    @IceIX according to 5* Jane's thread, I believe she should be the placement and progression prizes for Meet Grocket and Thick as Thieves respectively? If so, shame that it comes at the cost of Shuma Gorath sharts.

    Except they gave two covers for him that weren’t “normal” for his boss event. So this kinda makes sense to skip him.

    I really hope this won't be the case going forward, of giving with the right hand while taking away with the left hand. This is exactly what happened with sharts and the CP/LT supply. They introduced the former while reducing the sources of the latter, be it from PVE progression or champ rewards.

    I was looking at an old sheet for her release event and didn't cross reference it with her release post. Whoops. Her Shards are placement for Meet R&G and Progression for Thick as Thieves. Gargantos will be the Featured 5-Star for Thick as Thieves.

    It is, I'm currently working on the July version. Figured you all would want the data faster than the pretty calendar picture (featuring Peggy over on the right this time around).

    I wish these 5 star pvps don't count towards for regular season sims, it's just a drag dealing with such high health characters. it's no fun in doing them.

    We may just have to wait and see I think (or see if @IceIX has insights to share).  They have skipped LL before in favour of new release shards like they are doing here, and I think in the end they always made it up with a "5th" feature in PVE.  That may be the case with Gargantos and he'll get an extra rotation in.

    2 covers minus 250 shards plus up to 100 placement shards =  1 cover and 150 shards. There's still a net gain.

    To be fair it is lining up against Deadpool v MPQ so might be doable if not a mistake?

    I thought that too at first, but PVE - Lost in Time is on the schedule for the following week.

    Oh ha, I didn’t even look at the others. You’re right. Either a new event or probably just some mistake

    Is Marty McFly the new character and featured for this event?

    I hope that it is a new one. A new event would be cool.
