***** Kang (The Conqueror) *****

Yeah, at some point they need to go through all these descriptions and fix ambiguous wording. Didn't someone find like 8 synonyms for "steal?"

I wouldn't take "Destroy" to mean "Expire" in other power descriptions.

I don’t think they are synonymous. Sort of like how matching is a type of destroying but the reverse isn’t true, maybe expiring is a form of tile destruction as well. That would make sense, because the five star would be more powerful than the three (as it should be). Do we have other characters aside from Misty where an effect is supposed to happen when a countdown or special tile is destroyed?

Iceman says when YOU destroy a countdown, X happens. The countdown expiring is not YOU destroying it.

Misty and Kang state when A countdown is destroyed X happens. I’m guessing that a countdown expiring results in its destruction, even if it is not a specific team doing the destroying (which is what happens when it expires).

Did I solve this da Vinci code?

Well I'm pretty sure they didn't go through the wording on all 400+ chars they inherited when took over, yeah.
I'd expect them to be consistent with their own characters though.
If both Kangs are supposed to do the same with Countdowns, they should have the same text.

Right. And they don’t have the same text. I took the 3* into DDQ and used quicksilver to swap tiles so I could match a countdown. Destroying it that way did not net extra AP. I don’t have a blue cover for the 5* yet, but if I did the same thing (destroyed a countdown tile via matching) and and it did result in AP, then I’d assume I’m right. Expiring is a form of tile destruction the same way matching is a form of tile destruction. Not saying they are synonyms. Apple and fruit are not synonyms. Apples are one type of fruit. Matching is one form of tile destruction. Line clearing is another. And perhaps tiles expiring are another. If there’s a character that opposes this theory I’m interested.

5* Kang only benefits from destroyed tiles, and not expired tiles. This actually makes 3* better for the 3 turn cheese team. You have to get your Hawkeye big enough to eat some hits though.

He doesn't, though.
The 5* also gets blue when the tiles expire.
That was the whole point of this discussion about the wording.
It SAYS destroyed, but works on expire.
Try it out.

Down with Abyss = Revive = No Victory

Chasm.

I'm guessing it has to do with turn and stun.
When you down Chasm with enough Abyss tiles on board, Chasm will take over and stun you, thus can't win battle.
Hulk will not take your turn away, thus auto win is possible.

Just me, but I think it's fair and proper operations.

Yes. Realm Shift constantly procc,'ing. I had no idea what was going on and so assumed it was something I hadn't paid attention to with my limited Kang use but nope. Something is up.

It doesn’t seem to slow the game down but it’s noticeable as a brief distraction.

What do you guys mean by constantly processing?

I don't have 5*Kang yet, so I can't check.

Do you mean, like banners popping up every turn? Does it slow the game down?

Yeah, it's not a significant amount of delay, but it's a delay. The banner pops up every turn, sometimes multiple times a turn, depending on what you do. I'm not sure if there's an animation because I have those turned off.
