    I have never been a part of an anniversary event so do not know the rules. Is it you only pick characters from the list? If not, I guess BRB/Polaris/Grocket. If so then BRB/Polaris/Karnak. Maybe Karnak will tag along in place of Grocket anyways, we shall see.

    Don’t have the stomach to use Carnage, Apoc+BRB+5pool/Polaris depending on team facing.

    i think it’s pick only from the list too.

    Sadly, I don't have BRB yet, and my Karnak only has 4 covers, so it's Carbage/Apoc/Polaris for me. But they do surprisingly well so far when I'm playing them. Not so much on the revenge attacks, though.

    I was using BRB/Carbage/Polaris up to about 300 points, but switched the much more fun to attack with team of Karnak/Onslaught/Killmonger who can create crit-spam on 2 colors for maximum nonsense. We'll see if it can float, but it is pretty nice on offense.

    I have Apoc & BRB champed so those two + pick one other. So far I have used Onslaught, Yelena, Polaris, Hellcat and Karnak.

    I’m guessing the best three are brb apoc and Polaris. I don’t have enough covers for brb and apoc to be effective. So I’m running heimdall killmonger Polaris. No wins on defense don’t think I’ll push hard for this event

    With enough luck, you can Make a winfinite with iHulk and Karolina. Just keep making her airbourne like you would vulture. If an ally is Airbourne, then he will just keep resurrecting and getting more match % damage up to the cap.

    Combinations of Apoc, BRB, Polaris and Karnak will probably be the fastest and most popular teams. Killmonger and onslaught combinations probably being the next most used. And specific C5rnage and Polaris teams could be popular. 

    Northstar can work really well with Apoc because he can get you Black and Yellow AP for a cheapish blue cost. 

    Maria Hill's pink traps deal quite a lot of damage when maxed out. 

    D5ken and C5rnage seem like an obvious duo. Chase black, and profit off of D5kens repeaters. Maybe use Antivenom with them for more cheesy healing on D5ken. 

    Negasonic and Heimdall might work together. I don't have many covers on him to test.

    Class of 20XX locks out all other characters who are not from that particular period.

    I see quite a number of Polaris/BRB/Heimdall. I suppose it's due to his true healing and their feeding blue aps, which allows Heimdall to also reduce ap cost for green and other blue power.

    I thought early on in Heimdall’s release he would see play with BRB because his already cheap blue got cheaper every time you fired it by putting out a fortified blue CD. Obviously that meta never really materialized in standard PVP.

    I think that would have been the case if BRB put out protects on damage for each repeater. The fact that they do not suggests that would have been crazy broken.

    It was more that  he does about 12k damage when he puts out a fortified blue cd, which for 3ap is a very high damage output.

    Finally settled on BRB/Carnage/Polaris after wiping with several other teams.

    BRB/Polaris/Karnak here

    Love events like this when characters are locked out and some metas become unavailable. would love to see events like this running more regularly, run it alongside the normal events so people don't cry (I know, they would). 

    Still think there should have been a blip event after Endgame where half the roster are unavailable

    BRB/Carnage/Polaris - worst team to face against

    BRB/Apocalypse/Polaris - easiest team to beat

    This year will probable be the last run of Class of 2020, seeing how they didn't start from 2019 this year.

    They could do a class of 2099. Where you can only use OML and Spiderman 2099. That would be amusing as an April fools joke.

    That was the worst PvP event in the history of MPQ.  It was like shield sim, but somehow even worse.  Please never boost Polaris, Beta Ray Bill, and Carnage during the same event again.

    Don't laugh. That's a very possible event. It'll likely be a pick-2, though, with Miguel or OML randomized at the 1.
