Marvel Snap New Update on May 16, 2023
Explore exciting new updates in Marvel Snap including cards, general updates, and more!
2023-06-07
Marvel Snap has released yet another exciting patch note update, as they do every month. While the officials did not provide any groundbreaking updates, Kitty Pryde is back in action as promised. On May 16th, 2023 this patch note was released and it's important to discuss the recent developments that have come with this update.
Kitty Pryde is back in Marvel Snap May 2023 update
During the previous update, Marvel Snap removed Kitty Pryde from the game because players were experiencing a significant issue during matches. However, this problem has now been resolved by officials and Kitty Pryde has returned with minor changes. It is anticipated that this will not cause any further problems like before.
The card's power has been adjusted slightly. Previously, the card would return to the player's hand and gain +2 power. However, now when it returns to the player's hand, it gains +2 power but only at the beginning of their turn instead of any time before.
General Update
The following is a list of cards that have been released in a seasonal series drop during the latest patch update.
- Cards dropping from Series 5 to Series 4
- Cards dropping from Series 4 to Series 3
- Cards staying in Series 4
Audio Changes
- Indonesia VO mixed and mastered
- Thanos VO added for Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
- Fixed bug which would over-trigger card flare SFX in collection screen and in-game.
Marvel Snap May 2023 update: Cards Update
Kitty Pryde: 1/0 -> 1/0
A new card design is being introduced with some minor changes to its ability in order to avoid repeating past issues. The Marvel Snap team fulfilled their promise of releasing the Kitty Pryde card by working on it and completing it within a month.
Crystal: 4/4 -> 4/4
Crystal has been one of the few cards with very low play and win rates for a long time, making it an obvious candidate for improvement. The developers considered several options to make Crystal stronger, such as removing limits or increasing the number of cards drawn. However, they realized that they didn't want Crystal's effect to be too powerful since it could affect how SNAP decks are played. These decks only have 12 cards and should not always produce the same outcome. Therefore, they aimed to create a new version of Crystal that would be simple yet enjoyable when combined with other cards in different ways.
Wave: 3/3 -> 3/3
Wave's cost reduction is achieved through various actions that decrease the fees charged on cards. In addition to updating the language used to explain when Wave's effects begin, there has been a significant change made behind-the-scenes. Now, Wave will take into account any outcomes that lower card prices after it has been activated rather than before. This means that while Wave is active, characters like She-Hulk and Death will always have a fee of 4 regardless of other factors.
Although we are aware that this change may make certain decks obsolete, Wave has been too limiting in our ability to incorporate fee reduction as a complementary feature in future designs. Relying solely on Wave is often preferable to building a deck based purely on synergy - the same phenomenon occurred with death upon its release and will continue unless action is taken.
Death: 9/12 -> 8/12
Because Death's current performance is heavily influenced by Wave and Galactus, the goal was to enhance her usability in other decks since the interaction with Wave has changed. However, if this improvement isn't enough and there is a significant decrease in Death's popularity among players, adjustments will be made to ensure that she remains relevant for dedicated destruction-based decks.
White Queen: 4/6 -> 4/6
This is a revised text aimed at clearing up the confusion surrounding White Queen's abilities and how it works with other cards like Widow's Bite. There may be plans to create abbreviations for copying cards into your hand, but currently the focus is on using clear language to describe White Queen's characteristics.
