Note: Eagle eyed viewers will notice something that's *NOT* there this time. We're going to release Mari Hill *without* a S.H.I.E.L.D. Training event running alongside her release. We're re-evaluating the effectiveness of these S.H.I.E.L.D. Training release events as a result of player feedback about many aspects of it (required characters, matchups, etc.) and want to see how the character launch works without this event running. While hot takes about this aren't a bad thing, we'd like feedback on the overall different feel of this 4-Star character release with the changed release cadence once you've had a chance to experience it.
