    So 3/5/5 or 4/5/4 are the consensus yeah? I just won my 3rd yellow cover in the Bad is Good event so I figure I'll use it but hold off on further yellow for now.

    For the most part, yes. You already need > 3 yellow matches for a heal anyways and his purple protect tiles are crazy powerful when maxed. That said, so long as blue is at 5 you really can't screw him up.

    Is it just my faulty memory or did they stealth nerf his purple? Upgraded to 5 purple yesterday and after checking the numbers, it seems lower than what I recall it used to be when I had him at lvl 4 pre-patch.

    I think they might have. I upgraded to 3 (+25% strength) yesterday and when I checked they were weaker than when I was at 2.

    The scaling of the protct tiles seems crazy: lvl 50 spidey (3 points in purple)

    1 web tile: 46 protect
    2 web tiles: 69 protect

    At level 60 just now with purple rank 4:
    0 web tiles: 28
    1 web tile: 46
    2 web tiles: 64
    3 web tiles: 83
    4 web tiles: 110

    I do think the purple got stealth nerfed. My L 125 spidey with 5 purp and 5 webs on the board generated a 300 protect tile. I've seen over 400 on a L141 pre-patch.

    Meh, can someone with a lvl141 check in?

    Nerf was somewhat deserved, but then it still makes me wonder what they're thinking with Rags.

    And with the new numbers, 4/5/4 might seem like a good enough build.

    Nerf is justified and doesn't hurt him too bad. I still rather run 5 purple because going from 11 yellow to 10 yellow needed for web only helps you in the rarest of circumstances.

    11 to 9 is more helpful than it sounds. Especially if you're stuck with Model 40 due to an event.

    It helps with Thor+Spidey or IM40+Spidey combos. It's not really an issue of life or death, rather of speed.

    Who actually heals every match though? I heal like every 5 matches and its when the 3rd char is left, you have all the time in the world to match yellows.

    When did they nerf Spiderman's yellow ability? It used to heal with 0 web tiles, but now it does nothing unless you have a web tile.

    Seemed to be around the same time as the purple was changed - it does make more sense now though.

    His yellow still heals with no web tiles. I just tested it twice. Both times it healed the minimum amount.

    I'll confirm this. I also discovered that yellow won't fire if everyone is already full health.

    I didn't fully appreciate how crazy his purple passive power was until this three-star tournament. These tiles can drop match-3 damage down to nothing more often than not and that drags out fights like crazy.

    Actually, it can trigger with full health on all heroes -- if there are web tiles on screen. It will still trigger to clear those webs. This is usually a waste of AP, but maybe you really want to wipe them out to weaken either Web Bandages or Devour that the AI is likely to use.

    Ah! Good catch. I thought I triggered it recently and did no healing, but didn't catch that.
