Hi Everyone,

We have gone through the various characters in our game, and added the ability to view multiple states of their powers where applicable in the Character Description screen. There are several characters that aren't on this list though; namely Iceman, The Hulk (Bruce Banner), and Ant-Man. They will require a bit of additional time to address, however rest assured that we are hoping to implement the description feature for their abilities in a future update. 

The below changes should go live in Thursday's daily patch.

3-Stars

  • Hawkeye (Hawkguy)
    • Full Quiver now reveals Explosive Arrow, Electric Arrow, Sonic Arrow, Ant-Man Arrow, Acid Arrow, Smoke Bomb Arrow, Shrapnel Arrow, and Out of Arrows.
  • Vision (Android Avenger)
    • Solar Beam now reveals Heavy Strike and Light Disruption.

4-Stars

  • X-23 (All-New X-Men)
    • Holding Back now reveals Berserker Fury
  • Venom (Agent Venom)
    • Military Might now reveals Alien Weakness.
  • Punisher (MAX)
    • Punish now reveals Army of One.
  • Nova (Sam Alexander)
    • Takeoff now reveals Rocket Man.
  • Moon Knight (Marc Spector)
    • Lunacy now reveals Aspect of Khonshu, Marc Spector, and Mr. Knight.
  • Miles Morales (Spider-Man)
    • Hide & Seek now reveals Surprise!
  • Gwenpool (Gwen Poole)
    • Deus Ex Machina now reveals Chekhov's Gun.
  • Blade (Modern)
    • The Hunger now reveals The Bloodlust.

5-Stars

  • Wolverine (Old Man Logan)
    • Living Legend now reveals Still Sharp.
    • Die Hard now reveals Old Habits.
    • Reluctant Hero now reveals Finish the Fight.
  • Jean Grey (Phoenix)
    • From the Ashes now reveals Phoenix Force.

    Quality of life changes never seem to get the praise as larger positive changes, but this one has been a long time coming, and is a very welcome improvement to the game.

    Much thanks to the devs!

    Agreed. I actually prefer quality of life changes over big changes. This great and very helpful.

    The next quality changes I would like to see is the Roster Filter used for the Battle screen and the PvP opponents roster (or simply show us the cover count in the node screen).

    I'm guessing Hawkguys Full Quiver power will be either multiple pages or very small print haha.

    This is a great change. Well done. I think the dev team deserve credit when we get positive changes like this one, they certainly get enough negative feedback in other circumstances.  Keep it up!

    @Brigby any chance Full Quiver will also show the Bola Arrow power? You might think it was on the Full Quiver page (The words Bola Arrow are, I guess) but not the part about "Creates a [3/2] turn Blue countdown tile that stuns the target  for [2/3/4] turns.

    You know, the important part that tells you what a Bola Arrow does ;)

    Thanks so much for the update, though, it's a great improvement.

    Would it also be possible to go back and add scaling numbers to a few old powers where they are mysteriously absent?

    Armoured Assault, Adamantium Bones, Spider Sense, and *1 Storm Hailstorm all create protect/attack tiles with an unlisted strength. That's not necessarily an exhaustive list, just the ones that I can think of right now.

    Finally, it would be super awesome if you/they could find a way to fully explain what Avengers Assemble, Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and Call the Cavalry actually do (numbers-wise). 

    Thanks again :D

    @Jaedenkaal

    Hmm..that would probably be helpful, wouldn't it? Good catch! I'll pass that along to the developers.

    @Brigby Thanks for the update! I have a question though. These updates are targeted at the character description screens. But are there also plans in the works to make the altenative power descriptions available when you inspect them during a match? If I'm correct, you can't currently do that, either.

    (Also, when addressing @Jaedenkaal 's issue : I think the Lieutenant's burst heal also misses an exact number)

    Also interested if we could get Green Goblins trick or treat power to come with descriptions. I only got him recently so I haven't memorized what the different colors do
