We’re celebrating the milestone of 2 million downloads across all Marvel Puzzle Quest devices this weekend! To celebrate, we’ve released a bit of info on upcoming characters and Events, as well as having a sale on Hero Points and Iso-8 this weekend only.
New characters coming:
Human Torch (Classic): The second of the Fantastic 4 to come to Marvel Puzzle Quest brings with him awesome flame based powers. Fireballs that deal damage and break up the board, Infernos that amp up the attack abilities of his allies, and Flame Jets that deal damage over time but sap the AP of the team are all abilities that will change the face of combats he’s involved in.
Daken (Classic): This version of Daken is a new Gold character that utilizes tweaked versions of his current abilities to wreak more havoc on the battlefield. Increased healing and deadlier Strike tiles are among the tools that Daken (Classic) will bring to the table.
New Events:
The next Episode is coming soon! New storylines and characters are coming to the Marvel Puzzle Quest Universe.
I’m wondering what the “saps AP” part means. An attack tile that deals damage but drains your AP? That actually sounds pretty interesting. Would be interesting to see an attack tile that hits the opponent’s AP as well.
No mention of his rarity though. Is this the fabled 4* we’re all anticipating?
Sounds like Human Torch’s abilities will be something like:
Fireball: fixed direct damage + either Juggernaut-like random tile smashing or Punisher-like block smashing (either random or chosen)
Inferno: strike tiles
Flame Jet: attack tile with a drawback? New mechanic? Ooooh…
Also sounds like 3* Daken is going to be really good. His healing is already really good (if you scale his health to the 3* standard 5800, that’s 290 per turn, not as good as Patch but good enough to erase all match damage), and if you just scale his strike tiles as they are you’re looking at 63 damage at max, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but you can get 4 on the board pretty early, which is 240 and compares very well with Punisher/Psylocke.
Gold Daken would be pretty sweet. I was a Daken fan in the early game and he was one my first maxed character. Still pull him out quite a bit.
New sustaining powers are a nice addition. Original Puzzle Quest had similar mechanics. Although I think this will be a tile on the board similar to IW where you can destroy it to end the effect before it “burns” out.
Yeah, and if his abilities are still passives I’m thinking this will significantly change our conversations about best defensive team. Even if they aren’t passives then we have a usuable 3* with purple and black powers, I guess that was the dream.
Not happy about Gold Daken at all. Of all the characters you could have picked for the next gold character… hopefully some of the tweaks will at least include less annoying animations.
Yeah a big thumbs down from me for Daken. The most annoying character in the game already.
Looking forward to the Torch though. But if it’s a 4* I probably won’t get him. There is always someone way more crazy than me in every bracket I enter. I can finish 2nd every event, but never ever get first.
I’m finding it harder and harder to be nearly as interested in this game as I used to be. The fact that you just keep rehashing characters for the past 3 outputs is really wearing me out, and I just.. I think I’m done. Not even sure I wanna finish up this PvE, just so much grinding to go through. Human Torch sounds neat, but I’m willing to bet he’ll be a 4* character to go with IW.
If Torch is a 4*, which would kinda make sense for a Fantastic Four member, I’ll probably not bother much with him.
The two 4* characters are awful and cost about a thousand dollars to level up. A fix promised 3 months ago still hasn’t arrived. IW’s tweaks were very minor, but she has the distinction of being the last character to get a buff.
