    I thought passive damage might help with reducing match damage. It works until red gets allergic to being matched.

    Classic Mephisto, refusing to work alongside Daredevil.

    Maybe I am blind and/or insane but people seem to be saying that this version of Daredevil is some sort of gentle hippy who is all peace and love. OK, fair enough but some questions:

    1.) The giant sword? What is that for?
    2.) Oh and the knife.
    3.) Giant metal punch spikes?
    4.) He is literally called King of the Fist, suggesting he does lots of fist

    If your creed is "violence where necessary" you don't wander around with the entire contents of "Kung-Fu Ken's Martial Arts Emporium and Baseball Card Cave" boasting about how fisty you are!

    I think this guy LIKES violence! And he doesn't need fist to to do it!

    Actually it gave the red cover which, of course it did, meant I didn't have to spend any shards on it, so it was a pretty nice way of the Devs saying sorry for no party fisting.

    Man, is he ever frustrating.

    I said somewhere that there are two ways to evaluate a new character: "do they fit in the current metagame," or "can I figure out something fun/cool/powerful to do with them."

    Using the first criteria the answer is a resounding no. The best things you can do right now involve stacking multiple match damage boosts with cascade supports or passives, or using supports into monster AoEs, and he actively hinders the first plan while contributing nothing to the second.

    Using the second criteria...I think there actually is something there! He's an abilityspam/tilespam guy who you probably want to build around to use most effectively. I used him with boosted Maximus and OML and honestly the team kinda shreds. It's pretty slow, and requires you to match tiles, collect AP, and cast stuff, but it's fun! The trap tile thing isn't even bad if you can spam abilities at a decent rate, and it'd actually be very usable against guys with match damage resistance (some very commonly used characters!).

    Except I will never use him unless I'm just messing around. He's interesting, pretty unique, decently powerful, has worthwhile passives -- and there's zero reason to ever do anything with him because he's flat outclassed by the top few guys and dies to them immediately without doing anything.

    How did we get here?

    • the purple CD doesn’t do damage every turn. You’re better off matching it.
    • His yellow is definitely his best power and that includes the passive part of it. With 2 heroes on your team, he makes 2 yellow strikes. But it’s not about the strikes. It’s that he CREATES 2 yellow tiles if you fire a power. This causes cascades and a way to feed yellow powers (which there are VERY few of)
    • The match damage mitigation is lame. And it’s for all characters not just DD. On the bright side, the damage from the traps can be boosted….. although it’s all in one hit instead of a hit of damage for each trap.

    One thing this character has done is make me play much less.
    Lost interest fairly quickly.
    Reminds me of that time I nursed a sick horse back to being well then it kicked me in the face and never came back

    Many plays are NOT INTERESTED, myself included, dont see many players on my slice, and scores are very low all around
    Same happens with the alliance scores

    Hope somebody can explain what happened with the updated rewards.

    I understood that an ascended Daredevil 3* would give the rewards of 2 non-ascended ones. An unascended DD 3* at max level gives 1 cover and 800 shards, but the ascended rewards for 2 merged max level 3* gives 2 covers and 1500 (instead of 1600 shards). Is this correct?
    It worked correctly for the secondary feeder (Echo getting 1200 shards for the ascended)

    And why is hunter now a part of the non-changed feeder info?

    Was there ever a reply to this? Didn't see one here but not sure if there's an explanation on another thread

    BTW in the PVP there is a new doop code for 250 shards for DD 5*
    SONAR

    Edit: there were supposed to be spoiler tags around it... :-(

    Ha ha, you can give his red as a team-up! Hey players, bored of ruining your own battles? Great news - now you can ruin a friend's battles too!

    Fortunately, the passive parts of abilities don't go through. For instance beta ray bill blue team up will do damage, but not the passive part of creating protect tiles while the countdown is on the board.

    I still like the idea that you can feel like you are ruining things for them!
