So the expected question: should I try to cover Gambit before he leaves, or just save my resources? I'm not sure how good Ghosty will be, although his Green looks brilliant. Plus I'm one of those who believe Gambit will get the OML treatment and be nerfed to oblivion (hopefully not; nerf him but don't make him as bad as his 3* version).
I Believe Gambit will get a fourstar feeder once he is out of Latest, possibly the week after. Rogue seems like an obvious candidate, so if you have a level 300 Rogue you will suddenly have Gambit at 4/3/5. So you may not be as bad off as you Think.
That said... it's probably smart to try to chase Gambit while he is still in Latest, if only becayse it means you can get duplicate Black covers changed by Customer Service (and also because it is Gambit).

vinsensual said: Once he transitions over to classics, he'll probably be rushed to the front of the rotation in pve essentials, and you can buy a purple cover for 250 CP. I'd probably risk it with 10 Latest Legends pulls instead, but I've had plenty of streaks of going zero for 10.
We haven't seen Doc Ock, Spider-man or Daredevil as Classic fivestar PvE Essentials yet, no reason to Think Gambit would get preferential treatment. We are Close to the end of the cycle though - I Believe the only Classic fivestars who have never been PvE Essentials are OML, Captain America, Thanos and Black Panther, so the repeats should start coming soon.
We also don't know if they will start over from the top or if they will continue where they were in the cycle coverwise.
We have seen both Spider-man and Daredevil get fourstar feeders though, so that is way more likely to happen soon after Gambit goes Classic.
