Marvel Snap update nerfs Onslaught, Angela, Mysterio and more

MarvelSnap’s latest update brings with it two new pools of cards, a new kind of earnable currency, and some fairly impactful changes to existing cards. All of those changes are nerfs, and they’re to popular cards like Angela, Mysterio, and Onslaught. They’ll probably impact at least one deck you rely on for Marvel Snap, so here’s what to know before you go into your next match.

Angela is having her power reduced from 1 to 0, seemingly because, well, she’s just too popular. “Angela is a card that sees a lot of prevalence across many decks,” Marvel Snap developer Second Dinner said in the game’s patch notes, “so we’re nerfing her a bit to make other options more appealing.”

Destroyer’s power hits are also being reduced from 16 to 15 slightly. “Lowering his power by 1 will give opponents more of a chance to win the Location he’s played to,” the developer says. Mysterio who uses illusions at all locations also takes a 1-power hit. “[T]hose extra 2/0 Illusions end up being quite beneficial, so we’re lowering his base Power,” the developer explains. Sera likewise gets a 1-power hit, merely for being “slightly too good right now.”

Finally, the all-powerful Onslaught, who can put big power numbers on the board thanks his ability to double other cards’ ongoing effects, gets a major adjustment. Onslaught’s ability now stacks additionally (instead of exponentially) with effects from cards like Mystique or locations like Onslaught’s Citadel. This will result in fewer location blowouts and less watching. OtherThe ability to perform over and again (and over) is what we all have.

There’s a lot more — including a new Nick Fury card in the pool 3 collection — to digest in the game’s full patch notes.

Marvel SnapIt is now available on Android, iOS and Windows PC.
