    Yes. Based on my understanding, that should be correct.

    Yes. Based on my understanding, that should be correct.

    This is correct each PVP, the confusing part is that the 900pt reward in SC 5 & 6 is the 2nd 3*. So at SC 7 or 8 there's still only 1 3* in prog at 800pts.

    Thanks for the addition of the colors, Brigby. I can honestly say your efforts on the Sneak Peeks are all very appreciated and have made big strides since you've come aboard.

    The Hulk (3/30/2017)
      Featured Characters 4-Star: Venom (Agent Venom) 3-Star: Sam Wilson (Falcon) 2-Star: Hawkeye (Modern) Progression Rewards 4-Star:
    redflag.pngblackflag.png Venom (Agent Venom)
    3-Star: yellowflag.pngblueflag.pngpurpleflag.png Sam Wilson (Falcon)
    2-Star: blueflag.pngredflag.pngpurpleflag.png Hawkeye (Modern)
    1-Star: blueflag.png Spider-Man (Original)

    Placement Rewards
    4-Star: yellowflag.pngredflag.pngpurpleflag.png Medusa (Inhuman Queen)
    3-Star: yellowflag.pngredflag.pngblueflag.png Magneto (Classic)
    2-Star: yellowflag.pngredflag.pnggreenflag.png Thor (Marvel NOW!)
    [/list]

    So this is great, however, it would be even more awesome if the placement reward colors were identified in a specific order that allows for predictions on the upcoming progression rewards in the PVE following (as always with the caveat that it could change as Boss events etc mess with this!).
      Placement Rewards 4-Star:
    redflag.pngyellowflag.pngpurpleflag.png Medusa (Inhuman Queen)
    3-Star: blueflag.pngyellowflag.pngredflag.png Magneto (Classic)
    2-Star: redflag.pnggreenflag.pngyellowflag.png Thor (Marvel NOW!)

    This order has the colors in order of most offered to least. The 1st color is a reward for the lower placement, the last color only a reward for the better placements.

    In terms of progression in the following event, the 1st cover offered is the middle one listed, if a 2nd cover is available it's the 1st one (true with the 4* double cover on a 7 day event also). So with 2 3*s offered at CL6 to CL8 in the PVE following the Hulk it will be Magneto - yellowflag.png then blueflag.png, the Medusa should be yellowflag.png

    Similar story for PVP too, the order of rewards in one PVP, creates the progression in the next one, so the order is important too. the missing 4* from placement is the next progression 4*. The 3* prog rewards go in reverse , 1st offered in prog is the 3rd listed, next (if there is one depending on CL) is the 2nd one. 2* I'm not sure what's going on when looking at history and the fact Ares is upcoming after Cap (someone else might know)!

    For the current PVP since i can see it:

    Fatal Attraction - Daken (Classic) (3/28/17)
      Placement Reward 4-Star:
    greenflag.pngblueflag.png Iron Fist (Danny Rand)
    3-Star: redflag.pngyellowflag.pnggreenflag.png Sentry
    2-Star: yellowflag.pngblueflag.pngredflag.png Steve Rogers (Captain America)

    On the PvE side, Hulk will still be running.
    The Deadpool cycle is predictable.
    The weekly boost list is still relevant.
    So really, the only mystery is what the first off-season PvP will be. With Storm being the reward in Last Defender it could be Children of the Atom, Women of Marvel or one where everyone is boosted.
