    That is fantastic! Well done to all who contributed to this thread which has been a fun read - well deserved! B)

    Now...if one of you High Evolutionary experts can get my HighEvo/Elektra team working, that would be just smashing! ;)

    That was really nice of them, and not at all expected. If I could, I'd have given my rewards to the participants (I didn't really do anything) but you guys definitely deserve them for putting on a great show!

    Let's figure out another contest to run for the next Puzzle Gauntlet!

    That's your problem, it's Electro, not Electra 😂

    It's easy! Hevo to boost Elektra, then Elektra uses Block to block damage, and Red to drain purple/black/red and keep the cycle going.

    Although it will take a lot of Hevo boosts to get 4* Elektra high enough to tank

    Both you and Blackstone are probably more familiar with 4* Elektra's powers than anyone else who's ever played this game.

    Hahahahaha what!? You can match damage through invisibility? That is wild.

    Good job!

    We're learning a lot more about the coding than we were ever meant to, I think 🤣
    This is great!
    Wonder what else we can break with enough dedication.

    Airborne?
    Away?
    SMBiB’s purple passive reducing strike tile damage 100%? (Perhaps there is a hard number of strike damage that overcomes this)

    So the challenge would be to produce 1 million in strike tile damage? Of course there would need to be an opposing BiB in a puzzle gauntlet node.

    I was thinking about doing "what's the highest value you can get on a strike tile?" as a potential future challenge, but I'm not sure if that one is as fair as this one was. It feels like that would be easier if you had a higher level roster.

    It is roughly 1 million in match damage. I noted it earlier. Basically, it seems like the game cannot resolve ultra high damage.

    It is likely the reason 3* can turn over the health barrier and the 5 has a ton of trouble getting over 10 mill

    I suspect what happens is that 0 damage is not actually allowed because it would lead to an infinite loop.

    So when a character is airborne or invisible my guess is they put a divide by 1 million multiplier on it so that it passes the 0 check but is so small that it doesn't show up as 1 damage on the character (and be visible in the game). This is similar to how Deadpool Whales doesn't actually win the game but instead just does a crazy amount of damage (500K or something).

    They probably need to adjust the divide by multiplier to 2 billion :)

    I initially thought that big rosters would have an advantage also. However, if 1 million total damage will overcome PG’s damage reduction, then bigger rosters will have bigger base match damage, so theoretically less available damage for strikes to provide before opponents start dying. So low match damage toons (like Moondragon?) could allow for higher strength strike tile creation?

    My thought was that having very high level boosters (like Kitty) would give you a big advantage, but you're right -- we thought a high level Evo would be an advantage and it really wasn't.

    Thanks! This was a lot of fun, even before I found this board & discussion. I look forward to putting Airborne & Away to the test.

    Wait, you were trying to max out High Evolutionary's health on your own, before you even saw this?

    We need this player to stick around the forum! Post more wacky achievements!!!

    Yeah, I was inspired by a post on Reddit to see what the max was. It was about a week before Puzzle Gauntlet opened.

    I was just generally thinking about it a lot while working through PG, and realized during my 3rd run-through on that node that if I could get rid of IF without downing ProfX, I could farm the boosted yellow tiles "indefinitely". But I didn't have HEvo on that run, and wasn't willing to retreat. Thankfully, the node let me make another try even after I had all 3 rewards.

    Pah! Anybody can use a HighEvo/Electro team! Child's play!

    D'oh.
