    Thanks @Neko, welcome to the forums.

    Happy to see that Webbed Wonder will give out Sighclops sharts.
    Why is it though? Sighclops is out of LLTs. Should be Knull.

    It is strange, but I need them so I'm here for it.

    Usually Puzzle Gauntlet begins on the same day as the new PVP season. Are we getting another extended off season? Just curious.

    Nevermind. Puzzle Gauntlet is starting tomorrow.

    Cyclops was still in LL when the events started. Hearts of Darkness started Sunday, with Cyke as placement rewards, and he didn't rotate out of Latest until Tuesday, so he's the featured 5 in the following event (Webbed Wonder), regardless of which characters are in Latest.

    The game is set up so that you can play well one event and earn covers/shards for characters needed in the next event, and what you're suggesting would have Cyclops shards go to waste (rewarded in placement, but then not useful in the following event because he isn't required), AND would have denied people a chance to earn some Knull shards (possibly their first cover, since he's new) before he's required in an event. It's basically the opposite of "should be Knull," because that's how the devs have set up the character cycle.

    I need 210 shards to champ him so I'm really happy about it.

    Will 5*Colossus shards be in PvE progression rewards anytime soon? Or will he miss his final turn to Ronan? I ask because I have 1,250 shards ready to spend and am wondering if I should target him while I try pulling more from LL or some other 5* that is closer to a full cover.

    Why Iceman instead of Thanos in the boost list?

    He should run at least 1 more time (not sure about 2).  He doesn't rotate out for another month, so he should be the essential the right around when he rotates out.

    Just noticed sighclops H4H offer is 250CP. I.e. the out of LLTs rate

    As it should be; he was out of latest when the event started. That’s why it typically straddles them dropping into classic I always thought.

    4-star clue: I just saw an ad on Facebook for a new Pride Month character Somnus. Seems like a weird choice but does fit the clue.

    I went to google Somnus and I can't find any data about this character at all from Marvel. I found references from Final Fantasy though.

    This character is so new that you can't google anything out of him.

    https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/steve-orlando-luciano-vecchio-somnus-marvels-voices-pride-1

    Somnus debuts on June 23. However, the next 4* is released on June 17. Isn't it too early for that?

    You can actually.  That's how I found out.

    It's not early.   If Disney wants something done, the devs have to do it

    Won't the dev be spoiling this character?

    The Devs can't spoil anything that Marvel doesn't want them to, so if it is the new guy then Marvel are onboard.
