Throne Breaker EQ - Do 7* have higher power gain?

Leanbison

Playing Thronebreaker EQ and noticed that a five hit combo was pushing the defender to an SP1. Is this an attribute of 7*’s or is this just something that happens to make the EQ more challenging.
Since the AI doesn’t reliably through specials anymore this could get annoying. I was dancing around trying to bait specials and starting nodding off cause it was taking so long. If this is the new norm I guess the challenge will be to stay awake long enough to explore the content.

We don’t have enough information on 7* yet to know for sure, but they shouldn’t. Power gain is consistent across all rarities and is determined by the rank of the champion. So a rank 5 6* is going to gain power faster than a rank 4 6*, but at the same rate as a rank 5 5*. Were you noticing this in specific fights or across the board? What were the nodes when you were noticing it?

If you want an answer you gotta provide defender and nodes.

So I just went to check it out. Cavalier VS Thronebreaker. The Medusa in the first science chapter is a good example. In Cav she is a 6* rank 2 and it takes 9 hits to push her to sp1. In Thronebreaker sh is a 7* rank 2 and takes 7 hits to push to sp1. The other difference I found is that as 7 a star she is rank 2 of 6, instead of the rank 5 max of a six star. So maybe there is a difference in power gain with 7 stars. (This node does have the opponent get a power gain but my examples happened before she got the power gain buff)

I remember thinking the same thing. There were a couple of paths where I re-read the nodes to see if there was any enhanced power gain and there wasn't.
