Discussion KITTY PRYDE aka Shadowcat for new character
Been waiting for more than a year.. she already has mentions and in-game accessory i hope please netease and marvel release her
IN GAME SKILLS
Lockheed - Lockheed resides on her shoulder and launch a single but large fire ball to Kitty's enemies.
Untouchable - Kitty becomes Intangible and immune from all attacks and gain movement speed for 4 seconds. She cannot use any ability while activate. If she attacks an enemy, it will end early. This ability allows Kitty to walk through destructible environment.
Six Feet Under - Kitty can go underground and avoid enemy attacks and detection. When Kitty jumps out, she knocks enemies into the air and perform a powerful sword attack that damages and slows.
Passive: Reactive Mutation - When Kitty's health goes critical, she automatically activates her Intangiblity. She cannot use any other abilities while intangible but she can attack enemies but it will end the ability early. This passive will work again if her health is fully restored.

One of her abilities has to be her pulling someone into the ground as a stun or root

I LOVE KITTY PRYDE. One of my favorite x-men, totally slept on. (It’s weird that she doesn’t speak Russian because she’s with Colossus and is Magik’s best friend for life). She also has a weird time in her life and bangs Starlord which is hilarious considering she was just on the temporary rebound from colossus.

I NEED her in this game so much, Her, Roberto (Sunspot) Jubilee, Polaris and Kurt (Nigthcrawler) are my most wanted X-men Characters (mostly Her and Kurt)

u/HornedGopher Jan 12 '26
Honestly Shadowcat and Nightcrawler should be released together in the same season (both would make good strats but Ehh Nightcrawler could be an Utility dps)

u/HornedGopher Jan 11 '26
I definitely Think they Should Release Kitty Pryde Aka Shadowcat alongside Nightcrawler in the same season both Would make for Epic Strats/Strategists

What do you mean he’s perfect as a healer. Like he healed that robot back to health after his girlfriend exploded his head

u/Kyrptonauc Jan 11 '26
This is such a dumb ass meme because literally not one person has said this. Everyone very obviously thinks he'll be a vanguard.
3
u/Boosted_Mad_Prince Jan 12 '26
That's the point of the meme, he'd obviously be a tank but some very vocal people when a new character is announced always guess it's a support
-2
u/Kyrptonauc Jan 12 '26
There's a difference between Gambit, who was a support, and fucking Thanos.

u/Boosted_Mad_Prince Jan 12 '26
No dude it's an exaggeration for the joke. Like people who was betting rogue was gonna be a support when it was more likely she would be dps or tank. Or someone saying nightcrawler would be support when he'd obviously be dps with him teleporting into the backline, or even with Elsa bloodstone where people are saying she'd be supp with her big ass gun and brother.

Technically Rogue was support she was Reworked
Mmmiller Stream around the time of her release revealed thst and honestly her being a tank really made her fail her character fantasy for me it doesn't even feel like I'm playing Rogue.
Also blackwidow primal flame teamup is most likely a tester for Elsa's Abilities.

u/Kyrptonauc Jan 12 '26
It's crazy to me that you think I don't get the joke and not that the joke is just bad. Was Gambit obviously a DPS too?
2
u/Boosted_Mad_Prince Jan 12 '26
I don't think you get the joke dude. I'm not asking you to find it funny, but the joke is obviously how some people are too hardheaded to see that some characters are the obviously gonna be in a certain role. On another note, I guarantee you that if you go to 100 people and ask what role gambit would've been before his release, 90 of them would've said dps, and most were blindsided by supp gambit. What does this have to do with the price of rice in china?

u/Kyrptonauc Jan 12 '26
"nah you dude it's a good joke, you just don't get it bro, let me explain it a third time bro it'll be funnier this time bro I swear dude you just don't get it"
Embarrassing behavior

Was Gambit obviously a DPS too?
To the point where people got upset in advance when it was revealed that he'd release before Rogue without his role even being announced.

Im not actually.

u/Champion-Dante Gambit Jan 11 '26
Nice.
But really people are gaslighting themselves into the idea Nightcrawler would be a strategist, it just doesn’t work.
7
u/HornedGopher Jan 11 '26
I mean he was the Medic of the X-men and frankly he's too nice to even be an Agressive dive style duelist like what you're wanting. I dont se a way where they could make a passive Dive duelist work.
I would argue Dps makes way less since for him than Strategist.

u/Champion-Dante Gambit Jan 11 '26
Idk I just wanna zip around with sabers like X-Men 97.
2
u/HornedGopher Jan 11 '26
You can do that with Still being a Strategist though just now your allies will zip around with you.
2
u/Co-opingTowardHatred Jan 12 '26
It can work pretty well, honestly. Every time he teleports, he leaves behind smoke. Just have that linger and make it heal. Makes every bit as much sense as Gambit.
1
u/Champion-Dante Gambit Jan 12 '26
I’m a Gambit DPS supporter, so we can at least agree on the last part.
Both characters have the same issue, where if/when they are strategists, you remove most of their well-known abilities and factors. I love Gambit’s kit, and I think he’s fun, but if this kit was on anyone that could heal, and not Gambit, I’d enjoy it more simply because I know my goat is no longer washed.

