As you can see, there are a lot of cool new stuff out there, but the most important news is obviously the introduction of new heroes which will certainly have a big impact on the game itself.
Heimdall is an Asgardian fighter immune to the blind and will make his Asgardian allies immune to the blind. Apart from that, he can suppress Heal Block The Asgardian allies and reveal any invisible enemies on the battlefield. Heimdall's damage is mediocre, but he really shines in Alliance War Defense where he can upgrade his Asgardian allies with Defense Up for 2 turns at the start of combat.
Sif is an Asgardian protector who relies on high armor, block chance, and a high block amount. She starts the battle with Deflect and Defense Up, and when she taunts, she receives up to 3 pawns. It looks like she'll be very tough considering that she'll block early attacks while under Defense Up, but her HP Bar isn't very huge and she doesn't have any protection against debuffs. On the other hand, her damage output is correct and constant, which will be very useful against already wounded enemies who will be forced to attack her while she has Counters on herself.
Black Bolt is an inhuman blaster whose sole purpose is to counter Ultron's skills. Obviously, he's more than that, but his skill set hinges on one idea: ending Ultron's Rule. His damage is incredibly low, just behind Dark Phoenix, and enemies he has killed cannot be revived, which is especially effective against Minn-Erva, Ultron, and Scientist Supreme. On top of that, it automatically applies Disrupt and eliminates up to 3 positive effects on a target that summons The Minions. This practically means that Ultron will not receive buffs from his summons, so he will not have the energy of the ability and he will not be able to use his special skills and ultimate at any time (CD for Special Ultron is 7 turns and CD for the ultimate of 8 turns). Additionally, Black Bolt will automatically attack any target whose health drops below 25% and deal 200% damage. Black Bolt is a legendary character who will need 5 5-star Asgardians (this information is not yet officially confirmed) for his Legendary event.
Yo-Yo is a powerful inhuman protector whose presence on the battlefield will be terrifying to anyone who opposes her. Unlike other protectors, her health bar is mediocre at best, she has no impenetrable armor or high block chance, she cannot taunt but she is very fast (140 Speed). She can dodge like Spider-Man or Vision and anyone who attacks her and her allies will be under the effect of Offense Down for the duration of the battle. Additionally, Yo-Yo applies High Defense on all Inhuman allies and allied SHIELD non-minions at the start of combat and when their HP drops below 50% and she has a chance to apply Evade at the same time. I'm still not sure I fully understood the description of his passive skill, but the descriptions say that the Yo-Yo will apply the downensive offensive and each enemy will turn around until there is no damage. another Protector in his team. I have to say that this ability is one of the most powerful in the game, as it indicates that the damage of the entire enemy team will be halved during the entire battle. Incredible, isn't it!
In my opinion, the Asgardians will not be able to deal with other predefined teams in the game except in Alliance War Defense where they will be upgraded. Even then, they will only be strong against Brotherhood The Mutants because of Heimdall's liabilities, but I'm not sure that will be enough for anyone to decide to invest in them. However, if the rumors are true and they are needed for Black Bolt, everyone will have them strong enough and you will have to spend The res
