    Wolfsbane is primary feeder. Seemed like there might have been a secondary but i didn’t pay attention closely to the rewards i got.

    S0kun is on paternity leave so updates on here might be a bit sparse for a few weeks.

    So how are people feeling about him? (Having read his in-game powers at least).
    His powers are cheap and incentivise you to have someone with stronger red, yellow and purple match power on your team.
    Seems like a reasonable AP battery support with potentially good team damage traps.
    Though they do have to match them, rather than ‘cause them to leave the board’ - SIGH! I thought the Sinister re-work had set the new expected benchmark for trap tile characters…
    Obviously I’ve no idea what the powers look like at 5 covers and at Lvl450, or 550…

    He was the Dev assigned to do so regularly yes after they let go who was supposed to be our new Forum liaison (ironically just after she returned from maternity leave). On rare occasions other Devs cover on here but not sure if we will see that this time as they already have a broken game to fix.

    Is it just me or does in the in game image of Sunspot look more like Pete Wisdom instead of Roberto?

    My first thought was... "Why did they go with that look for him?"

    My second thought was..."suit wearing boy band with him, Mr Negative, and 3* Hit Monkey."

    But I also have girls in the house who love Kpop Demon Hunters so Saja Boys might be the cause of that.

    When I saw the coming soon image, I knew it was time to force quit.

    Obviously we will see a Classic Sunspot costume in about 5 days, just $10.

    Well, Google AI has this to say about the character;

    Gameplay in Marvel Puzzle Quest
    Resource Management: Sunspot introduces a skill cap through the management of his solar charges, which are vital for his powerful abilities.
    Attack Focus: His gameplay emphasizes consistent damage through basic combos and the strategic use of his special attacks and Flare States.
    Countering Shocks: His Flare States are disabled when opponents apply Shock, creating a strategic challenge for players.

    No further character analysis required!
    Seems they really are able to make huge changes with the Unity engine 🤪

    We really live in the stupidest timeline when companies spend billions of dollars to build huge buildings full of servers consuming vast quantities of electricity driving up utility rates and many people just enjoy proving how **** their output is.

    Because. It is.

    Seems like a character I would like to play, kind of the Polaris of trap tiles I guess. We’ll see over time if that’s true.
