    Cloak and Dagger will be the 4 star placement award in Hearts of Darkness.

    I am really excited for these characters. New, unique character, fun looking powers.

    I still can't believe that D3 can't coordinate an announcement to save their lives. Brigby just gave us an update and I'm guessing was told not to post this right before it was posted elsewhere. And it wasn't posted here by anyone from D3. Sigh.

    So, we're getting The Question as placement? But if the clue is "2 for 1", and Question is D.C. then we must also be getting The Answer. Of maybe Rorschach from Watchmen?

    Ok, so I've been lurking in the forums for a while now, but haven't really paid too close attention to these Sneak Peek posts until recently... Let me see if I understand this... Starting on Thursday, these will be the three characters required in Hearts of Darkness' Essential nodes:

    4-Star: Medusa
    3-Star: Magneto (Classic)
    2-Star: Thor (Marvel NOW!)

    Is this right?

    But then it lists these characters as "Buffed" (starting on Thursday):
    4-Star: Drax, Moon Knight, Nova, Quake, War Machine
    3-Star: Steve Rogers (Super Soldier), Doctor Doom, Doctor Strange (Stephen Strange), She-Hulk, Spider-Man (Classic)
    2-Star: Black Widow (Original), Wolverine (Astonishing X-Men)
    1-Star: Iron Man (Model 35), Storm (Modern)

    If I understand how this works, then the essential and buffed characters are all "boosted" for the event, right?

    Yes, essential characters are boosted for that particular event but not for the whole week.

    Oh, ok. Got it. Thank you.

    Woot! I've got Medusa, Nova, Quake, and War Machine all champed (along with all the 3*s listed). This is gonna be great!

    Agreed...

    Medusa and Quake against those pesky Smoke Bombs and Caltrops is a riot.  :)

    Sorry about the formatting. I know it looks weird right now. Still some things to get used to with the editor.

    Don't worry though! I'm re-formatting it right now, and it should look much better in a few minutes. Sit tight!

    @Brigby Remember to correct the boosted list. You changed it to last week's.

    That's peculiar. Well, it should be the correct buffed list now, and formatting should look better.
    Thanks for the heads up!

    I don't know what's going to come after the Hunt, I just know my 4/1/5 Rulk and I are going to pretty bummed when the progression reward is almost certainly anything but a Green cover.  Probably going to be Purple (which it was last time Rulk was a progression reward and he was X/Y/5, just saying).

    Actually it looks like the progression reward will indeed be a green cover. It's usually the color given out for top 5 in SCL 7.

    I sure hope you're right.  Anything that gets me closer to champing some 4-stars (particularly when it's one of the best) is something that I look forward to.  I'm going to try to place in this PVE as well, but between work and my 6-month old, hitting top 10 is pretty unlikely.

    Looks like we might actually get a carol crash this cycle since her pve reward will happen during Peggy's crash. Unless her pve has to end before she can join the crash cycle.

    Yeah, yeah. Draws keep giving me Spider Woman, and she's up for weekly boosted. I GET THE HINT ALREADY! And once I sink the ISO into her, Blade will be the only one that week not Champed yet. Sounds like a decent week.

    Awesome, another week with three 4* champions for me! Now I have to consider which character Bl4de suits better, Kingpin or Spider-Woman?

    Kingpin. You'll use all of Kingpin's powers and let Bl4de do what he does best: bleed your red into damaging the enemy. Spider Woman, meanwhile, is there for her purple and black. Blade's passive won't let you get enough red to use System Shock.

    Another week without a single champed 4* :'( Not how I wanted to start the season. Gonna be another low scoring week.

    I'm beginning to feel like I am the only person on these forums who does not need a Green cover for Rulk. I'm needing red so my 2/5/4 Rulk disapproves of this.
