Marvel Snap players have found a legitimate way to raise Black Panther’s power level to over 600,000, practically breaking the game in the process.
As reported by Polygon, who encountered the combo first hand, combining Black Panther with Wong, Ironheart, Odin, and the Onslaught’s Citadel location brings its power level to 689,730.
That’s at least the number Marvel Snap landed on after it freaked out a little, and even then its numbers showed up completely stretched out and outside the allocated space. For those unfamiliar, Marvel Snap power levels usually range from single digit totals to potentially 20 or 30 if a card is very good, making the 600,000 number an eye-watering amount.
The combo isn’t even particularly hard to pull off, you just need the right cards and location. Black Panther’s ability doubles his current power when he’s revealed; Ironheart adds two power to three random teammates; and Wong triggers reveal abilities twice.
The Onslaught’s Citadel location doubles ongoing abilities, meaning Wong’s, so each on reveal essentially happens four times. The combo is then completed when Odin is played, who on reveal triggers all allies’ reveal abilities again.
Basically, Black Panther’s power level gets doubled again and again and again, plus a few more times, eventually resulting in the ridiculously high number.
An update was released for Marvel Snap on November 30, adding a ton of new cards and a new way to earn them. It’s unclear if this combo will be nerfed in an upcoming update, but since it’s all within the rules of the game, and not just an exploit or glitch, it would be fairly hard to limit.
In our 8/10 review, IGN said: “Marvel Snap packs bold ideas, deep gameplay, a punchy presentation and lots of love for Marvel. Its approach to building a collection and randomness in gameplay won’t be for everyone, but it’s still well worth playing.”
