    Another good day to be a hoarder. The long-term strategy of always holding one max 2, 3 & 4 and farming a 2nd has really paid off with all these feeders.

    Of the new 4 feeders, Fist is my best at Max+280 which is great seeing as he feeds the best 5* on the list.

    The stats guy in me wishes that I had saved a snap-shot of my roster before these feeder updates rolled out. Not that it is a big marker of anything, but would have been interesting to see how much my average 5* level bumped up after them all.

    With these feeders the devs are really spoiling us!

    Yep I definitely wish I'd have kept my maxed 3*s and started new 1s to farm instead of selling them.. your going to make a killing this time around lol

    I’ve kept two max-champ of every 2*, three of every 3* (plus one for farming), and will never sell a 4 or 5* (they just take too long to max). Though I do have dupes of some 4s most are sub-280.

    Suffice to say, being more of a collector. I’ve come up huge this Holishard Season. My CP/LT hoard is as high as it’s ever been. And thanks to the feeders on release it’s going to continue to grow since I’ve champed everyone through Arcade, and Riri (7 covers) and Monkey (5) are half done before even opening a token.

    I feel like a dragon sitting on a pile of gold (and dupe 3*s). So powerful.

    Wow that's ALOT of roster slots.. I'm nowhere near that lol I have 92 4s champed and 3 5s.. a long way to go

    I’ve always felt like roster slots are the best investment in the game because they are the only thing that is permanent. Even characters can be deleted lol, but slots are forever. I would always buy big during roster slot sales knowing they would eventually get used. At first, I started housing dupe 3* as a “placeholder” of sorts. Like if I need a slot in a pinch, I could just sell a max dupe. Well I’ve been in 6-figure HP territory for so long that I never needed to sell a 3*. So I ended up just keeping all those dupes. Now I’ve grown attached.

    I realize that the collection aspect of the game really is the whole game for me. I get T5 in a PVE or T100, it doesn’t matter because the treadmill doesn’t stop. There’s always another event right after. But looking at my roster and seeing now SIX Bag-Men is a fun use of my HP because that’ll endure long after this holiday vault closes or the FFW event ends.

    Current slot count is 522 by the way.

    And I was doing this when I was FTP. I only recently started spending more than 2 dollars a month with the new developers because I really appreciate the changes they’ve made and ways in which they communicate with us.

    I've not spent alot of money just the odd bits on hps when needed..my roster it at 271.. 6 figure hps?? Wow I was in dream land when I had saved 16k which I spent most of on shards for apoc so I could champ him I decision I later regretted because I would have eventually champed him anyways lol

    Yeah, I don’t really spend a lot on boosts, shields, vaults (other than the anniversary vault), etc. I’ve also been playing for over eight years, so once you get over the “walls”(iso wall, HP wall, etc.) and get your farms up and running, it’s pretty easy.

    I stayed in soft capped 4* land for a long time, so, when I finally made the leap, I was able to hit the ground running with all of the top-tier characters in the five tier, and everyone championed in the lower tiers. Having those farms ready to go made keeping up easier.

    Really pleased that Havok is getting some attention. He’s mid-tier but really needs to be fully covered to be effective.

    Nice work devs! The sequential rollout of these feeders was a great idea.

    This means I HAVE to iso Dane, this is gonna be just as painful as Puck was.
    But still excellent work devs, and a happy shardmas to you all.

    I believe this one was fixed in last week's feeder changes. I received a Ronin cover amongst the feeder update rewards (it was in the notification) and the 3-star Hawkeye update is the only plausible reason I can think of for receiving this cover.

    I got rewards for Kate being primary and Ronin secondary again last update. Same as the first update they were included in.

    Edit-just checked 3* Hawk and the swap happened. I'm rather happy the way it worked out, I prefer Kate to Ronin anyway.

    The swap happened as listed in the 3* Hawkeye champion rewards, however, the actual retro rewards were as you said the first time. Kate was primary and Ronin secondary again in the last feeder update.

    I'm sure of this because I was waiting for the 2 Ronin covers that would have max champed him. Instead, I received all shards for Ronin and 2 covers for Kate again.

    1* characters have always been interesting. There has never been an impetus to roster more than one, an interesting choice for a collection game. I sometimes think they could be used to provide a source of iso, such as when fully covered they can be sold for 10k profit. But then, the way iso is structured as one of the limiting features for roster advancement it is probably working as intended.

    I use 1* Spider-Man exclusively for the train 3 powers milestone so collect and keep him on the vine for that. I don't have any others rostered and am pleased that the concept of 1* champion rewards appears to be on the "never" pathway at present.

    Shouldn't America Chavez feed Gargantos instead of Elsa Bloodstone?

    Elsa is a monster hunter so I guess the logic follows but it would be much better for me if Chavez did feed Garg!

    I’d be all aboard the America feeding Gargantos train as that would give me another cover for him if that was the case.

    As it is I’m really looking forward to that next batch of feeders for next year as I don’t have a ton of champed 4’s over 280 but with that batch ALL of them are over that mark for me so I’m excited to get those rewards when they arrive.

    And as always, awesome job to the devs for making this happen. Feeders now mostly all make sense and the rewards have been very plentiful and generous!

    I went ahead and rostered all the 1s after the November Q&A introduced the possibility of 1* champs. I also was at a “full Pokédex” moment of everyone else champed who was available to be champed.

    I received both pushes of rewards, the initial incorrect Kate cover and Ronin shards two weeks ago and then the Ronin cover and Kate shards last week.

    It doesn't look like 4* Grocket feeds anyone. Am I missing this somewhere?

    With this round, 3 Star Punisher's second 4 Star used to be Deathlock (according to old docs I have I use for my own record keeping) but got replaced with Maria Hill.
    Is Deathlock fed with anyone now?
