    Like many skills, mastery doesn't happen overnight. If you expect overnight success, and it doesn't happen, then it's not easy in your mind. If you adopt a realistic approach, then it's easy.

    If you frequent forums and take those advices provided in reddit/here, you'd have champed at least one 5* of your choice by the time you reach Shield Ranking 120 or scl 10. What about players who don't frequent forums? It simply means they are not concerned about champing everything in an unrealistic timeframe.

    As for Supports, players are guaranteed a minimum R3 support every month. A lot of meta supports have already been featured. On top of that, the dev is revealing what they have in store for supports this month. Come to think of it, even if the dev reveal sharding for supports, some players will still be unhappy because the new path doesn't give them R5 support overnight everyday.

    So, Kang.
    I'm seeing a bit of him this week, but I wonder how much of that is due to him still being boosted.
    I'm not sure he'll be viable in pick two with "only" normal health.

    I'm using Kang because he is boosted and because he is new - agree that he's not one I'm likely to use in pick two in the long run.

    The 550 Kangs are starting to show up, and he's pretty bad on defense. The only ability you have to worry about is black, but it's not fed and I haven't seen it go off too many times. The chance the AI will get to 9 blue is fairly low, and even if he does, you can target the CD tile to get your guy back. Kang is really one where additional levels aren't a big deal -- he's really just about as good as 450 as he is at 550.

    He's good on offense and fun to play as you can send the most tanky one to another dimension and then crush the already hurt one.
    On defense, on SIM, where he isn't boosted, I'm taking hits.
    Probably more than a chahulk user.

    This. He is absolutely pointless on defense. MT/SC might be easy to beat also but every now and then you are going to wipe out due to a crazy cascade. But Kang is basically useless in the AIs hand is not a deterrent even at 550.

    Thank you.
    So no point in making him bigger.

    Yeah the AI is never gonna be able to use his blue in a strategic way on defence but it won't matter because by the time players have climbed to where they wanna be he will be replaced by a Chasm/iHulk team on defence. So nothing is gonna change in PvP.

    No, actually a pretty fast character but easy to beat.
    Like the game used to be.

    I'll just add...I can't speak to how much faster he is on offense when he's maxed out. His black does do a ton of damage, and his purple can hit very hard when it's used situationally (the AI won't do this correctly ever). I guess it's possible that all those extra levels are worth it, just to get more damage on black/purple.

    If your plan on offense is to win by sending guys away, then levels don't matter at all. If you're putting levels on him for defense, I'd say that's also probably not worth it. Someone else can maybe weigh in on whether it's worth expending resources to power up his black and purple.

    That's easy. Level 450 Black power 6 AP for 27.400, 6 purple for adding 1 cd turn and 1750 for each cd turn and for each enemy SAP.
    So maxed will be ~70k for black and ~4200 for each purple condition.

    Nice catch! Found a 450 Kang on the leaderboards and it appears he has the “standard” match damage 1068/949/831/etc.

    Edit: His health was also bumped from 70,312 to 85,465.

    Edit 2: Purple was also buffed. He now does 1153/1345/1730 damage for each enemy SAP (up from 287/335/430), which is the same damage he does for each turn remaining on the countdown tiles on the board. Thanks for correcting this BBR!

    His away banner no longer spams every turn either. He still doesn't get 2 blue AP when you destroy a tile by matching it though.

    Some were calling for a nerf and he received a buff. As someone pro-Kang, I love it!

    This isnt a buff. 287/335/430 is his Purple’s ability damage at lv255. 1153/1345/1730 is his Purple’s ability. damage at lv450.
