Update to Gambit (Classic) Character Update (7/18/18)

Brigby

Hi Everyone,

Based on additional internal testing of our upcoming balance changes to Gambit (Classic), we've decided to make the following adjustments to what we announced:

Casey Malone, Lead Designer said:
At the announced cost of 10 AP, it was too hard to get the bonus damage and AP from destroying Charged tiles, since the enemy had some extra time to match those Charged tiles away. To help get that Charged tile damage more often, the power's cost was reduced to 8, and it now creates 3 Charged tiles when fired, up from 2. 

As a nice bonus, I'm very happy with the poetry of a power specifically called Aces & Eights costing eight.

(Ragin' Cajun is unchanged from the previously announced adjustment.)

Casey Malone, Lead Designer said:
The repeater tile is a key part of the new, rebalanced Gambit, but 'at the start of your turn' doesn't include the start of battle, giving you a turn without the Stacked Deck tile.

After further testing, we determined that Gambit could start generating AP more quickly and still have a balanced power. So now Gambit will make that tile for you at the start of the fight.

These are the changes that will go live with the new season. We hope you enjoy playing with and against this updated version of Gambit (Classic).
