    Wonder i got 2 3 star punishers one level 266 one level 241

    seems we get rewards at
    183 cover
    215 100 shards
    219 100 shards
    223 200 shards
    255 100 shards
    259 100 shards
    265 200 shards

    one pushier will get me cover + 800 shards and other would get me cover 400 shards so as soon as this goes live 2 covers + 1200 shards nice

    unless im wrong

    It depends on if this character is 3* Punisher's primary or secondary feeder. If Punisher MAX is unchanged, then likely this character is 3* Punisher's secondary feeder, so the rewards would be:

    170 15 shards
    180 25 shards
    190 35 shards
    200 45 shards
    210 55 shards
    220 65 shards
    230 75 shards
    240 85 shards
    250 95 shards
    260 105 shards
    Total: 600 shards

    Based on what their gameplay says. My best guesses are either Frankencastle. Or it is Capwolf.

    Both would make sense in their own ways. The thing I can say for certain though. They have Castle and Cable as their feeders because this character is a veteran or a soldier. Both of the feeders are armed soldiers. So whoever this is is also one.

    I think Punisher -> New -> Cable links the new character to both a soldier and a cyborg, which fits with the "more than human" clue and the guess that it could be Deathlok.

    and with that being said, the "focus points" make even more sense since his cyborg eye can "focus"

    I wonder if they’re giving Cable a second feeder or switching Cyclops to Cyclops and Echo to someone else

    Passive damage boosting, self acceleration, and ap suppression (and some passive DR for good measure too). Seems like 4* power creep is back on the menu!

    I’m not going to get my hopes up but my first thought was Deathlok and, when you look at the feeders, Punisher and Cable both relate to Deathlok.
    The ability to hit invisible and airborne characters could be tied to the Deathlok program tracking targets and using multiple spectrums to lock on. That’s what I think the focus points are… But, could be wrong.

    Dammit, the more I read about Franken-Castle, the more it fits; target tracking, healing, cybernetics, soldier. I know I’m the only one that wants Deathlok but this was so close.

    Honestly, if this weren't the week of Halloween I don't think I'd even consider FrankenCastle.

    so it WAS deathlok! seems pretty exciting. 5/3/5 is probably to be the way to go.

    also, @IceIX, the Feeder Update panel seems to be gone, but the text is still there.

    Yes, we’re demolishing the tiles.”

    Seems a pretty decent 4star, that would be handy at 5-tier.

    I'm thinking 5/3/5 as his blue AP steal doesn't change at covers.

    "While the AI has control, only Deathlok benefits from this passive."

    Does this when we play against him in PVP, he's not as powerful?

    Will AOE damage cause him to lose his focus points or is it only if the current target doesn’t take damage but another does.? Do we get to choose the target for his red or is it just whoever is at the front when it fires? Does it pick a new target if the current one is downed?

    Heh, no. His Encephalonic AI, not the enemy metagame AI.

    It resets when match damage doesn't hit the opponent. He focuses on whomever the current target is.

    Looks like only changing target for match damage will cause him to lose focus. I’m not sure whether Juggernaut’s AoE is coded as match damage though. He will reset whenever downs a opponent I imagine, which makes him weaker. He is a pretty good partner for Gorr and Polaris. Needs someone to create blue or red tiles. Weak to Karnak though.

    Juggernaut’s damage is at least coded as “tile destruction” damage, which is why it doesn’t benefit from shared strength or Wakanda forever. Not sure if that makes it “match damage” though.

    The funny thing about his match damage aoe is that it triggers Kitty's cd, which will create up to 9 attack tiles. Her cd triggers only on power damage, not match damage.

    Yeah I’ve always suspected it was specifically coded to not get boosted by those powers for whatever reason; it’s not worded like a power that wouldn’t work - it clearly says it does a separate slug of discreet damage after he makes a match which generally speaking means the extra damage will be boosted.
