Marvel Snap Full February 21 Patch Notes

GENERAL UPDATES

Some cards have dropped from Series 5 to Series 4 or from Series 4 to Series 3.

• Series 5 to 4:
  • Silver Surfer
  • Knull
  • Darkhawk
  • Sentry
• Series 4 to 3:
  • Agent Coulson
  • Maria Hill
  • Helicarrier
• Series 5 and Series 4 now have shared rotation protection in the Token Shop.
• Added a confirmation dialog when purchasing Season Pass levels.
• Tapping the Credits or Gold icons at the top of the screen will navigate to the Shop.

ART & VISUAL EFFECTS

• Made Onslaught VFX faster (especially for Bar Sinister).
• Added additional VFX to the location affected by Klaw’s ability.
• Added a notification for when you try and discard while your hand is empty.
• Added animation for Rickety Bridge location.
• Mysterio’s Illusions will now use your Mysterio’s variant.

CARD UPDATES

• Darkhawk: 4/1 -> 4/0
• Dev Comment: Darkhawk is an especially powerful card. As we prepared this balance change before the Silver Surfer and Zabu nerfs went live, we didn’t want to hit him too hard. However, we definitely felt that knocking off at least one Power from him is warranted, and we will continue to monitor his performance.
• Thanos: 6/8 -> 6/11
• Dev Comment: We think Thanos is one of the coolest cards, and we’re a bit sad that he himself isn’t played often. Most Thanos decks focus primarily on making good use of the stones, but we want to make sure the mad titan himself has enough Power to play.
• Sandman: 4/1 -> 5/5
• Dev Comment: Many of the strongest decks right now have strategies centered around playing multiple cards on turn 6. Sandman should be a good answer to these decks, but he didn’t quite have the sand to stand up to them with his previous statline. We’re giving him a bit more Power to make him a more competitive card, but also subsequently bumping up his Cost.
• Dev Comment: The cards below are rather weak at the moment, so we’re giving them a small buff to help them perform a bit better.
• Spider-Woman: 5/7 -> 5/8
• Namor: 4/5 -> 4/6
• Dagger: 2/1 -> 2/2
• Text-Only Update to Yondu: Destroy the top card of your opponent’s deck.
• Dev Comment: Yondu’s text now accurately describes his effect. Please remember that most triggered and Ongoing effects are not active while a card is still in your deck, so despite the word “Destroy”, Yondu can remove Colossus and Wolverine with impunity.
• Text-Only Update: As an ongoing effort to improve card and location text, we’ve adjusted everything that currently says “When you play a card” to say “After you play a card” instead. We hope this makes it clearer that these abilities trigger once a card has been fully played, including its On Reveal effects. None of these are functional changes.
• • Angela
  • Bishop
  • Iron Fist
  • Lockjaw
  • Titania

LOCATION UPDATES

• Sakaar: After this turn, put a card from each player’s hand here.
• Sakaar has a lot of weird interactions with cards like Storm and Wave as a consequence of revealing a card mid-turn. While we’re sad to lose the exciting moment of Sakaar revealing, we want to avoid these confusing interactions going forward. We think this design will also open up some interesting interaction points in the early game.
• As a note, Sakaar in the introductory missions will retain the old effect.
• Text-Only Update: As noted in Card Updates, the following locations are being revised to use “After” instead of “When” for triggers related to playing a card. None of these are functional changes.
  • Altar of Death
  • Bar Sinister
  • Cloning Vats
  • Danger Room
  • Death’s Domain
  • Lechuguilla
  • Luke’s Bar
  • Machineworld
  • Orchis Forge
  • Quantum Tunnel
  • Shuri’s Lab
  • Sinister London
  • Vibranium Mines
  • Vormir
  • Adjusted the cost of Klyntar’s Symbiote from 1 to 4.
