Ascended Winners and Losers

Early checks as I ascend my characters…..

• AsMiles does BONKERS damage now. Holy ****. And as hard as his purple hits, his red strangely is just as weak. Looks wrong tbh.
• Jon Hammond has BONKERS numbers as well. His red looks just crazy and the strikes he makes will be too.
• Kraven’s black will hit like a truck but still costs 10 (bummer). His purple is gonna neuter SAPs substantially. The damage looks fair, although I haven’t tested if the damage is for each SAP neutered or not.
• prowler’s numbers look good. I think he makes the strongest strike tiles now. At level 453, his black makes 3 7068 power strikes at lvl 5. He should be a 5/3/5 now.
• sandman’s numbers increased but he still seems just “ok”. His powers still cost 9/8/10.
• Kingpin got a big damage buff. And his yellow mafia dudes hit crazy hard and make crazy big strikes. Still a bit pricey though.
• spider-Gwen’s cherry bomb hits hard, but not obscenely hard. Her yellow may be sneaky enough to put at 5 because any web match burst heals the team pretty substantially on paper.
• Spiderman IW scares me. Nothing has changed except the damage to his red (nothing is gonna survive this power. No need to count the numbers). If his level gets high enough that he tanks and he’s teamed with a match damage truck…… how are you gonna hurt this dude on a web tile team?
• spider-woman’s damage goes up substantially. Her black seems really good. Still costs 9 but once it’s on the field…. It has a very low exploitable number to activate and intercept damage.
• punisher (max)’s numbers went up but hes still pricey. I’ll mess with him to see if his black can be exploited by other means besides “downed or stunned”
• Agent Venom’s black should be put at 5 for the damage alone. It’s an incredible AP to damage ratio. The damage to everything he has went up too. But that black damage? For 5 AP? Yeesh!!
• venom (Eddie Brock) is character I’m personally looking forward to using. His green is gonna have a great AP to damage ratio, his yellow is gonna be very exploitable, and so should his black.
• vulture was gonna be a great addition to 5* land anyway. But the devs done messed up making him hit hard too. Hes gonna be tough to deal with without a specific anti-airborne character.

Those are all the Ascended 4s I’ve got on the first day and first impressions. I’ll have more soon.

Can you SS 4* Vulture.

I am interested in his green. How hard does it hit ascended?

Just check my roster, I'm in the alliance Clochards.

Vulture is still great, I’m running him with boosted Yellowjacket in this Daken pvp. I’m looking forward to getting a few more Sandman covers so I can bring my Vulture/Gamora/Sandman stunlock team out as 5*

Take 4 black with you and make 1 black match = game over.

Definitely gonna want to level up the tinkerer support.

Shame there's 8000 4s now, boost weeks of the really crazy ones will be not often enough.

True. Not that prowler would be the one to do this with but keep in mind he's only boosted to 580 right now so a 550 wouldn't be too shabby either.

Met my first 450+ Juggs, was manageable but boosted is gonna be tough.

Were you the victim of a head butting

KGB

Of course but lucky for me I was invisible!

The "you lose if everyone on your team is away" passive is on Kang. If your whole team is away, but Kang isn't on the other side, presumably nothing at all will happen.

Of course, there's currently no way to do this (if Wong is away and the other two guys die, he comes back), but it sounds like this is a big with Miles.

You could, if you chose, run 5CM and save up 24 yellow (or 16, or 8, depending on who is left alive) and send all your teammates away.
