Hi - could someone explain what difference it makes if you place a character on left, middle or right?

    On offense, the distinction for what color is designated as strongest among characters with equal strength for tile match is determined by positioning in this order: center > left > right. That's about it.

    Does anybody else struggle like I do when rearranging characters? It's a minute long ordeal sometimes. icon_lol.gificon_lol.gif

    Depends on the team, but for the most part no, I don't.

    I wish there was a quick way to switch the order of the three you've chosen.
    As it is now, you have to unselect one of them with a temp character you aren't going to use, and swap them around that way.
    The easiest way would be if you swipe left/right on a character in your selected area, it just changes their positions.

    Not the most friendly UI interaction, but on their "stuff to clean up" list it it's probably ranks below "update the mobile version's battle UI to always show AP totals (and other minor updates)", so we know when this will happen.

    I struggle with my 2*'s. I have four maxed, and for most DDQ's I want them Thor -> OBW -> Storm. But rarely do I end with 2* one day and start with it the next day. So the process is often:

    OBW->Storm->Thor (game loaded, wrong)
    Ares->Storm->Thor
    Ares->OBW->Thor
    Ares->OBW->Storm
    Thor->OBW->Storm

    That's quite a shuffle to get the order correct.

    The other load issue I have now is just finding the 3*'s, since they are a jumble of places with championing. If I want Patch/Daken or Fist/Cage, it is a lot of scroll to find them. It would be nice to be able to sort by rarity.

    What would be really helpful is if they show the match value of boosted characters so I can get the right order. Currently, at least on Steam, when you look at the character for match values it only shows you the un-boosted stats for the character. I would like to know the boosted values so I can position my team correctly and know just how much damage their powers will do before I go into battle. This is actually a really needed improvement.

    Couldn't you just swap Storm and Thor? OBW and Thor share no colours so centre vs left is immaterial for them.

    Because of the different in health, having OBW take teamups over Thor can be significant.

    Except my model has Thor in the centre, so I'm still not seeing it...

    Also, if you are used to a particular setup, you expect the powers to be available in a certain order.
    More than once have I accidentally fired an Anti-Gravity Device instead of unleashing a Windstorm when OBW and CStorm have switched places in the past... icon_redface.gif
