I think most of us who waited for the last day to enter the first sub are doing it again this sub. So that 10K lead should evaporate rather quickly once people start playing again

For example Thor's Thunder Strike converts up to 9 basic tiles to yellow and does not disarm the trap, but Magneto's Magnetic Field which converts 2 tiles to blue protect tile will disarm a trap if put directly over a trap. From what I can tell, changing the special status of a tile disarms it, e.g. trap to strike (Daken), or trap to protect (Magneto), but changing the color of the trap does not remove it. So, going by that logic, the web tile changes the color and its special status (to web) which should disarm the trap.

The special status that Phantron mentioned is generally the rule, but there is one exception I've found: Oasis destroys traps instead of color-changing them like Thor's powers, Hulk's Anger, etc.

Thanks for the info! I feel safe now with this knowledge against Bagdevil.

I've seen this said a lot and I just disagree. Maybe you are in a hardcore grinder bracket but Sumilea can back me up on what I'm saying here...the last pve before the heroics (iso8 brotherhood I think) we were both top 10 going into the last 12 hours or so, and just doing the optimal clear once every 3 hours strategy I maintained that rating. I could have done nothing at the very end and stayed easily top 100 and probably top 50. I know this because only like 3 matches put me back into top 10 with 45 minutes to go. My point is, if you play optimally beforehand, you absolutely can miss the last 5 hours and still top 100.
