Bigby confirmed black is a true heal

I don't care what Bigby claimed. She is not true heal in the game when I use her healing ability.  You get the green health bar.  

I think it’s possible fork1977 was thinking about Ghost, who has true healing.

That's likely what happened, since I had confirmed it was burst healing in my previous comment about that ability.

Looks like you all have your answer about Swarm tile generation and a missing piece of the puzzle. A Support showed up that has a chance to make Swarm tiles when placed on this Wasp. Not a satisfying answer but there you go.

Although it is much more interesting to me is that this Support doesn't have 5 tiers like the others do, but has a larger damage increase as Rank 1 than other Supports have had. I would guess this one gives a little under 40 damage increase to Blue matches when unleveled if it scales like the other Match Damage perks, and possibly 110 damage at level 50. This means it is much easier to use this Support to change the strongest color for a character with Blue as one of their three colors.

I really, really hope the new game design is to not release an obviously bad character, who can then be made marginally better by equipping specific supports. Feels like unneeded gated DLC to chase. Just release a good toon and make supports have more universal utility.

Yup, they start doing this regularly and I'm gone.

I hope too that it's not a willful design paradigm.  I think two things are in factor, (1) not all characters will be good, and (2) everytime they try and introduce a new mechanic they tend to botch the execution.  I don't think it's willful, I think it's more that they get geeked by the new design that they don't take the character in whole into consideration and how they fit in with current characters.  Sometimes they do it right (eg Clagger), but mostly it's executed badly (eg Doc Ock, Banner).  

Hopefully they fix this Wasp like they fixed 4* Wasp...

That was it, yes.  Bigby to the rescue

I think it's pretty telling that they introduced a pretty terribad character as a 5*, when they know said character will be required in Story mode pretty soon, but immediately gave that character a feeder.

And then started handing out covers of said feeder like candy.

Lesson...bust your hoard now, or start hoarding.

Two weeks after store ends. It's usually on a Monday that they head into LT.

Date of release is almost always on a Thursday. The store ends on a Sunday.  

It's usually 17-18 days after the date of release.
