It's the one we have been waiting for - yes Abigail Brand is god boosted! She is going to laser so many suckers from orbit! Personally - I am astonished to realise that I have every single 5* champed this Class! I don't know what to do with them all...apart from play Mighty Thor of course. I can see Crystal being a favourite too. I may also be that one guy with Moon Knight front-ish...

    Jane / Riri / Crystal I guess.
    Maybe some guest appearances from Elektra.

    I do really like Elektra I must say. If it becomes too much of a RiRi event that will spoil it as spamming her stun is like one of only 6 things the AI knows how to do and enjoys it immensely.

    I could see folks rotating that third slot based on who they like/have at a higher level, but it'll be 100% Jane/Riri.

    Jane / Riri / Emma is my speed team in shield sim, so I guess that’s what I’ll use here.

    May see a lot moon knight if chasm is still everywhere.

    Lol no.
    Moonie takes 84 years to do anything.

    He does but I sorta like him and also RiRi is gonna be a major pain, so no stun sounds good.

    Oh right he works against riri too. Hm.

    Moony is more like a backup fighter, not the main

    Well I'm screwed,

    I have 5 of them and none of them are finished. Hit-Monkey is the most with 7 covers. Kamala has 6 covers. Elektra has 4. Abilgail has 4. Then Arcade has 1. Despite Arcade being the one I actually I really wanted to use boosted.

    Arcade, Emma for the win

    I'm still actively trying to find a way to make MK work. I want to use him... It's just not reasonable to do so.

    It's 100% related to his stun immunity allowing you to actually take your turn with chasm and riri, not because he is any good. There are some good charge-spammers in this list that will triple your AP accrual, which may be a good enough accelerant to have him actually fire a power before end of match...

    His black and green aren't actually terrible (purple sort of is) but he is a tough sell if the other side aren't all stun-ny.

    So with the ambiguous time scale of "sometime in the evening of 21st" for Chasm's nerf hitting - do we need to put him back in this equation? Are there going to be two different versions of Chasm running in this event?!?!?!?!

    Well, in a rare example of good timing I champed MK today, so I'm certainly going to give him a go.

    The start-of-match stun is potentially reason enough to run him. I think you're going to see him quite a lot, his nerf doesn't seem THAT detrimental to tbh.

    But it brings up the question of whether old Chasm is hard-coded into the event or he gets replaced by new Chasm after the event starts? This will be them doing a nerf at the same time the character was going to be boosted so is gonna be weird if his powers change after the event starts.

    Boosts are hardcoded, character stats are not.

    Right, so he will change then. This could get interesting...
