I've "favorited" my 4Jugg for just such an occassion. I won't have my second max-champed by then, he's 338 right now, but if I really feel the sting of not having a 4* juggs I'll just bite the bullet and ascend him. OTOH I'm looking forward to trying out the buffed Moon Knight and my Crystal's a hair over 500, so I expect I'll be fine -- in which case I'll probably keep him favorited so I can get Juggs next time.

Getting 32 covers in 28+ weeks (when he’s boosted again) will be no problem.

So I don't have to read 7 pages of threads, who won?? Wish I had thought of that contest!

It is a good read actually! The various participants managed to go higher and higher and higher until things got ridiculous.
We learned that high enough match damage can break 4* Elektra's Shadow Step. It can also break invisibility.
On page 2 someone speculated that 200M health might be impossible. By page 6, 3* Hevo had reached 2 billion health. Match damage was 3M per tile.
5* Hevo was tougher has his match damage escalated so much quicker. @Blackstone maxed him out at 92M health, with matches doing nearly 12M per tile.
We learned that health must be a 32 bit signed integer, which maxes out at 2,147,483,647. Blackstone then went past that and reset health to "1".
I agree with rainking, @S0kun . That thread is definitely worth a full read. I'm pretty sure it was my favorite thread of all 2023, and I was merely a lurker, just along for the ride. As was postulated shortly thereafter, we need more challenges (official or unofficial) like this.
...you should really just read all 7 pages, it's worth your time.
The contest participants went so far above and beyond what I thought anyone would do, and had so much fun doing it -- it was really infectious and reminded me how much fun this game can be.

S0kun definitely read it at the time. We discussed it and he mentioned that a number of others in the team were enjoying following the challenge. It was 6 months ago though, and a lot has happened since!

......... That whole thing was insane in the best way.
I think we traded back and forth a few times. I was first to flip to 1 health (total surprise when that happened... Thought something broke and had to do it again)... But you got the actual highest health before flipping to 1 if memory serves.
It was definitely a group effort pushing each other to try new things and... Sharing what we were doing to get what we were achieving so others could keep pushing what was possible.
I'm going to stop ranting now. I needed this reminder though. Thanks.
Did Kang get nerfed? I just played a match with him and if he had the other two characters away, he could not send the third. Also, when I would down the only active enemy, an away enemy would automatically come back. So no more auto win because you can’t have all enemies away at the same time.

I just tried it and it works the same way it always has. Were you fighting Wong maybe?
Were you fighting Gorgon in Unholy alliance? He can't be sent away so for that challenge node, you need to deal with him differently than using Kang.
Or, what happens to me from time to time. There are no free basic blue tiles on the board.
It was Gorgon, but when I downed him, the other two were away and one came back instead of winning the match. When I downed him, the same thing happened with the third enemy.

Gorgon is immune to away. Don't use Kang in that node.

@Bowgentle said:
It's not surprising that weird stuff happened when trying to use Away there as Gorgon is an NPC, and I don't think any other character is immune to Away?
Apparently the spaghetti code interpreted "this NPC character is immune to away" as "oh, there must always be an NPC character immune to Away in this match".
Maybe if Gorgon was playable they would have tested him against Kang and figured out there's an issue and tapered the effect.
So...there's probably some weird bug in the interaction between Gorgon's away immunity and whatever you were trying to do.
That does not mean that Kang has been nerfed, or that there's "no more auto win."

I use Kang multiple times a day, and he is working as normal.

Ultron is immune, too. At least I think so.

All the boss versions of characters are, whether they show up in a boss event or in regular PvE.
