5* Captain Marvel has been buffed

She apparently has some match dmg and health bumps.

Also, her yellow now sends teammates Away instead of airborne. There may be something different with her green. Unsure about red.

Hopefully some details will come along today.

Man that actually sounds like a nerf, especially the away instead of airborne

Well it just means Carol is no longer worried about Archangel or Vulture. It does mean that she’ll have to watch out for Kang.

They really should have made her Red repeater fortified a la Kingpin Green. Everyone knows unfortified tiles last approximately 1.86793 turns. My Omega Red’s countdown tile keeps getting removed by all sorts of means, and that’s with it being placed passively and immune to stun. What more a repeater that costs 8 AP.

By the time I champed Captain Marvel she was bad enough that I never paid much attention to what she did before. I would never know she had been changed.

Yep, you'll be getting further details today, but a precis:

General

• Increased base health and match damage to line up with modern characters
• Increased base ability damage and healing to line up with modern characters

Mean Right Hook

• Repeater is now always 2 turns instead of 3->2 turns as it levels
• Increased damage at levels 2-5

Got Your Six

• Characters are now sent 'Away' instead of 'Airborne'. This keeps them from being blasted by characters such as Archangel when it's intended to be a defensive ability to prevent damage.
• Increased healing at all levels
• Increased damage at levels 1-4

Event Horizon / Photonic Rush

• No change to Event Horizon
• Now always immediately destroys a row instead of having a Countdown tile
• Increased damage at all levels

Jinx

Why even bother? She has a lot in common with Wasp. Both very strong candidates for worst character in the entire game and the buff changes nothing. Still possibly the two worst 5* characters. They both also have 4* versions that are drastically better than their counterparts.

"Characters are now sent 'Away' instead of 'Airborne'. This keeps them from being blasted by characters such as Archangel when it's intended to be a defensive ability to prevent damage."

So instead of being "blasted" by a character that hardly anyone uses even when boosted, she sends people away for the very often used kang to take advantage of her sending her own allies away so he can win with less casts of his blue. Great! Instead of taking a bit of damage from archangel instead she'll help you instantly lose the match.

I fail to see how this makes her more defensive and not less so.

I haven't been this disappointed since father Christmas broke into my house Christmas day and redacted on the presents and kids

I know what you really mean by "disappointed" there.
