I just wanted to let the devs/level editors know that the Ritic phaseshift “cheat” is still not fixed and it pretty much defeats the purpose of the level. I know this probably isn’t the most important problem right now, but I guess you can still add it to a list of things to fix.

And this “cheat” is working in other levels with mines.  
Just don’t use it, try to solve this level without cheating.

Actually, it’s technically not a cheat. ‘phaseShift’ is an ability…there’s nothing in the rules against it. Kind of clever, actually! 😃

It is clever, but at the same time it probably should be fixed. I think someone brought up this exact issue around 3 years ago, but I guess nothing got changed.

It could be solved by removing player locating the x and y like lost viking (I actually did complete lost viking by calculating and guessing the xy and finishing the level)

I think for most of these more challenging levels, they should probably just remove abilities so things like this can’t happen.

They probably could restrict heroes, but I think they want you to be able to have a variety of heroes to choose from, except for specific levels.

I think, they just should disable this ability.

They probably should for most levels, but I think they should definitely keep it for the multiplayer brawls.

Yes, I mean that they just should disable this ability in these levels.

I think the reason he costs 29,000 gems is just because you can cheat through half of the levels 🙃

For the multiplayer brawls all heroes must be free to play. In many levels paid heroes create confusion or unreasonable self-esteem.

Yeah… that’s true…
