    I just got a token for taking Gwenom for a spin so it seems we have another play daily vault in game, presumably with Spider Verse characters.

    Edit: And yup...aint open yet!

    Gwenom Purple is said to be making 1.25 and 1.5 web tiles per color (ranks 4 and 5, respectively) in the game ability description. Haven't tried it in play yet. If it is true, I'm truly baffled at this change (nerf).

    I don't have her black power but the purple is animation wise just Wong's with Spider characters and the red is EXACTLY the 4* version except she is has the symbiote costume. So low effort there.

    Her red does hit more than one character. It was almost like an AOE in that it downed two at once so it isn't as obvious as when Sabretooth/Apoc do their thing.

    I also got a Token for using 3 star Spidey. The vault is not yet available.

    That was pretty wild. Your team took a truck ton of damage but the end result there was pretty sweet.
    I might just stick her behind steel witch and see what happens.

    Or you can use her with Chasm, she not going to create much web tiles on her own.
    And red is Chasm weakest color :D
    Gwen is like a ghost, very quickly she will tank no color at all.

    Wild. Chasm/Gwenom/Kang just became THE counter-meta team.

    Well until whatever happens to Chasm happens.

    You mean his buff nerf that makes him drain 4AP?

    Well they did say there was more to come but if that turns out to be making more web tilles then...

    That battle only got a victory because of chasm spawning webs, and because matching a free move, if not kang would died and quickly the AP drained, losing 150k damage of the enhance.
    I wonder who could be a fan of the red power, I was expecting a vicious beating, and she just plays the drums.
    I get that the nerfed purple is because of future sinergies. This character so meh just needed more nerfs.

    Eh. I mean, it's really nice to see this working and I commend @SourCream for showing it- very nice find, appreciated! This makes Symbiote-Gwen look better! Buuuut. But it needed both boosts and all of Kang's health to accomplish. All 180k of it.

    A counter needs to do its job safely, like Sabretooth vs Polaris/GRocket. Because the point of a counter is to be able to deal with the team it's countering easily and multiple times. If it can't do that, it's not a counter, it's just a team that won.

    This does not look safe and with Kang almost dead, you can only do it once before you have to healthpack. Therefore, unless it could be improved to be safer, I would not exactly call this a counter.

    Can we get this animation treatment for Taskmaster pasted over the animations he's copying?

    Thanks.

    Is it just cheaper to use the same characters, or advertise for other related media, than to make a new character for the game?

    I don't even care what she does at this point. I'll cover her, because I collect, and I don't want to miss anything, but I lost all interest at the reveal.

    We have several spiders, several symbiotes, even multiple Gwens, and Gwenom adds another tick to all three boxes.

    Meanwhile, there are hundreds of characters with rich histories and zero representation in game.

    Anyway, I'm just ranting. I'll collect because it's been part of my daily routine for too long, but my excitement is long gone for the game. I don't even bother with VIP anymore, which is something I did for a while as a means of simply supporting the game.

    To play devil's advocate, the MPQ team is beholden to what is approved or passed down from Marvel. Also, I think it's their goal to have representation at multiple tiers (i.e. the same character at different rarities). If that's their goal, then the releases make sense. This explains why they're releasing 5 and 3-star versions of the same character. I am not a huge fan of it but I get it.

    Plus the new team is really pushing 3-to-5 feeders so it makes sense for most characters to have a different variant at each star tier

    No 5* Rocket though. :( I guess it isn't impossible considering how many other Guardian characters got released long after though.

    Yea, I’m disappointed with this release, but not because of the number of spider people already in game. My complaint is that the artwork itself is lazy, especially for such a visually well-designed character. The animations are lazy. The powers don’t feel like the comic character. And the three star looks almost identical to the four star. (They should have made Spiderpunk the 3star).

    Gwenom is a cool character. A Mary Jane carnage would also be cool. But this release is a dud.

    Also, the abilities not being named after songs is a huge miss.

    Imagine if she had a passive that limited the ability/resurrection/level of other spider verse characters? That would make her at least a good counter to the meta. It may be considered over powered, it was just a random thought. But rather than make her passive oddly terrible, there is/was opportunity to block or penalize chasm passives. Just spit balling here

  • entrailbucket

    I don't think that passive is terrible at all, assuming it's the "0 match damage" one. That passive makes it so she'll never tank, which is extremely useful in certain team compositions.

    Just not a fan of how easy she'll be to dispose of... Just leave her for last, she's stuck if you have denied her active colors, unless you are using an ap drainer. I know we happen to have one out there...

    I guess it could add a little more puzzle back to the game, which is never a bad thing. Just feels like a lame duck character, her utility seems like she only works under some odd circumstances and with only specific teammates. Not a fan overall.
