Which color is the passive?
Can we get numbers for which amount of damage she ignored with more covers? It only lists it for 1 cover.

Great catch on the missing color, that would be yellow!

As for your second question, here's what IceIX had to say.

"Covers don't change the damage threshold. The ability is designed to prevent death via comparatively low match damage, and punish the opponent for trying."

But how does that scale up when ascended to 3, 4 and 5 star levels? Does it remain that low (255 at 5 covers) or move upward when ascended?

Not gonna lie but this seems to be a character we really didn't need released what with Headpool not too long ago. I guess they are cramming them in for Anniversary this year.

It's a Halloween theme, first a Zombie now another Ghost Rider. I don't mind it, but you're right, they should space these out more or that tier is going to get bloated, and since it's a stepping stone that could be bad for newbies.

Long-term players won't really be affected much, just means it will take longer to get your Daken to 5*...

bluewolf · 22 October 2024, 13:59

When we started 2024 we had 12 2s in tokens (and Bagman hanging out in Limited Limbo).

With AJGR we will have 18 2s in tokens.

A 50% increase in the token pool. A 50% increase in dilution. Therefore it will take 50% more 2s earned via play/tokens/purchase etc to raise your 2* roster the same number of levels as it did in January 2024.

If you have every character as a 2-3, instead of needing 24 2s to on average raise all of them up one level, you need 36. To add 100 levels to all of them you need 3600 instead of 2400 covers.

If all your 2s are 2-4s and you wanted to raise them from 270 to 370 them you now need 5400 2* covers instead of 3600.

um, thanks (this is why I recommend abandoning max-max for many players as dilution has just continued to increase and while you may be losing a few rewards you will be cutting your time investment dramatically and every new character in a tier moves the time horizon further away)

Also, of course, you can't focus on any 2 so you're subject to the whims of RNG unless the devs offer some cash bundle or something. The ascension vaults full of lower tier covers were apparently one time deals, probably partly because some players hit them so hard with their hoards of HP.

However, the new 2s are much better than the old ones who are basically uniformly lousy with a couple exceptions and the new ones often scale decently as ascended toons to help with various other toons, provide special tiles for quests, etc. AJGR seems somewhat designed to help earlier players fight 3OR who is someone they will see a lot, and possibly 5OR with low covers/4Jugg/Pol etc. basically she can ignore some dmg and not die while doing double dmg to these characters who passively dmg people every turn.

ThaRoadWarrior · 22 October 2024, 15:27

I'm really curious how that red is going to scale with ascension, that's about all 2* characters are for outside of feeder rewards. I would also say that at some point very soon here, it would be desirable to be able to favorite a 2* character along with the other tiers. I also hope that this upcoming 4* ghost rider will be Dan Ketch, the one I used to read as a kid.

Dan Ketch was Ghost Rider when I started collecting, and I've been waiting to see him appear in the game. Unfortunately, the calendar image looks like it is going to be Ghost Rider 2099 - I believe his name was Zero Cochrane. Maybe they could use Danny if they do a 3* version (hint hint)...

But Danny is the best…I was curious if anyone had compiled a list of all the comic appearances of each iteration but it doesn’t seem like that data has been collated explicitly.

I managed to find a few sites that have given it a go, this one specifically:

https://forums.superherohype.com/threads/ghost-rider-every-appearance.146372/

Johnny Blaze was Ghost Rider from 1972 -1983 and Danny Ketch from 1990 - 1998 but I suspect Ketch may have the more appearances given that GR enjoyed a real resurgence in the grim n gritty era and was a regular guest star in other books (I enjoyed the Deathlok crossover myself!), although Blaze has been back and forth as GR too. Robbie debuted in 2014 but I'm not sure what his current status is. Robbie was the GR in the Midnight Suns game but I'm not sure that represented up to date Marvel continuity given Tony Stark's 'tashe!

ThaRoadWarrior · 23 October 2024, 12:56

Johnny as Constantine Analog was definitely around during the Dan Ketch era, but I would almost treat that as a different character. Anyway I’m completely unfamiliar with the female Ghost Rider, is she cool?

Alfje17 · 23 October 2024, 15:17

Did the odds for the 15CP store change?
Last one I checked, it was 33% for 4* and 50% for 3*, but now it shows
"40% chance for 3* Characters, 25% chance for 4* Characters, 10% chance for 5* Characters."

ThaRoadWarrior · 23 October 2024, 15:28

The odds in stores have been very fluid lately for some reason.

If that's accurate, then it definitely has, yeah. They probably thought the odds for pulling the new character was too low -- it was in fact a substantially lower chance than pulling a 5★ (7% vs 10% .) I went back and looked at Headpool, and it looks like he was the same, actually:

40% chance for 3★ Characters, 25% chance for 4★ Characters, 10% chance for 5★ Characters.

TBH they're not a good deal if you want to advance your Roster, the vast majority of your pulls are going to be 3★ and it's seriously not worth it to spend CP on 3★ -- you're better off spending 5 more and pulling Classics. OTOH if you're looking to level a particular 4★ or 5★ fast, they're not the worst thing in the world since they have the same chance of Bonus shards as any other Legendary-style token.

Never even heard of her before but it is pretty hard to be cool when your head is on fire, so I assume she is smoking instead.

Agreed. I pretty much only pull the free ones they give out from PvE/PvP rewards. Luckily they are generous with these tokens and you can get 25-35 of them so you typically get 2-3 5 stars and several 4s.

Same. I did the math based on the old odds, and for straight 5★ they were actually slightly better than Legendary Pulls (.667 5★ pulls per 100 CP vs .571 5★ pulls per 100 CP) and only a little worse for 4★s (2.22 per 100cp vs 3.429 per 100cp) but were flat out awful compared to Classic pulls (4.167 4★ and .8333 5★ per 100cp.) But that doesn't factor in the whole point of pulling LTs is to advance those three 5★s, so you wouldn't pull these instead of Legendary pulls -- if you didn't care what 5★s you got you'd pull Classics.

The new odds take the 4★ pulls down to 1.667 per 100cp, which is about half the Legendary pulls. Even worse.
