Just in case this could be a bug, im not a programmer.
Maybe the next new character has a special power to stop matches from happening and then you use ap and trigger them all at once.
It’d be interesting, anyway, if they did.
Have we considered Mephisto isn’t bugged but just being a trickster?
I had this happen, too, but it also downed one of my characters spontaneously.
Seeing red here
