Marvel Avengers Alliance: Best Team PvP Season 20. Guide for best characters for PvP. Review The Destroyer

 


The Destroyer


Well its not really much I can say about The Destroyer just like its comic version its game version is really boring and that is what I expected by far as well. Just a straight on attack character with no interesting abilities. Well its not Playdom's fault, I mean what could they do, the game character is just like the comic and movie version its just an super strong super tanky machine that is relentless to kill its target. It does not really open up for an interesting gameplay. 

SO game wise, only thing it can do is damage. A pure damage machine but The Destroyer is a pretty good character actually. Sure very limited, it literally only do damage it has 1 debuff..really it has a stun with a low chance, well its ultimate has the melt down debuff were the opponents defense stats is not accounted for anymore when they are attacked. SO yeah pure damage.

Its not much to say or analyze about the gameplay The Destroyer has or its potential etc. It does work fine in defense as its so straight forward.
 It has very, very good passive. Probably the best defensive passive in the game, by far really. And it do counters Emma which is the AI's biggest issue. A good defense character for sure.

He feels very similar to the Juggernaut, I guess in both character wise in the stories when you think about it and here now he got the same passive as Juggernaut pretty much exactly the same where he gains stamina each turn. He gets this passive buff by each attack he has and it restores stamina stacks to 3 just like Juggernaut.

Really,..... one way to jut very simple understand how good Destroyer is and how boring he is. Is that he just plainly a much better Juggernaut. He don't have the melee synergy but otherwise he is just exactly the same character but with a lot better passive that covers more stuff and more damage. 
 Just like Juggernaut its immune to stun, immobilized and as mentioned Psychic attacks. (Note exactly like Juggernaut just more stuff)
 Hes also immune to all bio attacks, burning,poisoned(which actually is not the same as a bio attack in the game),  bleeding all fear, delirium, morale etc.

Just a better Juggernaut. Then he really has no abilities he just does weak aoe damage with he ultimate or pretty weak single attacks with his first or second ability. They do have a small synergy as one of them have a stun exploit and the otehr one can stun.

Then comes his third ability, which makes him consume all his stacks to get one turn per stack, it  can also heal him and shit. But clearly the other 2 options then gaining more turn is utter crap and even with low hp there is always pretty much better to get more turns and just kill the opponent then healing. Thats how pvp works, while is stated as a multi-functional ability its really just 1 ability. Turns = X number of stacks (max 3)

And then he can combo synergy with himself in one turn,. do the second attack to give stun and then attack with the first attack to deal extra damage. This is pretty much the only hitting he ever does. You start with the AoE for the most part and turn 2 is worth using the extra turns(will only get 2 but the actual gaining the buff is a Quick action so its a total of 3 turns and with them you can kill 1 character. 
 Then he got a whopping 4 turns of Cooldown on the self buff so he is almost completely worthless after killing 1 guy. 

So again then he is exactly like Juggernaut build up stacks, use them to deal high damage be useless for a few turns but hard to kill/stop.

In the perspective of comparing him to for example Juggernaut he is a lot better. But he is a horrible Molly. Molly does the same thing pretty much. Wait 1 turn to unless your abilities, be stun immune so it will happen, the opponent cant stop it but she deals like 10x his damage. 
 Sure they are actually a pretty good team together in defense but, the Destroyer really just feels like a buffed Juggernaut and its so much better characters then the concept of pure damage. 
 Because its other characters who do better pure damage like Molly, but also Iron Patriot etc.


2/10 Design wise, 7/10 pvp wise. I really cant say that the design does not fit The Juggernaut Destroyer, its still clearly just a rework of the Juggernaut and  that is just so lazy.
