    Didn't expect this. One year later. So I guess the cover will be his premiere issue released April 2023

    Also, why this comic/him? There's Blood Hunt in the 1st and 2nd quarter of this year and Power Pack. There's also the return of Night Thrasher.

    I don't mind the 2*. It helps the new players. They do want to grow the game and retain them, so it helps with their business plan.

    Dilution!

    Hey, isn’t it great adding all those levels to your ascended characters and getting all those nice rewards?

    Hmmm….maybe that should be slowed down somehow, say the devs.

    They mentioned this in the monthly Q&A. I specifically called it out in the answers when they said the release cycle was going to alter from 4->3/5 and speculated we were getting some more 1s or 2s or 5s.

    2 star releases are going to be excellent news for those players in a HP / roster slot crunch since you don't need a 2 star to do CL10 so you can safely ignore this character giving you more time gather HP for the next 4 or 3/5 release.

    @S0kun can you provide any info or details yet on what the “new” normal will be regarding releases? The Q&A response was vague and I’m wondering if this is a one-off thing, or if we’re now getting a new 2* every other month?

    @S0kun "If Mystique makes the match, add 1 additional tile."

    Is this a typo on his Blue power that should say Nightcrawler?

    More importantly, does that typo mean a 5 star Mystique is in our future ;)

    If this is the case, then maybe releasing 2* Sentinel ->3* Orchis Sentinel -> 4* Master Mold -> 5* Nimrod sometime? ;)@S0kun

    sigh...a new 2*, and one that looks like he is going to be a monster once the for sale ascended versions of him come out. He looks like a combo of 4* nightcrawler and 4* professor X.

    I don't understand why new 2★ characters would be good for new or old players. For new players it's just going to be another delay before you move on to the 3★ tier (unless you think his powers make him a total game-changer among 2★ characters?) For older players, it's just 1-4 additional roster slots you have to set aside while you Ascend a character you never use so that you're not "wasting" the covers you earn for them. Everyone is going to suffer from dilution - getting these characters to high levels more slowly, and earning the best Champ & Ascension rewards less often.

    If you claim that adding new 2★ characters is good for all players, then aren't you also arguing that the game would be even better if there were hundreds of characters in both the 1★ and 2★ tiers?

    Chiming in: there is no current plan to change the release cadence. Rather, on occasion if we see opportunities to insert characters of lower tier than the norm (3,4,5) we will. You can expect to see 1 or 2 more 2*s later this year, but that's it.

    Thank you for that.
    Although I remember "no current plans" for other things that became a thing a few weeks later.

    Mystique is his Mother so it's likely not a typo

    I'm happy to see it - would rather have a slow ascension climb for someone with straight-forward powers than another convoluted character, and need some characters for newbies.

    It does also align to my theory that the devs plan to introduce a way to unlock character costumes across all versions of that character, for which I expect we shall see more of these kind of variants.
