Hi folks!

  • We are aware the release vault/stores for 4-Star Toad are incorrect. We are discussing how best to handle this without messing around too much with events.

  • 4-Star Toad went out a liiiiiiiittle busted. As everyone has seen, we have made some changes, but there may be a touch more polishing we need to do there.

    Additional to the vault/store, the ranking rewards for his debut PVE were also incorrect. No one below t5 received Latest Legends tokens, while I believe those in the t20 are supposed to receive one on debut events.

    Always a good idea to also post a summary of changes. Not needed necessarily, but good form as they say. If you guys have then ignore this suggestion and I will note I need to click around more.

    At some point somebody stuck a "this power cannot generate AP or damage from cascades" on his purple, which maybe would be a decent way of dealing with him, except that power rarely causes cascades. It's the passive that explodes the board when it goes off.

    The only thing that actually needs to change is the passive. I think the easiest fix is just to have it charge existing tiles of that color, rather than adding charged tiles of that color to the board. He'd still be good but he wouldn't explode the entire board for free.

    Not only that but repeated firings of a power of the same color would run out of tiles to charge VERY quickly so that part of the passive would stop working.

    Realistically all 3 of his powers are crazy good so this change would just slow him down a bit and make his team mates (HE for example) have to fire their purple to match some charged to keep the engine going.

    I think he'd still be very powerful but he'd require you to actually sort of play MPQ, instead of just hitting the button over and over again.
