    Huh. A boss event, Shield Training for a ??? (So not a 5* from Boss?), but a PVP with no ???. Also, why is it a ??? when Sparklefingers McBubblegum is on our game icon?
    5* Jubilee incoming?
    Maybe the April Fools is coming late to PvP. 
    I agree this is kind of odd based on past history. Should be a 4*. 
    No, not 5*. There’s a Shield Training. That suggests 4*, but it’s been a long time since a new 4* came from a Boss event. Hope there’s better news tomorrow.

    It’s odd across the board. We haven’t had a 4* release for a boss event since Bucky on Civil War’s first rerun 2 years ago...  also not having a PvP side of the release points more towards a 5* also.  

    Either theres a typo or existing patterns are being shook up.

    The PVP for a new 4* never comes right when it is released. It comes later when it is given in PVE as a progression reward. Also when the new 4*'s "And Friends" Vault is also released. That is why they give you a token for the vault.

    @Shintok17  The PVP that starts on the same date as the new release also normally rewards covers for the new 4. This time Mystique’s PVP rewards Iceman.  In the past it would have ??? for the placement rewards of an unrevealed 4*.

    The featured PVP normally happens on Sunday, but the Thursday PVP has had the new 4 in placement for a while now. That’s what Broll meant by “PVP side of the release”, that Identity Theft should have a new 4 in placement.

    Oh you mean the character itself being awarded in the PVP not the new 4*'s PVP event. Got it.

    Claws for concern, eh? Wonder if this will be the start of a trend for multi-tier characters PvP.

    That's because this is a new 2*!! The only 2* to have a PVP event was Ares like 4years ago! Woohoo new 2*s! 2* SHIELD Training.. you must have a Lvl 144 Bagman.. that's why his PVP event is up! Get them covers!

    I'd actually welcome new 2* characters. I get more out of 2* farms/feeders than I do half of my 4* roster who just sit there taking up space.

    Looks like 4* Jubilee. It doesn’t state that but the pics show 120 CP to add level to a color, which corilates to a 4*.

    Her purple does 5k dmg plus stuns 2 enemies for 2 turns for 12 AP.  She’s a 4.

    Identity Theft - Mystique (4/5/18) *New Update*
    Progression Rewards:
    4-Star: The Hulk (The Main Event) - Purple
    3-Star: Mystique - Purple, Black
    2-Star: Wolverine (Astonishing X-Men) - Red
    1-Star: Spider-Man (Original) - Purple

    Placement Rewards:
    4-Star: Iceman - Purple, Blue
    3-Star: Storm (Mohawk) - Yellow, Black, Green
    2-Star: Thor (Marvel NOW!) - Red, Green, Yellow

    Alliance Placement Rewards:
    3-Star: Storm (Mohawk) - Yellow
    2-Star: Thor (Marvel NOW!) - Red, Green


    As pointed out in the Jubilee release thread, shouldn't the 4-star placement covers be Jubilee, not Iceman? Or are we deliberately getting **** here because the Boss event will "guarantee" more covers than normal release story events? Because there's not enough time to run a PVP event with Iceman in progression and Jubilee in placement between Identity Theft and Here to Chew Bubblegum.

    Any answer on what they're asking above me @Brigby? Article says Jubilee pvp starts on 4/8 which would be the event after Mystique so why doesn't Mystique's pvp reward Jubilee covers?

    Just updated the sneak peek. There were some schedule changes recently. It's a 4 day Variant, and Unstable Iso-8 was changed to Meet Rocket & Groot
