    What are Yelena and Juggs’ third powers going to be?

    I hope Jugg's third power is taking a break from repeatedly headbutting me when I have to fight him.

    Yelena barely has a first or second power, so I hope she gets something nifty.

    Juggs is one of the spammiest enemies in the game!

    Yeah, Jugg's dude we get it, you like to ram things, pick a second thing to do instead!

    New power "I'm the Juggernaut!"

    For 3 blue ap Juggernaut punches his opponent to death.

    Not like! But entirely possible...

    And the opponent cannot revive or be resurrected.

    No his third power will be black

    3AP “call me Vinny!”

    Juggernaut is so unstoppable he charges through the multiverse grabs a football and kicks it towards the enemy, does 50% of the opponents health in permanent damage

    Whatever the third power is, I hope it is related to an eventual Captain Britain character.

    Does this also mean they are gonna un-limit her availability? No idea outside of buying one how you get her ascended in good time otherwise. Maybe that could be her third power - going into Standards. Again assuming all this hasn't happened and I didn't notice (entirely possible)

    I would bet they will make an ascended version of her available to buy and will try and get more of your money to get her ascended immediately.

    Doop is my sleeper pick this batch

    I'm going with Mantis. I'll report back in roughly two years when she's maxed and duped lol. I think if she can get some good amount of health behind her, she could be a real headache.

    As others may have mentioned, not sure if in this thread or another I visited here. The bonus shards occurs very often and many times you'll be lucky and get a big chunk of shards. If you ever build up a decent stash where you can pull a whole bunch of times, whether it's a 5* or 4*, the bonus shards add up very fast and shouldn't take you very long to finish a character off.

    When I've had a decent stash of LL/CPs, whichever 5* I put to favorite, I earned tons of bonus shards and have been able to finish them pretty quickly. Typically I'd favorite their feeder also of course. I'm still working on the last handful of classic 5s I don't have fully covered, so I usually favorite one of them.

    However now that there's lots of 4* characters ready to ascend, I know it won't take years to finish off a 4 or 4 dupe to ascend. I usually aim for 230-300 pulls when I bust open a stash. Many times after getting some bonus shards to pop up I'm actually able to finish that character on favorite and then switch to the next I want to work on as I keep pulling away.

    Right now I have 4 Polaris, R&G dupes covered and ready to ascend if I want next batch. After them I've got a dupe Medusa, Xforce Wolverine a few covers away from being able to ascend. I know if I build up a stash, often I can finish 1 or 2 characters if lucky from bonus shards and feeders. Unfortunately many of us would like to ascend a bunch of 4s which of course will take quite a bit of time and resources. But if you aim at the 1 or 2 you want to ascend the most, bonus shards and feeders can help out a lot. For those who spend a little, often there's store offers for a character you may bring working on which can net you a bunch of shards or covers to further speed up the process.

    Yeah I've already got SM:I to 331. He's only been in packs for 3 weeks. I did buy a couple deals for him but iirc totalled 12 covers bought. Obviously I can't do every one like that but probably every other one, and if some duds come up oh well, it'll just let me focus on a classic one.

    I was being slightly tongue-in-cheek as far as the time parameter. However, I completely agree with everything you said, and have done the majority of it all in some shape or form. I'm more around 180-200 pulls when I break the hoard and the bonus hits definitely start to snowball.

    The addition of ascending characters hasn't changed my approach at all, except the 1*s. Those I started building dupes and ascending right away. No comparison between champ rewards and 100 Iso-8 per cover sold.

    Haven't ascended any 2 or 3s yet, and my closest 4* is lvl 358. I farm the 2s like I always have, selling the max as soon as I pull a cover to roster again. 3s I stopped farming and started collecting right around shardsgiving last year and haven't stopped. 4s are all rostered and champed but varying levels mostly 310-358 except new drops and limited characters.

    Still have just over half of the 5s to fully cover and champ and that remains my top priority.

    Looking at the list of batch 3 I have:

    12 3s ascending to 4s
    2 2s ascending to 3s
    5 4s ascending to 5s

    Ill buy teh 5 star versions of the 1 star base characters.

    also juggie captain marvel and polaris 5 star ascended both I look forward to.

    meanwhile my IM model 35 is level 520, about two months since I bought him. the fast 5 star level up I have ever seen.

    I definitiely think you'l have him maxed out to 550 in two maybe three seasons. your essentially back to organically leveling the 1*s.

    because of how I previously farmed 2s and 3s, I have nearly every 4* in this upcoming release ready to be ascended (at least one max and the other champed), but only have a handful of 3*s ready to go.

    ascended lots of charactrers, loving Polaris 5 , paired him with a boosted beta ray bill in the current PVP kicking ****. Also tried out the ascended Juggernaut , he is quite good. if boosted hmmm....

    I hope they don't get a nerf hammer to the their head. If this happens, it will be no different than deleting a level 370 character.

    Actually i cant wait to ascend polaris but i have nerf phobia. My 370 peggy turned into a garbage cause of her yellow power nerf.

    Ascended baby 5* Cloak and Dagger work well enough with Coulson (both boosted) in PvP. But Coulson does the heavy lifting.

    Fyi, the ascension essentials vault stays EXACTLY the same after every reset. Same 0/0/5 distro for Juggs and Yelena, same 2s(Daken, Moonstone, Cap Marvel) 1/1/1 and same single cover color for the 3s. Plus the 7 elite tokens.

    Ascended Starlord got a nerf. His red costs 8 AP now. Used to cost 6.

    Also his purple feels really weak after ascension. Feels like a nerf.

    C4rol seems pretty awesome, particularly with Coulson. Mine is 455:
    Photonic Barrage:
    3 covers (how mine is currently built) 8ap: 5-turn black CD that creates a str 836 strike every turn, then does 34,774 when it expires
    5 covers: 5-turn fortified CD, 1063 strike every turn, 51,262 when it expires

    Exec Decision
    5 covers: 5 ap - reduce cd to 0, (passive) whenever a friendly CD tile expires, improve 3 random SAP by 1898

    Energy Manipulation: passive - whenever the opponent makes a match in their strongest color, gain 4ap in your strongest color, if they are the same, also deal 9,687 damage to the enemy team
