Hey everyone, hoping you can help with some research and validation before taking this to Kabam. I think that Psylocke's crit damage bonus from her sig and passive ability is somehow broken or at least massively wrecked by diminishing returns.

Check out the video below of The Analyzer vs Red Hulk with 5-Star SL. Synergy team is Mag/Cyc/YJ/AM. The very first hit of the fight is a medium crit for 2,500 damage. The 8th hit is a light crit for over 1,900 damage. Red Hulk has 2 heat charges active.

I took my 5-star R4 duped Psylocke to the same Red Hulk with the same synergies. With 2 heat charges and Red Hulk locked at zero power, she crits for 1,796 on a light at

Just throwing some thoughts out there to start a discussion regarding the current and near-future state of the 5-Star system.

Disclosure: I am 1/1 on featured crystals, with a mostly underwhelming roster of base 5-Stars: triple-duped Jugg, triple-duped BP, duped Storm, duped IP, Mags, Spidey, Cyclops, IM, MK.

My general vibe for the current 5-Star system is that it requires far too much hoarding and is far too punishing when lady luck is not on your side.

For an "upper middle-class" type of player like myself, it takes roughly 3-4 weeks to earn 10,000 shards. Diggity Dave proved that 10,000 is possible in 2 weeks with some luck from 4-Star dupes and a helpful calendar, but realistically

I'm not a very patient person so I wrapped up 100% exploration of 5.2 today and my god was it horrible. I thought I'd help people out with tips where I can, although it is almost guaranteed to drain your stash and units no matter your skill level. I think someone said they did it for 300 units and I have to say that's one of the more impressive feats I've heard in this game. Anyway, here's a rundown by quest:

Main champs used: R3 5* BP, R4 4* Hyperion, R5 CapWWII, R4 5* Psylocke, R5 Voodoo, R5 Thor, R5 Ultron, R5 Vision, R5 Daredevil

• 5.2.1: This one is easy. Hyperion was a workhorse here, as was Black Panther to just bleed them dry without specials. Thor is good too since just a

What is the coolest/funniest/most interesting thing that you've seen happen when Quake's Aftershock kicks in and stuns the opponent while they're starting or right in the middle of a special attack?

• I was fighting IP once and it stunned him at the exact instant his L1 beam hit me. It didn't cause any damage despite hitting me and Quake glowed blue and red for the rest of the fight.
• Another time I was fighting Magneto and it stunned him as he started his L1. It still formed the ball of metal and threw it at me despite him just standing there.

Any other interesting ones?

A couple weeks ago I posted a thread for predicting the inevitable bugs of the first round of AQ Season 4. There were lots of good guesses, but amazingly even in 55 comments from across the community no one could predict a fuck-up as extraordinary as what actually happened. In our wildest dreams we couldn't guess that we would be completely locked out of AQ for 8+ hours. Truly remarkable.

Anyway... there were a couple of at least partially correct guesses. They are:

• jsbginni guessed that milestone rewards would be messed up. Apparently milestones were set too high in Advanced bracket and AQ Completion event milestone events yielded nothing for a while. Counting this as a winner.
• whaler

Is anyone else noticing that power drainers like Vision and Psylocke drain around half the amount of power they should vs Symbioids?

For example, I was fighting a skill Symbioid in AQ with Vision and hit him with an L1 when he had just under 1 bar of power. This would normally take him to zero power but it only took him to half a bar.

It happens to me vs every class of Symb. I know that Mystic Symbs on Map 5 have increased power gain but that shouldn't affect the amount drained anyway.

Just thought of a fun game: I will gift 3 energy refills each to whoever can correctly predict a bug in the first round of AQ Season 4.

 

Terms and conditions below:

Wow, 3 WHOLE energy refills??? Easy big spender... Yup, I'm F2P these days and saving up for some masteries/to explore LoL someday.

What if there are literally dozens of bugs? This seems likely. Only the top 3 correctly predicted bugs will be rewarded. Rank rewards, if you will.

Wait, how will you rank the bugs? In order of how little testing would have been required by Kabam to discover it. This will be a bit subjective, of course.

 

I'll gift a bonus 3 refills to whoever can provide the

Voodoo is amazing of course but is anyone else experiencing an issue where his special attacks get blocked frequently, regardless of combo length?

I've tried 2, 3, 4 and 5 hit combos, ending with M or L and no matter what they seem to get blocked randomly. This applies to L1 and L2.

Anyone else? Has anyone found a reliable way to avoid this?

First of all, I want to say thanks for all of the positive feedback on my Psylocke review last Thursday. I'll gladly review all new champs as soon as I get them, however you may be waiting a while considering this was the first time I've ever gotten a champ the week of their release haha.

Anyway, my girl Psylocke and I spent a long weekend together and I'm not sure the relationship is going to make it. The good thing about her is she does three very useful things: power lock, power drain and defensive ability reduction (when duped). The bad thing is, there are other champs that do each of these things much better and more easily.

I think that Kabam tweaked her a bit to avoid making her too

I completed the "easy" path in LoL recently and received a Mutant awakening gem. I decided Psylocke seemed the most interesting of this new batch, so I went for it and got her with my first crystal. Awakened to lvl 8 and ranked up to 3/45. Here are some initial thoughts:

I took her into RoL vs Winter Soldier and it was good fun. The simplified strategy is to bait his L1 twice and fire your L1 immediately after his second L1. This drains him to zero power and he is stuck at zero power infinitely unless you get hit. Part of her sig ability is increased crit damage when they are low on power, so her light crits were about 1,500 and mediums were around 2,700. A crit from her L2 was almost 9,000
