3* Elektra

Hi, Was curious if it was intentional or a goof that make Elecktra’s shadow step weaker with higher covers?

At 3 covers she creates 2 trap tiles that cause 380 dmg
At 5 covers she creates 4 trap tiles that cause 287 dmg

What is the reasoning behind this?

maybe because:
2 x 380 = 760
4 x 287 = 1148

Yeah the combined damage is still better, and gets more damage from Strike tiles, and negates more enemy damage. The individual trap damage was never the point, anyways.

Having more smaller boosts then a few larger ones is better for several reasons:

  1. It’s harder to match away 4 tiles than 2.
  2. Characters that boost strike tiles (ex: 4* marvel) can multiply damage faster.
  3. Characters that required multiple strike tiles (ex: hobofist) can get their target easier.

Thank you for that explanation, that makes sense.
