fahq1977 said: Tiger Wong said: Yeah. If they fire a red, yellow, or green power, she steps in front and mitigates the damage. It doesn’t affect attack tiles or passive damage though. This is not accurate. She steps in front if the opponent makes a red yellow or green MATCH. Unless rogue is ALREADY in front before the enemies turn, she has no effect on a fired power, regardless of the color. Since the turn is over after a non-match 5, the opponent will almost always fire powers first, which means rogue is ONLY able to reduce power damage if you made a match that put her in front.She WILL cut any red, yellow or green match damage in half as long as two teammates are up and you have her fully covered in yellow. That helps, but is not great. As Himatako showed, it doesn't nerf strike tiles.. But her true strength in yellow is 4 or 5 covers and matching strategically when the AI is ready to fire a power.

D4Ni13 said:I may add that if the enemy activates a power and so makes a cascade, if that cascade result in red, green or yellow matches, Rogue would come to front and take the rest of the damage.As so if Riri for example would use her blue, she will proceed to switch the center tiles and make red charged tiles. If she doesn't trigger any cascade, she must surely match red, so Rogue would get in front and take the (reduced if 4/5 yellow covers) ability damage that resolves afterwards. The same would happen with Daken, if he matches green when using his blue.@Fahq1977 are you sure about strike tiles ? Where is the test you mentioned about ? It should reduce that damage too... maybe a bug ?
fahq1977 said:Good point about Riri, situational based on a couple opponents, but still good counters nonethelessas for the strike tiles, check page 5 of this thread. Those are his calculations. I haven’t tested it in detail. But it doesn’t seem to apply rogues mitigation as an even 50% to whatever match damage total strike tiles would cause. There seems to be good damage reduction to matches, just a little wonkier than halving the total But again, I can’t confirm, taking Himatako’s word.

Played against her in Simulator and she had 4 covers in yellow (block 20% for each team mate). And when I did 5200 damage on the board she only took 2080 damage. The same happened when I matched for 4800, she only took about 1920 damage. This numbers represent 40% of the damage, meaning that she blocked 60% (so herself included).Can someone test this to see if it is true for them as well ? @Brigby is this intended, or a bug. Should Rogue reduce damage for herself too or only for allies ? The label indicate that she would be similar to OML and count only allies, but what happened in Simulator indicates something else. Lets talk about Peggy:"Stuns all enemies but the target for 3 turns and places one 3-turn Blue Countdown tile (that deals 102 damage) for each active ally"When she + two allies are active she places 3 countdown tiles.

I think OML is a special case post nerf. He used to count himself as an ally (as peggy and apparently rogue still do).So how about we un-nerf OML to fix the problem? The nerf was never necessary, and looks even sillier now with spidey, dd, and gambit in the 5* tier.
Anon said: Getting your ap denied sucks. Getting your damage reduced sucks as well. Getting both done while eating a nuke later on sucks even more.Rogue is shaping up to be a premier defense character. She's already been introduced to my "Kill First" list.I'm glad that they made her so ridiculously good without being overpowered.
atomzed said: Agree! The simulator pve showed me how good she is, as a defence character. Wanted to kill gambit but Rogue just keep popping in front. I had to carefully avoid green, yellow, red so i can match dmg gambit. and now that it’s confirmed she has up to 75% dmg reduction, she is just too good a character. in the end i had to use stun to keep her passive suppressed while i kill her. i think she’s going to be a terrific pvp character. both on defence and on offence.

hopper1979 said: I was looking forward to her just because of her green. I needed to see the yellow in action and it is much better than I expected. Time to start saving planing how to counter her we will be seeing her alot.
