    Naw this won’t work out. Gwens base match damage gets set to 1 and it will not grow. So there is no reason to trade them. I took them both over 1 million health and gwenom never tanked.

    It’s better to force elektra to shadow step and reduce her double crosses.

    Oh well, thanks for trying it out anyway. I thought if she was boosted to the point that she'd tank over HEvo, it'd be a way of preventing the millions of match damage per turn!

    Oh, when that passive kicks in, Gwen won't tank any color -- the point of it is to keep her hiding in the back permanently.

    92mil on 5*.

    100 mil is possible, I only failed to achieve it due to a cascade. And Elektra's shadow step protected her up to about 80mil, so I'm thinking she's just running out of them.

    That's my screenshot.
    I'm sorry to see others hitting road blocks.

    I think I'm in the lead, but I've also been known to miscount the number of numbers in large numbers...

    @entrailbucket can we get a leader update so I know if counting correctly?

  • entrailbucket

    Sure, current leaders are:

    3* Evo: @Blackstone 668,988,612
    5* Evo: @Blackstone 92,564,801

    At this point you're just stomping your own records! Where's everyone else?

    We are still pending a response from @SourCream as to whether he achieved his 2 billion score through regular play, or via some...other...means.

    I just keep thinking someone else must be beating my numbers. Thanks.

    Yeah, that billion is huge.

    I'm pretty sure he didn't get there with normal play, I think he was just showing what was technically possible.

    It's crazy looking at the first few pages of this -- folks assumed you'd need to have him at a really high level to get the highest score (to the point where separate divisions were suggested!), but I think it might actually be the opposite.

    True. Lower levels might allow for a higher cut off due to match damage increasing at a slower pace.

    Could be why some are downing enemies at a lower health.

    Elektra had 3 shadow step tiles out and they did not help

    3* Evo: @rainkingucd 1,724,218,653 (WHAT!)

    I’m almost thinking heimdall Sersi as another option. The problem with most that generate yellow is that it costs more than you get back.

    There really isn’t anything that feeds it directly, even with team ups.

    Right, that's why I started thinking AP reduction. Heimdall is a pretty good idea there, would Heimdall/Deathlok work?

    To answer this question, yes :D Heimdall deathlok is a good team. With the added bonus of Heimdall letting you double check if Elektra has shadow step tiles in play

    Lol, I hope you're happy! Poor Blackstone had this won, then you casually pull up and throw down a billion!

    Now, we wait...

    Blackstone is crushing it though with his 5* score. The best I've done is 42M

    I think I figured out the Shadow Step maths. I was at 40M health and made a single match. Elektra had 2 tiles out. Both ticked and then she was downed.

    Maybe when match damage gets so high the back end is treating it like multiple hits?

    This makes me happy.
    I'll be giving it another go tonight after the family goes to bed.

    Well done.

    I couldn't wait until tonight and gave it a shot while my wife is busy on TikTok.... And I found the limit.

    I hit the billion then one more above @rainkingucd and thought that would be it.

    I was wrong... What happened next surprised me...

  • Blackstone
    Blackstone Posts: 742 Critical Contributor

    And Elektra's shadow step was blocking 18 mil per match. Don't ask me how.

    So first off, was that what that other guy was trying to show us? His picture had 2billion and then the 1/1. I wish he'd come back and explain what he was up to...

    Second, I think you win now, at least the 3* division. That is truly incredible.

    Third, should we submit this as a bug??? I'm sure it'd be a high-priority fix!

    I also feel like the devs should should see this insanity and give out some ACTUAL awards instead of the entirely theoretical bragging rights that I offered initially.

    I think we hit the end of where they input code for health.

    Just my assumption though.
    Yeah, some dev acknowledgement would be nice, but it's been fun.

    It's a group effort though, showing each other what's possible.

    I didn't even try and I loved following along with you guys!

    We should run something like this for every puzzle gauntlet -- it seems like the rules there are much more conducive to doing crazy stuff.

    I have a few more ideas, hopefully others will have some as well.
