I’ve had this happen a few times in the past couple of months, but today it seems that using 3* Nova’s red or yellow powers (not sure if just one or both) causes the game board to freeze. The game itself isn’t frozen, but I’m unable to make any matches or use powers after it happens, and have to quit the fight and restart.
I then noticed during the deadpool daily, that whenever Quicksilvers blue gets triggered, instead of freezing a team up tile, the board freezes, making it pretty much impossible to complete the final deadpool daily mission today.
What you are describing sounds like:
Can’t make matches, forced to retreat
The only thing you can click/press is retreat, the game is not hung/frozen. It just won’t let you make matches. It acts like it is not your turn. Most likely to occur when passive abilities are triggered.
It is a day 1 Unity bug captured here:
and also here:
I have reproduced this bug 100+ times. Which means that many forced losses as well.
For the Devs, this is a timing issue related to passive Character’s and/or Support abilities.
The Quicksliver “Speeding Up…” banner pops up because of his Supersonic passive blue for your example.
If you touch the screen at the right time, like trying to make a match before your turn, there is a chance this will happen.
If you want to increase your odds of this bug happening:
- Make sure every character has a passive. (i.e Medusa and Polaris)
- Make sure every character has a support (i.e. Implanted bomb, and Lucky)
- Try to make matches as fast as humanly possible, Don’t wait for your turn.
If you want to make sure there is no chance of this bug happening.
- Don’t use characters with passive abilities.
- Don’t use supports
- When you make a match: Don’t touch the screen/mouse again until at least 5 seconds have elapsed.
Obviously terrible advice, if you want to have fun.
I would imagine a match 4 combo with Medusa, Polaris, Jugg (Fear) with with Lucky, Bomb Shuri’s lab supports.
While trying to “speed match” anything you can on the screen. Make sure that row has multiple SAP tiles, and the match is a multi-wave one. All that would probably be the most likely way to trigger it.
This happens on all device types. (Steam, Android and iOS)

Same occurance for Beast classic powers.
Yes, that’s exactly the issue, but it only seems to have started happening frequently quite recently for me. Prior to the last couple of weeks, I had seen this happen once or twice, but was so rare that I couldn’t match it up to a consistent cause. This time I tried to finish the mission/s (without success) and was able to clearly match it up to those powers being either auto triggered, or activated by me.
I was able to finish the Nova ones today by simply only using his black power, but no such luck with the deadpool daily with quicksilver. Within the first 2-3 matches made, it would get auto triggered and mess it all up again.
I then later also discovered that 3* Jubilee (the vampire one) also causes it to happen, though I wasn’t paying attention to which of her powers caused it.
Jubilee (Vampire) has 3 passives, so she is more likely to to trigger this condition, than most other characters.
@Snooker69 if for Beast (Classic) you were seeing it in the last 24 hours, it was probably a different issue.
I would be curious who your other characters were, or if Beast had a support. Any additional details would be helpful.
