Also excited to see re-run (will fail Gwen, beat all the others)...also curious if this is a mistake (XFW started both other times) or if it was perhaps randomized again.

Will Monday be the start date, or the next event will be running in a different schedule than normal? I expect Heart of Darkness to start this Thursday (overlapping slightly with the end of The Gauntlet -- but they've done that before with previous runs of Gauntlet). It is a 3-day event and Rocket & Groot is a 4-day, putting back into a regular week schedule. The following week should be the PVE where we can win War Machine. It will be interesting to see if that will be a week-long (like Winter Soldier) or if they show mercy on us with a 3-day or 4-day event instead.

It wouldn't even shake up the mid tier significantly as there's plenty of characters now that are at the same power level he used to be at. And most have more health than he does.

I only missed 2 this time around, Thora (now champed so I'll get it done this next round) and Star Lord (probably will still fail because Star Lord). Looking forward to winning all of them this time! Also, will the later ones like Rulk, Nova, Miles, Venom, etc, maintain their undercovered opponents? It made them bearable, at least. Would be nice if this is the new trend for all new release characters and stays the normal for weaker 4*.

It wouldn't even shake up the mid tier significantly as there's plenty of characters now that are at the same power level he used to be at. And most have more health than he does. There are several strong 4*s now. And the game is so different in so many other ways too. It wasn't just that XFW was strong before his nerf. it's that he was strong at a time when Hood with 4k health was a viable endgame character. XFW had an 8ap power that could do 60-100% damage to most top tier 3*s, plus boardshake. His black could do massive damage (7-10k if used at the right time), and collected ap, AND destroyed enemy ap. The equivalent now would be a 4* with (i) a 3-match power that did 8k or so for 8ap and generated some ap too, and (ii) another 4-match power that could do 15-18k damage if used well, generates AP, and disabled the ai. Even the top tier 4*s don't come close to that power level. Some characters have powers that can do that much damage, but they are all either contingent damage (drax's red) or very expensive (IMHB will do 18k, but it costs 30ap!).
