New Character Blog - Carnage (Prophet of Knull)

They must be talking about another game.....

This is so funny..... Trying to hard sell a 5* flop...

Interesting effort though... Makes our day by making us ROFL....

I was really hoping for one of these blogs that would actually drill down into why his numbers look like they do, but this one not only doesn't do that, it seems to be describing a character with very different numbers than are present. I'm really hopeful that he's going to turn out to be somehow doing something not obvious in practice that we are all missing.

real question why are his attacks over powered?  His red while cheep at 6 only does 8K damage?  His description for his special tiles are he is an ”absolute monster” with his special tiles.  Hell’s attack tiles are significantly better even at level 3 and she gets significantly more.  His attack tiles are 3rd lowest in strength in the 5* tier and other than DD only give one at a tile and DD is at close to 800.  

Sorry I am disappointed in the blog post and the power the character has.  I like the art work and the mechanics of Carnage.  Giving special tiles in the way he does is cool, and can add value to the game and can add variety to the 5* tier.  Unfortunately having weak tiny kitty tiles really does nothing to make him useful. His friendly attack tiles should be around 500 damage and his friendly strike tiles should either give 2 or be around 600.

His good teammates seems to be Eddie Brock and Prowler.

There are at least 3 enemy special tiles (EST) at the start of your turn a.k.a your second turn and onwards. The following turn you'll have at least 4 enemy A&P tiles.
On your third turn, he will get an auto-match with free ap gain. Meanwhile, Prowler will be fortifying those tiles.

Seeing the recent change in how matching and destroying tiles work, it's probable that when he matches 2 fortified enemy SPA tiles, he should generate two attack tiles, based on similar wordings with 3* Hawkeye.

It could be an irritating team due to the constant fortifying and churning of protect tiles.

Honestly, I haven't even read the announcement page about the new Carnage. Another new 5* that I'll never champ. I have 10 others I'll never champ queued before him...

But keep them coming!

Leave it to you to even try and defend this dumpster fire of a 5*.

But yes, that is what the player base has been clamoring for, more horrible 5*'s that are marginally better when paired with toons a tier below them...

“ Bringing the god-charged version of an already powerful character in the game was a challenge, and this version of Cletus Kasady brings that power in a big way.”

Where is that gif?

I was just talking about these articles in the other thread. When they wrote those pieces, I dont know if they are on drugs or what, because they see things completely different than their best players.

I get that you want to sell your new toy, and this is a marketing exercise obviously, but common, no ones believes it and you lose all your credibility when you exaggerate things so much!

To get prof I need to pull this garbage in the same way I have KP on my roster. They can sit together on the bench.

I've come to the conclusion that they write these articles to the casual player that will never champ a 5* and only has s handful of 4* champs at best (but still spends more money than one might think).  From that perspective, maybe he is good.  For anybody that will actually use him... like others have said, hopefully we're missing something here.

In my comment above I had actually typed “Carbage” but fixed it so as not to be even more nihilistic than I was already... it’s not new, but it’s still good.

I don't know what's scarier. The character animations or the fact that the dev team believes he's an acceptable addition to the 5* tier.

Definatly the scarier thought is the dev team believes he’s an acceptable 5*.  His green animation looks like he is destroying tiles with his guts which is more disgusting and gross than scary.    The animations are still satisfying but lean more to gross than scary just like his power strength grossly underwhelming

Wow that read like a press release not a blog discussing how they developed the character. 
And I am probably going to pull a whole lot of him when I pull for the Prof and Bobby.

I just finished my Bobby. So I'm going back to dillution land of classics with all my cp. I dont see carnage changing up my playstyle much so I'm happy to not cover him. I'm even ok skipping professor x who is currently at  4-0-3 for me.

Would you not rather blow a hoard now on storm, ice and PX?

That has been my debate for the last several weeks. Waiting for the new feature (along with not having a good Bolt) has me thinking of not chasing Storm. I will also have more pulls then. But still I go back and forth.
