However, since health is all Devil Dino has going for him, it seems like stopping at 220 will make him a complete joke. Anyone have any idea how large his health pool will be at 220?

Assuming health scales linearly (which I believe it does), a level 221 Devil Dino will have approximately 15,750 health. So still no shabby for defending against shield hopping, but not as effective as 19,180.

Wow, his is really useless. He could as well just have no third ability

Not entirely. It defends against shield hopping because it costs so little and animation takes so long. Shiled hoppers will ignore nodes because of his HP and his

Ok I got 4 purple covers and mucked around with it:

the pattern is



confirmed.

I just saved 9 and did it three times in a row, it did nothing, no matches, no cascade, nothing, go 5/5/3 for sure. It made me realize something about how awful his purple is

saving them all up does nothing, because after the first one you are swapping a for an existing where there is obviously no match ( the board is stable) so it is theoretically impossible to get a match out of more than 1 use.

Having more than 3 in purple is increasingly reduced chance of success because a for a in a stable board will never make a match (i.e. if he is 1 cover so swapping a black you would need to have the second and third tiles from the left on the top row to also be black OR the second and third tiles down in the first column) which is the only possible match outcomes. Because the the colors are mixed, lets try a 5 cover use of the ability...

get swapped to the top left. because of the rainbow going across the board in the rows you only have a match possibility for and being the last tiles in the row, where first row column 4 & 5 are also or . Then you have the columns possibility for each bottom color only. E.g. get a match out of rows 4 & 5 in column 1 being ,rows 4 & 5 in column 2 being ,rows 4 & 5 in column 3 being etc
Therefore with 3 covers you have 4 possible matches (one horizontal, 3 vertical), and with 5 covers you only have 5 possible matches (2 horizontal, same three vertical), definitely not worth two covers, unless you are trying to force the AI to use the green or red for a different character. I actually think his purple is a detriment if you have another on your roster, like a 4 star line up of it is so cheap the AI will always spam it on defense.

The only thing I don't know is the boards interaction with Team ups, or which tile is selected to be moved, it would be nice if it were the lowest possible version of that color, for those tiles that get buried on the bottom of the board so that you can dredge them out, but it is not, the animation takes them from different places each use.

Last minute addendum: this just happened with 3 covers. if you save 9 (3 uses) and can somehow have 2 horizontal match 4 below the top so you go ability, wipe a row (horizontally below), use the ability, wipe a row (horizontally below), use the ability you get this!:




which = 3 matches, 3 AP generation of each color, a nice big board hole and a crit tile

is there some strange synergy with She hulk here? lol

The real synergy is 1* hawkeye I guess BOP is coming right?

Because it's not just me that missed the top 100 in PVP and has pulled a succession of 2* Caps from the anniversary tokens, right?

Signed.

10+ tokens; nothing but Moonstone and Captain America 2*.
Last token I opened today finally pulled up a gold cover , (...) aaa---nd it turned out to be a 3* Thor. Way to crack-up my excitement, MPQ...

Also; I placed 102 on the Deadpool PvP event, missing Dino by a hair...
Yeah... the game just likes to totally take a piss on me.

Oh, the irony: "The uploader has not made this video available in your country."

I have had the opposite kind of glitch luck. I have 7!! purple and 1 green for DD. A 10 pack, and daily tokens.

Congratulations. Now please stop adding insult to injury?

You and me can star the "I have 5 purple for club."

I too am about to pull my 5th purple in the Anniversary progression awards. This will bring my mighty Barneysaurus to 0/2/5. I am wondering how I managed to get 7 covers of 13 for the new 4* character and he is 100% useless in that configuration. However I do enjoy the animation for his purple skill...

You can use Hood's yellow after collecting enemy special tiles to the top left I suppose but that also requires lots of luck.

I, too, think it's hilarious. It's a little dance to move the tiles! Hahaha, but yeah, the only reason for this power was to make him have 3 abilities. That way you can get Dino to 270! Looking at you whales! And I've already seen him at 270. Like a lot. He got to 270 before !!! so yeah, the power is a joke, but it's hilarious. I am all for it.

IamTheDanger

In a recent game I played with Dino, the top left corner of my board looked like this:





This is where Dino's purple power comes in handy.

Then again, how often will the tiles fall like this? And now, I can't even do that since I put a couple more covers on his purple power.
Oh well, at least it's fun to watch.

At level 5 it's basically 6 swaps though they're usually pretty bad location to swap, but compared to say Manipulation on Dr. Ocotopus it's not even that bad, or maybe that's just how bad Manipulation is. I guess you can compare it to Illusions, but Illusions is quite good for being Loki's only usable ability.

RIGHT?!?! It was nuts!

I know I'm only supposed to play to win and just doing something for fun is a complete waste of my time but I'm going to do it anyway.

At 5 purple, it only costs three. Cheapest board disruptor in the game - plus it's funny. That's win/win in my book.

You are not alone. I am planning on a 4/4/5 build.

So you didn't get a Barney.

I got sucked in by the richness of the packs on offer and ended up with 7 Barneys. Only got 1 green and one red cover to go with the 7 Barneys. Stupid Barneys.

I'm finding myself playing with his purple repeatedly in prologue for no other reason other than its animation greatly amuses me.
