    Thank you!

    I missed that entirely. I’ve missed out on the opportunity to double up on a couple of others. Oh well. Que sera sera.

    For those saying Agatha, Mephisto and namor.... Why? I don't see much synergy with them especially compared to MThor, Namor and Emma\Shang

    Am I missing something?

    The folks saying that most likely have those other characters maxed out already.

    I'm not sure if this is a good trio to go all in if you've got absolutely nothing else (which, again, is the vast majority of players) -- these guys are really good because they're very strong with the guys that veterans are already using.

    I didn't chase him either because he sucked. But a while ago there were Q&A responses about finishing the P5 so about 6 months ago, when I had nothing else I wanted to chase, I put about 50 levels into him to max him and get his dupe to 271 for when this day arrived.

    @bluewolf - may be stating the obvious but you may want to put the extra 4 covers on him for the cover at 280 and the 700 shards at 282, and you can champ P5 Namor.

    I was going all in on with Nova but will now wait until he cycles out and go all in with this new three. Even if the next one is Meta I can then overpull but I like Agatha so won't let her cycle out and miss her. I certainly don't have a many 525 and up but I have enough to get my goals for pvp and pve/boos events are now so easy I could play them with my feet and a random 4* generator, let alone with my 5*.

    In fact I propose a random team selector option for 1.5 times the points :D

    I like Nova a lot. Got him up to 490. I'm either gonna keep pulling now with Nova or stop until he rotates out. Waiting to see more of how Namor plays than my current 1/1/1 version can show me. And like you my real goal is more levels on Agatha while she's still in latest. She's at 475 now, wanna get her to at least 500.

    I managed to get 2 of the 3 do his abilities 20 times done for a cover. I did his Black and Green. Polaris and BRB for his green is insane I never cleared one so fast

    Trust me, I’m going for as many as I can get before the ascended feeder rewards go away. My dupe up to 276…8 covers so far. Should be good for champ especially if I buy the costume coming later today.

    Still no communication from the devs on the fix for Namora secondary feeder shards for 5* Namor? It's not like there's a PvP using him any time soon.

    I too would very much like those missing shards so I can use him in the PVP.

    I love Namor and was excited to complete the Phoenix 5 team but seriously, why does Jane and/or shang have to have the most synergy with him? I am so bored of the same characters slotting into every team.... I wanted to run Namor, Emma and one of the other Phoenix 5 yet literally none of them synergise

    But pretty accurate though, in the comics they were always bickering like a bunch of mean girls. That's what led to their downfall. And wasn't Namor always an arrogant prick and picking fights with everyone.

    Anyway, I'm sure a team with Colossus will do very well and still a good counter to Mthor Shang Chi. And Emma gets along with everyone.

    The devs are really awful at designing synergy like that.
    I do think they try -- it just sorta never works out the way they want. Plus, aside from Colossus, the rest of the P5 are kind of middling.

    On the other hand, m'Thor and Shang-Chi have really good synergy with almost everyone, because they're really good in general, and also don't get in the way.

    So I doubt they did any of this on purpose.

    So, Namor! Do people like him?

    I LOVE board destruction (which is why I love MThor), so I'm excited to try him!

    I "double dipped" (I completed my second 4★ Namor yesterday and Ascended them,) so my 5★ Namor is in the mid-460s. I've run him a bit in PVE and of course in the last PVP, got a reasonable way before needing to shield.

    I'd say he's decent... probably A tier (not S.) His red does not hit hard at all (at 5 covers, boosted to level 592, it does about 10K,) but with MThor it gets super cheap very quickly. His Black hits reasonably hard, but doesn't quite get to "overwhelming" like some other powers (even with a lot of Wrath points it was landing in the 50-60K range at most. I just respeced him to 5 black, though, that may make it much better.) As people note, MThor is his best pal as she does constant tile destruction (which he loves,) and they only overlap in Red. The third is pretty optional, but don't pick anyone who needs to keep a tile on the board because there's a lot of destruction going on. I used Strange because he's boosted, but his eye got blown up a lot...

    Has anyone official acknowledged the issue with Namora and retroactive shards?

    I think he's really good, but he's actually hurt a bit by the fact that his best partners are so good.

    Like m'Thor Shang-Chi facerolls everything already. Is m'Thor/Namor a better pick 2 team? How much better? Is that even possible? Is Namor a better 3rd than anyone else for pick-3?

    He will absolutely be a must-use when boosted, which puts him above many other characters.

    Agatha is great with her purple tiles. Also all the cascades make for big match damage very quickly.

    That's a very good point. Hey, she will even be in the same pool with him!

    Seriously, though, now that I've maxed my second 4★ Namor I'm done pulling Legendaries until the Agatha/Mephisto/Namor pool, which will probably be the best pool we're going to have for a while.

    I'm just under 440 pulls right now and my Agatha is at 509, I should be able to finish her before the end of next season and make some very serious gains on Mephisto and Namor...
