    I have to admit I spent a few thousand on the Wanda Colossus boosted incarnation of classics.
    Still not going all in, but I... Dabble occasionally.

    With Goose (Chewie!) out, I'm going to go all in on her as my 3* favourite. Nearly all of my current 3* are Max-Max or close to as I kept my dupes when BCS was handing out all those retro rewards, so I have no real need to target any 3* unless I really wanted one in particular the 5* level.

    So now I'll test how long it takes to max a 3* from scratch (hehe) before I can ascend.

    Great plan - keep us up to date.

    I pulled 50 Latests this morning and Peggy is now 4,4,4 and the other two are baby champed.

    I then decided that adding I don’t need any CP buffer to keep up with Latests. I pulled all my CP in Classics and did 303 pulls. First thing I realized is that it took a long time to pull. I think the maximum I’ve ever pulled before today is about 60 individual pulls. I got 64 5* covers. Of the 5*s with increased odds I got 6 Thor, 6 Carnage and 4 Magneto.

    I really got a lot of covers for the featured 4s with about 20 covers each for Deadpool, Shuri and OsCorp Spidey. I also got 7 shard covers for Mighty Thor who is now my highest 5 at 497 and 33 covers on my 4* shard target Melinda May who is now level 352.

    I also spent about 1.4 million Iso champing 4* dupes and raising 5* Peggy to 435.

    They really need to give us a multi-pull option for classics. After the ascension rewards it took me FOREVER to spend all that CP one pull at a time.

    Well, today I finished 550ing Wasp. She's my 30th.

    I think this means I win MPQ.

    550 Bagman wins MPQ.

    The day someone hits that, the game shuts down and the loading screen just displays the winners name ;)

    I wonder does anybody have an ascended Taskmaster yet?

    I'm a little hurt that you'd even ask this. Mine is lvl452.

    Yeah I suppose I should have known lol. Mine is only 322, not nearly as poor as Ham, who I only have at 290. I don't believe I'll ever get him over. Devil D is 345, I guess there is a real world where I baby ascend him.

    I ascended Winter Soldier, moved my 4* over to Flaptain who has a 12 cover dupe. I’m looking at Coulson after that who has a 5/5/0

    Coulson is hands down the most fun of all the characters I've ascended so far

    Yes, so it seems. If I was close to being able to ascend him that's what I'd push for.

    I'm worried that the CD power is a bug that they're going to fix.

    Actually I might be more worried that it's a feature that they're NOT going to fix.

    I'm 99 shards from Flaptain, so I'll be on that Coulson train probably in a day or so to see what the story is.

    Yeah I think once someone at BCS actually plays him and notices 5 CD tiles, he's dead.

    And the flip side of that is that 1000 players are currently going all-in to get him ascended, so if he stays the way he is, he's going to end up absolutely everywhere.

    Going to be funny when he is made a retro feeder in a month right after that CD thing gets fixed.
