April 26 Affiliation Stats

  Welcome to the April 26 stats article and first of please excuse the delay. I was away on a family trip last weekend and didn't have the time or the head to write.  Regular readers will know the drill: first we cover All Events (AE) and further down Rated Singles Events (RSE).  To compare results you can check out the March 26 stats article.  All Events AE:  Simsala Bam. Convocation casts it's was all the way to the top. The kick in the nuts of seeing (not even confirmed to be affiliated) Wiccans planned release to be in 2027 has apperantly made them so angry that they won an enormous 65% of their games.  Namor is fair and balanced and doesn't need touches in the June Updates. Or something like that. SHIELD will also most likely love the new crisis rotation. Apocalypse is going to have his leadership adjusted "slightly but in a meaningful way". He enjoys his time in the sun as long as it lasts.  Logan the Wolverine and Weapon X dominate the game! Th...

Operation Zero Tolerance Crisis Cards and Challenger Rotation revealed

  After leaks seen on Reddit and a premature article on Goonhammer already spoiled all the crisis cards in the Operation Zero Tolerance Crisis Pack AMG gave them to us in the Panel to Play and topped it off with showing us what the Challenger Rotation will be once it releases (June 12th).  Let's take a look at every new crisis and what goes into an out of the rotation in June. The good news first: all 10 Crisis Cards in Operation Zero Tolerance will be in the rotation.  Not really new since we have it since Ministravaganza 25 but it will be the first time we can have it on an official physical copy. Experiences have been very mixed with Jailbreak. It has a feels bad mechanic where you might actively hinder your own chances to win when you remind your opponent to not go into the "drop zone" or kind of Gotcha them when you don't.  A triple midline Source Extract appears to be extremely fighty but it does balance that out by giving the carrier a defense reroll.  I ...

What changes I expect/would make for every character

  With the big character update in June that will change 85% of the characters according to multiple interviews with AMG (mostly but not exclusively in person of Will Shick). That's also the reason that the Affiliation Overviews are still waiting for their updates as well.  In the meantime I think it is fun to go over every character in the game and talk about my expected changes. I have no inside knowledge so this is going to be speculation with some snippets of stuff AMG has told us about in the interviews.  It's probably a good idea to have the  Characters list  open to see what some of the changes are.  Strap in, this will be a long one:  Characters (230) Abomination (5) No changes. He's perfect the way he is.  Adam Warlock (7) No changes. It's pretty clear that his entire pack was designed with the new Stamina baseline in mind.  Agent Venom (4) 7/6 Stamina. It's going to be interesting if he is actually touched as he was already in last ...
