    Anyone else not getting any of their rewards from the Lighting rounds? I don't think I've gotten any. This is definitely odd, though I'll wait 24 before filing a ticket or anything.

    I did not get the rewards for the Gamora Lightning Round for which I finished Top 25 but I got all the other rewards for the Lightning Rounds after that right away at the end of each event (I barely played those & got the 500 Iso-8 reward for each of them).

    Murphy's Law at it's best that the only event I earned tokens for is the only one that I am still waiting for the rewards... icon_e_wink.gif

    EDIT: I've now got all my rewards... icon_cool.gif

    Season XIII:

    Rotating In: Captain America (Steve Rogers), Hulk (Indestructible), Iron Man (Model 40), Professor X (Charles Xavier), Ragnarok (Dark Avengers) and Unknown Character (Coming Soon).

    Rotating Out: Blade (Daywalker), Rocket & Groot (Most Wanted), Storm (Mohawk), The Hood (Classic) and Wolverine (Patch).

    Hood, Grocket, and Blade were all in LR's, so a few changes will be coming. Rags probably in for Hood, not sure about heroes. killerkoala has been giving us updates often before the official rotations are here.

    Bummer to see Blade go, he was only in for a couple seasons.

    Just one I think. The big question now is if Hulk, Steve or Iron man comes back to the lightning rounds or if it's someone new.

    blade got in this season; when spidy got rotated out. he was fun to have in LR.

    as for villians most likely it'll be rags, but would rather have daken back into it.

    I want Rags back, otherwise there will be no active green powers among the boosted villains.

    Agreed. I've been bringing Loki along but he really slows down the match. Rags's Red was my #1 LR power back when he was in them.

    You know, as much as I dislike the change from Rag's redflag.png generating green to generating blue instead, it will make for a fun combo with Mags in LRs.

    Season 13 Lightning Rounds Rotation

    Blade Out - IM40 In

    Villians : Loki, Doom, Rags, Mystique, C. Mags
    Heroes: Gamora, IM40, Daredevil, Groot & Rocket Racoon, Punisher

    I don't know what order they are in.

    So for the villains, Rags and Mags are the must plays if you want full color coverage. Either one of the other three work in that perspective though.
    For the heroes, it's Daredevil and Iron man and either Gamora or Punisher.

    What you almost want is still Rags without blue, to push the blue to CMags. Probably loki as the 3rd, as Hood is now gone.

    I'll still be running CMags/Doom when possible, likely won't be using Rags except when he is featured. In hero's I've been using Grocket for the "huge health, don't bother" reason - but he is backed with a decent O, unlike Rags. IM/Grocket might make a decent pair.

    Edit - wait, Grocket still in? He's rotating out of packs though. This would be the first time a rotated out character would be in the new LR's.

    So there's two green/black/red heroes, two red/blue/yellow and the fifth is also strong in red? Nice variety there...

    Anyone else notice that during the Iron Man lightning rounds, some of the feeder teams have both IM35 and IM40? Did they remove the same character restriction on Iron Man?

    I had noticed that, and figured it was the just the AI 'cheating' again icon_e_smile.gif More likely it's that the seed teams are fixed pairs of chars, no checks/etc are done prior to that seed team being added to the 'powered-up char' so it probably never registers anywhere they've just paired IM35 with IM40.

    No more characters in rotations, so harder to guess who will be in/out?

    Loki, Doctor Doom, Ragnarok, Mystique, Magneto - no villain change.

    I just took 1st in lightning round - my first time ever!

    The rewards are kind of **** for 90 minutes of grinding, but I'm still proud of myself. icon_e_biggrin.gif
