A bunch of buffs happened

Oh yeah, the topic of this thread.

After a week of using 672 Moonstone in PvP I'm a lot less high on her. She's very, very good, but not quite as strong as I thought, and probably not so strong that she needs a nerf.

Her purple power is the all-star, obviously -- 6ap for almost 400k damage is nuts. But the problem is, if there's any special tile on the board, it fizzles and you get nothing at all.

And that's what holds her back from being crazy overpowered. Almost everybody puts something on the board now, and a lot of the most popular teams and supports put something on the board turn0.

For example, against Juggernaut/Sam, Sam typically has Low Level AI or (worse) Shield Helicarrier. AI means your first purple cast is guaranteed to fizzle, and unless you can warp the tile into a match, the second one will too. Helicarrier makes a fortified tile, so you'd need 3 casts to get anywhere, or a very lucky board. And by the time they've taken a turn, the board is full of junk and your purple is useless for the rest of the match.

It's like this against a lot of the popular guys. 3* Namor makes his CD tiles. Polaris probably has Low Level AI. She's useless against Rocket. Even stuff like Hellfire Club breaks her. You're better off running her at 3/5/5, because you can still get good damage off if the special tile is the right color.

I took mine to 550 on your recommendation and really enjoyed the week of PvP. The special tiles thing was not a huge impediment with boosted 1a5 HE. His red can take out some specials, and, and Moonstones black can steal SAPs to remove enemy specials. On occasion, I’d have to use HE winfinite purple to win, but not often. Anyways, thanks for the tip!

She's really good, especially if you can find a way to handle those special tiles! But I'm not concerned that she's too strong. I think her power set is actually pretty neat, and relatively balanced despite the crazy number.

Can I be Vice-chairman Daz?

I've only got use TU's left. I'm at 678/800, but the game will probably die before I ever finish these. I never use TU's and I'm not gonna start using them just to finish these quests.

There is still time to right your ways! No more Shields!

Alfje17

Surprised I've used this many Shields, but getting close to finish (?) the TUs and Match quests:

JoeHandle

S.H.I.EL.D. used(?) to be a big ally group ...

un.S.H.I.E.L.D.ed ?

S.H.I.E.L.D.less ?

As for me ... pretty sure I've used tens of thousands ... at least LOL

I've got the boosts one left, im in the 75,000 range not making much progress since pvp stopped gifting boosts after a win.

Do you people who never shield just finish with 300 points every PvP or do you make sure you're playing at the end every time?
