Power of darkness is OP

How much stats does this skill adds? My opponent's flight uses pod and it's faster than my pure S neon in the next turn. I don't have past level 40 stats of these monsters, but looking at the level 40 pure S stats of these 2, flight only has 81 speed while neon has 109. So pod adds >20 stats?!

IMO this skill is really OP. A pure S flight using POD can easily clear up to 3 of my pure S flights. And POD is really hard to get now with the increased difficulty of maps + advanced skill chests. Does anyone else feels the same?

Re: Power of darkness is OP

I SO wish you didn't post this. xD
I am one of the people who uses a Power of Darkness Flight and yes, it is excellent.

I must say, in 1v1, my Flight can take out a lot of monsters.
However, it is still slower than an S Neon after Power of Darkness.
Maybe this is just another bug there. It occasionally attacks first but most of the time when I face pure S Neons that it attacks after it. Another bug, I suppose? Let's wait for the fix for it. ^^

I think a Stat Increase adds 50%
Use POD twice and Stats are Doubled.

Re: Power of darkness is OP

Power Of Darkness may only be used once per battle. I think that this makes it okay. xD

Even though it may only be used once per battle, the stats increase is really too much!! IMO it is too gamebreaking to be allowed. Any other advanced spells don't allow your grade S monsters to clear 3 of your opponent's grade S monsters.

I'm not sure if they did change the stats increased post-patch, but I didn't get to notice this prior to v1.2 because the AI wouldn't use POD in ladder and PVP was too dead. So my suggestion to the HM team is to nerf the stats increase from POD. Anyone else who notices/agrees with this please back me up! This game shouldn't be a "get this spell and own" game.

Re: Power of darkness is OP

I also agree with this. A lvl 37 Flight with POW can kill my lvl 42 S Flight, lvl 42 S smiter and Almost beat my S Champ lvl 41. IMO, monsters shouldn't be able to use stat increase and healing skills like soak and photosynthesis in the ladder since an S Flight with POW and Soak basically wipes out my whole team.

Re: Power of darkness is OP

This was the same as before. I don't think it's going to be as game breaking as you think. It will be extremely hard to get because of the luck needed, not just to get a Advanced Ghost Chest but also to get it from that.
It is very useful but I do think that there are counters for it - since I don't always win and nor does the only other person in my server always win.

But yes, it is very powerful.

Re: Power of darkness is OP

If the Inverse Mystery Talent Affects All Monsters in battle , then it would be Funny that a Common Monster like Powch counters this OP Skill....

Re: Power of darkness is OP

The only slight problem I have with this is that it seems that we are getting to the point where every powerful attack should be nerf-ed. I just don't want a game where I don't have something to look forward to - to get me motivated.

What can Power Of Darkness be changed to, though?
Every update will be met with overpowered moves. I think it's finding a counter for those that will be good. Otherwise, it will literally just be so neutral that only the line up of your team will determine whether you win or not.
- just my opinion. Also, this is not because I have it. It's just that I felt the same way with Adaptability (although that was in another league).

Re: Power of darkness is OP

Juni, yes, that's one of the counters I was talking about.

Invalidate will also be good.

As I said, it's good but there are counters for it.
It's TOO early after the update to think of changing another move because it's powerful.
