    I see that it is another latest 4* (Mordo) for rewards in Story.

    Mordo next....man they're really shoving these newer characters down our throats. At this rate Coulson or Hobofist are probably next, before the new Gamora.

    I am very pleased that the progression cover for Spiderwoman is black. I am choosing to focus on that, rather than the fact that it's Simulator, which I kind of hate, and that the next event will likely mean that I have to champ Mordo (and Quicksilver, who is fully covered but wasn't a priority because I didn't have a 14th cover).

    Yay, Spiderwoman black.

    *cough* Double Iso? *cough*

    (5/11/17 - 5/18/17) *New Update*
    • 4-Star: Drax, The Hulk (Totally Awesome), Spider-Gwen, Wasp, Wolverine (X-Force)


    Well, there's a motley crew of 4s if I ever saw one. 

    Looks like I'll be using 4*lord, Wasp and Hawkguy for this week.

    That's just great, 3 latest 12 in a row. Wow, what a horrible way to plan pve rewards. We really don't get enough covers from cp/lt pulls....

    Now i'm finishing Riri and will have roughly 2 weeks to champ Spider-Woman (90) and Mordo (106). So much iso.

    wow.  looks like they shook up the boosted list quite a bit.  I'm aok with it because this one has way more firepower than the predicted list.

    Hmm, could be fun to try the new Drax and Wasp together. :)

    It should be his black cover.

    And another latest tweleve (mordo) as placement/progression award upcoming. This seriously needs to stop. We're begging for vaulting characters here.

    FYI, devs. This featured two times in a pve thing so they can have a crash isn't needed anymore thanks to vaulting.

    And with all the spiderwoman covers being thrust at me, clearly I'm be told by rngenus to champ her despite my best effots to wait out the three weeks until she leaves the token pool.

    So far, it has always been the second placement when bigby lists placement, fwiw.

    Wasp & Drax for me. Once you have enough blue AP for Wasp`s passive, Drax´s passive will roughly deal 2k damage per turn!

    Throw in Chulk for his CD and that's quite a combo with full color coverage!!

    Exactly! Now that vaulting is a thing and new characters are easily available in tokens, there's no excuse to continue with the "2 times feature in a PvE" for the Crash... When they are going to realize that?

    Agreed. I think reconsidering the way a new character enters the crash rotation should be revisited now that we have vaulting. It seems the PvE schedule has been New Release > Token 12 > Token 12 > Vaulted repeat (or a variation thereof). I think it'd be way better if it was New Release > Vaulted > Token 12 > Vaulted repeat. 

    Vaulting, for all its faults, made it so easy to acquire a new character's covers I don't think we should have to wait for them to be in PvE as an essential twice before they're 'legitimized.' Waiting until they've been in tokens for a full season is probably more than enough.

    It would seem all weekend events are reserved for newer fourstars - either we have a new character release or it's the oldest of the latest twelve who has not yet been given out twice (Mordo right now, so expect Agent Coulson as placement reward the week after Gamora's release).

    It would be awesome if all Monday-Thursday events could have vaulted prizes, but there's Another factor to consider: These prizes will be the essential characters in the next PvE, and having vaulted essential characters in a new release would probably not be well received. Thus we really only have one spot in a two-week cycle where vaulted characters could be prizes, the event after a new release.

    The simplest fix is probably to abandon the "old latest twelve reward on weekends". If that could be moved to the event immediately preceding a new release that would free up Another slot for vaulted rewards. Basically the two-week cycle would look something like this:

    Thursday-Monday week 1: New release

    Monday-Thursday week 1: New character essential PvE, vaulted character rewards

    Thursday-Monday week 2: vaulted character essential PvE, vaulted character rewards

    Monday-Thursday week 2: vaulted character essential PvE, old latest 12 reward.

    Backup Plan - (5/11/17) *New Update*
    Featured Character:
    4-Star: Rocket & Groot (Awesome Mix Volume 2)

    I hope this is as successful and fun as 5*Lord's "I Have A Plan". Looking forward to more story, more covers/tokens, and more ISO.
