I executed a Sunder against Wolvie. Opponents next move, OBW hits me with her Anti-Gravity Device. It both added time to my Sunder countdown and gave her health!

Anti-Gravity Device - Blue 11 AP Stolen Stark tech increases enemy countdowns by 2. If there are none, heals all allies of 100 damage. Level Upgrades Level 2: Add 3 to timers. Level 3: Costs 2 AP less. Level 4: Adds 4 to timers.Level 5: 50% heal with enemy countdown timers present. (Dev note: This means at Level 5 AGD and base level character, she would heal for 50 with Countdown tiles, plus 50 more if none are present)

Yes, he should get oBW. Why so opposed? 1* and 2* covers drop like rain, I'm sure that I could have got at least a half-built oBW from the recent drops. I'm not saying he MUST or he can die trying, as oBW is killable with Ares or Wolverine/Daken quite easily, but she's the best 2* and covers blue/purple/black so it seems silly not to get her.

The problem one can found when playing against her is a lucky early cascade that leads to her using her violet skill, which cripples you enormously and makes her teammates use their skills a lot faster. But again, the problem for me is that is not fun, i dont enjoy playing against her. While i dont enjoy playing against Thor either, he doesnt mess with your plans so much, you can make a plan and, while you may be hit with almost all his abilities, you dont feel cheated, he hits for exactly what you already know he damage. With obw, she is robbing crystals all the time, messing your calculations and pumping her teammates. One lucky cascade and you are down 20 crystals, and the reverse for the other team.

Avg about 32-34 probably per a mat h (I usually only ha e to play 2- sub 30 matches per an event). Which means we are talking around 34-43 (34-48 assuming a few hits, I usually do.t het many) matches... I usually do 2 separate "bursts" of points and 0-2 shield hops to achieve said scores. So, that means 2 groups of around 15-20 matchs plus 2-4 between shield hops. That's about 4-13 minutes of playtime per a shield hop and an hour or less per a stretch of playtime. Sure, I don't know if 2 hrs 20 minutes of playing over the course of 2 1/2 days is "casual" ....but it also ends up being about an hour a day...which is ajrdly hardcore for PvP imo. Wait...why were ppl talking about grinding? Lol...

I know for me it's not her abilities that annoy me in of themselves, its seeing her in almost every single fight I come across (unless its a 130lvl+ team or the occasional Magneto/C-Storm match).If you play against the same character enough times you're bound to get hit by an AI cascade that triggers an aggressive recon death spiral as well.
locked wrote: Pysko, okay, we have a 8 AP move that 'possibly' creates a 30 AP turnaround (never more - lvl 3 Recon doesn't steal purple). That's pretty powerful, but that's a 3k health character we're talking about. The most powerful cascading character in the game right now, reine supreme of Jungle and Desert? mStorm, who has 1620 health. Until we get a lazyStorm or something. The most dangerous defensive character in the game (Hood due to his passive) isn't far ahead as he only has 4,3k health. People brag about one-shotting all these characters (moreso Storm and oBW than Hood, but Hood is greatly weakened with lazyDaken's ariival as well) all the time. People have discussed the best ways to counter Recon numerous times. And there are numerous ways: deny purple and blue actively (better have a use for them, then, so bringing your own oBW is a logical choice). Let her have all the purple while you collect green for Onslaughting her or similar. Kill her with match damage and strike tiles. Etc, etc. If Daredevil's jazz hands move would be the staple of AP stealing abilities in this game, I wouldn't want to live on this planet anymore. The point is, stop calling a move broken if you still haven't learnt how to deal with Recon. 2*s can do it, 3*s can do it, but you still call it broken? More power to people like you, maybe you manage to suck all the fun from the game in the long run and all we're left with is lazyDaken and lazyThor. I wish you had left already if demanding nerfs to playable characters is the only thing you're capable of doing now.
