Balance Updates

Angela [2/1] -> [2/0]
Angela is a card that sees a lot of prevalence across many decks, so we’re nerfing her a bit to make other options more appealing.

Destroyer [6/16] -> [6/15]
Destroyer is making big waves. Lowering his power by 1 will give opponents more of a chance to win the Location he’s played to.

Mysterio [2/5] -> [2/4]
Mysterio has more Power than other 2-Cost cards because of how many “slots” he takes up at other Locations. However, in many cases, those extra 2/0 Illusions end up being quite beneficial, so we’re lowering his base Power by 1.

Sera [5/5] -> [5/4]
Sera is slightly too good right now, so we’re shaving a bit of Power off.

Onslaught’s ability now stacks additively with effects like Mystique or Onslaught's Citadel rather than exponentially.
When you start stacking Onslaught’s doubling effect, things get out of hand very quickly! We want to avoid situations where players are waiting for cards like Ironheart to play their animations for long stretches of time, so we’re changing the stacking to be additive instead of exponential.

Nick Fury has been added to Series 3.

I thought they were changing Collector's Reserves to guarantee a card every four. Or was that just Collector's Caches? Because I just opened five Reserves with no cards.

I kinda wish they would have buffed some of the weaker cards instead of just doing nerfs.

Nothing big but I hate balance changes that are just tinkering around for no reason like the Angela one. "She's not overpowered, we just see people use her a lot so we're nerfing her just because."

Weird. I just clicked a Collector's Reserve and got nothing. It just added the blue check mark with nothing else happening.

Angela's problem was that she was viable in almost any deck.

I didn't want to waste some potential credits this week (sitting at 5k) and so I did a single upgrade, which made me arrive at CL 602. The difference in opponents afterwards was instantly noticeable. CL 600 is indeed a turning point in matchmaking.

People at Infinite rank can no longer can drop below 100 that season, so their MMR could have been absolute dogshit. They could play whatever decks they want and just donate
extra cubes to their opponent every single round.

Yeah something is up with matchmaking I'm bouncing between 79-81 rank at CL 1300-ish, my pool 3 collection is pretty piecemeal, I have the parts to do a good p3 patriot's deck but I'm still playing decks with mostly P1/P2 cards and I'm being matched with guys who hit Infinite with the card back in the high 70's.

I just don't like change, okay.

Fortunately they didn't change how the card filter works (at least in the android app): if you select the Move keyword it still also gives you every card with "Remove" in its text

Also warpath turns into a weak card with a third lane but it’s not like it costs you the game to play a 4/5, faking like you aren’t contesting a third lane and then slamming down some points on the last round can pull out some miracle wins.

Yup, I just had this happen to me, I managed to pick up a Galactus from agent 13 only to have the opponent play warpath and I changed my plans to just drop Galactus on the uncontested lane. Imagine my surprise when the Destroyer dropped on the same turn.

Whoops, everything go boom and I still lost. :)

Do Kingpin and Doc Oc work together? Is Doc's grab a move, or a play?

Play, I tried a whole bunch of experimenting figuring out Doc Oct [my first 2 pool 3 cards was Leader then Doc], Leader I wound up using in a ton of decks just for a good I win a card if you are ahead, unless you are playing a tech/combo heavy deck where you duplicate a useless combo piece vs a big phat dude.

As for Doc Oct, I had a lot of misfires with him, most reliable against zoo-style decks and anyone that needs to fill up a lane. I had a deck for a while that used zero with Maw, Doc and Red Skull just to have a few big disgusting big dudes to throw around.

As for Doc Oct Mechanics, pulling dudes into Deaths Domain didn't work, same with doing moves with king pin.

[I wondered if you could get a zero casting cost Aero via raft and do it that way but shes 5 energy not 6.. whoops, and that is so on the edge improbable ..]

If there was a cache or reserve you could have opened prior to the update but chose not to, it can still contain boosters and cannot contain series 4/5 cards. All future caches/reserves you unlock by increasing your CL will not have boosters.

There's an actual bug where people are spending their credits to get new caches, but they can have boosters or be empty.

Thanks for the heads up about bugged caches. Sitting on just shy of 5k credits and I was farming for five more Killmonger boosters before burning it all.

Now I’ve gotta decide whether to lock Magneto in the shop while I wait for a fix or let him pass.

I love how they made a patch about changing the caches and reserves and the first bug that appears is people getting empty caches and reserves.

I know bugs slip through sometimes but what the hell, they might have tested the actual thing they were updating.

(I bet the parts that earn them money work though.)
