Multiple Man (Jaime Madrox) 4****

Yeah, this may have created an AP boost meta.

• On AI’s turn….. this is so hilarious…… there’s so many MM tiles that the AI decides to make an MM match 3. So it does…… and NOTHING HAPPENS AND THEY LOSE THEIR TURN! 😂 😂 it’s hilarious! They don’t gain AP, no cascades. No tiles drop. They just make a match that does nothing and lose their turn!

Was there any damage done from the match 3?

What you saw means that at some point in some game, there will be an infinite loop if there is only 1 match on the board and it's 3 MM tiles because the board can't ever change nor can either player gain AP. The only hope is there is match damage so that one team beats the other in an infinite loop of match damage...

Or….. you get enough of your MM tiles on the field to automatically win the match. If his black is procced at 4, it takes 42 MM tiles to win. At lvl 5, it takes 34.

Keep in mind….. you can get 14 MM tiles on turn 0 with + 2 all AP boost.

Doesn’t his third power remove dupes though? I thought the point was to get as many of those on the board as possible. Wouldn’t you be avoiding using that power?

Yes, but you need 10 green AP to use it. You might have trouble collecting that if there are dupes everywhere.

But it might be useful for collecting ap and nuking someone. Just probably unlikely later in a match to have enough free green tiles to collect the AP, especially if you made green dupes.

Just tested him. Now I see the limitation. He only creates tile on the selected color, do you can’t just pump red and blue all day and fill up the board.

Worth noting that MM has health on the low end of the scale for recent 4s. Just a consideration for when you ascend him. Also hard to know how anything will scale. And we don’t know that all the behavior will continue. I mean building a team around him is a bit tricky.

Do we know what happens if you stick him on a team with your own spammy SAP Polaris? Does he overwrite those tiles when getting hit? Or just make no dupes?

Not really convinced by a character you pretty much need to burn boosts on to make viable. Also he will be abysmal on defense imo.

As far as tile look, the trap tiles need to look like trap tiles for fairly obvious reasons.

Edit: maybe I’m just an old misguided vet, but a character who fills the board with tiles that require special conditions to match away but are still moveable seems like a very bad design direction and makes me worried about the future where the overriding concern for new characters is “do something different or in a different combination”. This is a match-3 game and making match-3s impossible is….just not good.

Yet another character Kang would be amazing with

NM. Just tested. Kang’s AP drain prevention doesn’t work on this power.

Yo! This character is wild! You guys gotta try this guy out.

So I’m running MM/AsDrax/AsCoulson vs FosThor/She-Hulk/AsPolaris in SS. They’re all about lvl 461.

+2 all AP boost.

• I fire off 7 powers on turn 0 and get a bunch of CDs on the field. Guys…. The field is almost completely filled with CDs and MM tiles, so on the AI’s turn FosThor barely has room to even make a charged tile and Polaris can’t make anything.
• On my turn 1, FosThor dies before I can do anything because of the power of Drax/Coulson when the CDs expire. She-Hulk goes to half-life. I’ve got a bunch of random AP because of coulson’s other passive that gains AP when a CD expires.
• So I fire off more of MMs yellow. The board has so many MM tiles now and there’s less room for CDs to be placed and I’m overwriting some of the CDs I’m making.
• On AI’s turn….. this is so hilarious…… there’s so many MM tiles that the AI decides to make an MM match 3. So it does…… and NOTHING HAPPENS AND THEY LOSE THEIR TURN! 😂 😂 it’s hilarious! They don’t gain AP, no cascades. No tiles drop. They just make a match that does nothing and lose their turn!

I don’t know what happened between last night and today because before, I couldn’t make a match 3 with 3 MM tiles. The game wouldn’t allow it. The game would say “not a match”. Well now you can put 3 MM tiles together. And forfeit your turn! 😂

You guys GOTTA try this guy. It’s crazy.

Lol, cool trick.
Fwiw, using all max vs all max.
