    Bagman? Serious? Boosted Bagman
    Galactus is a Fantastic Four villain, so it makes sense to boost the version of Spider-Man wearing an FF uniform.

    @brigby When Galatus gets his power to fire does this affect airborne characters or would they be able to carry on when they land?

    Should be a fun event. Personally, I'm not too excited though because I'm playing for covers to start my dupe Strange and champ levels 278-280 for Coulson.

    My 5/2/2 Coulson isn't super thrilled, but I really like boss events, so I'm not complaining.

    No one in my alliance has Yondu.
    ( couldn't be bothered, Just another shiny new 4* cover that will gather dust).
    No one in the alliance has 3* Electra.
    ( underwhelmed).
    This is the First time EVER  we haven't been pumped for an alliance event.
    I'm sorry guys but the person who increased the grind from 4 clears to 5.
    The person who decided to stretch this game out has killed the spirit of many a fine game player in the process.
    Really don't know where we go from here.  :'(

    Does that matter?  They're New, not Featured, and while Yondu's AP steal might be a minor benefit neither of them are essential, either literally for refresh nodes or figuratively for beating Galactus.  If you're underwhelmed by the rewards, that's another thing entirely, but not having the new characters shouldn't impact your event one way or the other.

    All things considered I'd rather not have a 3* Elektra on my roster.  One more Iso sink delaying 4* champs.  I've got my fingers crossed for a hornhead of my very own, though.  I've been pretty lucky with the 5* release tokens, getting three covers from six pulls (2 spiderman, 1 starlord).  If no one cares about him, though, I suppose it's time to take it easy.  Just agree among yourselves before you sign up so individuals have the option to merc out.  If I missed my second token because my alliance decided to throw in the towel I'd be miffed.

    Thought the horn head would have been just daredevil at 10% 

    but there are 3 5* characters which is going to make it difficult to get a 5* dd 

    just wondering if that means we have a 30% chance of a 5* if all 3 are 10%

    still no sign of the system reboot event either

    According to my Hornhead Store Brigby's odds are wrong and there is a 3.33% chance of each 5*

    It specifically says in his power "and wins the battle".

    Basically, the power isn't like Whales where it does an incredibly large amount of damage to win the fight, but a literal win condition where if it is met, then that side has won. Basically, like 5* Doc Oc's incredibly convoluted green.

    so who will be your A-team against big G in later rounds? 
    3fist and 4fist would be fun, other than that, considering the boosted list, 4fist with... cloak&dagger (clagger? CD?) and c4ge?

    Thanks for the info guys thought it was damage based and using vultures airbourne abilty i thought may have prevented his power hitting him.

    Too bad Mordo isn't boosted. I imagine his purple could work pretty well against Galactus....

    Cho for the win, save up green and one shot galactus.
    I see your Cho's Green, and raise you Mordo's Purple. It will deal a crazy amount of damage since Galactus never uses his AP for anything.  Plus, it will drain five (hopefully black) AP, and give you some to boot.  All for 9 purple.

    Why do they keep boosting the same characters for boss events? I remember using XFW and TAHulk for both runs of Sinister Six because they were the boosted 4*s and therefore the most powerful options (plus their healing helped). Now it's them again (this time with 4* Blade joining in). Is there some special reason they're considered boss event characters?

    Why are there 3 5*s in the Hornhead tokens? Every time you guys offered a special token for a new 5* before it only had that one 5* at a 10% rate. Plus isn't Black Panther still heavily broken with his abilities not working correctly or at all?
