Jester Sonic

[coarse ferry]

Discuss anything about Sonic Forces Mobile's latest jester addition here.

[lone prairie]

Jester has a cool design (both items and outfit) Good job to the team! He's balanced but needs a chance for his Wild Card like (I hope new characters in the future will stay balanced) The thing i would suggest is to add less Sonic into the game. There's characters such Burning Blaze, Neo Metal, Sage, A Espio, Charmy variants etc.. that needs to be into the game. Sonic got a lot of variant

[zealous schooner]

Okay, I genuinely have some feedback for this character.

His kit is overall, very well done! He's thankfully not overpowered and is genuinely pretty fun to use. Using confusion boost was a good call, I don't see anything with it.

[plush pawn]

Finally a balanced character and not a broken one so that people go crazy to pay with it

Although you are still paying for it

[zealous schooner]

My only issue with this character, is that wildcard doesn't have chance. And is limited to only one card per drop, and the card itself doesn't do much damage. I've seen the fireball card only do minor damage, it doesn't do much and even when you do land it? There's not much of an actual reward to it, as they quickly get back to running.

[zealous schooner]

The rest of the kit is completely fine, the stats feel like they should be buffed slightly. But it's fine with or without a buff.

So wild card seems to be my only problem with the kit, giving it more damage would make it much more better. But that's just me

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[zealous schooner]

I'll get back to this post once I get to LV.12, just to see if the max is balanced or not.

[obsidian spire]

I agree with you. The wild card is my problem too. Like I love the Sonic in the box and Confusion boost but the wild card is so weak that I don't use it

[dense veldt]

I’m amazed to see that we got our first non-broken runner for this year

[lone prairie]

He needs a chance on his card, that's all

[lone prairie]

Valentine Rouge is also balanced

[dense veldt]

Kinda

[dense veldt]

Electrical dmg stops you for 2 seconds, freezing one blocks you for 10 seconds and the normal attack acts like e-mine /j

[normal fiber]

Hella mid character, boost isn't broken which already is an issue in this meta (not that i complain about that), his projectile is ehh, idk why it's a nerfed version of lanterns fireworks, should have multiple pickups. His trap is good tho i will give him that

[cinder patio]

why do they make discussions over mid/normal characters but not on the op broken chars discussions on release

[lone prairie]

Theyre scared of the comments 🥶

[cinder patio]

but anyways the only good decent thing abt jester is the trap

[cinder patio]

we need a long list of balance changes soon

[lone prairie]

Same

nerf the dragon duos again, not enough

[cinder patio]

fix the gawain 2x issue soon tho

i have max lvl and i now get always 2x instead of 3x boost xd

[lone prairie]

meanwhile qbz has x3 at lvl 8 💀

[cinder patio]

lmao

anyways

jester is ok ig

[lone prairie]

[zealous schooner]

Card is his main problem, the rest are fine.

[pastel iris]

Mid character, the trap is the only good thing

[dense veldt]

True ngl

[tall elk]

My only complaint is the card should have more effects if it’s a single card instead of multiple

Zero point in making it a worse version of firework flurry

Add the light effect or tree effect or confusion or the wind effect

[sacred vessel]

Does card has fireball , moto bug and freezing?

[plush grove]

That is correct

[sacred vessel]

And only 1 pick up ☠️

Man they can't make characters that are strong but also have weakness

Either make them too strong or too weak

[cinder patio]

🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

[cinder patio]

🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

I think he'll be pretty good at higher levels. Wild card is only a single pickup that gets damage buffs but it does have pretty good range. Sonic in the box has decent damage too but thankfully it's not explosive like choc lock or tricky towers. Illusion boost is only good at max. Over all he's not a bad character if you're willing to invest in him

[wary hearth]

The weak ones are actually just because the meta makes them bad but they are overall balanced

[dense veldt]

^

[nocturne nacelle]

Just got him

I think the wild card attacks should be stronger

Also you can perfect dodge through the sonic in the box traps

[zealous schooner]

How fun

[elder wyvern]

wild card should have multiple pickups

it feels so weird to only get 1

[nocturne nacelle]

From the looks of it wild card has pretty good range

[nocturne nacelle]

Firework flurry which is ALSO rng does have multiple pick ups even at lv1 so why not wild card

[zealous schooner]

Literally just a worst Firework

That's all it is

[verbal anvil]

