Iron Man (Model 40) Updates Coming Soon

David [Hi-Fi] Moore

Hello,

As mentioned in the February Community Video the next Marvel Puzzle Quest character slated for updated abilities is Iron Man (Model 40). The update is planned for arrival with the R94 patch.

Here’s details from Demiurge:

"Iron Man is one of the premier characters of the Marvel Universe and one of the first 3-Star characters we made. Unfortunately, as more heroes were released, Model 40 fell behind, leaving him a little rusty. We hope these changes will give players a reason to get excited to have Tony Stark and his Model 40 suit on their team again.

For Unibeam, we added more base damage, reduced the number of AP pools the ability drains, and added more damage as the ability upgrades. For Ballistic Salvo, we reduced the cost to 16 AP, changed the AP pools it drains from, removed the stun, and added to the total amount of tiles it destroys. Lastly, for Recharge, we made the ability get cheaper as it levels up and changed the AP pools it generates."
