These are being updated as they reappear. V30 seems to have fixed the discrepancy between different difficulty tiers.

It seems like those values changed at some point.

I was experimenting with charge speed weapons and found some interesting things:

TL:DW

EDIT 2 – Rana at 34 speed needs 13 tiles to charge!

Edit: Suraya at 43 speed with that maxed yellow 4* weapon is average actually, charges at 11 :ballot_box_with_check:

If someone like SulfreenReactor could investigate how fast their Marigold charges with that purple 5* Inksplosion, that would be awesome (IIRC they’re one of the few player with a v fast hero + 5* speed weapon)

Thanks :slight_smile: those speed values look very handy.

You should be able to work out, if ( X) weapon, will increase your heros speed , with numbers above.

I edited the main post to include the correct charge speeds. Turns out 57 is fast (suppossed to be 9 tiles) but there’s a weird bug where my Catalina isn’t actually charging at fast with the SWAT 3* weapon (some kind of rounding error). Game support is aware and they said they’ve found the issue – most likely V21.6 will include the fix (but no promises).

Also, one of my teammates tested and Marigold does charge at 6 tiles with 80 speed, so we can assume that’s the breakpoint

We’ve only seen green and blue for the Mercenary event, and I have a feeling it’s going to cycle over all 5 colors.

The next color will probably be red, purple or yellow.

A post was merged into an existing topic: Puzzle Combat forums? [Staff response post#10]

This might have changed again, just did a green chest and Area 3 Stage 6 was only 3 to 5 green kills. I checked out the first 12 areas and ran the ones that were all green enemies (albeit only once each) and got this:

Level WE Green Kills Regular or Elite stage
1-4 3 3 Regular
3-6 3 4 Regular
4-3 3 11 Elite
8-4 3 11 Elite
8-5 3 10 Regular
8-7 3 9 Regular
11-1 4 9 Regular
11-4 4 11 Elite
11-5 4 10 Regular
11-7 4 11 Elite
11-9 4 11 Regular

So 4-3 and 8-4 were tied for best today (I know you’ll want more data for a full analysis but maybe this can help people in the meantime)
