***** Silver Surfer (Skyrider) *****

He is strong sure but he looks like he will be super slow. 8k damage is pretty weak sure it is cheap but 8k is pretty laughable. What is scary is his match damage 500+ on two colors. But he cant be purchased and there is always the skip button. Punisher will be very nice against him. As will blade spaming the board with purple attack tiles.

But in actuality he does not look that scary to play against except that huge HP pool

This is picture summarizes my reaction to reading the Silver Surfer's stats and abilities

Okay, a couple issues with your analysis.

1) That 500+ match damage, that is PER TILE, meaning he does 1.5k damage a turn with matches alone.

2) 8k for only 7 AP is not that weak, considering the fact that it is on a character that can charge tiles and has an AP generating move with his black. He will also have ample time to get it off with such huge health, multiple times. You cannot even stun him to stop it.

3) He can heal 14k HP. Imagine getting him down low enough to use Punisher on him, and then he heals back up another 14k.

He cannot be stunned, generates AP for himself along with charged tiles, and does huge damage. I don't see how anyone can not think he is crazy good.

Mutant is right. At full covers he is stupid good compared to every existing character in the game.

But that's the point. He is intended to be that much better, and 5*s are intended to take over the game. 8k for 7ap will destroy any 4* quick (especially with no stuns and so generation), but other 5*s will have even higher health, so we will have to adjust our current perceptions of "strong" damage abilities.

you forgot the part where you say he's easily beatable by:

Loki + Character

TOFU3

5:blackflag: gives you 20APs/turn...
Th4r and SS Just terrible

Guys, want to give me donations to pay me for the 6.5 hours minimum it will take me to make my next video to demonstrate how hard it is to buy Silver Surfer from tokens? I calculated that it takes about 1.5 minutes to open a 40 pack on Steam by clicking with my mouse, at least the first pack before my wrist gets tired. So you get 1 legendary token per 40 pack. You need 20 legendary tokens for 1 SS if odds are average, could be much longer. So ignoring the time it takes to open 20 legendary tokens, let's put it at 1.5x20 40 packs = 30 minutes per Silver Surfer. There are 13 covers, so 13x30 = 6.5 hours. Of course I could have good luck and do it faster, or bad luck and takes forever, but this seems like a realistic amount of time before I pull those covers. Hopefully no extras once I get one cover to 5.

Also, HP cost is (20 40 packs x 13)= 11,400 (current heroic 40 pack) x 20 x 13 = 2,964,000 HP.

$100=20k HP
2964000/20000=148.2*$100=$14,820.

(My actual time to open the cover pack is faster, but I am estimating fatigue and then having to look closely to make sure I don't sell Silver Surfer by mistake).

Well, I dont think devs expect anybody to spend 15k $ and 7 hours of your own time to max him in one day, there may be one or two millionaires playing this game that will use their butler to open them and max him on thursday but it is normal that devs have not considered any of this. And they should not, this is a very extreme case scenario. Normal people will need months to max him. Hell If I can have a SS 1/1/1 on the first month I would be extremely pleased!

SS is crazy good compared with 4s, I dont know how good will it be against Thanos (because he is going to be one of the other two 5s ) or any other 5. We need to wait and see...

I think you need to PM me. Sounds like you....."know" something.

Well I was sure Thanos was going to be the first 5 sooo... But now I am going to be right. Or maybe not. Yeah this time I am going to be right.

It is the right time for cosmic MPQ, so Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock and Thanos

I don't think they will be adding Thanos, because they seem to avoid villains a lot, and he isn't as popular. Also, they might be saving Thanos for the Infinity movie, assuming they last that long.

But the movie is like two years away, who knows if the game will be alive by then. And they can always create know Thanos (mad titan) as a 5, and then Thanos (infinity gauntlet) as a 6 when the movie comes out

Thanos looks like a great alternative to Silver surfer.

Anyway, what I wanted to say, is that we really dont know how good is going to be SS compared to other 5, until we see other 5s. Right now, 8k doesnt seem a lot against 60k hitpoints, but then of course maybe singularity is so good that we have 7AP any other frame...

My bet is Thanos and Phoenix for the other two introductory 5*s, as those three are the most iconic cosmic-tier Marvel characters. We'll see!

silver surfer is a weird one(makes sense, but weird due to marvel's direction), but D3 has been pushing F4 lately - my bet goes with wherever the MCU takes us.

That being said, I don't know of any "5 star" encounters we'll be getting from the MCU anytime soon(Thanos of course, but that's some time out. Apocalypse?)

That and a little birdie told me...

I'm thinking Thanos, Phoenix, and Odin for the first round of 5*

As fun as this speculation is, let's leave this thread for Silver Surfer discussions. We don't want some poor guy 5 months from now looking through this thread for character discussion only to find 5 pages worth of future character release talk after those characters were already released.

funny point to add to to this is just doing the process of 3 red matches (unless you get match 4/5's) to get to cosmic beam and firing it is 12886 total damage which is like already 90% or more of most 4*s health

I just want to know if he can be sent as a teamup, and how many weeks it will take for him to come back.

Also, if StarLord uses sleight of hand, what does he do with that black hole he just picked up?
