Health-triggers that get worse as levels increase.

Marvel Puzzle Quest MPQ General Discussion
1

There are numerous abilities that get worse as levels increase. One example is “Baby Hulk”, kept at a low level with 4 or 5 covers in Anger. Below a certain level, against a high-level team, he’ll get angry at a tile match and add 5 greentile.png
. “Baby Marvel” can get 5 redtile.png
and 3 blacktile.png
AP against a tile match.

As these characters gain levels, it becomes harder and harder to trigger their abilities. When they’re boosted, the amount of damage needed goes up even more. To fix this, a fixed number should be used. This removes the penalty for leveling up and removes the baby-character exploits.

It seems odd that the trigger numbers for The Thing and Deadpool 4 differ by 1. Likely, one is a mistake.

Raging Tempest - Yellow Passive

I think your numbers are way too low. Most of these moves should not be going off against match damage, and when you get into the 400-600 range, with strike tiles that is exactly what will happen.

I always thought that Hulk should also get a health boost when anger went off. That would make his power more like the comic books.

He should be one of the biggest most powerful characters in the game yet mine sits mostly unused because he is only a mid tier 3* at best.

Eh, they only sorta get worse. With Hulk and CM, getting them to tank colors is huge. I tried a 140 CM with a 166 Cyke in the last pvp, and she was useless. At 166 she turned into an amazing battery. That was the easiest pvp in memory.

This, I agree with the sentiment but values are extraordinarily low, especially Cap Marvel’s. I think the 4*s should trigger at around 1k, Marvel and 3pool at around 550, and Hulk at 450. R&G need no change.