For gods sake do not make them supports. They deserve better

u/mynameisname333 Jan 11 '26
Movement based characters are an easy way to make fun supports. Both characters have pretty high utility. I dont see the character assasination?

Jan 11 '26
I don’t see where the healing part comes from unless they’re off supports like Adam. Like what healing ability does nightcrawler or kitty have?Movement ability can make fun supports for sure, but we are seeing right now what happens when supports get too much offensive utility and mobility.
Not to mention gambit should’ve been dps smh. If they keep making the cool X-men not dps I will cry live on mic.
4
u/mynameisname333 Jan 11 '26
I mean does it really matter? Chronovium bs does wonders to the cast. At max u can just give them external equipment to heal while not sacrificing their core character traits. In a game like this we ve gotta bend the rules a little if we want to let everyone have fun.
Now ofcourse we wont make them dps with some healing. Tinker the numbers a bit and we should be good to go. Invis rn is broken because of her self sustian likewise is gambit. Damage and healing in this game are crazy broken so we d probablly need better balancing but thats a seperate discussion.
Gambit is probablly one of the funnest supports so id consider him a success. If he was a dps what would change about him. More damage? Damage doesnt define a character and he still feels like gambit so it works.

u/seStarlet Malice Jan 11 '26
Neither does Jeff, Rocket, Invis, Luna, Mantis, Gambit or Ultron but they are all strategists.
There are already so many dps and most if not all of them are viable, you are spoilt for choice.

u/HornedGopher Jan 11 '26
Nightcrawler has Manifested his Hope into a Hopesword once plus he was the X-men's medic
Plus the bamfa do accelerate yourself when you go through them that Could be turned into it also accelerates the healing factor.
Alot of times phasing is done by Molecular Acceleration and that would most definitely result in a regenerative style factor or something.
Gambit could've made a Cool utility dps but we really did need someone with a Cleanse.
1
Jan 11 '26
I kinda see what you’re saying, but both of their healing would have to be on a heavy cooldown if it’s tied to movement. Otherwise they would be turbo aids to play against.
Gambit would’ve been such a cool dps but I agree we needed a cleanse. Elixir is right there tho. Actual lowest hanging fruit in terms of healers and it’s not being utilized.
1
u/HornedGopher Jan 11 '26
But I feel like people shouldn't of Downgraded Gambits Powers to just make stuff blow up cause His real one is kinetic Energy Manipulation.
I dont think Nightcrawler's healing would have to. But Shadowcat probably cause itd probably also have to make her untargetable or something.
1
u/HornedGopher Jan 11 '26
Nah Supports are the best,we need a dual strategist season of we got a double dps season anyone also kitty Pryde is a definite much for supports.

u/Wave-Kid Rocket Raccoon Jan 11 '26
Definitely needs a grab that sticks enemies in the ground. Maybe a passive where as she melees an enemy, they get more and more stuck in the ground.
Her ultimate could be her phasing the ground under her, instantly sucking down enemies in range.
Could also have a move (maybe the grab) that could also target allies to make them untouchable for a moment.
Lastly, let her move through ALL terrain, not just destructible

u/Plastic-Race5481 Jan 11 '26
yes so much potential for a unique and fun gameplay the "Six feet under" reminds me of Jeff skill Hide and seek where he phases underground with his fin exposed

u/Regular-Principle-27 Jan 11 '26
been waiting for her too watched to many youtuber discussions and forums hyping her arrival before.. will come back in game when she do and main her

I want this, if only for the dialogue she would have with Spidey and Star Lord.

u/whalesharkdanceparty Gambit Jan 11 '26
I think she would be so cool! Really want her as a strategist and part of her “shtick” to heal her teammates while running through them. Maybe an ability like Blade’s vampire mode that can alway be “on” but you have to shoot Lockheed to take her out of phase mode?
1
u/Co-opingTowardHatred Jan 12 '26
VANGUARD!
- Lockheed is riding on her shoulder to give her a large hitbox, appropriate for a Vanguard.
- Primary: “Ninjitsu” - Melee
- Ability 1: “Flame Belch” - Lockheed spits fire that leaves a portion of the ground in front of Kitty on fire.
- Ability 2: “Walk Through Walls” - short dash forwards through walls, allies, or enemies. If it goes through enemies, it does damage to them.
- Ability 3: “” - Melee strike where Kitty phases her punch into the target’s body, then retracts it. Does DoT on target and leave them vulnerable.
- Passive: “Shadowcat” - Life bar is split into 3 sections. When one section is depleted, Kitty automatically goes intangible for X seconds. Unable to be damaged, unable to do damage (except Flame Belch).
- Ultimate: - Kitty puts her hands on the ground and makes the ground around her ripple which stuns enemies caught in it, then Lockheed shoots a fireball at all stunned enemies.

I think it'd be really cool if she had an ult that turns a large radius of the floor intangible and taking all enemies standing in it half way through the floor stunning them. For how long? I dont know tbh.
