Question about Role Reversal

I now it impacts the attack of both champs, but does it reverse class advantages as well? For example, Nick Fury's reduced tactical charges when fighting mutant champs.

Asking because of something in the Doombot descriptions I read about extra abilities they get when they have a class advantage.

    I should I think

    No it doesn't. So you might want to be careful taking on Electro with a mystic champion, for example.

    Try taking Bishop against a Tech champ and see if he can gain Prowess, if you want to test it out.

    Sometimes, like with Slow debuffs from She Hulk and Stealth Spidey, they talk about 'Natural Class Advantage'. I suspect most specific strengths/weaknesses work the same way, and ignore any Role Reversal nodes.

    As @Magrailothos said, it does not. Those abilities will still affect the Class they say in the way they say they will. For instance, Omega Red will still place spores slower on Tech Champions, even with Role Reversal, and Sentinel will still gain double Analysis Charges against Mutants.

    Omega is robots not techs mikey

    Most (or all ?) of champs Ability Descriptions spell out the actual Class Name of those they have benefits or negative benefits against. Like Black Widow specifically says against Science (+) and Mutant (-).

    So those will NOT change dues to a Role Reversal node.

    My bad. I always use Sentinel against him, so I mixed that up

    Bow about match up against Thanos? He had class advantage against all classes, does role reversal modifier in AQ reverses that too?

    Role reversal only changes the attack bonus/reduction. Nothing ability wise when it comes to specific classes

    Alsokeep in mind that the Superior / Universal class still has advantage, even if there is a role reversal node

    Thanks for clarification. Helpful!

    I think that's the first time one of the mods has name-checked one of my answers. I must be getting the hang of this!
