They must have been so focused on Unity that nobody bothered to QA the new character. There is no way they would have meant for it to go out in its current format.

Your logic is flawed as there are damage numbers differences and ap cost difference between what was posted and in game.

As a vet this character appeals to me, I can get fast wins and is a decent scarecrow. I dont know if i would use this to farm wins in pvp though, I would still use someone on the boosted list.
You can still cheese wins, so I doubt I would invest too much into it. Looking at you multiple man and coulson. As along as those are ascended 5 stars they should win turn two after eating some damage.

Who is her feeder?

For some reason it is NOT Sue. I can’t believe she still doesn’t feed a 5*.

When exactly does the retro rewards expire? Google AI claims 7 days, but I also heard of shorter span (3-4 days).

I'm pretty sure it's 4 days

Google AI is hilariously wrong about tons of things. You really shouldn't rely on it for much of anything.

Just the other day I learned from Google AI that Arnold Schwarzenegger was the highest paid actor in Game of Thrones. He must have been hiding under a full suit of armor or something.

Officially the retros go for 4 days but lately they’ve been running long a lot. So just assume 4 days to be safe.

He was The Mountain

She used to feed God Doom, but no longer does so since Iron Doom was released

@S0kun Ascended Human Torch Annihilus did not have his rewards updated, and didn't give out retro shards.

These rewards just arrived for me now. Dunno what happened.

Good to hear, as I was pondering whether to ascend AnniliTorch early.

Had to give the game a kick to shack loose the rewards from un-ascended copies. Reward keep getting stuck, don't want to fall. Is gravity on the fritz down at the distribution center?

Just letting everyone know that Nova had a nerf intended prelaunch when we updated the numbers yesterday, but it doesn't seem like those were correctly implemented to expect so see a rebalance incoming back to at least what's been posted on this page.

I like to believe that was to make room for feeding a 5* Sue a/o Reed.
You know, like, as it would be done in an organization with long-term plans and the discipline to follow them.

Wow. I made some very declarative statements about her pre release, which broke my personal rule about waiting to play with the character before deciding if they were good or bad.

...and it turns out that those statements didn't go nearly far enough. This is, absolutely, unquestionably, THE most broken character they've ever released, and that includes pre nerf Chasm, pre nerf Gambit, purple forest fire Loki, infinite cmags, 2AP stun Spiderman, and 2AP infinite Ragnarok.

This is the most "bring them and you immediately win the game" character they've ever created. Honestly, even if the numbers matched the nerf in the post, she'd still be off the charts.

What on earth happened here?

"At least" is good.

Nerfing the 5AP "fly away and just kill everybody" AoE isn't nearly enough. They also need to look at her 6AP "immediately power up her AoE, plus create a cascade that generates a bunch of passive damage."

Maybe then they can also fix the 7AP "massive nuke plus monster passive damage boost."

I have no idea what they were thinking with this character. This is the most busted thing I've ever seen.

She heralds the end of all ruling meta's in MPQ!!! ;-)

...what's not to like about a little disruption?

Next up playable 6* Galactus ;-)

Phrasing.

Try again because whatever you said didn't make sense.

She doesn't need a rebalance. She needs an entire do-over!

Even at 1/1/1 L300 with Iron May/MThor (neither of those over L350) plus the 2 green AP supports (what does everyone use as the 3rd?) I just tore though CL10 PvE. The 6 AP cost just meant I boosted 1 Green so I could fire turn 0 anyway. I just melted the teams so fast that only on the highest of level nodes (challenge/5E etc) was she landing and potentially needing to use her other powers (as a result I already fired Green 20x but the other 2 powers only 2x each in her quests).

As EB said, definitely the most OP character ever given where things stand now (AP from supports, damage boost characters etc).

If characters had entrance theme songs hers would "You can't touch this" by MC Hammer.
