A 1 star character? Huh.

3

1* spiderman

4

But…how can it be essential? icon_e_wink.gif

Looks like a character that might be able to combo with another 1* that already has “character specific” tiles it creates?

Edit - Team-mate comments that if so, it already looks better than the 3* counterpart. Let’s see a “Lazy” version of this as the 3* upgrade! icon_e_wink.gif

5

a new…1*? Have I gone back in time a year and a half?

6

Don’t understand the purple progression. Level one creates 2 crits with no “if there are x specials” qualifier, but all above that do 4 but with a qualifier? So potentially zero crits for all but level one?

Edit: you’ll take some heat for adding a 1* at this point, but to me, adding one of the most popular characters ever at the entry level to hook new players makes total sense. Especially if you’re going to do a spidey story event.

7

Miles Morales is my guess.

I hope this isn’t an essential character along with a 2 star as well in a pvp event though.

8

I think it’s that it has the basic affect at level 1, then has an additional effect level 2 and onwards.

9

I think it’s trying to say you always get 2 and you can get 4 crits if there are a decreasing amount of character specific cough web cough tiles for levels 2-4.

10

Level 1 creates 2 tiles at all times. Levels 2-4 create 2 tiles, but an additional 2 if the tile threshold is hit.

11

So 2* Bullseye’s getting a minor buff. I’m sure that won’t be at all irritating for a future 350-scaled Gauntlet node.

12

Hope we see these super awesome damage dealing skills in 3* land too!

13

I hope this isn’t Miles Morales, mostly because he deserves better than being relegated to 1* land.

14

It it not Miles Morales.

This pretty much screams Spiderman to me.

Also, the release of a new 1* right now feels really weird. We get 5 4s in a row, and then a 1 all of a sudden.

17

This keeps the average * ranking of the releases constant.

Also, character is Pizza Dog, and the Character Unique tiles are clearly pizza slices. I want to believe.

18

Look on the bright side…his roster slot costs the same! icon_e_biggrin.gif

19

Being a 1*, you’ll be seeing enough of the character in Standards that picking them up when you have a spare slot shouldn’t be a huge deal in any case.

20

I’m going to build one speced at 544 just so I can remember what it’s like to build a character from scratch in a week instead of a year.
