    The 5* starts as a 3-turn, so I would assume that would be the correct number of turns. Level 4 is a 2-turn for both.

    He seems fun.
    For 6 blue he can stun the enemy team for 2 turns. Pretty interesting.

    Will the MODOK feeder rewards be retroactive like with the Emma release?

    Coincidentally, Sabretooth has a 7 black ap power called "Happy Birthday, Runt". His Doombot deals 3k aoe but only 361 damage to allies. Is 2k lesser damage a good tradeoff for 1.3k lesser allies damage? I'm looking at 3* vs 5* Doombot aoe.

    If you are going to use him on pve boosted with apoc okoye kitty etc... then the 3* version could be better as it doesn't matter too much some high numbers. 
    For pvp the 5* version should be tougher. Also it has the fortified repeaters which could help if the player relies on them too much.

    Shame you kept the blocky graphics for the 3* version, while ugly they made some sense for the twin alliance events, but for an ongoing character it just looks ugly.

    Just champed him and yeah, agreed, that's strong damage for a 3* and imo he plays quite well for a trap tile character in general.

    I'm trying out 3* partners with him in the Golden Disc DDQ node and so far I like 3* Thor. For the same logic that I think Thor/Mystique works well too: Both Thor and Arcade are selfish with colors and want to fire all/the majority of their colors, which means they need a partner that doesn't get in the way much (check, they have no overlap) and love a steady AP drip of all colors to help with speed (check, Arcade's trap tiles feed small bursts of random colors).

    I’ve just champed mine, and his trap damage at 170 is comparable to my level 344 Black Cat. 3* getting some big power creep along with their tier bloat it seems.

    Arcade 5* champed traps are 2500 damage and 3* are 1017, so at first sight one deals a lot of damage and another one not really too much.
    Still my arcade 3* is 180 level and it's 1056 damage so it's expected a maxed 3* will reach ~1150 damage, where the 5* maxed will deal 7500 (having the murder world control room).
    Numbers that work good for the 5* version and really good for the 3*.

    3* Emma and 3* Arcade's powers are exact duplicates (unless I missed out something) of their 5* counterparts, which makes them overly complicated and overpowered for the 3* tier. I was hoping 3* Emma and Arcade would have simplified versions of the powers, in keeping with the rest of the 3* tier.

    I think Arcade is the same at both tiers aside from some fortified tiles, but the two Emmas have different abilities with the same names.
