so is Strang3 first in the next rotation or last in this one?
I have Purple at 5 and Yellow at 2
I said it before BFF would work better if the BFF's are only buffed when used together
but just realized I'll be getting that 13th Quicksilver Cover and won't have to sell another Green or Black (5/2/5)

Can we get an update on up coming PVE? Given we are in hulk would be nice to know what up as that finishes?

Thanks

Let's baselessly speculate. I'll say Heroic:Dark Avengers and/or The Hunt.

I imagine Strange is the last one in this rotation since he's newer. They tended to add new characters to the end of a rotation, with the odd exception of Bullseye being the last 3* character, but 21st in the DDQ rotation.

I'm really hoping they give us Strange's first power. It feels like his purple was easiest to get and I also have it at 5. Mine's at 3/5/4 and I already sold one purple because I didn't get a single other cover for him within 2 weeks.

Really hoping Strange blue is first in the rotation (I'm at 1/4/4 currently).
This would make sense, wasn't blue the least awarded in his event/vaults?

sadly there is logical reason for any of his covers to be given.

Blue - first time strange has been part of the DDQ could start on top.
purple - He is at the end of the rotation that was giving out the middle covers
yellow- he is also at the start of the rotation that is giving out the third covers

@_@

I am fully expecting purple though as it's clear the dev's know it is his most useless skill and thus they feel the need to constantly give it away lol.

A suggestion/request: Please remove past events as new ones are added. It keeps the post cleaner and more useful, as relevant information is quicker to find.

Thank you for continuing to provide updates!

Yes. Now that I've received info from the team regarding the upcoming events, I will update the post. Thanks for being patient.

And yes, you read that right. There are five 4* characters being buffed this time

IM40 PVP is Heavy Metal, not Big Bangs Theory.

fmftint

A heroic with WS, KP, IM40, DD available
I can work with that


Curious though, Fury is on the boost list but will be essential for Juggernaut Heroic. Kind of defeats the 5x boosted 4

Big Bangs Theory - Iron Man (Model 40) (12/15/16) *New Update*

IM40/Medusa mashup character confirmed!

Akari

Is Nick Fury supposed to be on the boosted list? He's already the essential for the next heroic, I don't think I've ever seen someone be boosted as well as essential at the same time.

Phumade

Figures

The week they boost 3* strange is the same week as a roster restricted heroic. Here to praying that strange is on the 3* character list

Technically 3* Strange is the last in the rotation where he is right now. Way back when DDQ first began Black Panther always started the rotation and it ended with Kamala I think. As they rolled more 3*s each new one was added on to the end of the list keeping the 5-day weekly rotation constantly in flux with 3* star Vision ending the list (the exception is Bullseye as you said being the final official 3*). Even though BP was first he was never at the top of the list. It just happened to work out that the final 3* made each week divisible by 5. Black Panther starts the rotation and Vision ends it so they added Strange behind him.

5x 4* - is that a new standard?

Could be a mistake, as Fury is the essential in the Juggernaut Heroic?

In other news, I'd hate to be a 1* or early 2* player in that Heroic. 3/4 boosted characters for the week are Dark Avengers. You'd be relying on the reinforcements, assuming that 2* Hawkeye plus whatever minimally-covered 3* & 4* characters you have could even unlock the subs.

Looks intentional, based on Brigby's update comment:

It doesn't happen often, but I do remember multiple times where the essential 3* in a story event was one of the weekly buffed characters. So it isn't unheard of -- just mildly disappointing that it happens to be during a Heroic, where we could have finally had 6 boosted 4*s instead of 5... but hey, I'll take it if it means we will always have five 4*s buffed weekly. We're more than due for it, since we are past the number of characters when they expanded the number of boosted 3*s from four to five per week.

Well, Heroics have always sucked for 2* players. I always viewed them as incentives for players to build bigger rosters.

Many would argue that Heroics in general suck. Personally, I enjoy them when it's a group of characters that play well together. And IM40 with Nick Fury and either Ghost Rider or Captain Falcon actually sounds pretty fun.

1st season event should be thor, best friends forever gives thor covers.
