The latest OTA update “Marvel Snap” brings back the era of Ultron
It never disappoints: Shaun releases a brand new deckbuilding guide for (free), and the next day there is a recent balancing patch. These are simply the rules of the universe, my friends. This is one of the OTA (over-the-air) updates that comes several times a month and due to this fact actually adjusts some values on several tabs. That said, it is a game where adjusting values could make big changes to the way you play. Let’s have a look and see what’s in it, together with a little bit evaluation.
I feel this time we’ll have a look at nerfs first. Lady Deathstrike had a fairly successful makeover last month, and consequently, she’s appearing increasingly more regularly. It looks like it has been too successful, so it’s losing some of its power. Goes from 5-Cost 7-Power to 5-Cost 6-Power, with no change to her abilities. Since her skills largely determine her popularity, I feel she will handle even this loss of power.
Darkhawk’s latest nerf bumped it as much as 5-cost, which apparently still wasn’t enough to stop it. This means he’ll take a success elsewhere, and that can indeed occur this patch. Fortunately, his skills remain intact. It goes from 5-Cost 4-Power to 5-Cost 3-Power, and it’s one other balance change that I do not think will hurt the character an excessive amount of. I imagine we’ll still be eating so much of rocks.
OK, all you lovers here. The first one is a bit of a give and take, but I feel it’s good for the card in query. Leech’s skill change a while ago caused him to lose popularity, and it is easy to see why. Now he only hits cards face-up, and doing it on turn five just is not as world-record-breaking because it once was. With this in mind, Leech goes from 5-cost 3-power to 4-cost 2-power, making it much easier for him to get out earlier in the turn if you happen to want.
Psylocke and Sauron may join hands this time as they each see the previous nerfs roll back. Psylocke is once more a 2-cost, 2-power card, so that you’re now not limited to 1 power. Sauron also regains a Power point, going from 3-Cost 2-Power to 3-Cost 3-Power. offer for either side that will lead to Sauron’s return. Psylocke never really left, but I do not mind if she’s a little bit stronger.
There is little question that Klaw is usually a difficult card to make use of. Its cost is 5 and its power is 4. It has a continuous ability that adds power to the location to the right of it. Before this update, the amount of Power he added was +6. Now adds +8. Will this make individuals who have not used it before give it a probability? We’ll see, I suppose, but I feel he’ll proceed to be mostly omitted in favor of other, more versatile 5-cost cards.
The biggest buff on this update, and the one with the most potential to explode in the Second Supper’s face, is to Ultron. I understand the considering behind it. He is a giant bad player who was played so much, but over time for various reasons his level dropped significantly. I think this can change now. Previously he would summon Drones to fill each location, each with 1 cost 1 power, now he sends out several upgraded models with 1 cost 2 power. These can still be buffed Patriots and Kazars, so you’ll need as much as 4 additional Power points per location in comparison with previous locations. They are still vulnerable to aspects that break 1-cost cards, but it is a big move and I’d like to see the results.
That’s all for this OTA update to . What do you consider these changes? Will these affect any of your decks? Are you considering trying out any of the buffed cards? Let us know in the comments below!
