    I have to admit that I kind of like these mini-events. We get a new storyline, challenging but not too hard missions and a really nice amount of ISO (18k). The last mission gave me a blue 4* Rocket & Groot cover, bringing them to 4/2/2.

    I didn't see any, not that I noticed anyway.  What do they look like?

    You only have them in 2 nodes: Planetfall and Hostile Welcome. They look like normal CD tiles, but with 2 tiny arrows on the side showing which column or row they'll destroy. Top left shows one of them, bottom right is a normal CD:

    Must be a random colour as the prize, as I got a Yellow cover, which suits me fine!

    I got a yellow as well. Was kind of hoping for Blue, but I'm not complaining at all.

    I very much liked this mini event. For me the environmental hazard tiles were barely noticeable on my 5" screen - I myself didn't see the little arrows at first. They are kind of a benign version of Thanos Boss event row destroyers.

    There is potential in adding environmental hazard tiles to introduce different boards with a special hazard type. This would make the game more interesting.

    These mini events are such a welcome and casual. event. They're quick, not requiring a 4x clear/grinding of each node, give a random color cover for a new character, and give out a generous amount of ISO.

    I really wish that these little mini-events became a common or more frequent way to debut the newly released 4* characters.
