Akoni said: I like this one. I won't know how much I like it until we get numbers and I can test it out, but so far I like it. The revive is nice, but I don't think it will be very prominent in game play. I'm betting it'll all be about the purple. Kind of like how 5witch is all about green. Sure, you'll fire off Witch's purple and might fire blue if you feel like it, but he green is why people use her. I get the complicated feeling people have for this one. It's not a character that can be put on complete autopilot like Chavez. If we break it down, it's actually a simple power set. Purple is just a quick cost to activate. You're choosing which color will hurt the enemy team the most and that's pretty much it. You get a bonus from the special tile creation, but I'd ignore that as it is not something you can control to a great degree. Green supports purple and is a synergistic power that will have value based on her allies. Finally, yellow is just conditional AoE with the rare opportunity to revive.As I see it, this character is summed up as : limit enemy's desired tiles with chance to make SAP tiles : fortify and boost SAP tiles : small chance at AoE with smaller chance to revive

I don't know if I'd say they're running out of design space, but if they want to keep making characters with unique mechanics...they're like 200 characters deep at this point. All the simple stuff has been done already.

HoundofShadow said: The dev actually revealed the drop rate for each tile: 15% for coloured tiles and 11% for teamup tiles.In this case, with Domino, there's a 30% chance of black tiles dropping.For this character, if it reduces blue by 70%, it simply means that there's a 4.5% chance of blue tiles appearing. Using the above two modifiers, for every 100 tiles that fall, there will be:~11 team up~ 5 blue~15 red, green, yellow, purple~30 black
Sekilicious said: I look at these numbers and I wonder why I get match-5s dropping from the sky once or twice a week. I assume it is because of confirmation bias and poor memory. But with it shifting from 1/6 + TU to 1/5 + X + TU (the real math is in the post above) then I expect it to happen once per match, but only for the opponents.

Are you saying you see fewer match 5's from the sky that you expect or more? And by match 5 dropping do you mean when you destroy a row/column and get 5 of the same color dropping or just a match 3 dropping 3 colors and creating a match 5 with existing colors?KGB

I think this means new tiles just don't drop at all -- you have to play the game with whatever's on the board until you run out. I think it comes down to percentages. At x/x/5 covers, Domino increases the chance of black tiles dropping by 100%. If this character decreases that chance by, let's say, 70%, then black tiles will still have a 30% higher chance of dropping. With 7 types of tiles, we can assume that new tiles have a 14.29% chance of being black. So with Domino new tiles have a 28.58% of being black tiles. I don't think this character's purple will decrease black tile's chances by more than 100% so there should still be black tiles dropping, even without Domino. Just not many. As always, we won't know until the numbers are released.
