    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.

    MThor was certainly part of it! And also the reason why I am hesitating now. Gonna sit on it for a bit.

    I was able to ascend Dr Doom just now. Darkveil is lvl302. Coulson is lvl544 (so close!).

    ... you also have a 2nd ascended 475 Coulson, your closeness doesn't count!

    Dupe Shaw now at 345 and 3Hunter at 365, getting there

    After getting Bobbygollum and 4Vulture ascended, I had to ponder on the next "project" ... the 4s I have nearest ascension are ,,, uninspiring.

    So I made a list, checked it thrice, aaaaaand ... Shaw is the winner. Just 370'd and started a dupe. How long to gather/produce 113 covers or 45,200 shards or some combination thereof ... ?

    A while ... but a lot less time than it used to take!

    Really impressed by those with dupes nearing 370 already. Way to commit!

    3Hunter4 now at 370, started a dupe which is currently at 2/2/2. The numbers don't look great so far:( If anyone is wondering why I even bother with her, the only reason is that I hope her purple stays at 3AP/165% match damage boost even at 5*. Ofc there's no way to check that before commiting months worth of shards to it. Fun.

    Dupe Shaw at 355, getting close to ascending!

    There was someone running a 550 3a5 hunter last pvp. Yes, purple is still 3ap and 165% match damage boost. We're not supposed to name other players, but if you search for the alliance "VariantsOfTime" in game they are a commander with pretty much every character in the game at 550.

    I’ve been traveling for the last couple weeks and unable to keep up my regular play pace. My Shaw is currently 367

    Super helpful, thank you. Also, their name is kinda hilarious. Also also, that account has to be worth 1 Billion US Dollars
