Will 2 skill villains ever get a third skill?

Unknown

Out of curiosity, do you guys think characters like Doom, Daken, Venom, Ragnarok, etc. will ever get a third skill? I'm not sure if, in the past, a character with only two skills was given a third. It seems like the emphasis of the developers has been to introduce new characters instead of "fun-balancing" existing ones (Spidey, Magneto, Modern Hawkeye, 4* Wolvie). I'm not saying adding a third skill should be a #1 priority, but I'm curious if it's likely to happen or will they just remain with only two skills permanently.

IceIX has mentioned in the past that it's on their radar, and that there are tentative plans to add in some third skills, but there has never been a timeline attached to it.

For reference, third skills have been added to Spider-Man, Classic Magneto, and (Original) Black Widow. I might be missing some, though.

Loki sorely needs one, as he has no offensive skills at all. Hitting the "Illusions" skill may make a few matches but that's hardly an offensive power for a *** character this side of Daredevil.

Nonce Equitaur 2

Rags was specifically mentioned by IceX as being slated to eventually get a third skill.

I don't even care if they're dud abilites ... the ability to get a character up to lvl 141 is reward enough.

Loki was comically overpowered when the game launched. He had an ability that would flood 3/4 of the field with purple tiles. They had to quickly nerf him a few weeks in.

Please give Daken a 3rd passive. The more annoying the better.

With all my heart, no. Daken needs an activated ability, and his current annoyance level is just fine.

One of his passives is healing. The other is strike tiles. So what's left?

Passive Stunning

Daken is pretty confused. He has a Purple passive that is triggered on Green matches and requires Red tiles on the board.

Since his actual strengths are Purple/Black/Green, he'd probably get a Green active that makes Attack tiles on Blue tiles or something just to involve all the colors.

Give him a new mechanic that doesn't steal AP like espionage but destroys enemy AP with matches

I'm "meh" on the ** villains but Doom, Loki, & Ragnarok need 3rd skills that befit their level of power in the Marvel Universe.

Unknown

Hopefully they all get 3rd powers and very soon

Nonce Equitaur 2

A new passive for Daken?

Pheromone Environment
Daken controls the environment with his pheromone abilities. Each time Daken matches tiles with his icon, a random environment tile turns black.
Level 2: The random environment tile turns green instead.
Level 3: The random environment tile is destroyed, generating AP.
Level 4: Two random environment tile turns black.
Level 5: Two random environment tile turns green.

I'm glad to know that! I've been thinking since the Divine Champions tournament about what Loki's third power might be, and one of them was remarkably similar to what you just described.

And even if there were, we all know that timelines don't mean a dang thing to them...
Fun-balancing of 2ap stun and 2ap cascade, I'm looking at you.
