Hawkeye

By himself alone, he is 4ER for 3 times 1-THW and 3 times 2-dmg (to minions), for a total of 3 THW and 6-dmg in 3 rounds

If we use another ally to thwart for the last arrow (or we improve him with S.H.I.E.L.D. Deputy or alike), his total raises to ~3-4 THW and 8-dmg in 4 rounds

If we use his last hit point to chump blocking the villain, we have 4ER for a total of ~2-3THW and 4-8dmg in ~3-4 rounds

His dependability of extra allies to hasten his arrow usagement impairs him, as his advantage in damage distribution is countered by its limitation to minions only; plus a slow tempo of ~2-3 rounds.

The only interesting thing is himself being both AVENGER and S.H.I.E.L.D., meaning he can get discounts from both Avengers Tower and Government Liaison (plus other small tribal benefits)


Is he still worth? I believe that, most of the times, he is not. But can have its niche.

Thor
  • Spectrum has been dethroned for Teamwork's based decks. Also Unified Strike which is the oposite but final effects are very similar.

  • Cost is too expensive or you need to tackle other urgent stuff first? tuck him under your Avengers Compound (your hero needs to be an avenger).

Other cards to benefit from his stats:

Down Time

Si tu heroe necesita o aprovecha el irse a alter ego esta es una carta obligada en tu mazo, en la mayoría de las ocasiones te devolverá la mitad de vida al curarte por un coste muy bajo. Si además tu heroe es bueno preparándose es aún más obligada para irte a curarte y volevr después como heroe o hacer una recuperación milagrosa curándote dos veces.

White Fox

Aliado obligado en cualquier de descarte como Domio o Adam Warlock, así como aquellos que puedan controlar el top para colocarla allí y luego descartarla como Starlord o Magik. Si además tienes la capacidad de recolocar cartas del descarte whitefox es siempre una apuesta segura, por lo que muy pocas veces pagarás su coste ( cosa que no deberías hacer salvo urgencias).

Gilgamesh

Based on the wording it seems like the additional cost for this card does not apply when using "put into play" effects. For Solo players you probably would only use this card via Make the Call Call for Backup etc.... to bypass the confuse status. For multiplayer games the confuse status really isn't a problem as long as you aren't the dedicated thwarter. The total stats here make Gilgamesh better than most hero cards in terms of total damage/resource and on par with Crisis Averted for thwarting. One of the more notable possibilities with Gilgamesh is Noble Sacrifice. The printed HP total is so high you could burn through several activations and then recoup 6 HP and a tough status.
