    Yikes, this is the first boost list in awhile where I have 0 champion 4*s...

    • 4-Star: Bishop, Invisible Woman, Nick Fury, The Punisher (MAX), Sam Wilson (Captain America)
    I have Flaptain at 209, and I have Fury and Invisible Woman covered but not well leveled. Realistically Flaptain is going to be my guy on this one...

    I am hoping another update to this thread, or a Holiday week 3 update, will help us know what to expect while the staff is enjoying their time off.

    I have Fury champed but everyone else is at 209. Probably gonna have to get creative with the boosted 3s and do Switch with MEHulk or Hawkeye. Maybe I'll run Fury with Mockingbird.

    Rolled my eyes and let out an audible "ugh" when I saw spirits of vengeance coming, but that changed to a smile and a cackle when I saw GladiaThor was the featured 5* for it.

    Is Ice-Man really getting two Crashes (both next, and after C&D)?

    @Brigby 12/29 boosted/crash is a copy-paste of 12/19.

    It is a copy and paste, however it is also intentional that those weeks are the same.

    Actually happy about this timing as Elektra, Gambit, and Angel are the last three 3*s I need to max out.

    I'm happy about it, too -- but mainly because Icy might just be my favorite of all characters to play. He's such a blast! (I'm a 4* player, no 5*s champed.)

    That is odd. We get 3 classic 5* PvE events in a row.
    Isnt' it typically 3 latest then 2 classic, rinse and repeat?

    My best guess is that Doc Ock and Thor don't count, and they're special for the Winter Celebration, first Doc Ock with Sinister 600, then Thor because of his new costume.

    We had 2 latest, then Ock, then the third latest. Then Thor. Now it appears two Classics are on deck, Archangel/Star-Lord, as mentioned in this thread, and then Cable is up next (as seen in the January sneak peek thread).

    Now, based on the previous patterns, Doc Ock and Thor were last run in the first of November, and I wouldn't have expected them again until like... June. However, Archangel/Star-Lord were up next as Classics. So since we got Ock and Thor again way too early, but then got the classics that were "supposed" to come next, I presume Ock and Thor were a break in the normal 3/2 pattern, and starting with Archangel we're back on that pattern (so in January after Cable well get Kitty and Kingpin, since he'll be in Latest tokens by then).

    That's my educated guess, anyway.

    Doc Ock was in between Kitty and Loki so definitely didn't "count" in the rotation. I think you are right, JHawkInc.
