Wouldn't it be crazy if any of these characters show up in the game?

IceIX, if you ever publish Mojo, you need to give all the covers and Iso to max that tinykitty through the roof.

Had some ideas for Deadpool involving countdown tiles that would revive him unless you destroyed them/they keep showing up until you kill the team.
Also had an idea involving Gambit with an ability similar to Loki's Trickery. Except Gambit destroys multiple random 2x2 blocks.
Was trying to think of something involving Blade but I don't know if he would fit with the game.

Unknown

Despite being 4/3* they both sound quite overpowred with low ap cost, especially spidermans green.

Unknown

Oh well, here goes:

She was not in Dark Reign really, but she was in bridge story from end of Siege to start of Marcel Now!

Amora
Star Rating: ***
Health: Medium
Crit multiplier: 3X


Death-Song of a Goddess
Green 11 AP
Level 1 -- Does a lot of AOE damage to enemy team, ends turn and stuns herself for 1 turn (meaning she cant act next turn)
Level 2 -- Reduce AP cost by 1 (so now 10 AP)
Level 3 -- Reduce AP cost by 1 (so now 9 AP)
Level 4 -- No longer stuns herself
Level 5 -- No longer ends turn.

I was originally going for turn ending at level 4 and stun at 5, but I think turn ending is usually more powerful. Name is actually something she used in comics and it was rather spectacular aoe damage there too.

Healing Kiss
Yellow 11 AP
Level 1 -- Heals team for some amount. Each green gem on board adds to the power of the heal.
Level 2 -- reduces cost by 1 AP (so now 10 AP)
Level 3 -- Increases effect of green gems
Level 4 -- reduces cost by 1 AP (so now 9 AP)
Level 5 -- Purifies the team removing any debuffs on them.

I am unsure if that 5th is doable, but I suppose could do simple increase effect of green gems again. It is kinda weaker and more situational 5th. If possible maybe make it to useable to remove those extra 20% damage on special targets - for example 20% more damage to avengers, the 10% more damage overall would not be affected as would not the color specific boosts. I originally thought it as just removing stuns, but it kinda helps to more broader.


Now this is probably not doable, but I just want to put it in anyways as it is so fitting in my opinion:

Charming Kiss
Purple 14 AP
Level 1 -- Charms the target for 1 turn. Gain access to target abilities and can use them using your own team AP of course. Also target takes next turn damage from enemy team
Level 2 -- reduces cost by 1 AP (so now 13 AP)
Level 3 -- reduces cost by 1 AP (so now 12 AP)
Level 4 -- after charm ends still stunned for 1 turns.
Level 5 -- after charm ends still stunned for 2 turns.

Deadpool (Dark Reign I guess)

Star Rating: ***
Health: Medium
Tile Affinity: Red > Black > Yellow
Crit Multiplier: 5

[Red] Let's Dance - 12ap
Deadpool is sick of the team-ups. He draws his twin pistols and shoots any non-targeted enemies, reducing their health by 40% and damaging any allies by 25% of their own health.
Lvl2: Increase ally damage to 50% Costs 9ap.
Lvl3: Increase enemy damage to 60%, ally damage to 100% Costs 6ap.
Lvl4: Increase enemy damage to 80%. Costs 9ap.
Lvl5: Increase enemy damage to 100%. Costs 12ap.

[Black] Passive Loneliness - Passive
Wade wants to get in on the passive shtick. Any time a passive is triggered by the enemy team Wade converts a tile of a basic color to a strike tile of value x.
Lvl2: Also converts a tile of a basic color to a protect tile of value .5x.
Lvl3: Also converts a tile of basic color to a 3 turn countdown tile (when the timer runs out one ap of that color is gained).
Lvl4: Also increases any enemy countdown timers by 2.
Lvl5: Also converts a tile of basic color to an attack tile of value x.

[Yellow] The Voices - Passive
The voices inside Deadpool's head can't make up their mind. If there are more than 10 yellow tiles on the board there is a 50% chance that Wade will either (with equal probability) heal for x or teleport his team to safety completely avoiding any damage done that turn.
Lvl2: Increase to 75% chance.
Lvl3: Lower required yellow tiles to 7.
Lvl4: Wade also damages the current target by 2x.
Lvl5: Wade damages the entire enemy team by x.

The ap cost on Let's Dance is higher because I was trying to avoid the situation of going in with two lvl1 teammates and boosts to immediately kill off the two strongest enemies on the first turn. His black passive only takes in to account the enemy team so it wouldn't trigger for his yellow passive.

I should say I rarely if ever use boosts (mainly for horrible pve battles) so I know most powers I post on here aren't balanced when you include the use of boosts.

Unknown

I know we all think deadpool is the ultimate character, but both writeups on him so far are hugely overpowered...especially "Let's Dance". No ability should be able to kill 2 characters outright even on a 5* character.

I think theoretical characters tend to be overpowered because they are a wish list of what you want to use. Still, I'm not sure what is overpowered on mine, except maybe regenerate, which is just kinda clunky. Maybe it should regenerate 50% of total health? That might make more sense.

I'm unclear on the triggering of Super Really Awesome Pheremone Rage. Is it once a turn where there are tiles of that type on the board? It too confusing. I think it should be for every green, red, yellow, purple, blue, or environmental match made. Also, I'm sick of having all the red tiles saturated, so why doesn't it just make one strike tile of any color?

TheVulture

LOL indeed - some creative posts here.

I really like Mojo being such a jerk that his passive just sucks the momentum out of everyone equally; he'd be so nifty in an attention-deficit team, where if he's not being entertained by a Thunderclap or Feral Claws right this minute he's scuppering everyone's moves.

