Upcoming Test: Powered-Up Characters in Versus

Unknown

Hey All,

Miles from Demiurge here to announce a Versus experiment that we’re going to be trying soon.

In an effort to mix up our Versus events and encourage more team variety,we’re going to be trying out a couple of changes to our Powered-Up character structure.

For a long time, the prevailing strategy in Versus events has been “Bring the same two characters I always bring and whoever I’m forced to team up with.” We’re hoping to breathe a little more excitement and variety into Versus.


First off, we’re increasing the buff for 3-star featured characters. This should make them a more powerful and useful part of your team. Previously we multiplied this character’s level by 1.5, but the new system will make them scale up to a level range of 70 to 290. (In the case of a 4-star featured character, they’ll scale up to a range of 100 to 350, less than before, in order to make sure the other characters on your team are still relevant.)

Second, we’re adding in a group of Powered-Up characters that will be buffed over multiple events. The intent is that this group of Powered-Up characters will rotate each week, but for this test we’re only going to try one week’s worth of events.

This group of Powered-Up characters will include:
2 x 4-Star characters who will scale up to a level range of 75 to 330
5 x 3-Star characters who will scale up to a level range of 45 to 280
2 x 2-Star characters who will scale up to a level range of 20 to 170
2 x 1-Star characters who will scale up to a level range of 5 to 100

You’ll notice that these buffs basically bump these characters up one rarity tier (bringing a maxed 2-Star to roughly the level of a maxed 3-Star, etc.).

We’ll be starting this test with the Human Torch Versus event that’s scheduled to start this Sunday (3/22/15), and continuing it through the next two Versus events.
