    My G4mora sits at nine covers so this will definitely help a lot. And with the cascade of Sentry covers on the horizon for me it should be enough to get another Moon Knight.

    And it's a good thing that boosted list mostly hits during PvP off season. I don't have a single one of those characters champed. It'll suck a little to likely not get the 4* cover at 900 for a few events, but maybe a little break from PvP won't be so bad. 
    Just remember, boosted list doesn't even matter in off-season. While you're going to be nerfed for Yondu PVP, you might be able to hit the 2 off-season events. What hurts more is that your entire week of PVE is going to be (a little) harder with no boosted 4*s, especially if you go SCL8 for the 2 progress Gamora covers.

    EDIT, Part 3, The Final Edit 3D!: Sentry in Made Man placement. Sentry PVP. Sentry in PVE placement. While a lot of people would be very annoyed by this, I actually have this fabulously suicidal madman as my Bonus Hero to get to level 265 before Moon Knight starts appearing in my suppy drop in about a month and a half. I'm satisfied. Now, does this indicate a Prodigal Sun run where Sentry is actually featured? And with my guess from patch notes that we actually have a Boss inbound in 2 weeks, having a 1-week event preceding it sounds about right. (A little sad that the Strange covers come after he stops being boosted.)
    So, let's see. If I get top 50 in TaT, that's 3 Sentry, top 25 in Made Made for 3 Sentry, top 100 alliance for TaT for 1, possibly merc Made Man for 1, Starfall progression for 1, Prodigal Sun progress for 6 (carry the 1, find the co-sin, divide by zero, panic and reset the universe...), Sentry goes to 254. Added bonus, Sentry actually featured in Prodigal Sun. Now to wait a week for confirmation of a Boss event. Prodigal Sun placement doesn't exactly scream "Defenders-themed" event though, so that's a little sad. Wait and see, wait and see.

    That's an excellent boost list. I don't plan on doing SCL8 on all 7 day events (just because of how much of a grind they can be) but a boost week like that makes it an easy choice. 
    There's nothing inherently wrong with the list, just saying it doesn't work for me personally. Coulson is my highest at 4/5/2 Level 229.

    Also relieved that Bl4de is the reward. I don't *need* his covers, although champ levels never hurt. But, I don't feel like I need good placement, which is great since we'll be out of town this weekend and I wasn't going to be able to play optimally anyhow. It finally feels like the schedule worked in my favor for once. 
    I apologize @DarthDeVo - I was saying that totally independent of what you posted, wasn't trying to mitigate your point. 
     Ha! No worries, just funny timing I guess. :smile:

    Oh duh, you're right. Good point on off season PvP getting its own boost list.

    I'm not really worried about placement for this event, just need those G4mora covers and that, sweet, sweet CP. IRL events meant I wasn't going to be able to play optimally anyhow, so it doesn't bother me that this particular boost list won't benefit me much in PvE. As you mentioned, only real issue will be Yondu PvP.

    The two 4* covers are also in CL7. Go up to 8 if you want more cp, hp, iso and two extra 3* covers.

    Ah, been a while since I looked at that chart. Guess that's another failing of refusing to drop to SCL7. Could have sworn 7 got 1 even in a week-long.

    It's a bit of a toss-up for me. Easier enemies and a better shot at the top 10 for one or two Blade covers or more resources. Probably just chill in 7. Here it is if anyone wants to check it out again.

    How odd to see her specific PVP prior to official release. Does this mean she'll be rerun a week-and-a-half later to go along with the usual "1 week after release" pattern?
    Also odd, but relatively appropriate, to rerun a 4-star PVP to kick off the season. It's been roughly a year since his release and Defenders goes on Netflix, so it works.

    Are either of the off season PVPs going to feature the cumulative wins model?  AKA 40 to the 4star.  (Hopefully not 40.)

    As of right now, I am unaware of any of the off season versus tournaments to be testing another iteration of the progression reward structure.
