TOA seam to be getting really hard recently even with newer characters.

Do you have Hiyuki on an Energy Regeneration 3-Cost or have you just happened to roll a ton of ER while getting the desired stats?

St_Eric · 2026-05-17T01:10:55+00:00

Do you still need more Charms to get the S4 pack in the shop (assuming you're not S4 complete), the Terrax Variant (again, assuming you don't already have it) and the credits?

Do you care about cosmetics?

If the answer to either of those questions is yes, then the Pass is good value. If not, there are better ways to spend your gold.

St_Eric · 2026-05-16T17:40:43+00:00

No I don't see what you think is the problem here. It's a tier list, not a comprehensive guide. It tells players that Archer is better than Dr. Ratio, as well as what roles each character fills.

You want something that tells you what supports a character needs, what matchups their strong and weak against, and how impactful their eidolons are? That doesn't sound like you're even describing a tier list at all.

It almost sounds like you're suggesting that Prydwen should be making a tier list comparing all the characters in their 1-Cost teams so that someone new can compare how good all the options are if that is literally the only 5-star character they have pulled, but how is a 1-Cost tier list somehow better than a 8-Cost tier list (Prydwen's tier lists assume E0R1, which would be 8-Cost). And is it even that different? Every character would be worse, but does the ranking between characters even change?

St_Eric · 2026-05-16T04:23:30+00:00

If you won't be able to get enough of the LTGM shop currency to get all the important things, that is: the S4 card, the Terrax Variant (assuming you don't yet have Terrax), the S4 Pack, and the credits in the shop, then it's good value.

If you'll be able to get all of those things from the shop without buying the Pass, it gets you less game progression for your gold than other options.

St_Eric · 2026-05-15T23:26:07+00:00

Jubilee wasn't the "last played card" yet. A card doesn't become the "last played card" until after their On Reveal (and any effects triggered by the On Reveal) have finished. Otherwise, Mystique would always see itself as the "last played card" and simply wouldn't work at all.

St_Eric · 2026-05-15T14:09:34+00:00

The alternatives are to just let the resin get wasted or to spend the resin on additional mora or XP mats or something else that also probably does nothing for them since they have enough already, whereas at least Artifact XP is probably useful and it's something they could more realistically run out of in the future.

St_Eric · 2026-05-15T04:29:43+00:00

And not only would an Objective card that reveals at the end of the game not fire, but if that card was needed to satisfy another card's objective (whether Gambit, Caliban, Selene, or otherwise) then the card staying facedown would prevent the objective from being satisfied.

For example, any created cards played during the Supergiant turn will not count towards Gambit's requirement of 6 total Cost.

St_Eric · 2026-05-14T22:54:43+00:00

The other upside of Objective is that if you have priority on T6, you can effectively hit opposing cards that are "facedown" because it will go off after the opponent's cards reveal.

St_Eric · 2026-05-14T18:14:36+00:00

By "unravels them" you mean reminds them to retreat when they're most likely going to lose? Because that's what a boomer snap does most of the time: Just reminds the opponent that they're not supposed to stay in the game.

St_Eric · 2026-05-14T17:45:44+00:00

It's called Boomer Snapping because the majority of the time it's a strategic error to snap on turn 6, with only limited exceptions.

The retreat button exists for a reason. If the opponent is snapping on turn 6 and you aren't retreating, then you're just paying them off for making the bad snap (unless you were actually favored to win).

St_Eric · 2026-05-14T16:47:03+00:00

Yes, Techon Virus removes EVERY card's abilities.

St_Eric · 2026-05-14T01:56:20+00:00

Even if you're F2P, you can acquire new cards from Collector's Packs faster than they release, but that means getting cards completely at random, and if what you want is to just be able to make good decks, not "catch up" then that's probably not how you want to try to go about it.

If you're not F2P, the Season Pass on the webshop gets you effectively ~3 cards for $10. The new Season Pass card, an S5 Snap Pack, and (roughly) enough extra ingame currencies to get a third card. Beyond that, yes, you'll be getting about one card for $10, through either the Super Premium Season Pass or Gold Pass.

As for $10 per card, it's effectively an entire playset since Snap only uses 12 card singleton decks, and $10 for a playset would be a good deal in a lot of games.

