Ascended Winners and Losers

@JoeHandle was curious about Sandman. Level 453 looks like this:

Nice! More than double the 370 #s, and his AP costs remain the same. He'sdefeinitely on the short list.

This is pretty good...lvl573 after boost:

IrisRyu

Ascended Honey Badger is definitely a winner! I pair her with ascended Angela (also a winner even) and they’re pretty nasty together.

JoeHandle

Laura has seemed promising ... I have hope for 3Jubilee. Very effective as a 3, hope that carries to higher tiers.

ThaRoadWarrior

Yeah I would like to ascend vampire jubilee as well.

entrailbucket

Not sure anyone is targeting this guy, but I realized I hadn't posted him. Some numbers do change at 5*. Numbers are unboosted -- expect them to multiply by 2.5 or so with the boost.

ThaRoadWarrior

That’s interesting to see. I like him with Hela, killing his doom bots triggers her special increase passive. 3* Jubilee also does a percent increase to attack tiles, I like them together with one of the carnage’s too.

The damage on his black will be pretty significant without the technologist boost, which is probably good because the boost is lowered. Also he creates half as many attack tiles but they're a lot stronger.

Has anyone managed to ascend Devpool to a 4 yet? I realize everyone is focused on getting to a 5 but I’m curious if anything changes at that point (kind of like 3may getting better at a 4). The 5 numbers are also of interest.

The low-level Penance stare ability, the super fast healing, the all-affiliations….green is random but pretty good….purple boost/nerf.

He seems like a pretty solid target.

Not here ... just maxed the first 3* copy. So halfway there!

Wouldn't be surprised to see him turn up in a monthly vault. Some recent 3* releases have.

I am, thanks for sharing. Have him maxed and duped, 80something covers to go.

Took a detour ascend Nova to exploit the Nova release (done!), then Fury (only needed 2 covers), now back to Shaw (4 covers to go). Then Namor (vanity project), then iDoom (have loved his mechanism since release!)

Yep. Green appears to be the same (damage/healing numbers increase for the CD tiles obviously).

That purple could be an amazing power. Bring the 2 purple supports and 4 with ya and you got 16. Could bring a 632,973 health juggs to 164,573 with him having no way of healing past that. Bring a red support on your own juggs and enemy juggs down on turn 0. Not a turn 0 win necessarily but damn near.

Devpool can only target each enemy (and ally) once with his purple.

It's still a lot of damage if you point it at the right enemy though!

Oh I was reading "not more than twice" for some reason.

Today's edition of "characters/powers everybody forgot about" (lvl506, boosted to lvl626):

Just tested to confirm, btw, you get damage per fortified tile, so if you make a match that has two fortified tiles, the power fires twice.

ThaRoadWarrior

Yes, that is correct. Pair her with 4* black panther and the math starts to feel broken once you have enough of the tiles they care about in a given swipe.

entrailbucket

I can't be the first one, but I haven't seen Darkveil posted yet.

entrailbucket

I can't be the first one, but I haven't seen Darkveil posted yet (numbers at lvl450):

Whether she's a winner or a loser is going to depend on what you're looking for, I think, and I imagine some folks will not be happy.

If you only want to use the Kang team, then the threshold on the Away passive probably goes too high. But the numbers on everything go way up (this kit will be a trainwreck when boosted). If you've used or faced her, you know how often that repeater goes off. I haven't tested her yet but I think this is promising.

Just ascended Northstar and he’s very fun. Using him with Chavez and PX5* and it’s fun.
