    icon_carnage.pngredflag.png as the 1,000 point progression reward? "Slice and Dice" is probably putting it mildly. Just sayin' strike.pngicon_rolleyes.gifenemystrike.png

    Luckily almost noone has their carnage covers so it's just 2 vs 2 matches all the way up. Any high-leveled carnages are auto skips for me.

    Since we can now pick which loaner we want, I wonder which is the best choice. I think I'll pick the red one. Black might be more annoying on defense, and it's not going to waste any AP that could be used by your fully covered characters.

    Climbed a little because I want the 800 progression and don't care that much about placement... Loaner carnage black is so annoying. Like the most annoying loaner power possible. Well, until you decide to play SW and SG and do 6000 damage for 9 purple.

    Is anyone else seeing matchups where the opponent's Carnage is showing 2 colors, yet they have no Carnage on their roster?

    Is carnage's black supposed to be firing after kamala's yellow? Because it is.

    Yes kk fires yellow when an ally fires a power. Carnage fires black whenever anyone, ally, enemy, team up, are fires a power.

    But on a passive? I don't recall it firing on Falcon's passive when I tried him in PvE

    Is it firing twice though?.. once for the ability that set off Bring out the best, then a 2nd time for Bring out the Best?

    did both teams have Carnage black? that would explain it firing twice.

    It is bugged though in some instances. ive had it fire on its own at the start of every AI turn on more than one occasion

    Just had this hilarious bug scenario in my head.. , fire cheap ability..BOtB fires, enemy Carnage Fires, Friendly Carnage Fires, BOtB fires.. over and over and over and over

    noone gets to move... just bugged passives going against each other for an hour until KK gives up and just deletes herself from the app.

    That title could well be trademarked by Marvel.

    I don't know what it is, but in this event in particular, the AI is just INSANELY lucky. Oh hey, the AI is using 2* Hawkeye. BAM! 5 tile match first move. I wish I could say this is isolated, but most of my matches have had something of that caliber. I've pulled out wins, but just barely. I basically have to sacrifice two of my roster per match. I realize it's just bad luck, but it's a really conspicuous string of bad luck on this.

    As if I didn't hate the Carnage character design enough as it is...

    I'm seeing the same thing. I posted about my team-up experience in general discussion. Just when I'm about to kill the last enemy -- max Hulkbuster, Fastball Special fires, HB lands, casts overdrive, then casts repulsor blast, moves, gets attack tiles (now super-powered because of the overdrive attack tiles), and my max-Carnage goes from 13k to 0 in one turn.

    In another match, with Prof X, GSBW, and loaner Carnage, I can't get any purple. The ones that appear all seem to cascade into match-4s and 5s for the AI. Soon GSBW is dead without firing off a single power. So I go invisible, only to have my invisibility tile disappear for no reason, leaving Prof X exposed. (Not good when AI's Carnage tiles are doing 1k every turn.) Then I hit the AI's demolition team-up.

    I had one earlier where I had a Cap Red shield team up out. There was 1 red tile next to it, but nothing in the 3rd row at all. AI gets a match 4 in that 3rd row. HA! No red in that lineup either, but there was another match 4 which dumped the row again. This time there was 1 red. And it was exactly where it needed to be to match away my red countdown.

    Those are some long odds...

    Yes, I've seen this too. I skip those because I don't know what other surprises there might be.

    edit: I just thought, it could be perfectly valid. The player could have had a Carnage with 2 covers, used him, then decided to sell him because he's just not as good as Moonstone.

    Absolutely. As a guy who logs doubtlessly an above average amount of playtime, this is different. Particularly in my experience with the 150 level ares - who is perversely overpowered NORMALLY. Nevermind the overboost, nevermind the satanic cascades I'm seeing.

    Ignoring the annoying carnage reactionary power wasting time, ignoring the unusual manifestation of the laws of probability - the buffing of 2 star characters is particularly aggravating. Some idea that some new turd can waste me with his ares / hawkeye combo after months of time and in some cases money invested - while at the same time I can get ritually wasted in the simulator by teams with 270 thorette, XF, and the hood - is ridiculous.

    I, in the same way, have done fine in this tournament thus far, but have taken WAY WAY more damage than would and SHOULD be normal.

    p.s. Given my level of annoyance I am currently seeking out matches with 150 ares and hawkeye for spite.

    Got to 850~ points then it became retaliation city. Hoping I can keep top 25 to finish my Magneto but getting 800 pt progression is awesome.

    Didn't have the powered up characters to intimidate people into not attacking me.

    Also the wholle affair is on Stream.
