    Another possibly dumb thought...is there another character who has an ability that boosts someone else's health?

    There really isn’t anything that feeds it directly, even with team ups.

    Right, that's why I started thinking AP reduction. Heimdall is a pretty good idea there, would Heimdall/Deathlok work?

    I’ll try in the morning. Maybe.

    I was busting Sersi so I could pocket 3 yellow board changes and maybe get 2 sets of yellow charges. Also used her to deny purple so we’ll see tomorrow when I’m bored.

    ... Or removes friendly strike tiles.

    Swapped out Kang for Heimdall
    Running 5HEvo, Heimdall, Deathlok

    Hit 39mil... Possible to get more but I didn't have full 30 yellow when I needed it and Elektra ran out of shadow step tiles.

    So... It's possible, just tedious.

    It just hit me that I may have also been hitting harder than electra's tiles could protect her from...

    Once Evo is in the 5-10 mill range the games math breaks down. I litterally one shot elektra through her shadow step tile when i was at 10 mill.

    This is hilarious. I wonder what's happening behind the scenes there.

    My guess is the game is trying to put real damage into an algorhithm and the output is too difficult to process so the real damage just get pushed out instead.

    Before when I down huggernot the match damage multiplied in one turn...so maybe the game cant do the math.

    Naw this won’t work out. Gwens base match damage gets set to 1 and it will not grow. So there is no reason to trade them. I took them both over 1 million health and gwenom never tanked.

    It’s better to force elektra to shadow step and reduce her double crosses.

    Oh well, thanks for trying it out anyway. I thought if she was boosted to the point that she'd tank over HEvo, it'd be a way of preventing the millions of match damage per turn!

    Oh, when that passive kicks in, Gwen won't tank any color -- the point of it is to keep her hiding in the back permanently.

    92mil on 5*.

    100 mil is possible, I only failed to achieve it due to a cascade. And Elektra's shadow step protected her up to about 80mil, so I'm thinking she's just running out of them.

    That's my screenshot.
    I'm sorry to see others hitting road blocks.

    I think I'm in the lead, but I've also been known to miscount the number of numbers in large numbers...

    @entrailbucket can we get a leader update so I know if counting correctly?

  • entrailbucket
    entrailbucket Posts: 5,970 Chairperson of the Boards

    Sure, current leaders are:

    3* Evo: @Blackstone 668,988,612
    5* Evo: @Blackstone 92,564,801

    At this point you're just stomping your own records! Where's everyone else?

    We are still pending a response from @SourCream as to whether he achieved his 2 billion score through regular play, or via some...other...means.

    I just keep thinking someone else must be beating my numbers. Thanks.

    Yeah, that billion is huge.

    I'm pretty sure he didn't get there with normal play, I think he was just showing what was technically possible.

    It's crazy looking at the first few pages of this -- folks assumed you'd need to have him at a really high level to get the highest score (to the point where separate divisions were suggested!), but I think it might actually be the opposite.

  • Blackstone
    Blackstone Posts: 603 Critical Contributor

    True. Lower levels might allow for a higher cut off due to match damage increasing at a slower pace.

    Could be why some are downing enemies at a lower health.

    Elektra had 3 shadow step tiles out and they did not help

    3* Evo: @rainkingucd 1,724,218,653 (WHAT!)

    To answer this question, yes :D Heimdall deathlok is a good team. With the added bonus of Heimdall letting you double check if Elektra has shadow step tiles in play

    Lol, I hope you're happy! Poor Blackstone had this won, then you casually pull up and throw down a billion!

    Now, we wait...
