Character Rebalance - 4* Ant-Man (Scott Lang) (Live 2/16)

I’m pretty sure it stole for me yesterday during his PvP

Well I’ve only used it in pve and it’s never stolen anything.

Ok seriously. What do I have to do to get Antman’s blue to steal SAPs? Pvp or pve. It ain’t working for me. It steals nothing at anytime.

They successfully reformed Scott! He’s no longer a petty thief; he’s an Avenger(C)(R)™!

Haven’t managed to confirm this yet, as enemies die before I can set it all up… But! It probably takes to unlock the Ant-Man’s blue Bug tile into the regular Countdown. It is kinda difficult as it’s locked in place… Alternatively, might try a targeted tile destroy, like Hellcat’s row, and see if it does it. If I use purple to make him Grow and unlock it that way, it’s usually game over.

If it was the case, they seem to have fixed it. I just tried it in DDQ and the locked blue swarm tile stole a tile the way it should.

Anyway, just dropping in here quickly to say I really like Scott’s rebalance, 'tis a keeper in my book.

It accomplished:

  • making swarm tiles a thing rather than a joke and spreading them to characters for whom it’s appropriate.
  • giving Antman and Wasp thematic synergy that is based on actual synergy in their kit mechanics rather than the flavourless “get 10% more when paired with x affiliation”.
  • making Antman much more useable when boosted!

He does play a lot better now. Great rebalance, I approve!

5* Hope (Wasp) is hoping the dev fixes her bugs next.

Go and take a look at those damages of her second blue (Call the Swarm) and black (Grow the Swarm) powers. Toggle from 1 cover to 5 covers and the damage are exactly the same.
