    Looking forward to see whether the AI suicides with her and that black power in her PvP. I hope so coz she sounds annoying to finish off, like 4* Elektra's black

    I really like the design and think she will be fun to play with but very annoying against. My Apoc is low enough level that she'll overtake him fairly quickly, so just need a black battery to keep those protect tiles low and the damage coming thick and fast.

    Nope. Why would anyone max+min a crummy 4* like Spider-Woman? Seeing as she wasn't feeding anyone, why have already ascended her at all?

    Ascending a max+max is now no "risk," so you may as well, but in those cases I make another new 4 star version of the character since the reward progression is better on 4 stars at 1:1 than 5 star at 4:1. When I ascend Spider-Woman, I'll definitely do that, particularly since she feeds a 5*.

    The “risk” is that a 4 that feeds no one and becomes a feeder will give you retro covers twice if you ascend inside the 7 day window and you’ll miss out on the double dip if you ascend them before that.

    It’s probably immaterial for anyone with 2 370s, really. One round of retro covers is enough to get going. But in the case of a useless character there’s not a compelling reason to ascend at all other than you can avoid the need to roster a 3rd copy you may not want to.

    LOL. I'd love to say that I would never dream of intentionally racing a 4 star up to 370 in that magic week where they give retro awards so I can "double dip," but since my dupe Spider-Woman is 359 I'm totally going to favorite her when I pull at least a few dozen LTs tomorrow so I can double dip.

    I don't think I would if she was much lower, to be honest, nor would I hold back a 370+370 from Ascension on the off chance I can get an extra 12 covers for a new 5 star down the road. That chance is just much too low, and the rewards from those 12 levels are pretty darn good...

    TBH, Classics are a really good deal at this point if you're looking to advance your whole Roster. Heck, they're a pretty good deal if you just want to advance two specific 5 and 4 stars, since the Shards do come relatively quickly. The extra 20% on pulls coupled with the slightly higher chance of 5 stars is very good.

    I didn't even look at her "litter-mates" until now. You're right, they suck. Classics it is...

    That's a what, not a why 😜

    Presumably the why was that, after many years of pulling tons of classics and LTs, you had 4 copies of SW (and many, many other 4s ... the big boy version of a softcapper's clone army!), 3 of them maxed, and wanted the loot and roster space.

    If my quick count is accurate, there are 42 4s not feeding anyone. Thankfully almost all are terrible. So no reason to push any of them. The big exception is Coulson, ascended Coulson is awesome. If he gets a feeder, oh well, clean up later, enjoy his utility in the meantime.

    I've only ascended 15 4s so far, all of them feeders, so I haven't had to burst a vessel over retro reward shenanigans yet.

    Hmm, I just got seven covers for May Parker that could only come from my ascended Spider-Woman. Or am I missing something?

    I think I might be missing some shards for May. I have an ascended spider woman and only received 1800 shards. Should I have received 2500 at least?