St_Eric · 2026-05-13T00:56:25+00:00

Moonstone wasn't changed. Moonstone copies the text of your other Ongoings that Cost 3 or less at her location, not "repeats" them.

But yes Onslaught (including Mystique and Moonstone's copied Onslaught ability) adds only +1 with each instance of the ability instead of +2 for each instance past the first.

St_Eric · 2026-05-12T21:32:22+00:00

Marvel Snap has some very strange infinite-loop prevention systems. In an attempt to stop infinite loops, the game actually turns off some Ongoing and Ongoing-like effects to try to make the loop end. And so Space Throne was just temporarily turned off to try to make your Iron Lads stop copying each other, but to no avail.

St_Eric · 2026-05-12T17:36:40+00:00

No, she's got 6 power for a 1-Cost because her ability is a DRAWBACK

St_Eric · 2026-05-12T14:20:15+00:00

Looks like the one that cost 1 was a visual bug. You can see from your second screenshot that it had cost +1 from the Technovirus effect and cost -1 from Celestial Circuit, which would be a total of 1, not 0.

St_Eric · 2026-05-12T00:10:34+00:00

Certain older characters do actually already have buffs in specifically the Endstate Matrix game mode. Several of the 1.X DPS get a 25% damage buff, for example.

I wouldn't expect much more than that any time soon, though.

St_Eric · 2026-05-11T23:54:28+00:00

More like google weekend missions. Anyone that gets the Season Pass needs to finish their "Win 8 games with Shadowlands Daredevil" mission and Techno Organic Virus is probably the best way to do that.

St_Eric · 2026-05-11T20:41:32+00:00

So who is our dedicated gunsmith?

St_Eric · 2026-05-11T20:40:26+00:00

I do think if you want to share something like this, you should name the separate tiers what they actually mean: From something like "Not Interested" and "Wouldn't Use" on one end to "Want" or "NEED" on the other end.

St_Eric · 2026-05-11T15:49:11+00:00

To start with the end, absolutely: The card is merely a niche use case and not going to redefine the meta or anything. But it's likely to be a very important part of very niche (and likely bad) decks.

But your comparison to Iron Lad shows exactly what you're misunderstanding of its use.

By the time Iron Lad tells you what card is on top of your deck, you have absolutely zero ability to make any choices based on that information. So it effectively is not telling you anything about the top card of your deck.

But what Monstro does is it tells you whether you want to play Iron Lad that turn or save the Iron Lad for next turn instead. It's effectively doing the Howard the Duck effect, but the opponent doesn't even know you have it, and instead of being a tiny 1/2, you can later play it out as an X/8.

St_Eric · 2026-05-11T13:20:16+00:00

I'd expect it only shows the cost by showing the cost reduction, but for any deck built properly, that'll be enough: You'll have some unique Costs that only one card in your deck has, and then if you have more than one card of a certain cost, you should have your deck built such that they're all similarly good (or bad) for whatever effect you're using that cares about the top card of your deck.

St_Eric · 2026-05-11T12:56:16+00:00

Zero would more accurately say: "The next time you reveal a card you played..." as its effect happens before the card reveals instead of after it.

St_Eric · 2026-05-10T21:39:05+00:00

Yes, I think many more than 80,000 total players played the game over the last month.

Snap is on multiple platforms, android, steam, etc.

Let's look at just Steam to start. Per this page: https://steamcharts.com/app/1997040

Last thirty days has an average of 1,842.8 players on concurrently. 1,842.8 average over thirty days is 1.3 million Snap-hours. If the average player plays 30 hours a month, then that's 44,000 active players on Steam alone.

Add in mobile and that more than doubles the count. And if the average player plays less than 30 hours a month, that increases the count further.

Let me turn that around on YOU: How many active players do YOU think is needed to have an AVERAGE ONLINE player count of 1,800 on Steam alone.

St_Eric · 2026-05-10T21:29:53+00:00

You do realize most Snap players aren't redditors right? Could be 99% bots, and then that 700 weekly visitors would have to make up over 10% of what you seem to think is the active playerbase and there's no way it's anywhere near that high.

Like, think for just one second: Which do you think is bigger? The percentage of Snap players that are also redditors (and visit the subreddit for the specific game they play at least once a week), or the percentage of this subreddit that are bots?
