? I would rather run SheThor and Shang Chi against them and hope for charged tiles and lucky board shake.
At least I would lose or win faster.

Yeah, and also every Kang-based counter team that people have talked about here is abysmal on defense. You might as well run Shang-Chi because you'll get absolutely murdered if you run something like Kang and Gargantos or Hawkeye.

I never really consider defensive teams. For me it's all about offense and speed. Taking hits doesn't matter

I'm with you. A counter doesn't need to be good on defense. I'll put out my own Immortal team when I'm done hunting them and live with the retals.

I hate Chasm, but everything he does that kills the game for me has now been mitigated in pick-3. Pick-2 is still an issue on bad boost weeks, but I'm not miserable anymore.

PvP will still be a wall of Chasm/Hulk, so how is Kang not a failure?

Because he allows me to easily cut through every team again, including Chasm/Hulk.

All that was needed to unbreak Chasm was something that negates the AP drain, and now we've got it. Problem solved

Why would I care about a "wall of chasm/hulks" if he's now just as easy to defeat as any other team?
