NPC and the goons/ninja/symbiotes

I love the game and have had some awesome games. One major bugging points is when you get a marvel enemy character teamed up with goons/thugs/ninjas etc. As we know all non main characters don't take moves so they get "gifted" certain colours. Main marvel characters take moves so gain as usual. However sometimes when combined you get a very unfair advantage because the non main "gifted" is the exact colours the marvel enemy needs to use their powers. So after 2 moves you get constantly attacked by the marvel enemy. Same for waves especially the DP daily when they collect and store up until the next marvel enemy wave uses special after special. It needs a balance so that if a marvel enemy is part of team then no gifted colours earn. Once marvel is down then goons can be gifted again. On the waves it should be a reset of colours on both sides between each wave. Makes it fair and keeps it a challenge.

Yeah, as I also posted in the new PVE scaling test thread, mixing up AP generating goons with active characters is fundamentally broken. It just got even more apparent there because enemies started to scale much higher (at least for me ).

IMO this can be solved either by:

• Stop mixing AP generating goons with active ability characters. (caveat: wave nodes may still be a problem...), or
• Remove passive AP generation completely and have goons make matches too in order to generate AP.

I'm actually in favour of the second one, just have goons make matches.

Maybe this will make some goon-only nodes a bit easier, but you have a team of superheroes/villains; they should have no major problems with foot soldiers in the first place.

For the sake of balance, you might want to consider cheapening their powers a bit (although a lot of their powers are already dirt cheap to begin with). Or make some powers work without a countdown. Plenty of options there.

I absolutely agree. I was playing the DDQ today and in the third round I get ragnarok. Before he even makes one match he hit me over and over again with his specials and killed my team!! There's no strategy in that! Having goons etc gift AP has to stop.
