Kudos to the devs for today's 4* match up

:x I disagree. Tried this 4 times. Boosted all relevant colors. When I was invisible, quicksilver blue still near killed me. Surely as long as my invisibility tile is down the damage should be negated?

QS’s blue counts as an AoE, so you’ll get hit regardless of visibility status. The real trick is to manage your blues without triggering the explosion by matching team up tiles or matching 4-matches to clear them out ahead of time.

In my match, I created them as often as I destroyed them, which allowed me to strategically build up my blues and greens. While invisible, I didn’t much care if QS dropped his green critical tile. And keeping more than one invisibility tile out there gave me the backup to maneuver how I needed and take my time. It took me 10 minutes for the match, but I never took any damage once I originally went invisible and I never once had his explosion go off.

Don’t forget that your force bubbles will add up to the blue trigger (won’t trigger it until a blue match happens though, even if you go over five.) So make sure not to create them “just cause”. I saved up to use it until I could pop them with green, typically placing them near the locked tiles to pop them too.

What I find odd, is that IW’s bubbles count for QS, but QS’s don’t blow up for IW’s green.

Overall it highlights just how bad QS really is, even @270 he can be handled by a under covered, under leveled IW

It highlights how bad the AI is, actually. I don’t think I’d have a problem matching away IW’s invis tile with Idle Hands, for example. QS used it on me 4 times and never once lucked into a good match. Not to mention that he just fired away with his powers impotently while IW was invisible. I’d love to do the match in reverse; it’s a very good match-up in terms of mechanics.

And before any one says “you want DDQ to be harder?”, please realize that the only reason we have to fight a Lvl 270 Cyclops is because the AI plays most other characters as terribly as it plays QS. Even then, the Lvl 270 handicap is a joke.

I still think the game would be more enjoyable if the AI wasn’t stupid and the characters were balanced accordingly.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I really like the idea of doing the 4* DDQs in reverse for a Heroic or Taco Token. That would be fun! It would also make for a decent consolation prize for those of us with weak 4* characters, at least.

All the characters without an AOE would be even easier to beat. If they have zero board shake-up and no aoe then way easy.
