Glad to see Apocalypse being featured again soon to get those shards we missed!0
-
Are Meet Rocket & Groot and Webbed Wonder correct? We would normally have a Classic 5 where Apocalypse shows up, and then we should have an entirely different character where Iron Man shows up. Based on notes going back to September 2017, those two should be Silver Surfer and Wasp, respectively, and we shouldn't even see Iron Man again until maybe October of this year.
(for the record, I don't care if the pattern is changing, but it's exhausting when you change things like this and don't talk to us about it)1 -

Iron Man is early/off schedule....not sure if there is some theme they are going for. Kind of strange, I have no rationale for it right now.
Usually it seems like there is some reason when things change though, and there's not an obvious reason to make a major change from the pattern they've been following. Maybe a comic tie-in or something.0 -
It would be nice if 5e releases didn't count in the 3 Latest 2 Classic rotation. We missed some Apocalypse shards for Killmonger's release, so running him again this soon so we don't miss any of his shards isn't a bad idea. It's something people have been complaining about since 5e shards were a part of releases, and fixing it at the start of a new 5e cycle is good timing. Does mean it'll take longer to get through all the classic 5's, though.
No idea about Iron Man. If there's no comic/movie reason to move him in the pattern, the only other example we have is a possible Costume release. So nothing but guesses on that front, really.1 -
Unless it could be another error. I hope not, I need apoc as to eat.0

Webbed Wonder as a 4 day? Has that ever happened before? Not that I recall.
Also clearly some error as the 2 star reward for Webbed Wonder is listed as Venom. But since the 3 star is Captain America, I can't tell if they missed the 2 or the 3 star.0 -

I guess we'll see on the placement rewards.3 -
Running the 5e shards like they do right now, if you're playing SCL10 it happens in such a way that you can grind out a single shard cover for the required newest 5 purely from progression/incidental placement by the time they're first featured generally, so I don't complain about it myself. It was from the previous page, but I too would prefer a 5* Omega Red. I'm definitely now one of those players that couldn't tell you with certainty what the last 8-10 4* releases all do that I used to think were real Ivory Tower elites back when I was a 4* player. But MMR being what it is, you just CAN'T really care about 4*s once you cross the border into 5* territory because they don't help you hardly ever (unless they're bishop)0

All that for a 5* player like me.0 -
I think Juggernaut (+225% match damage and 90% match damage reduction)and Karnak (+560% match damage) are the most useful. Hellcat will be good in Kaecilius node.
A max champed 4* match damage are:
170/149/131/22/20/18/85.
Max champed Karnak's will be: 1122/983/864/145/118/561.
His match damage will be somewhere around the level of a 510 5* released in mid 2018, which is pretty good.

Sure, but none of those 4*s are faster for me than Okoye/Profe$$or X/iHulk in PVE, and unless they're featured I can't use them in PVP either. Didn't mean to turn this into a "4*s are dead" thread, but sadly they are kind of dead to me at this point unless they do something truly spectacular. So i've long wanted Omega Red, and it would be nice if once he arrives I'd be able to use him. Though a year and a half ago, I'd have said the same thing in reverse since 5*s were not really accessible to me as a mid-late 4* player. The stratification between roster tiers is pretty real.3

@HoundofShadow
I still feel Sabertooth is the better option for Kaecilius since the strikes need to be matched and Saber can throw out worthless enemy strikes better than Elektra.1 -
If speed is a priority in PvEs, not only are 4* useless, but the other 30+ or 40+ 5* also falls under this category.
Make Balance of Power happens at least once a month.
Sabretooth is good with Domino for Kaecilius node. I think Hellcat can be a good alternative too.2 -
Dont misunderstand when I say karnak is great for his help and his crits its not for the damage he deals. Those criticals will be used by his 5* partners doing 60k damage on a lucky drop that I did just today. He has red power super good for creating more critical moves or getting rid of cds, or use on critical tiles for more board shaking and damage.
About new 4*, they are way better than olders. What happens is that vet players have a lot more leveled olders of course, and that could make think that they are less good.
Finally yes,there are people who dont have champed okoye and kitty.0 -
Crits are great, and Karnak is better at it than most. I spent all last year growing my Chavez to 360 chasing Jessica Jones pre-shard though, so a baby champ Karnak isn’t doing a lot for me. It’s not that they aren’t “good,” it’s just the reality of how long on the actual calendar it would take to grow them such that they can survive the opponents I’m facing means they aren’t any good to me.
and I haven’t got a good Kitty either, 3/3/0, but I did spend the time chasing Shuri with bonus heroes to champ my Okoye.

I think the Iron-Man 5-star is a tie-in to the PS VR release.2

Been waiting for someone to say something over the past couple of days. Guess I'll bring it up. 2* Venom? Any chance of fixing that?1

meaning they should add one?0
