Here y’all go. Doesn’t sound like any animations have been changed. What’re y’all’s thoughts?

They said they changed the animations

I know they said they hoped to change it on Twitter a while back. But this spotlight doesn’t seem to bear that out. I hope I’m wrong, I’d love to see him get some visual love.

They said VFX I thought? That's not the same as animations necessarily

SpideyFunko

So he seems… alright. I’d need to play with him to make a decision

For the record they didn’t list in ddhk’s spotlight that his animations were changed but they did change then, so I think most likely they changed miles animations.

True, there could just be some more electricity in the air and the visual component for the spider-camo that is mentioned.

Hammerbro_64

Probably some translucent spider camo that resembles invisible woman’s look

FiiNCH

I think he seems pretty good on paper

Could’ve sworn they said animations.

I’m cool if they don’t, I like his current special attacks

My thoughts exactly

Wicket329

Animations aside, he seems like there is potential on paper. I like that the sp2 damage boost is calculated off of debuffs triggered throughout the fight and not just debuffs currently active. Much less stressful, and once it’s ramped up you can just cycle it for maximum damage.

I also like that his missions are things that you would likely be doing anyway. You can go out of your way to do special things to get them done faster, but in most fights you’ll accomplish them within your normal rotation.

105% miss chance against unblockable specials is very cool. I like that a lot. As a defender, he’ll most likely complete 0-2 of his missions, so that’s a 14% evade chance at worst? Not terrible to deal with. A 21% evade safety net as an attacker is also very nice. I hope he has some decent block proficiency since you’ll be wanting to parry at least five times.

Love the taunt. It plays in well with his style of wanting the opponent to throw a bunch of specials so he stays in camo. He is going to be in camo a LOT. I do wish there was another way of triggering it besides heavies, but with proper spacing that can be managed against stun immune opponents.

He has 6 total debuffs in his kit, plus the parry stun for 7. So that sounds like his shock from the sp2 can get a 210% damage increase in a standard match without playing too much with masteries for him. So that’s an almost 15k shock, I believe. Seems neat.

Finally, I’m curious about his power sting. Will it persist across multiple specials from the opponent? It lasts for such a long time, I have a hard time thinking that it only triggers once.

Wicket329

Also, do the passive furies from his signature ability stack? Like, if you line it up so that you complete three spider-challenges rapidly, can you get that fury to stack 3 times for a massive burst of sp2 damage? If so, then he could be extremely cool and fun to play with.

Ercarret

Nothing really stands out as particularly exciting to me, but I'll reserve my judgement until we have the buff in hand. I have an r4 5* that I can play around with when it arrives.

StevieManWonder

Looks pretty good. So far not regretting taking mine to 6r3

magnus_xix

Another science champ who needs a high sig. You love the see it

Chitlins

To me it seems like he has a lot of ramp up each fight and is not very streamlined to have a lot of damage. Has some decent utility. Im also not sure if rupture and shock debuffs scale with AR? If so he might hit pretty hard, but in all honesty at full rampup otherwise, 15k from a sp2 is not that great... but will have to see him in use to have a final judgment.

Just so happens I've been blessed with a natural sig 80 6* Miles. My bad luck better pay off.

If the power sting persists through multiple specials it would actually be very strong combo with taunt. I feel like it wont though. Do other champs have a persistent power sting?

I believe Yellow Jacket does on his sp3, but that’s the only non-node instance of it.

And idk why they would have it last 50 seconds if it didnt persist. Theres no way they would expect a taunted champ to hold a special for that long.

That’s what I’m hoping. If it persists that long, it could result in some gnarly damage. Fighting against someone like Red Hulk or Venom where you just want to keep baiting the sp1, that would be a lot of fun. Could easily finish all of his challenges, stack three furies, and absolutely ruin the opponent

Chitlins

Also he will be #46 for prestige at sig 200 6* r3. Decent but not great.

Yeah, it won't re-apply but you can again if you use another sp3. His buff looks like a well balanced one imo. He doesn't look like an OP champ neither a waste. I will take mine to r3 just cos I love the character and I think at a decent sig level and the longer the fights he can do a lot of damage with his sp2. Quick question though: His sp2 shock potency scales with the number of debuffs apply within the fight, does it like resets to 0 after a sp2 and starts counting again or it continues, anyone?

Edit:
Curious to see if they murdered his other stats like block prof. I pray they didn't but who knows it's Kaboom!

It reads to me like it persists, no reset after use.

Doesn't look like anything special or exciting. I guess we will see how he plays out.

That's interesting, so it will run it's 50sec timer regardless of the number of specials the opponent use. Then they sure should should have included that in his strengths.

This is Kabam we're talking about. We never really know how strong a champion is or how they work until we see gameplay footage.
