automatic selection of boosters

Normally i never use boosters or team ups, so after you select your team for a battle, the next window where you can select 3 of those, I always immediately click 'fight', without looking at the screen. The game then randomly assigns 3 team ups and i can start the battle.
However now with galactus i have used a few boosts against them, but after you fight galactus, you have to do an essential node, but EVERY SINGLE TIME, those boosters are STILL THERE, while i did not select them. And from my habit of automatically clicking 'fight' I am wasting all these boosters on those stupid essential fights where i dont need boosters.
Can we please make the boosters, just like the team-ups, by default they are all 3 empty and if you want them, you have to select them yourself?

    I use the boosts on later climbs on PvP where I should be using AP boosts every match to speed up the climbs and shield hops. If I have to re-equip the boosts every match, that is wasting valuable time and increase the chance that I will get hit.

    Not saying that my use case is more valid than anyone else's, but giving the other side of the argument.

    I have experienced both sides, and I tend to take this stance. I just have to learn to remove those boosts...

    They are just like team-ups. If you select team-ups manually, they remain until used or unequipped, too. I have wasted a few boosts myself, but I tend to agree with those who say that the system is fine as-is.
  • Allright, if that is what the majority of the players want, then maybe leave them automatically selected but add a little pop up saying "You have boosters equipped, are you sure you want to continue?"
    Only takes 1 second to press yes, so for those in a hurry it will not matter. But you will waste much less boosters on easy battles.

    How about a separate button that says "Clear All"? I think that would satisfy both camps.

    I know, I wasted a couple of +All-AP boosts yesterday by forgetting to remove them.

    This cries out for an option in the settings:

    They already have this in the team-up selection screen. It shows what you have selected for TUs/boosts. You have to hit the "FIGHT!" button to continue. I don't think there's a need for an "are you sure?" button. I've wasted boosts like this as well, just learned to actually read what I'm doing first.

    I liked Dayv's idea a lot, but would probably be satisfied if they put in a remove all button. Even just returning the Clear button in the team ups section instead of having to go into the boost tab would be a step in the right direction.
