    BCS should strait gift him a 550 Wasp at this point and then place him outside of the natural matchmaking.

    At this point, BCS should probably offer to replace every 2* on Mr. F'S roster with 550 wasps in recognition of outstanding service to the vespid community.

    Hopefully they let you reset the quantamania vault. I look forward to the day that you are the only player with a 550 Wasp.

    I feel bad now. So my Wasp is lvl524, and after some digging around and some help from my alliancemates, we think that is the highest level Wasp that a current player has. (Some retired whales may have that beat, but we can't see their rosters).

    I almost feel like I should sell her so Mr_F can can lay claim to the title...but I won't, sorry!

    Haha I think you’re right, some accolade 😂. Hebo would def have been 550, but I checked nyc and he’s lower than yours.

    My 492 is not of the same order but if she’s usable boosted will be a real handful.

    Fingers & toes crossed…

    No update on iOS, calling bull**** on the “update”

    And I can't post the screen shots

    Blue steals ap and creates locked swarm tiles, yellow turns ally invisible and creates swarm tiles, black steals health and creates swarm tiles
    4 swarm tiles needed to call the swarm which does low damage but increases hopes match damage by 10% each time.

    That’s what her powers did before

    What are the numbers?

    Numbers seem unchanged just a new passive match damage increase

    At 458, call the swarm does 7355 damage for 12 AP

    Edit: I don't think the update is full live. No match damage update. Seems just the passive turned on and that's it

    Ap costs are 6 10 and 10. I could of sworn call the swarm didn't increase her match damage. Also I don't remember the locked and swarm on cds. If I'm wrong I apologise. I never use her because well she's Wasp.

    Yeah that’s just not changed.

    12AP for 7k damage? Absolutely nothing for huge AP cost, and no new passive.

    Nothing to see here, the real buff will come I’m sure.

    Hahahahahaha, she was so bad before that none of us actually knew what she did! I admit that I checked her (non updated) power set in game and went "that's it?"

    Edit: for posterity, pre buff lvl524 Call the Swarm does 12,232 damage.

    And for 12AP…worst 5* power in the game for my money

    How dare you -- insulting Wasp in Mr_F's thread!?!

    It probably is, though. It achieves the rare golden trifecta of weak, expensive, and complicated.

    It has always been stunning that this power made it through development and testing. Just a total failure in every way that matters to mpq. Sorry Mr. F, it's just the truth; no shame in liking something despite it's flaws (or even because of them).

    And fwiw, she appears completely unchanged to me in game.

    A character dealing 12k damage per 12 APs on level 520 is exactly the same as playing Mortal Kombat and finishing the battle with the Friendship move.

    It's actually much worse than that because you need to get enough swarm tiles to even be able to waste the 12 ap. She doesn't make them passively, so you need 12-20 additional ap to cast her blue or yellow at least twice.

    I don't remember exactly but I think she happened during a time when they were being very careful about power levels. Maybe she was relatively soon after the Gambit nerf?

    I remember that tiles destruction which leads to potential cascades seems to be highly valued. On top of that, her tiles destruction gained around 200% damage increment, which at that time was rare. So, she was destroying 12-15 tiles with ~200% damage increment, which at that time, is pretty decent. Now, with characters like Colossus or SC, her damage increment can't match the new releases, which is normal.
