Any thoughts on Might and Iso-Burst?

IroManiac

Seems neat to me, wonder if this will be utilized with relics or even be for Defenders too.

As of right now it's meh. If we could choose when to activate it I think it would be alot better

definitely looks interesting. I’m all for them trying out new mechanics to keep things fresh.

The problem will be that it will be the duration of time where the AI is most passive and just turtles.

Yeah.

If we could activate it somehow like we do spirals dancing blades I think it would be great.

Champions and the game in general really doesn't need yet another mechanic that needs to be lined up and timed properly in tandem with 18 other things to see good

I definitely think it looks interesting and all for new ways of trying different things. I also agree this mechanic would definitely be better if we were able to activate it

They did say that there will be strategy to maximise it, so I would like to think there's a level of control whether it be activating after you attack or like draining for each attack you use

Seems interesting on paper. Pity it will be restricted to 7* ascended.

It's really not a pity in the slightest. Starting with 5*, each new rarity of champion has come with a special ability. 5* have the special damage mini-game, 6* added adrenaline healing, 7* added stats focus, and now the iso-burst thing will be the new ability for the next rarity. So clearly they're viewing ascended 7* as a new rarity, so as a new rarity they follow the theme of the last several years - new rarities get new abilities.

It seems 7* Ascension is basically going to take the place of 8* Champs, and while they are inevitable this will extend the life of 7*s for a few more years

I know and I'm not critizicing this established design choice of giving each rarity (and sub-rarity) something unique, I'm simply disappointed that I (and others) won't be able to try a new mechanic that seems way more engaging than the Sp3 minigame, stats focus or adrenaline.

Why would you not be able to try it? Sure, spenders will enjoy it sooner and more abundantly, but they're not locking the mechanic behind an eternal paywall. If you're just talking about being behind in progression compared to others, well there's an easy solution to that. You'll get there eventually.

I was in fact talking about the short term, I should have specified that.

It sounds interesting and if it delays 8 stars I'm all for it. I already have enough 7 stars so I'm more than happy to ascend them to make them better instead of trying to get new 8 star champs again. Now it would be cool if they introduce a mechanic where you can pick prefight one of the main synergy of the champ. A good example would be the Apocalype's Mr. Sinister synergy. That won't break the game but would make him more relevant.

It's no different than not having a7 star at the start of the 7 star cycle
