Nice little Synergy surprise from the new update

Shadowstrike

All five of the original Guardians of the Galaxy now have team synergies with each other. Long overdue but I'm finally glad to have it.

I hope this could be the start of adding some other well-known team synergies into the game like the full Sinister Six, full Avengers and even the Defenders.

Full Sinister 6 synergy team might be a tad difficult to achieve.

True but kind of like what they're doing now with Mantis, you can make it interchangeable so that way as long as you have any five members of this team, they get a nice little bonus for being a #Sinister Six

This is an awesome synergy, I like it.

Groot and Drax buff?

Yeah. This is pretty cool. Not that it will necessarily make any of them gamebreaking (though Starlord, Gamora, and Rocket may be more fun to play), but this is a nice damage buff for the team. Now I'll be more likely to play the "Guardian Usage" event. Hopefully this still means some of the non-buffed Guardians will be getting one in 2023.

Agreed that it isn't a game breaking Synergy but it's definitely nice to see a little more power in their punches and hopefully it is a sign that they'll be at least a couple more Guardian Buffs on the docket next year

Just tried it with my R1 Groot, 534 hits on ROL WS.

R1 Groot with dead NF, King Groot, Odin & Wags pre fight, 480 hits.

So still OP, and have to be nerfed 👻

Add mantis to the team would be interesting.

...and yet Nebula and Yondu still don't have #Guardian tags despite their synergy with Mantis.

It's because they're technically classified as Mercenaries going off of how the relationships were in the first film

Excellent! Thanks for pointing this out—there have been some folks asking for this for a seemingly long time so this is a welcome change.

Since it's a unique synergy on each does it stack? If so that's a pretty solid boost.

Words cannot express how desperately I want this to happen — I understand that the Battlerealm is its own reality, but at the same time, these kinds of synergies are really nice nods to the lore that made some of us care in the first place

I have been critical of the concept of Synergies being used to make a character “good.” But I have always loved the FF synergies and the Heralds

There would be team synergies for the original X-Men, the All-New/All-Different era of X-Men,
the Avengers, the Defenders, and even the Invaders, as well as the Sinister Six, if I had my way

It is not a unique synergy, so it does stack.

A 35% attack boost ain't so bad.

And then that changed. Why not have both tags?

I don't know what to tell you. I'm just relaying the logic that they used when they were first introduced.

I hear ya. I'm just venting my frustration is all.
