Piecing Together MARVEL Puzzle Quest: High Evolutionary (Classic) & High Evolutionary (Awesome Mix Vol. 3)
High Evolutionary (Classic) and High Evolutionary (Awesome Mix Vol. 3) seek to evolve MARVEL Puzzle Quest!
Herbert Wyndham is his name, and evolution is his game. Inspired by Nathaniel Essex (who you may know as the dastardly Mister Sinister), Wyndham has been obsessed with the concept since a young age. Then, all his dreams came true when a chance encounter with an Inhuman allowed him to unlock the secrets of genetic modification. Taking on the name High Evolutionary (Classic), he uses his abilities to evolve—and devolve—life in pursuit of his agenda to improve all life into his idea of the "perfect" form, which has caused its fair share of chaos for both heroes and villains alike.
Likewise, High Evolutionary (Awesome Mix Vol. 3) is obsessed with creating a "perfect" race in the galaxy... at least until his experiments on living beings leads to a confrontation with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
High Evolutionary (Classic) and High Evolutionary (Awesome Mix Vol. 3) are the latest to join the ranks of MARVEL Puzzle Quest!
A 3-Star Rarity character with Affiliations Villains, Technologists, Geniuses, and Cosmic, High Evolutionary (Classic)has a toolkit that includes Iteration, The Missing Link, and Unnatural Selection.
With Iteration, High Evolutionary deals 777 damage, plus 389 damage per Research counter (Max 15). At 6+ counters, this also creates a 3-turn Countdown tile that reduces the target's ability ranks by 2 while on the board (Max 1 per enemy).
(PASSIVE) Whenever an enemy makes a match or fires a power, this adds a Research counter and gains +1 AP in the target's strongest color.
Using The Missing Link, choose an ally: increase their max HP by 20% and their ability and match base damage by 20%, up to his max HP and strongest base match damage if a teammate is chosen.
(PASSIVE) On battle start, if he is not the highest level character, he gains up to 140% bonus max HP and 25% bonus ability and base match damage based on the difference in levels, up to level 370. This passive cannot be disabled by stuns.
By making an Unnatural Selection, High Evolutionary deals 15% permanent damage to the target and reduces their match damage by 15% (Max 60% reduction). Then, if his maximum health is greater than the target's, he deals additional damage equal to the difference, up to 20% of his maximum health. (Max health is reduced by permanent damage.)
A 5-Star Rarity character with Affiliations Villains, Technologists, Geniuses, and Cosmic, High Evolutionary (Awesome Mix Vol. 3) has a toolkit that includes Iteration, The Missing Link, and Unnatural Selection.
With Iteration, High Evolutionary deals 5390 damage, plus 2695 damage per Research counter (Max 15).