Mehhh... To be honest, there is no character, it just exists - an ordinary character is balanced but with problems. And one thing: Sonic the Fool is just a re-skin for Chinese silver items: The Joker card is the same item as the Fireworks Extravaganza only without the odds and the number of the Joker's trap is a similar trap Chimney at Santa big
problems, Sonic the Joker has Stats, boost, and leveling: Why is the character's stats lame? 9/6/3 is not particularly good stats and if you compare stats with Valentine Rouge. Similar stats, but the Joker is worse. Confusion boost? seriously? why this particular boost, why not make a new leap on April 1 as a joke or, for example, an Electric boost or Power Sneakers. And most importantly, pumping items from Sonic the Joker: Duration? And the damage? seriously? Why, one damage? there is little use from damage, one card is not enough that it will pump damage to the joker card, this is not enough, the duration will also give little, especially this Confusion Boost is useless, so pumping will not save.
For me personally, the character is in tier B. And this is my personal opinion, maybe someone likes Sonic the Joker, play for him, pump him up, but for me personally there is no character

[cinder patio]

A Man becomes a Hedgehog

[obtuse willow]

What???

[grave brook]

Guys

Hu is more better lantern silver or jester sonic

[verbal anvil]

Lantern Silver

[grave brook]

Sure

[cinder patio]

The Society Sonic

[nocturne nacelle]

Tbh just give his wild cards more damage and pickups

[cinder patio]

yes, like lantern silver

[nocturne nacelle]

From the trap description i thought it would also reverse controls

[sacred vessel]

Pomni sonik

[zealous schooner]

A stat buff would be nice, but I think wild card is a bigger priority for me

[twin sail]

I want a variant of Espio.

[lone prairie]

Add Burning Blaze 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[nocturne nacelle]

Blacksmith Tails and Neo Metal Sonic

[limpid arrow]

Gawain boost should be guaranteed 3 at level 14 not chance of getting 3

[limpid arrow]

I could say buff the damage and make it cover entire Lane since it a single pickup items

[zealous schooner]

That would be nice, as long as it gets a buff then I'm fine with it.

[limpid arrow]

honestly I though his effect would be slow effect, infinite effects and Ice effects

[zealous schooner]

More effects woulve been so cool

Hedgemaze, Phantom ruby, maybe even gift wrapped?

[limpid arrow]

he not trash he balance

[zealous schooner]

A lot of potential

[limpid arrow]

gift wrap is a boost effect but blind effect would work also

[zealous schooner]

it's still an effect

but I could see blinding be more likely

[timid jetty]

Jester is very balanced. It's just the current meta that makes him, and others, struggle. I do think he should at least have multiple pickups for his cards though. The damage it does isn't enough either.

[zealous schooner]

I don't know, wild card had a lot of potential

[limpid arrow]

like those would make sense since he a jester and he does tricks

[timid jetty]

No more blinding flashes, please ☠️

[zealous schooner]

Mhm

[zealous schooner]

So much more RNG would've been better

[limpid arrow]

I this he could stick with the 1 but just make it cover entire lane like snowball and buff the damage

[zealous schooner]

Like his kit is already rng based, but I just wish it was more random

[zealous schooner]

Not to mention it has almost the same range as snowball

If it had the range of fireball, it would've been better

[limpid arrow]

yeah

[limpid arrow]

I realised most new projectile has short range now

like red and chuck item, love arrow and now wild card

[timid jetty]

I wouldn't mind that, but only because his trap doesn't guarantee to cover the other lanes. Otherwise, it would be like DHL on rails.

[zealous schooner]

I found out that on 5 lane maps, the sonic in the boxes don't show up

[zealous schooner]

It's just the box

[limpid arrow]

yeah his trap only pring up 2 so the a free lane to jump over the box

[zealous schooner]

On 4 lane it shows up, but for 5 it doesn't

[zealous schooner]

They can spring all 3

[limpid arrow]

nope never seen that

if so that must be a bug

[zealous schooner]

It's happend multiple times to me

[limpid arrow]

that must be a bug because not even flue shot does that

[zealous schooner]

Well it's a pretty common bug

So I don't know

You can perfect dodge the box anyway

[timid jetty]

It happens, but not that often. I've had all 3 spring up before as well.

