Falcon Skills

Yellow (Passive) - Inspiration - Improves all friendly strike/attack/protect tiles by 30% (40% at 2 covers) on a yellow match.

Blue (Passive) - Redwing - If player holds at least 8 Blue AP, then an enemy protect/strike tile will be canceled and converted into a 4 turn cooldown timer for the skill (2 Covers - cancels attack tiles)

Purple (12 AP) - Bird Strike - Creates 9 random protect tiles with strength 5 (at level 15). Creates 11 random tiles at 2 purple covers.

Devil Dino…Nuff Said!

Hoping for some good isos and I dread the new level scaling… 400 icon_e_surprised.gif

4

Looking forward to it, am curious as to what are Falcon’s abilities.

All we know from IceIX’s teaser is that his powers are Blue (passive), Yellow (passive) and Purple

5

So if I remember correctly, the hunt was 3 subs running simultaneously, one sub every 16 hours with 8 hour refreshes?

6

There was a short main sub that was used to unlock three subs that cycled asynchronously, every 36 hours I believe. There are points in time where 2 of them overlap briefly.

7

Man, Lazy Daken is REALLY lazy. He keeps no-showing these events.

8

I remember mHawkeye, Punisher (I believe) and IW being required in the most recent iteration. Definitely forgetting someone else… Oh, GSBW. Wonder if they rotate characters this time around.

9

Yeah, 3 subs at a time, 36 hours each, each of them offset by 12 hours, I believe. Between 3 and 6 repeatable missions per sub, with most missions being non-repeatable.

10

That’s right. There was one day where four subs were running simultaneously. That was near-burnout.

11

This was the event where IW was required for a node or two right?

12

A Punisher PvP is listed on the news page as upcoming, so he is likely to be featured given current trends on awarded covers being required for subsequent events.

13

The first time, yes. I don’t think she was required the last time it was ran, as the required character was changed to someone else. Forget who, though.

14

I really enjoyed the last ‘Hunt’, featuring Ares I believe.
I hope this one will be nice too

As I remember, I’d said, required characters in this last Hunt were IW/Punisher/Captain America
PS very curious to see Falcon’s stats & powers

15

Interesting that falcon beats out überdåkęn. It’s starting to feel like a horror movie and daken’s gonna pop out and get me any second! Stupid daken…

16

Any idea on how the roster will work? Will it be a limited roster, or will there just be a set of powered up characters?

17

Only Heroics have a limited roster, so no, a bunch of buffed characters and everyone available besides the usual villains (Yelena, Moonie, etc.).

18

Well guys, you wanted a hardcore event with all the subs and now you got it. inb4 mass complaining next week of burnout from a 10 day event that has infinite subs. I think based off of current rubberbanding mechanics, since the main bracket didn’t have repeatable nodes, rubberbanding is going to be based off of subevent scores, so you need to do well in all of the subs in order to do well in the main event. Unless they pull a hulk on us and make main event nodes grindable, in which case LazyThor save us all…

19

Hoping for as little grinding and as many non-repeatable missions as possible :S

(oh and also hoping for NOT insane scaling >.>)

20

Unless scale-ing is a new power they’ve given Devil Dino I’m ok with not seeing any of it icon_mrgreen.gif
