    @DAZ0273 There’s no need to worry about losing a 4-star version of Carol. There’s no need to worry about losing the original tier of any character; as long as you have a couple characters in each tier to fight with, then you’re good. DDQ is the only regular event with tier requirements, everything else does not.

    So far.
    Who knows how this will play out.

    In the announcement they mentioned "we have no plans in the near future", this repeats a multiple times. I read it like "we don't have plans in the near future - but we have plans to release new content where tier requirements for specific characters have to be met"
    Who knows what near future means...

    I’m not personally moved by an optimal ascension strategy and finished my last 4* in Batch 1 today by baby-ascending Moondragon to 450.

    It’s good timing, since MD is boosted to 570 in DvsMPQ and let me tell (half warn) you that 550 MD will be a nightmare. MD’s match damage boost is already hitting at max-champed boosted Colossus-levels (i.e., 25k-40k) and the passive damage from Moonlight Dispersal can go from significant chunk to one shot nuke depending on the number of enemy SAP tiles. I ran MD with iHulk and ascended Melinda May (Side Note: Ascended Melinda is great) and Moonlight Dispersal triggers Melinda’s passive Shield Training AP generation, so you can fire dispersal every turn, damage the enemy with the SAP tiles cleared while healing iHulk for the mitigated damage he takes while Moondragon is tanking.

    Moondragon is boosted to 170k HP, so I don’t think the standard AOE damage options will work against her and iHulk at higher levels without a stun involved somewhere. All that to say, Ascended Moondragon is very, very good.

    Thank you!
    Since Moondragon is in the anniversary vault, I might get my dupe champed soon, so that preview is good info to have!

    Question:
    Do ascended characters count as championed characters in milestone missions?

    No, they don't.

    They do count for "collect X covers for X-Star champs" ones though... Just not the "Champ X" one. So a 1*5 cover does progress the overall cover counts for 5.

    Thank you, i finished those collect covers quests years ago so I couldn't check those.

    2.0 Champions Vault Requirements
    Is there a list of champions needed to gather tokens for this vault? Also can we have a heads up when vault like these are coming in the game so we as a community can prepare., please? Curious why the vault with the already ascended champions has 120 items instead of something smaller since the HP vault gives covers for a much more affordable cost?

    It should give tokens any of the characters featured in the vault.
    I don't understand why we as a community should prepare for nothing as the vault can't be bought. Other than just complain for complain, that's it.

    There was also an in-game notification. It’s still there under Today’s News.

    Just for clarification I was referring to the vaults that can be bought as well as when special vaults that require tokens come in because sometimes the in game message doesn't come through and I wasn't complaining simply suggesting, I didn't speak with an attitude or use strong language sorry you felt that way.

    IMO the covers needed for leveling ascended characters must be 1+Star Diference between the original star level and actual star level, for exemple a 1 star level should obtain 2 covers leveling as 2-stars character, 3 covers leveling as 3-star and so on... and an original 3-star character (Wolverine Patch) must obtain 2 cover leveling as 4-star character and 3 covers leveling as 5-star character, and an original 4-star like Wolverine X-Force must obtain 2 convers leveling as 5-star character

    It definitely feels like 3 covers for a 3 and 4 covers for a 4 is too much yeah.
    At this rate a 3 who was ascended with two 266s will take a long time to overtake a natural 3, even when both are boosted in their pvp.
