Can you confirm the start/end times on Spider-Man vs Sinister 6? That's... unusual. Usually boss events start at 12pm EDT, don't they?Totally excited to have the comic Iron Spider cover, and the MCU Iron Spider at the same time.
Powerset looks fun.
Weird that the devs established a pattern of "2 oldest Classics and 1 oldest Latest" for Shield Training, then for Black Widow and Spider-Man went out of their way to change it and make sure neither Miles nor Spider-Gwen were featured for Pete's Shield Training (instead of giving us the obvious web-tile combo which would have been more fun).
Glad to see Sinister Six, only boss event that hasn't been run since they decided to make boss events more regular, looking forward to see how my roster handles it this time around.
And I appreciate the devs sticking to their guns and following up all this awesome good fun stuff by running Deadpool vs MPQ immediately after a boss. Nothing takes the joy out of an awesome character and guaranteed covers like a week of events (first the boss, then DPvsMPQ) that don't give enough ISO-8. Can't let us get too much enjoyment all at once, right?
Miles, peter, gwen
2) His blue passive (Quick Reflexes) sounds like it's going to be amazing defensively (and a huge pain if he's on the enemy team) if he's tanking. 8 web tiles for 96% damage reduction. That's 4 matches. I guess the way around this is to bring a character with a really cheap attack (Cloak & Dagger, for example) that can be stored up and spammed to clear the web tiles before a finishing blow is delivered.
3) His blue is obviously also a boon for other Spider-Verse characters that benefit from web tiles, although Spider-Gwen's red is the power that uses them and would overlap with his red, so you'd never bring her to experience this benefit. This could, however, make Miles Morales useful as his yellow passive at 5 covers would turn him into a battery with a board flooded with web tiles: "When a match that includes a Web tile is made, gain 1 Purple, Blue, and Red AP."
4) His green seems pretty pointless and the power we'll want at 3 covers. It's random so it's lock / fortify function won't reliably be useful unless you're playing a board covered in special tiles, but even then it's not great. At best, it looks like it will help boost his red nuke when he's not tanking any colors and the board isn't littered with specials. But with that in mind, the cost should really be lower, like 5AP. At 7AP I'd like to at least see it do a stun.
5) His red seems like a powerful nuke that will let him punch way above his weight. Potential new boss-killer.
6) 5/3/5 for sure. I'd have to see his health and numbers to give a final opinion. I'd be fine with him being low-mid HP if his match numbers were high to ensure he tanks and puts out web tiles.
It is indeed weird that the cover for SMIW is Civil War's.
My new opinion is that it was already confusing, so who cares, I guess.
These are the three characters based on the rewards list for the “and Friends” vault, which always gives the chance to pull covers for the essentials for ST.
Does Spidey's green fortify web tiles? Web tiles aren't friendly, they're neutral but can be fortified. Spidergwen can create fortified web tiles
Unless I had the worst luck ever, and it just never targeted a Web tile (highly unlikely since over 80% of the board was Web tiles at that point), then it looks like his green ability does not fortify Web tiles.
I hope this will continue for new releases. Adjustments made for ISO rewards would be icing on the cake.
