Though in 4* land it's Juggs, Juggs and more Juggs.Last season: Wooo I'm one of the few that has a champed Juggs.This season: Dammit. Hey don't know if you got round to this yet but yesterday I sat down and hit sim hard and as I expected Gamora, Rocket and Juggy were devastating. I quickly got to 50 wins without a single health pack. Unfortunately at 1900 points all I see now is Kitty, Rocket and Bishop and I've been pushed back to 1700 so I'm going to just have to grind for the 25 wins for the 2099 cover 😒

By announcing it in an interview it is very smart to announce it on the forums to tease what thy will be bringing.i will also say I appreciate any communication on things the devs are working on and wish they would take more time to communicate what they are working on and how they feel about the state of the game and how the game is working.

bluewolf said: Turns out my guess might be wrong.....it was stated on Discord today that the feature wouldn't launch before 11/18 at the soonest.

Neither. 5*s were revealed in late summer 2015 and SS entered the game in September 2015. Don't believe me? Check who created the SS character thread right after the 5" teaser announcement was made. . .

Mechanics revealed 1 week before start of next season.

I like the thought but feel like they have to give you a way to get a character you don’t have yet... so I think it’ll be tied less into using specific characters and more into something else, like tied directly to opening covers (which I don’t love the thought of).
Barnstormer said: I'd be perfectly happy if it was tied to opening covers. Every 4* you open adds XP towards a targeted 5*. That would be a little better than simply relying on RNG. If there was a way to get usage XP, that would be icing on the cake.

If there was a way to get usage XP, that would be icing on the cake. That would be great! (although what would opening a 5* get you? Also shards for a 5*?) I'm guessing it would more likely be opening a 3* gets you shards for a favorite 3*, opening a 4* gets you shards for a favorite 4*, opening a 5* gets you shards for a favorite 5*. Depending on how many shards you get and how many it takes to get a cover, this would be very welcome. But if 4* covers got you 5* shards, even better.
