Hi Everyone – Here are the Release Notes for the R193 update! R193! “acid wash jeans” We’re up to snow good in MPQ with the holidays in full force! Sleigh all day with new characters, seasonal content, jolly offers, and more! Icy what you did there ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/x505go/original/2X/d/d589860cdf241a4e9e111d6798e670a99bf688aa.png) - Hazard tiles are able to activate when there are not any Team-Up tiles on the board. - Tapping anywhere on the screen after opening a 10x or 40x pack will take you to the next comic. - On the PC version of the game, tightened up the selectable area for selecting characters in battle. - The strongest color will be the Power that is displayed first when there is a tie in of strongest colors. This is prominently seen with enemy non-playable characters. - A new filter has been added in the roster screen that allows players to filter characters that can have their levels increased with Iso-8. - Duplicate versions of characters that both can be leveled will now appear in the Level Up filter. - When you access the Champion reward list for a specific character it will skip to the point where you get the next reward instead of the start of the list. - Backing out of the Champion Reward list will take you to the screen that you were previously on. - When firing M.O.D.O.K. (A.I.M. Overlord)'s Doomsday Plan, the cursor will correctly be displayed on the enemy. - Banners no longer obscure the character when receiving shards in pop-up messages. Thank you and Happy Holidays! ---

Much appreciated, keep it up! :😃 There are a few abilities that look for the strongest color to do things. If you are facing certain goons they have no strongest color (or did not) since all their dmg is the same. So if they happen to match any color due to (usually) a CD expiring and a match happening, it doesn’t matter what color it is, it’s all the same match damage. This set up lead to some abilities having no use, or less use since the game wasn’t breaking the tie before this. The first example I found was Carol, who you probably wouldn’t run against non-movers. There are some other people where they steal AP in the strongest color, things like that. Talos looks at the strongest color in a couple abilities… ---

Goons (i.e. Magia, HAMMER/SHIELD soldiers, ninjas, etc) have equal match damage in all colours, so there was no way to predict which colour the game would decide the enemy’s strongest colour is. With this change, you can predict what their strongest colour is by reading the goon’s power list. In turn, this makes characters with “strongest colour” based powers more predictable counters to those goons. ---

Tapping anywhere on the screen after opening a 10x or 40x pack will take you to the next comic. Awesome! I hated the way they flashed through all of the covers so quickly. Since a 10x is usually a once-a-season treat for me, it’s nice to savor (or sigh at) each cover in the multi-pack. ---

Oh, I’m really glad with this improvements, a big thank you! I was quite annoyed not be able to open each cover one at a time from 10 packs 😉 ---

> [@LakeStone](#): > > - On the PC version of the game, tightened up the selectable area for selecting characters in battle This still seems wonky. You can’t click on the middle character to get that one to move forward. You need to click all the way on the one in the back. If you don’t, you get the character info page for the front-most character. Seems like the hitbox for the front charatcer is too big, and/or the ones for the other two are too small. ---
