    Yelena and Apocalypse were Latest during this rotation. They won't appear as Classics until the next cycle.
    Yes. Which is why I wrote when they come BACK around...

    Those HFH colors also aren’t what were offered this cycle, they are what should br offered next cycle. 

    OH, gotcha. I might have noticed that on my own if I actually kept track of the colors offered. I just jot down character order and that's it.

    Any guesses when Polaris comes in tokens ? She should've already been in, right ?

    We do not have to guess. IceIX has confirmed that it will be October 1st.

    All is exaggaraion as I do not hoard to chase her. I have other priorities on my list.

    Still I will go for her as my 1st 5* champion. I only have 1 cover for her So chasing her will take forever and maybe I will get some others champed in meantime.
    Yeah -- I wouldn't force it.  Not because she's bad (and she is!), but because you never know what'll come out what you get.  My FIRST 5* champ was Marvel.  At the time, she was lauded as 'horrible'.  

    Now she's in a "win-finite" team.  Glad I have her, and it works wonders.

    So -- just play natural.  Things will probably work out.... especially since you like working with pretty much anyone thrown at you.  ;)
    I’m curious how Marvel has that potential. Could you please explain it to me?

    5Marvel with Beta Ray Bill and Polaris can go winfinite after a few turns as Polaris replaces matched BRB tiles which builds Green an Blue  and with a cascade or two Green goes up and Marvel's Green Power destroys rows and go infinite til the enemy is adios.

    To expand, you can have a winfinite with Th4nos replacing Marvel. 3Storm kind of works as well, but the more board shake you have, the better the results.

    @furbear00000

    @Sithforever described it pretty well.  Thanks @Sithforever!

    So... yeah.  It's not bad at all.  Here -- I'll even bullet-point it, because honestly, sometimes I wish people would do this for me...
    • BRB - Polaris - M5rvel/Th4nos (with level 5 in the green ability)
    • Match protects at all costs...  this generates more protects via Polaris, and blue/green AP via BRB
    • When you are able, fire off the M5rvel/Th4nos green ability.  This destroys many MANY tiles; each protect tile that is destroyed triggers Polaris AND BRB passives, making more protects and more blue/green AP.
    • Keep repeating the last step, as you continue to flood the board with protects, and your reserves with AP.
    It's pretty ridiculous.  And yet, it's not hard to go against, since Polaris is so paper-thin.  You could even use this team against itself, and do well, since Polaris will generate her OWN protects matching ENEMY protects.  Fun times.

    Unless you have an AP Taxer in play like Profe$$or X, Peggy, or Shuri, or there is some other wildly dangerous character like a very high leveled Carbage, don't waste you first blue fire on Polaris because she'll just make strikes for you. That's fine if you're using Danver5, but if you're using Th4nos you want to prioritize having protects out. In that case, just use BRB. As soon as you can fingersnap, you'll be sitting on 30 blue 30 green pretty easily, so I'll just fire Sculttlebutt 1x, Clash of the worthy 6x, then fingersnap, and that's the loop until the fight is over. They'll never get another turn unless you accidentally burn too much green.

    So for these one off PVP that lock out most of your roster does MMR only look at the available characters.

    No. Lower than rank 200 in Co2019 & very rarely can I find a team that I can beat.

    I had a feeling 2019 might be competetive - "newer" players are more likely to have the 4s champed and covers on the 5s, so more players in the pot.

    Anyone else seeing that the iso isn't doubled properly in strange sights? The Kaecilius node is awarding 3,500 iso for door three in slice one of SCL10. I was expecting 7k. 

    Alternatively, the tin-foil hat theory may be that the rewards have actually been reduced to 1,750 iso from the next time strange sights rolls around. Stealth nerf ahoy!?

    Yep, also got 3500 from Kaesilly.
