    @ThaRoadWarrior - Any chance you could edit that post and change the shot of the Black power to 5 covers instead of 3. It's always nice to know how the power tops out at 5 covers.

    It’s already showing the numbers at five covers. See the white ring around the fifth circle?

    Yeah I always post them with the dump stat set to 5. I also did punisher Max across the anniversary, I feel like we’ve seen him already though. Main Event as well.

    I've got... everybody (currently all 4->5s except Annihilus (should be next week), Purple Man, and Ghost Rider 2099).

    I haven't posted most of them because I don't want to junk up the thread with a billion screenshots! I've just been posting the ones I find interesting, or cases where the numbers go insane.

    If anybody is interested in someone in particular, though, just ask. I'm starting to get quite a few 3->5s as well.

    I figured you probably had most of them. I’m still working on my first 370 3* but it’s getting close at 361 2/3. I have a decent amount of 4* pairs, but it is going to take less time to max-min a dupe for scarlet witch and finish her than to grind 300 covers for one of the others. I’m at 62 ascended 4-5s, with I guess 92 left to go?

    I'm on track for my first "natural" 3a5 ascension (i.e. no 3a4 ascended from vaults or anything, no purchases). I might be the only one posting Goose screenshots :)

    She came out last November, and has been my favourite target ever since. I have one copy at 370, her dupe is at 247. By end of November, I should have a 3a5 Goose

    So, basically a year without a boost from pulling a 3-4 from a vault or something.

    I’m not saying stop but man, I hope they don’t toss Goose in a season vault just as you’re finishing the lower one because that would be super annoying.

    I'm not max-maxing those, just freeing up roster slots as soon as possible.

    @entrailbucket what does Worthy Cap look like at 5* ?

    Ascended Goose was in the That's a Steel vault but sadly I didn't pull her.

    But yeah, a year. I tracked it in the first 8 weeks and calculated around 15 covers a week on average excluding the boosted odds for the character launch. I wrote in ThaRoadWarrior's experiment 2 thread I was anticipating 1 year at that rate and I'm on track.

    I went with max max the first go around. But will do max-min+1 for the rest because I want the 5* and don't have patience to max another 3* nor another 3a4

    I finished Magik3 naturally about a month back or so, then they gave me the 4 star from the vault... now I have a 5 that is awesome and a 4 wasting a roster slot for who knows ho wany years until she starts getting covers. I can confirm this doesn't feel good.

    Mine is lvl502 unboosted.

    If that red passive did damage and the yellow countdown were reduced to 1 he would probably be ok or at least fun to play.

    When he's boosted the red passive is like 10k so it's a little less embarrassing. It's still not really enough to counter m'Thor though. Blue is actually a much better counter for those teams but it's about 1 or 2 AP more expensive than it should be. The yellow power is annoying but pretty easy to play around. The red active is just bad.

    Ugh, I just realized he's also 52 levels in and still that weak. @entrailbucket make him better please.

    Remember he got nerfed pretty hard, and I believe it was pre BCS -- I don't think he ever did any damage to speak of, but he basically had the Bishop passive when paired with Hawkeye.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he got revisited at some point. BCS seem to be undoing some of the more punitive Demiurge nerfs.

    Has anybody done 3* Jeff the Shark yet? His version of Don't Eat that (green) at 4* seems like it would be pretty wild with 5* numbers involved. 6 green: select a SAP type, jeff eats all these, converting them to basic, then spits them back up as friendly tiles 1 turn later with a bonus 100% (rounded up). tiles have an average of all consumed tiles

    Aw, shucks, it doesn't have to be that way. The 'spare' isn't just a boat anchor. It is an asset! On rarity-locked nodes, you can still use that character (if it's the right rarity) when your ascended is locked out. And, when you do 550 a copy, you can start over a whole tier ahead, not have to start over at ground zero. Will save a chunk of time on your next ascension cycle.

    (Have to keep an eye on the positive .... as I have quite a few of these 'spares' ... had to get my mind right ... )
