Should Demiurge fix Deadpool Superwhales?

Cos it currently does around 90K AOE damage. Maybe less. That AOE isn't enough for maxed and buffed championed 5*s.

My friend the King is sporting enough that he wants people to give his awesome championed 5*s a go. My roster with my **** LT token and CP pulls didn't give me enough covers for my 5*s. And my wallet is too empty to buy many many Starks to keep trying to get 5*s and to get loads of ISO from selling useless **** covers, like The Totally Not Awesome Hulk.

So my only option to hit the King, and the other awesome flers in LR and SSIM would be to use superwhales on them. I would love to see the look on their faces when they realise that my **** roster isn't a pushover when I drop Deadpool's superwhales on them.

I mean c'mon! Deadpool is a hit in the theaters but his superwhales power isn't even insta-killing those whaling players who somehow are very lucky with every buyers club they joined.

    I think you're exaggerating a bit?

    The highest levels of championed 5*s that I've found so far are about 460-475. And they still have 45-50k hp.

    So with a level cap of 550, they've got, let's say, 90 levels to go, from 45k hp. As long as they are gaining less than 500 hp a level (which they are), then they won't hit above 90k hp.

    I'm all for buffing the Deadpool Whales. Whaling is already limited by the points you have to pay so it's hardly a sustainable counter to 5star teams. With those super 5stars you'll need a bit of luck too to collect enough AP to cast them before they kill you with match damage.

    Glad that you agree.

    It's a risk but at least the option should be made available to those who want to risk it, right?

    icon_e_smile.gif Sure that's a good idea until you get hit by the King and realise that even 7 purple won't save your behind. icon_e_sad.gif

    As someone in the business of making spicy tacos, I support this cause. pinktile.png
  • I wouldn't complain too loudly that a lower star ability should be able to one shot a 5*... remember what happened to Venom.

    If that's the case then just give more points for using him daily so that the points accumulate faster.

    Yes. And you know what else would be fun? More characters (not all) having super moves like Whales. Might make gauntlet PVE a tad easier, but I'm sure devs could fix that as easy as the DDP changes. icon_rolleyes.gif

    I think it's funny you think a 3Pool (or whatever team you are talking about bringing and a Whale Team-up) is going to last long enough for you to get enough AP to use whales against the super champ.

    Did it to cake in Ssim last season, 3 max 5*s, i used im35, 1* storm, and 2* champ Thor, boost 2 tu ap, boost 2 yellow AP, 1* storm yellow gathers 5 tu AP per cast, it took 3 or 4 turns, not hard at all.

    As in maxed or max champed? Because max championed OML is leaps and bounds stronger than Maxed OML.

    A max champed OML with over 90K health (as per the OP) does 1348/1198/1049/678 match damage per black/yellow/red/team tile.

    A match 3 (black) does 4,044 on a max champ (1,872 on a maxed non-champ)
    A match 4 (black) does between 5,968 and 10,184 damage on a max champ.
    A crit match 4 (black) does between 18,480 and 35,344 damage on a max champ.

    Even if he's only bringing OML, your cupcake team wouldn't survive match damage. If he's bringing all three champs, you would be dead before 4 turns. : )

    Well at least give us a chance if we want to try to survive the match damage. And I don't need to bring 3*DP with me. I can bring his TU.
