***** Galactus (Devourer of Worlds) *****

OzarkBoatswain

Great Machines - blue passive
Devourer of Worlds - purple passive
Cosmic Wrath - 28 AP black

In the new Chulk event, the purple passive says it gains 1 AP in every color, but they changed its effect to only generate black AP.

Actually, that's a bug. It should still be all AP. That'll be fixed in tomorrow's daily patch.

T'was interesting to me that Galactus now has a star-rating and cover, neither of which existed during his Anniversary appearance. Does this mean he could possibly be released as a 5* down the road? (If not, I wonder why they'd go to the effort of adding those when he could very well just stay as-is as a boss encounter only)

Boss encounters are implemented differently than a "standard" encounter. Standard encounters require the extra stuff, so they were added. Nothing ulterior there really, just technical requirements to use him in a normal node.

I don't think anyone wants to fight an Iron Fist/Galactus combo ever.

Thanks for the clarification! (And for the record, I'd love to see Gorgon and Ultron Prime get released someday now that the 5* tier exists)

unless buffed, UP would be the weakest 4* of the bunch and probably not close. the red is a joke. loved his relative low power when playing against him but if i have to roster and field him, please make him worth it.

CrookedKnight

He'd depend 100% on team composition, but his passive with the right allies would be incredible. Him, Blade and Iron Fist? I'll skip that every time.

I just remember his dupe tiles being very, very weak. sure theres a ton of them eventually but they still do next to nothing. unless they dupe at comparable levels to the original (ouch for hb black, sentry yellow, blade purple, fist's passive, etc), what I remember still underwhelmed me.

IIRC when the Ultron Gauntlet paired him with Luke Cage his copies were identical to Luke's original protect tiles. When he's teamed with sentries he's just cloning their weak-**** tiles.

No, he definately duplicated weaker tiles at some point after that.

Stop discussing bugs in the players' favor! What, you want D3 to fix it?
