Character Ability Poll

Punisher5784

Greetings everyone,

I started using this forum for the 'Character Rankings' and I understand that is still being worked on, but with so many characters only being good for specific things I thought it would be helpful to do a poll based on their abilities.

I created a survey on SurveyMonkey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2MRJTNF

Categories include:
Best Single-Target Damager
Best AOE Damager
Best Board Shaker
Best AP Stealer/Drainer
Best AP Generator (Non-Steal)
Best Strike Tile Character
Best Attack Tile Character
Best Defense Tile Character
Best Countdown Tile Character
Best Healer

This poll does not include 4* or 1* characters (with the exception of Juggernaut).

It's not perfect but if we get enough participants and positive feedback then maybe this is something we can continue.

I'll post the results next week and maybe even have a rewards ceremony. Thank you and enjoy.

Attention Moderators: I understand this may be more appropriate for 'Character Discussion' but we all know that a majority of the players go to 'General Discussion.' If possible, please leave this here so it can gain the maximum participation. Thank you for your work.

I'll be curious to see the results.
While some seem obviously popular, a wide response may show interesting opinions.

FYI - you have Blade's Strike/Attack tile power names swapped...

I can't help but feel the poll's missing something...

It's hard to rate these purely by category as most abilities do a couple things.
Was expecting to put Surgical Strike in for option 1. Further, part of the reason I like ambush is that you can hit people with it multiple times, assuming you're matching the tile -> thus multiple targets. For question 8, I put Steve Rogers, but for combination with his Blue, not just Sentinel of Liberty.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I did not include 4* characters in this survey. I revised my post. Thank you.

For Steve Rogers, I figured people would pick his blue more simply for the stun and not so much for the defensive tile so I did not include his blue.

Thanks for the feedback.

True but we may have some surprises.

Thank you. I made the changes. I did not realize there was so many abilities until you place them on a spreadsheet! haha

Hey everyone, so far out of 149 views, 40 players have participated in the survey. Not bad, I hope to get to 100 completed.

Thank you to everyone who has participated. Feel free to leave feedback in the comments

Good point! I added it. Thanks

Bagman, Bagsilver and Baglady should take the crown for all category. If not, I'll be a little surprised.

Voted!

Did I miss the link to the running results, or are you waiting til all the surveys are in to post them?

Done!

Just a comment - I'm worried that category 5, "Best AP Generator (Non-steal)" is probably going to yield some really wonky results. The answer differs, depending on whether you're talking about AP generation in general, or if you have a specific combo in mind. Tile colour conversion is generally always better than AP generation from tile destruction if you're comboing. If you're comboing, it then depends on who's on your roster whom you're planning on feeding the AP to.

Do you think Loki should be included for the countdown tile question? I'm not sure it would affect my vote, but it's a game-changing ability with countdown tiles...

Great idea, by the way. Thanks for doing this and I look forward to seeing the results.

Thank you. I am waiting for enough players to take the surveys then I will post the results.

Originally I had AP Generators and Stealers in one question then I decided to separate it, but I understand what you're saying. As of right now, Ironfist is at 41% which I was quite surprised about but maybe that's because I don't have that skill on my IF.

Ah you're right! I added Loki to the countdown question.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi

The link does not work for me. Is it still available though?

Yes the survey is still available. You can try using a different browser.

Participation has slowed down a bit compared to the amount of views. We currently have 84 players who completed the survey. We're almost to our 100 player goal. Again, thank you to everyone who has participated.

41% ? I'm surprised it's that low. While GSBW's Deceptive Tactics may be the best single shot skill if cost was no option, the fact that IFoKL is only 5 AP makes it way better than the rest; you can cast it twice compared to something like Thunder Storm.

Great, works fine now. Done!

Hello everyone,

The survey is now closed. Unfortunately I am using the free version of SurveyMonkey so I can only gather 100 participants. If anyone knows of better survey/poll website, I'd be happy to try it out for next time. I'll try to post the results soon.

Thank you for participating.