- - - - - - - -

I had a flash of inspiration at lunch-time today, and while this pair didn't feature in Dark Reign I'd LOVE to see similar powers for-real to shake up the meta.

Mark I Sentinel (Days of Future Past)

Star Rating: 1
Health: Ultra (Juggernaut)
Tile Affinity: Purple > Red > Blue

[Red] HIS WILL BE DONE - 6 AP
The Sentinel unleashes energy blasts against it's target. Deals nnn damage.
Level 2: Costs 1 AP less.
Level 3: Costs 1 AP less.
Level 4: Costs 1 AP less.
Level 5: Deals 50% more damage if target is stunned.

[Purple] TARGETS IDENTIFIED - Passive
The Sentinel constantly scans it's surrounding for super-powered targets. When an enemy activates a power, stun that enemy for 1 turn.
Level 2: When this power is triggered, there is a 10% chance that the enemy is targeted by HIS WILL BE DONE.
Level 3: When this power is triggered, there is a 25% chance that the enemy is targeted by HIS WILL BE DONE.
Level 4: When this power is triggered, there is a 40% chance that the enemy is targeted by HIS WILL BE DONE.
Level 5: When an enemy's passive power is triggered, there is a 25% chance that the enemy is targeted by HIS WILL BE DONE.
(N.B. I'm considering passive powers to "trigger" and AP powers to be "activated" - only AP powers trigger this, therefore.)

It would be a great twist to throw in some powers that punish/obstruct the spammable powers that dominate the meta currently - Thunderclap, All Tied Up, Magnetic Field, etc. - and I think Sentinels would be qualified for the job.
The 'ultra' level health is for 3 reasons 1] I want Sentinel to be a tenacious nuisance and 2] available to everyone but 3] not a powerhouse - the idea is to slow rapid-attack strategies and make Sentinel a damage sponge (should be the first target for such teams), not to make it capable of actually taking the opposition out.
"HIS WILL BE DONE" - Would be an utterly mediocre 1* attack only; whittles away foes for a few hundred points, not a new Thunderclap.
"TARGETS IDENTIFIED" - This is my vision for a spamming counter; stop the particular character from taking any more action that turn, but don't disable the opponent overall.
(I originally had levels 2-4 granting 1 > 2 > 3 Red AP, but that was just inviting Thunderclap-mania!)

Nimrod (Days of Future Past)

Star Rating: 2
Health: Ultra
Tile Affinity: Purple > Red > Blue

[Red] Adaptive Arsenal - 9 AP
The shape-shifting android Nimrod is capable of adapting his armaments to any & all opposition. Deals nnn damage to all enemies.
Level 2: Deals 25% more damage to stunned enemies.
Level 3: Deals 50% more damage to stunned enemies.
Level 4: Deals 75% more damage to stunned enemies.
Level 5: Deals 100% more damage to stunned enemies.

[Blue] Temporal Pursuit - 18 AP (or maybe less)
Such is Nimrod's dedication to his goal, it will pursue it's targets across time itself and neutralize opposition pre-emptively. Stun each enemy for 1 turn for each power they have sufficient AP to activate.
Level 2: Costs 1 AP less.
Level 3: Costs 1 AP less.
Level 4: Costs 1 AP less.
Level 5: Enemies are stunned for 1 turn for each passive power they possess.

[Purple] Advanced Sentinel - Passive
Nimrod is the most advanced Sentinel ever created, and as such is a truly implacable foe. When an enemy activates a power, stun that enemy for 1 turn.
Level 2: When this power is triggered, there is a 10% chance that Nimrod's Adaptive Arsenal is unleashed.
Level 3: When this power is triggered, there is a 25% chance that Nimrod's Adaptive Arsenal is unleashed.
Level 4: When this power is triggered, there is a 40% chance that Nimrod's Adaptive Arsenal is unleashed.
Level 5: When an enemy's passive power is triggered, there is a 25% chance that Nimrod's Adaptive Arsenal is unleashed.

Nimrod is of course the uber-Sentinel, but I lean towards 2* with ultra-health over 3* with high - just to reign his offensive power in.
"Adaptive Arsenal" - Again completely mediocre, on par with HIS WILL BE DONE but vs all enemies and benefiting from the higher level-cap.
"Temporal Pursuit" - This is Nimrod's key twist; suppress the enemy but, if they hold on to AP for too long, eventually take advantage by locking down their whole team for free moves.
"Advanced Sentinel" - I rejected various AP powers (impractical to create tiles on opponent's turn), and settled on a similar ability to the Sentinels from which Nimrod originated.

Important N.B.: Stuns aren't cumulative, so pairing Sentinel and Nimrod together doesn't double stuns - it just gives 2 chances of activating retaliatory powers.

IceIX (****)

Blue: Moderate (8 AP)

removes all enemy strike tiles from the board, and does 25 damage per strike tile. if there are more than 8 strike tiles owned by any single enemy character, down that character. if there are no strike tiles, stun the next character that attacks his team for 3 turns.

3: Costs 1 AP less.
4: Strike tiles required to down character reduced to 6.
5: Characters downed due to excess of strike tiles are unable to participate in the next fight.

2: Costs 1 AP less.
3: Costs 1 AP less.
4: reduces stun To 1 turn. Heal after one turn.

(keep in mind that he is a four star)

Unknown

The third would have to be:

Purple : Dev mode hacks (5 AP)

Max AP +1

2: +1 AP max
3: +1 AP max
4: +2 AP max
5: +3 AP max
