Exactly what I wanted to say. at first I thought I was missing something, but she's the same old angela. even with 6 armor breaks the damage is just the same.

Its not. Its not a big increase but she didnt need that. Shes got some cool stuff added now

Yah she has added stuff which I like but the damage feels the same, I was expecting more damage but that’s my fault.

lol how’d they go from saying angela’s gonna be a numbers buff to her damage being the exact same..

Civil Warrior is quite stressful to play

Angela’s damage seems the same

Masacre is easier to keep up the ignition but his incinerates are still short

Hood is way better than I thought

I just did 3 ROL Winter Soldier tests before the update with Angela and 3 tests after the update with Angela. Managed to get these kill times:

Pre buff: 3:44, 3:40, 3:28
After buff: 2:40, 2:55, 2:41

Agree

Masacre update is good if you are a Masacre player. Angela is not much different.

Really dislike the buffs to CW and Hood. If Kabam's idea of a buff is to give champs the ability to deal big damage, but the ramp up isn't worth it, then I wouldn't be ranking and playing the champs. It's one thing to beat up ROL WS with these guys, but am I really going to bring them into any serious content? Doubtful. Again, fully admit, these are initial impressions.

They really should have boosted her special attack damage

Masacre is doing amazing, definitely the best out of the 4. R3 5* Masacre is doing 55k damage into the block when ignited. No suicides.

I haven't tested them quite yet, but they look awesome.

Angela is bugged I think, her damage output feels exactly the same despite aptitudes and armor breaks

i'd love to see a video of that if you could dude. ive got a 5* R3 and my sp2 into block seems to do around 25-30k. not sure why the difference. would love to know how i could play him better

Angela seems very similar, but the damage is a bit higher especially if you stack up the armor breaks. I got up to 7 armor breaks with good uptime spamming special 1. This was against WS though, so I want to use her in other content and see how her other utility feels. Holding out for a 6* to rank though, still don't think I will rank my 5*.

CW definitely his harder, but even with 50 furies, the damage wasn't crazy, decent considering where he came from, but not mind-blowing. Similar to Angela, need to try his utility elsewhere, but I don't feel my 6* is a slam dunk to R2.

Don't play Masacre or Hood much, so no opinions on those.

Are you ignited + the disorient + incinerates? Mine landed around 48k-55k over two hits.

Civil Warrior is *Chef’s Kiss*

The Armor Up conversion to Fury mechanic is no different than Rocket Raccoon’s Shield Changes or Winter Soldier’s Ammunition Swaps — that mechanic has been around for YEARS

It is not complicated. It’s actually one of the easiest and best mechanics out there, because it literally lets you choose how you want to fight

The damage potential, depending on how you play...it’s not going to break the game. My personal assessment after a few fights is that it’s basically mid-tier, maybe a bit above

But to me, that’s all Civil Warrior needed to be AWESOME, because of the utility that the kit had

Love this buff and THANK YOU KABAM

Angela, as noted above by others, feels similar but it isn’t the same. What I like about it, again, is it lets you choose how you want to play by how you choose to proc the buffs.

If you need Fury, proc it. You need Armor Up or Crits, proc it. You need Armor Breaks, proc it. You want to extend and strengthen the buffs, proc it.

I am one of those people who doesn’t need every single character to be the greatest in the game for every single situation. I prefer characters whose kits have decent utility, DPS that I can access that is no worse than average for getting down Cavalier level content, and most importantly, different ways for me to play the kit depending on the situation.

Thus far, for how I perceive games and comics lore as Kabam has applied it to game mechanics, I love how Civil Warrior and Angela were done.

I will withhold my opinions on Hood, because I understand that it’s a sensitive matter for some people. I will say this, though, I always felt his invisibility was OP, based on original lore. He was once only able to be invisible while holding his breath. It was never super long. Effective, but not super long.

Now, I am not saying what Kabam did or didn’t do overall was good or bad. Just saying that tightening up Hood’s invisibility timer....I can see that and agree with it.

ESF

I will try it later, but I THINK, repeat THINK, Civil Warrior might be able to do the 6.2 Sinister fight now? It definitely could be tricky with the poison, but if he’s Awakened and you start with two Armor Ups, then you do some five-hit combos to get to four...the poison maybe shouldn’t proc at all, then you convert the Armor Ups to Furies right before the L1, then drop L1 to get the Armor Ups back, while you Heal Block on Heavies...

I THINK, repeat, THINK, it can be done

I didn't have the disorient

I have angela as a 6 star unawakened so didn't really see much difference.
I liked hood though. He is more fun to play and in buff heavy matchups he does great. His regen is awesome as well.
Masacre has just increased damage so cool as well.
Civil warrior also looks good with those furies.

Angela seems great

I keep seeing people say angela is debuff immune.... my 5* is at sig 140 and she only reduces debuff duration by 29.17%. Is the scaling on her sig ability exponential or something? Max sig 4* is -25% duration. Unless that's a classic kabam typo, you're still taking 75% of the damage. I'm not overwhelmed.

It's per buff. You can get 3 buffs with angela easily.
