    I ascended Shaw yesterday, I think. Coulson is lvl537, Dr Doom is lvl350.

    Looked at EB's Shaw and some of the percentages went down a little but he still takes 50% less damage and has 103k health at 450. Also still removes 5 charges tiles so still a decent counter to Jane.

    30 weeks and 3 days since he entered packs minus 1 week when I switched to Jessica Drew to get some more covers for Spidergirl. Not a whale but not free to play either, probably $50 - $100 a month.

    Let's see the number on his green!

    My Shaw is currently 333 with 104 shards. Scarlet Witch is level 308.

    Week 8 is complete and I leveled Shaw to 370! I have a duplicate started (just 1 cover) as well. I'm switching around my 4* favorite for now as I have a few more close to maxing out.

    Shaw at 318 ... far from duping much less ascending. Big Pull next week ... unless the next 5 appears to be BEYOND AMAZING (ha) ... whenever I do pull, there will be a flood of progress, enough to max+max Shaw ... but so many priorities to choose from ... !

    Hard to imagine whoever comes next being more important than 5May though.

    Many things are hard to imagine until they happen.

    A lot of players are VERY excited about the next 5 based solely on who it is.

    It's nice to have characters I like, but as far as spending game resources .... much less real-world resources ... I only care about what they do in-game.

    Many thinjgs are hard to imagine ... until they happen. I'm pretty committed to pulling for May-Jubes-May, but will re-evaluate when new information is revealed next week. I already have May champed ... hopefully I will be able to 550 (or near 550) the current 3 and have enough pulls left a/o swaps left to push the next 5 to high levels as well, should they prove to be amazing.

    Since this is basically Shaw thread, I was thinking about how the Hellfire Club support makes him avoid Chasm’s stun (at least the first one).

    Supports in PvP! Whee!

    My focus remains on pushing up old metas who had high level dupes as I was gone for 3 years and hence that’s the much lower hanging fruit. Chavez was first and she’s so fun.

    My Shaw is at 339. I champed Phyla Vell who went straight to 464 earlier as well.

    Bit of a slower progress this week, dupe Shaw at 292, 3Hunter at 349

    With Phyla-Vell out today, I managed to get my 2nd Shaw champed. I'll probably take him to at least 280 for the Emma cover. Amazingly fast progress on 4* compared to 3*

    3* Goose meanwhile, (with a little extra help from her PVP event), is now at 342 and slowly getting closer to the 370 mark.

    Going to start working on a Big Pull tonight.

    Pulled a Shaw from a Heroic this AM, I am taking that as a good sign :D

    Shaw is around 320. He's not first target for the Favorites Firehose, but he's pretty high on the list!

    Yeah I'm really wishing I'd gone for M'Baku and 3* Aunt May at this moment lol. But that's ok, I think it's instructive to see various playstyles and how long it's taking us to do a brand new release to max-champ.

    My Shaw is at 341 with 106 shards, and my Scarlet Witch is at 311 with 1 of 3 applied and 27 shards.

    My Shaw is up to level 326 now.

    June 3 to June 13, Shaw moved from 326 to 337. Deciding if I wait for classics to shift before pulling some there again.

    Opened a bunch of LLs today to champ current 3. Opened a bunch actually, so maxed Shaw, with a couple covers of shards left over for the dupe.

    The extra shards plus covers in game plus opening classics got my dupe to 289. Now the debate on whether I Ascend now or later. 290 was the original target.

    Given supports just entered PVP, I'd wait and see if that matters to the MThor usage (presumably the reason you pushed so hard to ascend him). If there are fewer MThor teams in use you can afford to wait to ascend.

    After a long pulling weekend, Shaw is now at 355.
