To streamline character stats and share with everyone how new + old characters scale, we've created a new character template that we'll be updating regularly with new character sheets.

Please have a look at the recent rebalance stats of Monica Rambeau (Captain Marvel will fly in tomorrow) and as always, please share your thoughts with us so we can improve how we can deliver up-to-date info to our fellow ISO-8 hunters!

Sword Strike
Increased damage for all levels

Supply Drone
Made tile Fortified at all levels
Made the drone spawn at row 7 at level 3 and row 6 at level 5
Raised the healing done slightly at level 5

Undercover Operation
Raised the damage slightly at levels 4 and 5

    I mean, it looks pretty, but really hard to look at on mobile.

    EDIT: Just loaded it on the desktop - it's still pretty small and not instantly clear what's going on, In my opinion. I'm on a 27 inch monitor, so not sure who this is marketed at for ease of reviewing.

    I just realised, that the different colours (blue/red/purple) don't represent the powers the character has.

    If it's easier for you guys to post this format more regularly/faster, I can get over it being small or hard to read. As long as we get this information somehow, the format can be whatever.

    Are you able to post the original stats if this is the rebalance? often since these characters are so universally unused, It's hard to remember what they used to do.

    I like it. The old version and the link from @BlackBoltRocks above don’t take Ascension into account. The tables are currently still empty, but I assume they will be filled with much more numbers in the future when 255, 450 and 550 stats will be added. Not sure I know of a way to pack all that data in the old formats. And I appreciate the effort put in to sharing those stats with us.

    The images themselves aren't too small, the forums shrink them for display.

    Sucks that the forum locks down the width of the images, but you can get a bigger picture in the Discord Server.

    Other option is to open the images in a separate tab cause they're actually quite large.

    This is problematic since it is a series of images.
    It looks great, but readability is pretty terrible. You can't pull the text out or anything.
    The spreadsheets are just images as well. So if you want to put it into your own spreadsheet you have to do it manually.

    I'm sure its great on discord or something.

    Appreciate the solutions, but considering the forums are the main ways to communicate - it's a bit sucky we need to find alternate means to find data that used to be easily digestible.

    The biography is so good it's great that we get it twice.

    Wouldn't be bigger if you eliminate that shield and mpq's characters image?

    This is terrible. Too small to read. If you enlarge it enough to read, you get only part of the picture. Worst of all, you don’t see the old powers anymore, so unless you have every character sheet memorized, you have no idea what changed. Go back to the old template. This one is awful.

    I think the legibility has gone WAY down, even if the "looks flashy at a glance" factor has gone way up. If the point of this was to increase the digestibility of the information I don't think this was an unqualified win. Baking your text into an image means that you can't let your browser auto-translate it for you should you need that, in addition to the previously mentioned un-pastability of it. It hangs a hat on the excessive verbosity of power text that it has to be this small.

    I can't easily tell the difference between the old and new powers, and the old format used to explain the intent of the change usually, which is missing here (Is it? I think it is missing)and I think added quite a bit to the conversation about a re-balance. It is cool to have the 5* numbers listed in the table, even though this character hasn't got any.

    Thanks for all the feedback folks. I'll see what I can do about the legibility on the forum, but that might be hard coded. These are screenshots from an eventual new website that you'll see so we'll be linking to that page in the future.

    I'll also look into color coding the tables better to represent the ability colors for additional legibility.

    In the future, will there be some text about what the old powers were and how they changed?

    I've updated the OP with rebalance notes, but to do a side by side comparison is impossible with the way data is extrapolated. There's some crazy excel magic on the back end going on.

    Yeah, it's pretty bad. I'd rather see in game screen shots than this. There was a post the other day on reddit that had the before and after and that is way informative.

    I agree with the comments above, it’s hard to read, hard to understand and doesn’t tell us the difference between the old and new. Go back to the old format if you can

    What’s the logic behind this change?
    I don’t want to have to boot up a PC or tablet so that I can read it, but that’s what I’ll be forced to o if this format remains, as it’s so hard to see on a small screen.

    I also echo the sentiments of others who have already posted. Much preferred the old format. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!
