    Is there any more information about the alliance event available? It would be good to know what the rewards are, who’s boosted and if there will be a heroic version running in parallel.

    Looks like this is the end for Omega Red. They're just featuring 2 latest and right after Miles Carnage going straight to classics again with Riri.

    She-hulk classic?

    Esp since it says 'Boss - Ronan'. We've never had a Boss event before against Ronan.

    They’re giving Monica a rebalance? Ok I guess.

    I don't see another batch for Ascension on there. Right now I keep pulling covers for characters I can't ascend, so the slow rollout is causing me to hoard tokens and outright avoid the new feature more than dive into it.

    Not following what you're saying here? Emma left early around when Riri was in. are you claiming they're doing a double rotation again?

    Nevermind, I misread that. It's suppose to be 4-star Riri. The placement reward is a new 5-star. But also most likely Omega Red will be rotated out of LL.

    ok - so you're saying, Omega Red won't be essential again? not that they're rotating two out?

    I can't tell if you think she's great the way she is, or needs more than just a rebalance...

    Or if you think there are others that should be looked at first.

    Personally, I'd be ok with hitting delete on her and starting from scratch. We're getting some version a lead character from the Marvels movie, and she's the least represented of the main 3... Though 5 Carol is lacking, Monica isn't even on the radar.

    I'd use her over oscorp Spidey, but that's not saying much. I'm sure there's a use for Monica, I just don't care what that use is because she's annoying to have on the team.

    But that's just my opinion.

    I think she s going to be the three star five star release tie in to the four star to go with the movie release

    Omega will rotate out next week (I am not 100% on the current timing, but maybe Wednesday night). There has been a lot of variation in my experience as to when a character rotates out/in and when they get their last/first 5E run in pve. It appears we won’t see OR back as a 5E until he rotates in as a classic, about a year or so from now.

    Boss events tend to take the place of a 5E(and other essentials) and they just stick to their schedule for whatever reason so maybe OR would have been the 5E this Thursday without the Ronan Boss.

    At least he’ll be boosted before then as the list takes about 22ish weeks to cycle.

    I don't think she's awful now, she's fine. Sort of unremarkable, but not bad.

    The much, much bigger problem is "wasting" another extremely limited rebalance cycle on a character who's fine. There are so many bad, useless, terrible, awful characters! Rebalance them! Stop fixing guys who are already fine!

    That's fair.

    My own dislike is simply not enjoying how she works.

    I can agree there are characters more in need of rebalance.

    Absolutely agree. The other two marvels are already covered. I'm more curious if the 4 star revamp will be designed to synergize her with her two pals.

    The next release clue is “Trusted companion”, so I suppose it could be Monica. Although, my 1st impression was that it is another animal…

    Sorry, but are you being facetious or is that really ‘confirmed’, like on discord or something?
