    Why would she be? That's her release event.

    Don't five-star characters usually get a god boost on initial release?

    She hasn't been "released" yet. It's just because we got retro rewards that is throwing it off.

    Now she's boosted.

    Okay, this is weird. Riri is boosted in Strange Sights (the area with the doors) but not boosted in the individual areas (Wand, Orb, Book).

    I still don't understand this policy of giving new characters to veterans. The new character still hasn't come out that the whales are there smiling.

    When Shardmas 2.0/3.0 comes this December, I don't know how you are going to react. :D

    This is a game about rostering and collecting all characters. Then devs reward people who are just doing that.
    Not sure what is the big problem here.

    Seems like it!

    Answer:
    With regards to retro / no-retro, these continue to be case-by-case, though philosophically our internal goal is "retro rewards unless we have a good reason not to."

    We have a comprehensive list of feeder updates that essentially spans the entire roster. We aim to have the majority of this rolled out before the end of the year, barring any issues. Many are likely to experience a "Shardmas", and tis the season :D

    And now she's boosted in Venom Bomb but not in Empire State. Surely this is unusual!

    Her overcharge points do not seem to be adding correctly. I may just be seeing things, but I used her stun 3 turns in a row. I made a match 4 with Chasm not Riri but her charge points went down?
    Also, the AI stun locked me for like 3 or 4 turns so that was cool to see. She looks like she will be very useful in pick-2 pick-3 situations.

    Every turn and when Riri makes a Match-4, she loses 1 Overcharge Point.

    She loses 1 Overcharge Point per turn if she doesn't make a match.

    She may be a game balance problem with Dr. Thor. I just played my first PvP match against a Polaris, Dr. Thor and a very undercovered Riri and she just stunlocked my team to death after about 3 turns. I only got to play one or two matches after that and she resumed stun locking me to death. Just not fun at all and a major problem on the lines of Bishop since she has really good health. Not being able to play the game is not good, we went through this with Bishop. She is worse than Bishop though because she is a 5* with more health and you can't just mirror match her, you also would need your own Dr. Thor and hope you get rolling before the other team, otherwise you will just be stun locked too.

    She never overcharged btw, I am guessing that Dr. Thor just kept destroying her overcharge counter it seemed. It didn't stop her from repeating the use of her green stun every turn....and then making green charged matches giving her more turns of stunning. It was a repeating cycle, no exaggeration. I had level 560+ (boosted) Heimdall and Chasm and their large health pools were just agonizing chewed through.

    For those going to say bring someone who can't be stunned please stop, there aren't enough of those characters in the game as a viable solution for most players.

    This is not the solution to Chasm, it just makes an even worse meta problem. You can keep her powers low cost but the solution is to make her stunned for a number of rounds if her overcharge counter is destroyed or you have Dr. Thor not able to destroy friendly tiles.

    Enemy Riri fired her blue, maybe 5 times total the whole PVP.
    I think you're the only one with that experience.

    This happened to me too. Her and Thor will be sleeper monsters. It was fun to watch getting hammered honestly.
    On a Shang chi Thor riri team you are hard pressed to pick Thor or riri to target first. They can essentially stun lock you within the first 2-3 turns.
    You will be forced to eat big SC combos. While trying to down either Thor or riri.

    Are you a 4* player or single champed 5* player? You mentioned Riri+Polaris+Dr Thor, and since it's only one match, it could be due to you having bad luck?

    I made a forum account to reply to this, my first fight against a 455 fosthor / Shang chi / loaner riri went the same way. I have 525ish 5s, well above the targets level. I went after Shang chi first, he died on turn 2 and by turn 3 I was stunlocked. Riri stuns, fosthor hits blue, repeat, sprinkle fosthors red over that mix until my team wiped.

    It was actually funny because it was so broken, but I can’t imagine how this is going to go once the riri players have her fully covers and champed.

    If only Moon Knight's powers weren't so expensive.

    No Hound, I have a developed roster and I have played the game for 6+ years, I just have dropped off the forums for some time. In my post I stated I was using champed and boosted Chasm/Heimdall (level 560+). This was against a very undercovered Riri too but it was not the loaner as she had around 77,000 health.

    The loaner has enough health that you can kill her very quickly, I am concerned fully covered Riri will be the issue given this experience.
