Many people compare Jubilee to Gambit, usually in a manner unfavorable to
Jubilee; however, Jubilee is much closer to Cyclops than to Gambit. The
resemblance to Everyone's Favorite Cajun(tm) is superficial in that their
ranged attacks are somewhat similar and both can charge and throw objects;
however, Jubilee gets Accuracy and Point Blank Shot, which means her ranged
attack is actually far more effective.
Also, Jubilee's buffing power raises teammates' Strike and Agility, just
like Cyclops, with the added bonus of decreasing the damage done by your
opponents. The only problem--and the reason Jubilee doesn't make it on a
lot of teams--is she offers nothing else. She has no other supporting
powers or skills: she can't build bridges, or fly, or weld metal or add a
Leadership bonus to combos. The result...you usually end up using Cyclops
or Storm rather than Jubilee.
Which is a shame, really. With a few levels of Photo Flash, Jubilee can be
very effective at crowd control. You can buff your teammates, confuse your
enemies and then sit back and throw energy bursts while your accompanying
tanks cut them to pieces. OK, this won't be that effective against boss
characters; but, for most of the game your primary concern is being mobbed
by too many bad guys and Jubilee is a great help here.
Max out Energy Burst and Bait, buy her Xtreme Power and level up Accuracy
and Point Blank Shot. Keep Focus high; and a point or two of Mutant Mastery
wouldn't hurt. Don't worry with Critical Strike, and only buy a level of
Toughness if you're having a hard time keeping her alive. Level up Photo
Flash, but don't buy any levels of Strobe Flash--your goal is to confuse
mobs, not convert them. If you have some points left over, level up
Detonate for some grenade-throwing fun.
