Ascended Winners and Losers

Yeah I always post them with the dump stat set to 5. I also did punisher Max across the anniversary, I feel like we’ve seen him already though. Main Event as well.

I've got... everybody (currently all 4->5s except Annihilus (should be next week), Purple Man, and Ghost Rider 2099).

I haven't posted most of them because I don't want to junk up the thread with a billion screenshots! I've just been posting the ones I find interesting, or cases where the numbers go insane.

If anybody is interested in someone in particular, though, just ask. I'm starting to get quite a few 3->5s as well.

ThaRoadWarrior

I figured you probably had most of them. I’m still working on my first 370 3* but it’s getting close at 361 2/3. I have a decent amount of 4* pairs, but it is going to take less time to max-min a dupe for scarlet witch and finish her than to grind 300 covers for one of the others. I’m at 62 ascended 4-5s, with I guess 92 left to go?

I'm on track for my first "natural" 3a5 ascension (i.e. no 3a4 ascended from vaults or anything, no purchases). I might be the only one posting Goose screenshots

She came out last November, and has been my favourite target ever since. I have one copy at 370, her dupe is at 247. By end of November, I should have a 3a5 Goose

So, basically a year without a boost from pulling a 3-4 from a vault or something.

I’m not saying stop but man, I hope they don’t toss Goose in a season vault just as you’re finishing the lower one because that would be super annoying.

ThaRoadWarrior

I'm not max-maxing those, just freeing up roster slots as soon as possible.

@entrailbucket what does Worthy Cap look like at 5* ?

Ascended Goose was in the That's a Steel vault but sadly I didn't pull her.

But yeah, a year. I tracked it in the first 8 weeks and calculated around 15 covers a week on average excluding the boosted odds for the character launch. I wrote in ThaRoadWarrior's experiment 2 thread I was anticipating 1 year at that rate and I'm on track.

I went with max max the first go around. But will do max-min+1 for the rest because I want the 5* and don't have patience to max another 3* nor another 3a4

I finished Magik3 naturally about a month back or so, then they gave me the 4 star from the vault... now I have a 5 that is awesome and a 4 wasting a roster slot for who knows ho wany years until she starts getting covers. I can confirm this doesn't feel good.

Mine is lvl502 unboosted.

If that red passive did damage and the yellow countdown were reduced to 1 he would probably be ok or at least fun to play.

When he's boosted the red passive is like 10k so it's a little less embarrassing. It's still not really enough to counter m'Thor though. Blue is actually a much better counter for those teams but it's about 1 or 2 AP more expensive than it should be. The yellow power is annoying but pretty easy to play around. The red active is just bad.

WhiteBomber

Ugh, I just realized he's also 52 levels in and still that weak. @entrailbucket make him better please.

Remember he got nerfed pretty hard, and I believe it was pre BCS -- I don't think he ever did any damage to speak of, but he basically had the Bishop passive when paired with Hawkeye.

I wouldn't be surprised if he got revisited at some point. BCS seem to be undoing some of the more punitive Demiurge nerfs.

WhiteBomber

According to "The Budget" we will correct his health and match damage to the current generation. The budget also says there is a snow storm in Colorado today, so there is unfortunately no wiggle room on the blue. HOWEVER! Thanksgiving lands on an even numbered day this year, so we reduced the damage of the red passive and made it so the yellow countdown only spawns on black tiles, multiple match 4s start to form the shape of a turkey.

and there's a new costume.

This rebalance to go live right after MThor's upcoming buff.