[limpid arrow]

ohh I haven't unlock him yet so can't wait to try him

I mostly using valentine rouge and muk

need chance of getting 2 arrow or guarantee 2 at level 12

[timid jetty]

He's definitely fun, just difficult with meta around. They make his stats and boost hurt him more than they should.

[zealous schooner]

I think the boost is

Fine?

Yeah

Way better at LV.14, but even at lv.2 it can hold up pretty well

But the meta boosts definitely overpower it

[misty cypress]

Confusion Boost and other vanilla boosts are lacking compared to most other boosts so it's more difficult by default for them

[limpid arrow]

only old boost that need buff is wind boost Ice boost duration, bunny boost remove swipe limit and invisibility boost nerf duration probably increase the speed

[restive bone]

Jester sonic is mid

[plush grove]

The state of the meta is the reason for such perceptions to arise

However, I do like the aesthetic and fun feel of the character, so cool points for that 😎

[zealous schooner]

Sonic Channel appreciation is real

[nocturne nacelle]

i might have been the only one to notice this but you can perfect dodge through the sonic in the box traps

i noticed this on my first time playing as him after i unlocked him

[stray storm]

woah an actually balanced character 👍

[nocturne nacelle]

yeah he's pretty normal

[zealous schooner]

Yeah

[zealous schooner]

^^

[pastel iris]

Can’t we perfect dodge all traps?

[pure wasp]

Clown🤡

[lone prairie]

[cinder patio]

💯

[lone prairie]

who pinged 😡

[lone prairie]

the person who ping you done

[toxic arch]

Happened twice

[torn summit]

Mid character

Basically a worse lantern silver

[verbal anvil]

That's right, it looks like Lantern silver, but Lantern silver will be much inferior to Jester sonic and it will be better

[tall elk]

so does the trap deal damage and give confusion?

[zealous schooner]

It just does damage

unfortunately no confusion

[normal fiber]

Trap doesn't need it, it's already pretty good

They should buff the projectile rather

[tall elk]

Then why does the description say “confuse rivals who run into it”? 😭

Very misleading

[timid jetty]

The description is definitely off, but it doesn't need to add any effects. The damage is enough, even at low lvs. His card needs a buff though. That, or let it have multiple pick ups like Lantern Silver.

[tall elk]

Or add more effects

[restive bone]

It needs to be reworked like it shoots out 3 cards at one with one lane being fire one lane being thunder and one lane being freeze and it swaps the order every time it's used

[timid jetty]

I'm not sure we need more things being blasted down multiple lanes. I would rather it just be like Lantern Silver's attack. Right now, it's too weak to just be a one item pick up. If the damage was higher, that would be more justified.

[cinder patio]

İdk jester sonic kinda looks 😬

[timid jetty]

Personally, I like the way he looks. More than that, I like that he's balanced.

[zealous schooner]

His model looks really nice

[plush grove]

I like the fun theme associated with the character

[umbral spade]

Projectile attack needs to reworked. To hold at least 3 cards like lantern silvers fireworks. The trap needs just a small damage boost or add confusion to it like it says it has in the items description. Hitting it really doesn’t cost you anything.

[zealous schooner]

If you wanna add confusion to the trap

Nerf the damage slightly

[limpid arrow]

facts

[umbral spade]

Yeah it’s why I said either buff the damage or add confusion

[zealous schooner]

I don't know

Having 3 lanes blocked is a pretty good trade off

Not sure if it was intentional though

[nocturne nacelle]

just noticed that sonic in the box doesn't quite work in mystic jungle?

in the 6 lane sections of these maps the sonic in the box's don't have any raised traps

might only be with him, haven't noticed it with other characters with similar traps

[lone prairie]

It's for every trap

[frosty badge]

That bug message is referring to the obstacles on the track itself with the gap underneath

[lone prairie]

Odinson also told it's referring to traps aswell, it's also the same with angry birds trap

[crude wedge]

I've seen the tall traps just be more dangerous on Mystic Jungle tracks, as their hitboxes extend into other lanes

Specifically on the halfpipe runs

[obsidian spire]

Fr
I have a battle in mystic jungle and I did try to jump but I got hit by the trap

[crude wedge]

... so therefore the hitboxes (made for pure vertical) extend into the other lanes with the angle the halfpipe has

[pastel iris]

I think his projectile does ice, electric and fire damage

[obsidian spire]

It do ice damage. Not a lot tho

[pastel iris]

Yea it does

It needs pickup tbh

[zinc needle]

Doofus convention sonic… LOVE THE OUTFIT!!!!!

