I just got smoked on a single cascade that wiped out my lvl 80 BWO, 85 Wolvie, and a boosted 55 Ares in one swoop, seriously? How can game developers allow something like that, and it was against a lvl 85 BWO, 85 Wolvie, and 40 Ares

    Random really, really bad luck.

    Wish it had been me, just to watch. Well, wish I had DONE it. =)

    Hmm, a tournament with all gods who are boosted? Maybe you should enjoy the ride, this isnt meant to be reasonable. Cascades are random, if it would bave been your lucky cascade you would be cheering.

    The divine champions didn't smile on you.

    Sorry, I'm surprised that could actually happen with diminishing results on cascade matches. It was one cascade and not one turn? I've gotten stuck with the AI keeping me from taking turns as my life slowly dwindled away. Either way, it's one match. You've gotta just shake it off. That said, I'd probably quit playing for a day or so if that happened to me.

    I personally wouldn't be cheering. It's not like I would have earned that victory.
  • I've played this sort of game for years and yes I have been on both sides and it sucks when it happens against you, but it's friggin awesome when it happens for you..
  • Well, it just happens once in a while. IME friendly cascades are way more frequent.

    Things like this are the reason I have an otterbox on my phone. So it can survive being hurled across my living room. icon_twisted.gif

    Well, I guess one turn is more like it, it's a cascade to me. they cleared 3 red, which cleared some others as they "randomly" fell down, then bam, 5 match, another turn, they clear the crit tile, BW dead, some more cascading, bam, another turn due to a 5 tile match, which when cleared, instantly led to a third 5 tile match, both the crit tiles fell in killing Ares, then the computer went and Sundered, me and then Ares Green for even more damage. plus they still had their turn icon_e_sad.gif

    Yea, I've had those. I played a Modern Storm, Venom and modern BW in the forest once. I thought it would be an easy win. They managed to get a thorned rose, and I didn't take another turn. My phone timed out twice because it took them so long to get my health down, but I was pinned down for the rest of the match. I was actually fascinated by it, but I could see it being really frustrating for someone else.
  • I got a starting board about an hour ago in the Divine Champions tournament that had 2 separate match 5s on it. I matched one, then the other. That set me up for another match 5. I did that one, then finally cleared the last critical tile that hadn't already matched. That was the end of the game at that point. 4 moves on my part, 3 dead high level enemies. I feel kind of bad for whoever that was, they never got a chance to move.

    Shhhh! They'll nerf us all if they hear you! icon_cry.gif
  • But each cascade do less damage,

    my 2 cents are that the board was plagued with the enemies strikes tiles and OBW black trigger like no tomorrow , i don't think that her black suffer from the matching reduction.

    Also OBW crits hurts alot.

    Interesting. They removed strike tiles trigering for each cascade match a while ago. (Some complained about it being a Wolverine nerf) However, if the strike tiles go off for every black, blue, or purple match she makes in a cascade, then I see her value now. Is that how she works?

    Hmm, I though Strike tile damage applies to cascades. At least this is what would make sense since the cascades are comprised of continuous hero attacks. If they don't apply then it would be quite confusing and nonsensical.

    Previously it was damage*diminishing return + strike tiles, now it's (damage+strike tiles)*diminishing return

    Thanks, I guess my wording was a little misleading.
  • Whenever I use 2-star Magneto, Dr. Doom, and Bullseye in the Forest I'm able to do some crazy things to make the whole board explode in wild cascades, one after another. The numbers that represent damage float from the board and zing to the opponent taking the damage. Occasionally I will see numbers in the tens of thousands zinging to the opponent. My opponent isn't taking that much damage. I'm certain it's a bug.
