    Looks interesting. I like that her powers are completely different from the 5's. I do wish her purple made the enemy do their match damage to an ally though, instead of a fixed thing.

    Huh. Seems very straightforward, which is very weird.

    Basically a straight up damage character, we'll see what the numbers look like when ascended. Should be an easy evaluation.

    That yellow seems like a very cool approach to slowing down passive and or tick damage. Fingers crossed she ascends well.

    No Midnight Suns affiliation? Looks like a solid 3* addition regardless.

    It sounds like Hulk, Dlok and Magic will also damage their team more also. Poor Hulk getting countered all over the place.

    Unfortunately a lot of damage these days is match damage and players tend to fire abilities far less often (Polaris passive excepted obviously).

    It depends what counts as ability damage. It should count stuff like Omega Red, Chasm, Immortal Hulk, etc -- hopefully it actually does work that way.

    That's what I would hope for, but I suppose none of it matters if she doesn't hit 5 star in her Sunday best. Protect tiles also not usually all the rage in a game that fully rewards speed, but there is some fun to be had not having to use health packs when they can't damage you.

    Aww, disappointed that neither Agatha is the MCU version. We do need more supernatural villains!

    Her blue says „ Deal X damage to the target, increased by friendly Protect tiles.”.
    We need some clarification on this. Is it increased by their number or cumulative power?

  • pepitedechocolat
    pepitedechocolat Posts: 251 Mover and Shaker

    Protect tile increase is nuts, got some examples from mates where protect tile value overflows and goes negative without even trying.

    Ascended she may be a good counter to passive aoe like OR / jugg provided you have some way to create and safeguard protect tiles, with one good protect tile that could do x 17 in strength every turn

    I think she's actually really solid. She can easily get your shield value into the 100,000s, and then hit for that much. Plus she has a way to convert back any defence tiles that get stolen from you.

    On the other hand, she's especially vulnerable to MThor, and everyone plays MThor all day every day. So I guess she's only really useful in very low PVP, and as a slow finisher in PvE?

    Congrats to the devs for creating a 3 star who can trivially shut down Red May on offense, this characters is ridiculous, while also being simple to stop. One lesser point I don't know has been discussed, I think her pink also won't trigger counter attack abilities due to it coming from their own team, could be useful if it's strong when ascended (hypothetically) especially if more supports end up with those abilities. Leapfrog triggers from your own team damage though :smile:

    Is "Red May" 3* Iron May? How does Agatha shut her down? (Actually asking -- I'm sure I'm missing something here)

    Yeah, Omega Red + Iron May

    Take Agatha 3 (5 in yella), any character or support that starts with protect tiles (stronger the better) and Red will immediately push those protect tiles beyond the damage his passive is capable of doing. Each turn he hits all 3 characters on your team... that's 480% increase minimum per turn added to your protect tiles.

    I took Karnak (and some other support I forget that game me 1 protect tile on start) and by turn 2 it was over. Obviously ascended Karnak is one of the better scenarios since his protect starts strong, but there are other good options like Bill and supports.

    If you really want to shut them down, add Chasm; I'm not sure anyone noted this yet, but Agatha also applies that buff each time your team damages themselves (amazing?), so not only does Chasm slow the match like he does, he will also damage himself every time he makes a move, buffing both of your protects.

    The icing on the cake, for only 5 blue you can now destroy any one enemy with her passive that turns 500k in protect tiles to strike damage.

    So there are multiple options, but for the never ending sea of Red,May,Chasm I am testing Agatha3, Chasm, Karnak . Karnak and Chasm already love each other since Chasm slows the match easily for Karnak to pop is passive and usually things don't last long after that (if ascended), but I'm still testing any other options.

    Some notes:

    • Seems obvious, but protect those protect tiles, without them you eat large damage and once Karnak pops you would need a teamup to get more protects out.
    • Kill May first. This is always the desire, but in SIM she can't hide behind supports and Chasm or Karnak match damage eat her up fast.
    • Chasm is also a good MThor counter, so stopping her charge creation at the beginning of the match helps a lot, though against just MThor and no Red I don't think I would recommend Agatha, but in my experience it has still worked out nicely.

    Coincidentally in similar fashion, Polaris and or Jugs4 will also skyrocket your defense with they silly tick damage.

    I have actually already seen a few broken scenarios where an enemy team had no protect tiles, but they were someone how receiving their benefit, not sure anyone else has seen this? I'll keep investigating as I can, but I think it was only against an opposing Agatha3, either way, thats good for you if you are using her and something breaks while someone is trying to take you down.

    So, when it goes negative, it protects the other team, apparently? Basically this means you want a good offense to run with her to avoid this situation.

    @WhiteBomber I am glad she exists as an Iron May/Omega counter, but I don’t see them in pick 2 PvP hardly ever. She won’t help with the Simulator Hell Team of Chasm/OR/IMay (yes, I know there are counters) as Chasm would stun her team and Omega would probably take her out super quickly. Maybe when she’s ascended she can survive a few rounds.

    Interesting, thanks!

    I really don't ever see Iron May in PvP, or if I do she's on a 5-points-type team paired with another 3*.

    I've never seen the Simulator Hell Team either!

    Isn't the counter just to move the board once and kill Aunt May? Or is that a team that big players are using to punch down (ie you can't kill Aunt May fast enough, before Omega and Chasm start taking out your guys)?
