    Thanks for bringing this up. I just checked my support against the support thread and nothing was changed for Lucky and Carol's Communicator, which that player mentioned in reddit. That player was probably drunk when starting that thread. :D

    Krakoa support looks pretty awesome. However, the english structure seems off. I can't tell who they are referring to for the perks and R3 effect.

    Mod mode off

    As I read R3: so if you have Kitty and Phoenix, their unique affiliations might be Godlike, A- Force (Jean) and Excalibur, Team Cap (Kitty). So you'll start the battle with 2 AP (current cap).

    What I'm not clear on is if it's 1 Yellow and 1 Green or 2 of the highest strength. I expect the latter but I don't have the support yet to try it out.

    Just tried it, you get one yellow and one green.

    The new support does not equip to 5* KK despite her mutant affiliation.

    KK mutant affiliation is very new, previously she was only a hero.
    I guess the mutant thing is a spoiler for the MCU basically dumping all inhumans after they bought fox and got the rights back for mutants.

    Is that correct?

    Black Bolt was in Multiverse of Madness - might hint that they want to reboot at some point?

    KK was teased as a mutant at end of credits in her TV show. I wanted to talk about it in her release thread but I didn’t want to spoil anything then.
    There’s a lot to go through and I don’t want to list it all out.
    Basically inhumans exist because fox owned mutant movie rights. Disney bought fox and mutants are back.
    Inhumans failed on their show so they pulling away from it. All inhuman movies have been cancelled or pushed indefinitely. And the most popular inhuman Kamala is now a mutant.

    Spoilers!!!!!!! I don’t know how to do the tag on my phone.

    BB was in MoM but so was Peggy, and they killed them both.

    Ah I've not seen the TV show yet! I did watch Inhumans though... 😬

    If you're on Android, at the top of the text box there is a symbol next to italics with a drop down menu. When I use that it creates >! Don't know if that works by typing it. Edit: Yes it does, but only once per post.

    The only successful inhuman was daisy in the agents of shield show. But she wasn’t successful because of her super powers she was just a cool character.
    Inhumans was terrible because the lead character doesn’t talk. It works in comics, but not television.

    My guess is we will see mutants bleed into MCU over the next few movies and tv shows then have splash event that introduces mutants at large into the MCU. They have to do it before deadpool 3.

    Thanks all for the clarification.

    The ap gain feels like something that Deathlok is doing, and the mutant firing random power once is cool. This support is refreshing.

    I'm still evaluating Krakoa but I'm sad to have missed the Kamar-Taj sale since it makes a lot of sense for future PVP use... any chance we CAN have the offer run again?

    The dev said it will rotate into Support store in the future. Here's the quote:

    "At the next season shift this support will go to the support store. Depending on the timeframe of release for support shards, it will either rotate in on Puzzle Ops or benefit from the next reward structure overhaul that improves support accessibility for all."

    Support store vs a guaranteed thing (even if that thing costs money) are VERY different. I've got 30 or so tokens that could MAYBE hit what I wanted when it rotates in. Most of us can also read. If it were announced as the immediate next puzzle ops reward that would be one thing but that doesn't seem to be the case given the communications we've been given.

    Again, I've deleted posts because some users don't know how to discuss issues respectfully.

    Please report issues like this and don't respond. I'll just have to delete them anyway....

    Hmm, actually seems like they're going to use Deadpool 3 to do some of this. I've heard that the storyline is something like Deadpool and Wolverine against the TVA from Loki.

    But more on topic, I'd really like to see Supports get retouched across the board. There's plenty of them that need reworked to either 1) equip to more character and/or 2) be effective at all. I've never really seen a support do much to change a match except for very, very few options like Kimoyo Beads or Vibranium Ore. Maybe I notice some AP gain here and there from some, but any that are like "here's 200 extra damage" that honestly does nothing to gain my notice.

    Let me paste that player's question in reddit which the dev replied to:

    Question
    Any word of event or how this will be attainable in game by natural progression?

    You want guaranteed? Wait for Support Shards. And I doubt they are going to let player shard for Infinity Stones. Majority of the stone effects are trash anyway.

    They can make a real difference in Puzzle Ops, as you'd hope.

    And changing a toon's strongest colour can have a few useful effects.

    But they are best used at lower levels where those damage numbers don't look so small. So DPD round 4 in my case.

    Can't wait for them to become more widely useful.

    I'm simply asking for the kamar-taj offer to be run again because we didn't have the information about future support plans (pvp involvement chiefly, personally) then that we do now. That's it.
