    The bonus doesn't affect his tile strengths at all. It's applied after he makes the match. I just tried him out and ran his bonus up to 468%, but it still shows his base tile strengths.

    They're not consistent with how they do powers like this though. This could be a bug or it could be intentional. The wording in the power description is no help at all.

    Actually this seems to be consistent with others.

    Headpool get bonus match damage. This does not affect tile strength.
    Toons like 4juggs and Shaw get base match damage increases which does affect tile strength.
    It seems to be consistent.

    This is why I posited running him solo for a 2 in ddp.

    I can't find another instance of the words "bonus match damage," but the wording on match damage powers doesn't always indicate how they'll work. Here's Colossus and America Chavez -- one power affects tile strengths and one doesn't. Both are worded the same way.

    The wordings of the previous devs have always been out of tune. Which you are correct about.

    The wordings of BCS seem to be consistent, but I could be wrong and am happy to be proven wrong.

    I'm not sure either, but I can understand players being confused about how these powers work based on the previous devs' weird choices.

    I can't either. Some of those who I thought it might be: Magik deals "extra" damage, Crystal deals permanent damage, and Hit Monkey deals increased damage to villains but that is his match damage and abilities.

    Phylla increases base damage. Adam Warlock is also base match damage.

    I wonder if Headpool's matches count as 1 or 2 hits. If I see one out in the wild I'll toss SW out to see.

    So ascend headpool yes or no? Is it a case of good when 4 then nerfed as a 5? I want to know whether to put the effort in or not
    Thanks I love you

    I'm pro-ascend. He's not a support character like Iron May or Iron Patriot. They are (for many) "don't ascend" since they get worse at supporting others.

    Because Headpool is direct damage, he may get a "worse" percentage boost on his damage, but with 5* match damage that is still net better. He heals and if he tanks, his damage would spiral out of control. He's like M'Baku light.

    You're welcome, I love you too <3

    I thought I'd switch it up, it's gotten quite negative in here and seeing as I wasn't responsible for it (this time) I'd be kind.
    And remember

    Jesus loves you, everyone else thinks you're a tit.

    Jesus loves everybody, especially after he has gotten all "water in to wine" and then he starts talking about the old days and how he wishes all the old gang still hung out, even Judas. OK he never bought a round but he knew the funniest stories about that time the gang all went skinny dipping and got loaded.

    Anyway, don't do it again, we have standards to uphold!

    Which forum have I wandered into? Although we maybe need some community bonding after seeing some other recent threads.

    I think Headpool rocks. One might call him a...... headbanger.

    Something I’ve noticed is that Headpool seems to heal faster from damage than other characters out of match, but I’m not fully sure yet.

    I haven’t tried to compare, say, if he and another character die. He just seems fast to me, which would make sense canonically.

    I keep forgetting that Headpool doesn't count as Deadpool for quests.