[hybrid jewel]

Hes sort of held back by the fact wild card doesnt have any pick up chances
Very fun character, well balanced very hot design
Just needs a small buff
8/10

[zealous schooner]

buff that card 🙏

[nocturne nacelle]

yeah wild card could be buffed to have more pickups and more damage

[zealous schooner]

pickup is all I honestly need

[zealous schooner]

500 cards till max

[timid jetty]

You're almost there.

[zealous schooner]

Should be

Yeah I should get max by the final day

[main seal]

How much rsr do ya have jeez

Lol

[zealous schooner]

uhhhhhh

I don't even remember

It was like 15k+ at the start

now it's at 7k

[main seal]

Dang

I wish I had the patience to do offer walls lol

[zealous schooner]

yeah

I need to start doing more

I had alot saved up anyway

[crude wedge]

I've had times where I was hit, even while in other lanes, without jumping

[crystal harness]

Yooo dawg sonic the joker is kinda baaad fr

[sacred vessel]

Too hard

[nocturne nacelle]

6 rsr 🤑

[nocturne nacelle]

has anyone tested if other similar traps to sonic in the box don't rise on mystic jungle?

i've only been able to notice it with him

[tall elk]

Jester sonic is… decent for the most part. His trap is ok and his cards not being jumpable makes up for his lack of variety and number of cards he shoots

But against the meta he’s toast

[nocturne nacelle]

he's fairly balanced

[hollow orbit]

12cards from getting it

[flint gazelle]

I think that to improve the item it is better to just increase the damage and range, the range is very bad, it is like Snowdrift Sonic's snowball, but shorter I think. I also suggest that if you touch the electric attack and it passes through walls, increase the damage. To the attack of snow simply the duration. The fireball... Meh, okay

I have the character level 11, maybe later I will improve it to 12 and send a video of how effective the attack is at the maximum level

[nocturne nacelle]

does lv6 jester have pickups on the card?

[sacred vessel]

No

[timid jetty]

They work like Lantern Silver's attack; random elemental attack. The biggest difference is that he only picks up one card, while Silver can pick up 3.

[nocturne nacelle]

also wild card is apparently unjumpable

[normal fiber]

If thats the case I would actually argue he is fine and not in need for a buff

[plush grove]

Arguable, yes

Damage may not need a buff since that’s being upgraded

As for pickups, I’m not quite sure… The closest buff I can think of is a chance of 2x

[haughty thorn]

just came here to say jester sonic is an absolute cutie

[normal fiber]

I would actually be against it if his projectile really is undodgable tbh

His trap is really really good

[umbral spade]

Basically zero change at max damage for wild card

[plush grove]

So the damage upgrades are not noticeable?

If that’s the case, then does it need a slight buff?

[umbral spade]

Pretty much hardly notice anything happen with its upgrade

[timid jetty]

It should either get multiple pickups or a buff to damage if it's going to remain just 1.

[umbral spade]

Also confirmed you can’t jump wild card

[pastel iris]

Facts

[bright garden]

I can’t even to land the thing

[timid jetty]

If it's not something we can jump or slide under, it should remain one pickup with buffed damage. If not, 3 pickups would be more fair.

[sacred vessel]

Pomni sonikk

[zealous schooner]

[toxic arch]

Silly

[main seal]

Peak unit

[flint gazelle]

This is a video that I was able to compare as best I could, the time of each effect from level 6 to level 12 of the wildcard, I don't know if it is accurate but you can see the purpose.

Lvl6/Lvl12

1- Fire Effect: It has a difference of 5 Microseconds when recovering from the blow.

2- Ice Effect: 21 microsecond difference in freezing time.

3- Electric effect: 4 Microsecond effect time difference

Honestly, I know it's not precise since I'm not used to doing this thing about differences between levels, but it doesn't need to be precise to see that literally the improvement is a pittance. It is not so effective to improve the wild card since not even the snow attack has a fairly effective duration of effect and let's not even talk about the electric attack, which is just as weak as Chuck's. It needs a slight buff that makes it worthwhile and is different to improve the level character, the fire attack is fine for me, but the snow and Electric attack need an increase in effect or damage.
