What was your worst first turn AI move?

MarvelMan

I shielded last night around 930 as it felt like the horde was approaching. Woke up this morning to some very nice victories that got me to about 970, so I figured Id shield hop up to 1k as I needed another shield to last through the end. Found a nice Hood/Sentry/Hulk (none maxed) team worth 36 points, loaded up a couple boosts (3x b/p, 3x crit) and made a run at him. I made a blue match....and on the first AI turn took a World Rupture to the face. ****? I was lucky there was a decent amount of blue for my C.Mag and I managed to pull enough purple to translocate Sentry down.

So, what was the worst power you got hit with before AI would have been able to get the necessary AP?


(and why cant they get this fixed?)

I have still yet to experience this.

I just watched Electro's Daken basically kill my Patch on the first turn. I made a green match and generated some strike tiles, no biggy. The AI then ripped me a new one with the cascade to end all cascades, green match after green match after critical yellow match. No powers (other than Pheromone Rage) and Patch ate the best part of 6K damage on the first turn.

Daken ended up with about 8-10 strike tiles out and a stockpile of 12 green, 18 yellow and handful of the others. I ran away

I got hit with a back to back LThor Call the Storm after the AI's first match. They had 3 green but got two CtS out of it??

No they didn't. Just stop with this.

While this **** has been happening forever with normal abilities, the worst was getting hit with a supernova and world rupture TU from an all 2* team I should have pummeled. Why does the ai not need the required ap half the time?

I had a lowly obw ares hood team get off two aggressive recons in the first 4 turns while ares killed my 140 patch, not first turn but dang that was a rudely brutal match on the AI's part

woopie

Aside from massive cascades, I haven't been too unlucky early on. What bothers me the most is when I'm about to pull out a close victory and a team up that shouldn't be allowed (Laken TU when Laken was on the enemy team) took out my last guy.

Now given I am a 3* transition player, when the AI got a huge cascade that gave them 15 Green with a 2* Thor on their team. Then a **** ton of yellow too. Getting hit with double Call of the Storm is really no fun.

Headbutt.

AI had 0 AP in all colors because they hadn't made a match yet. It was a two step process: Step 1 - My turn. Step 2 - Headbutt.

1) Any goons to generate AP?

2) Sometimes I think people have a turn where they accidentally swipe a tile and fail to notice that they've done that, and are then all 'how did the AI do that?". Last night I know I accidentally did that (costing me a health pack, as I could have nuked out the AI that turn and instead accidentally handed back control and let them nuke me).

I can't recall in like 9 months playing this game seeing the things people claim to see with the AI casting abilities out of nowhere, and so I just can't help but think it's like people insisting the car accelerated by itself and they didn't touch the accelerator at all.

I know you're talking about abilities, but I had the AI form a cascade on the first turn the other night that took out all 6800 HP of my Psylocke.

I've never seen anything like this from the AI.

But I have won a match without letting the AI have a turn, unboosted. Multiple 5-matches on the board, and using the crit tile to make more 5 matches.

With or without Magneto? I had a game like that against a normal Versus opponent when fielding Magneto...

It was last week or so, pretty sure it was with Daken/Patch. I remember it was a ton of green/blue into Berserk and multiple Chem Reactions. And lots of red strike tiles along the way of course.

Definitely done it with CMags, enough that I would call it semi-regularly. If there's a match-5 blue on the starting board it's basically game over. But I had one today in PvE against 140ish enemies where I won on turn one without using a single power. Just match-5 after match-5 with cascades until everyone was dead. Nutty. LDaken was on my team for sure, but I don't remember if I was using the boosted GSBW. I think not, but I'm not entirely sure. Regardless, it was interesting to say the least.

I've had this happen to me quite a few times as well, although in my case it usually happens on turn 2 or 4 of the game BEFORE they collected any TU tiles... I know this coz i've been keeping an eye on enemy TU tiles and all of a sudden they will double drop a TU power and almost always kill 1-2 characters if its a strong TU like BP rage or Lazy Thor CoTS

No goons. And I'm positive.

It's only happened the once, so whatever is causing it is very rare. I totally get the skepticism. If it hadn't happened to me, I'm not sure I'd believe it either.
