    Namor Mephisto halfThor is wild.
    Namor Mephsito Agatha might be a bit better hard to tell right now without a champed Namor.
    Both of these are bonkers though for sure.

    As a trio to pull for Namor Mephisto Agatha is probably the best we have seen.

    I just champed my 4 Star Namor just in case he is a feeder/secondary feeder for the 5 star Namor

    Namor already feeds Odin, but so does Angela now. Thematically, Namora could feed 5★ Namor but she already feeds Okoye, so either way they'd be changing a feeder.

    In general, they've gone with themselves - at this point I don't think there's a single 4★ that doesn't feed at least one of its 5★ versions.

    I thought Okoye was fed by Shuri? Lmao

    Shuri & Okoye are both Wakandans, so it makes sense for the former to feed the latter. Angela feeds Odin. 5* Namor obviously has to have 4* Namor as feeder. Or at least main feeder.

    A handful of 5★s are fed by multiple 4★ (usually both primary.) Okoye is one of them. Broken Circle has always made them the best thematic match (i.e. the best match in the Comic book cannon,) but sometimes there isn't one in the 4★ pool.

    My Namora is showing the updated rewards, and I should have received 1,095 5* Namor shards, but I haven't received anything yet. Sent a ticket to CS (my guess is that they are flooded with the same issue).

    Emperor's Wrath has no cap? Then he has the potential to crush any character in a single hit with the well known Polaris BRB everyone's favorite combo

    I'm honestly surprised devs didn't see this one coming... I mean the Polaris + BRB + green power tile destroyer combo has been around since, how many years now? :D

    It's not going to be much of an issue when most of the pvp is pick 2. They didn't see Gold May coming and have done nothing about that, so I don't see why they would care about a pick 3 issue.

    Based on how it's been done in the past, the retroactive rewards is a separate job from everything else - they specifically have to order the game to deliver them. Most likely they simply haven't run that job yet. I wouldn't bother filing a ticket, I'm sure it will go out to everyone at once.

    Or no-one, I suppose, if they decide they don't want to give out secondary shards, but that would be very different than what they've done in the past, so I think that's unlikely.

    You'd think so, but there's pretty solid reports of people getting all kinds of unpredictable rewards this time. Everyone seems to have gotten the initial Namor>Namor shards and then SOME people got Odin shards from the Namor changes (I did not) and then some other people got Namora shards (still waiting).

    Wait, you guys are getting Odin shards?

    I feel like this needs a We're The Millers meme.

    There shouldn't be any Odin shards given out. Anyone with a Namor has already gotten those shards before they made the change. Maybe someone made a mistake somewhere so that Odin shards were given out (maybe for an Ascended Namor, which would explain why you and I didn't get them,) but I think it's more likely that those reports are mistaken.

    I'll probably Ascend my Namor - my dupe is pretty close to done, I'll let you know if I get anything unusual.

    I just don't think they care anymore. Remember they did that weird unannounced nerf to 5* Carol (that we think was to prevent her going infinite with Polaris BRB), but it's been a LONG time since then.

    Honestly I'm not sure they should care anymore? If they were to try to knock out all the infinite stuff now they'd be at it for awhile.

    Again, that's an inconsistent thing. You'd think we'd not get the shards when it shifts to secondary but I got the secondaries the previous time rewards were shifted like that. I don't know of anyone that got them the time before that, though.

    I'm pretty sure we're going to get the retro rewards for Namora and they simply haven't run the job yet.

    They seem pretty busy, to be honest - the Classics didn't update for the season either.

    Anyone with an ascended 4Namor5 will get 1500 Odin shards at lvl451. I'll check in with @S0kun re: Namora shards.

    It's a bit weird if that's still the case given that Namor no longer feeds Odin. I don't know if they revised the retro rewards for ascended Namor, though, so he's just a single feeder to himself.

    4Namor feeds 5Namor as primary and Odin as secondary. That's why the retro rewards for ascended Namor

    It's no longer the case looking at the 4Namor5 champ rewards. But it was 48 hours ago because I received them.

    My personal take on it (and this is purely my speculation based on my own analysis of the situation and in no way any inside information or official explanation as Mods are not employees, just to be really clear...) is that the secondary feeder Retro rewards for both Namor and Namora switched accidentally: the old secondary feeder for Namor got awarded instead of the new secondary feeder for Namora. I'm pretty sure there were retro rewards previously when feeders switched from primary to secondary but this may have been when the feeder switched characters, and possibly not since ascension. Others will recall better than I.

    Sort of related question - is there any way to see champion rewards for someone who is max champed? I have 4Namor at 370, and a dupe with less than 13 covers, and can't find an in game way to see how his champ rewards have changed.

    Oh wow so went and rechecked Namors rewards and you're right @bluewolf : 4Namor no longer feeds Odin as a secondary. He did when 5Namor was released but not now

    No unfortunately there's not atm. It was one of the questions I asked a couple months ago in the monthly Q&A. The answer was "Good point. We'll have them add that to the engine update".

    Are you on the Line app man? If so, you can add me and I can send you some 3rd party info that shows the Feeder streams.

    Can someone verify that the current ascended Namor rewards reflect a single feeder and what we usually see?

    451: 1 full cover for 5 Namor
    452: 1800 shards for 5 Namor
    453: 700 shards for 5 Namor
    454: 1 full cover for 5 Namor
    455: LT
    456: 5000 iso

    After that I don't care.....I am trying to go for a 452 currently as my dupe Namor is 272.

    For those pulling for Agatha, do you think Namor is better than Nova?

    Yes by far.
    Nova does annoying **** and is pretty good boosted.
    Even without being champed Namor is a lot more fun.

    Ohhh I don't know, nova with Dr strange and Hawkeye with nova tanking is an almost perma-stun monster
