    Where is everyone getting all of these covers lol or it shows how little iplayed in last 3 or 4 years

    Only 3 star I got pushed to 5 is storm
    I'm lucky if I got some 4s max let alone start to work on a duo

    Same with 3s. I got them all max but nowhere do I have a 2nd more more then mid range

    Keep in mind I’m not max-maxing any 4s, so I don’t have a pair of max champs for mine.

    I now have a saved cover worth of shards. Moving right along…

    I play every day, but not trying to squeeze top 5 out of everything. Not sure if that's casual...That said, I targeted coulson months ago, when he was crazy ascended. He's still really good so I kept him. About 20 covers away from ascending him, so...5-6 months so far?

    One thing making this feel like it's taking much longer is the craptacular string of 5s meaning I haven't pulled a ton of LL in a long time. Not since Omega red and even then it was just for him.

    I MIGHT pull for May 5* when she's getting ready to leave the store, because I think she goes well WITH ascended coulson, but not sure yet.

    I finally ascended my first 4* America Chavez and I am working on getting iso which is my biggest slowdown factor. I have Mordo and X-Force Wolvie ready to go as well. Like TRW I am Max-Min coz who knows how long this game will be around and I want to have them ASAP. I'm also still finishing off the Classic 5* tier and keeping up with new releases. I think if I can finally finish the 5* tier I can turn full attention to ascending as I can champ the 5's at my leisure.

    took simulator to 50 wins, so now i have a saved cover in the bank and 748 shards on him. I don't know if I'll hit full season progression for those Shaw shards becsause I haven't been keeping up with it as much. 11 days left and I'm only at 3293 points.10k seems pretty far away.

    Went ahead and champed Shaw so I could stop talking about how many saved covers he had. Currently level 274.

    I'd love reports on how much of a pvp meta-killer Shaw is, I'm about to ascend my current favorited 4 (Nico) and can't decide if I go after Shaw or start the long road to a killer 5* web-team.

    I have 39 ascended 4s, I could ascend a few more but I am doing that at 280 rather than 271. But your threads have me opening more classics and I think that is pushing things along (plus I am no longer going to hoard forever).

    I have a project to max/max Riri but then I think I might switch to Shaw. Or maybe Doom.

    Doop does seem like a good choice; M’Baku is another one I’d like to play with.

    Monday check-in: Black King is currently sitting at level 280 with 309 shards.

    I'm now ready to start this journey as well. I wanted to finish up maxing out America Chavez before switching to Shaw. My Shaw is at 273 with 10 shards. It also helps since I just moved my 5* favorite to Emma (witch is sitting at 2/1/2).

    I do have 150 LL saved up, but no other resources saved.

    See you at the finish line.

    I’ve been meaning to check in on this thread as I also am going in on ascending Shaw as soon as possible. Top100 pve alliance, top 200 player pve. Going after any Shaw covers I see in PvP so I’ve been putting in more work than normal in SS this season. I’m also spending LLs as soon as I get them but I’m gonna save CP until I get to 1580 and then I’ll throw 20 in CL each time I get to that number. (Obviously I want to maintain 1560 because then I can immediately champ a1 cover Shaw dupe)

    Currently my Shaw is at lvl 320 and I have 1175 CP.

    man, placement makes a huge difference, I'm about 39 covers back from that at 281.

    Luck for the pulls too maybe? I'm also going the Shaw route, and I think my play is comparable to Tiger_Wong: Top100 alliance, normally late bracket joiner (so top 200 PVE). PVP up to 12 wins, sometimes more. CP on classics.

    My Shaw is L292. 28 covers back on @Tiger_Wong , but 11 covers ahead of @ThaRoadWarrior . An interesting range to start off here.

    My Shaw is lvl312, but Angela became ascension-eligible sooner than I expected, so I had to bonus her again to get her dupe built quicker.

    I'm also in the same rat race, mine is at 314

    My Phyla-Vell is now fully covered. Shaw is 283. I’m walking my 5* favorite around to whichever character has the most shards until Aunt May hits latest.

    It took from support shards going live until now to get my 3* power stone to 4*, but that’s a thing that happened.

    Update.

    My Shaw is now at level 325 and I finally got my CP to 1560+. Shaw is still featured (not really) in LL so even though the chances are very slim that I’ll pull a Shaw cover, I’m gonna keep pulling LLs until next season starts when I get 1560 + 25 CP.

    When next season begins, I’ll pull at 1560+20 CP.
