Whaaaat... no 5* in December???

Hammer3001

I’m good with a month to boost my other 5-Stars

AdeptusRevolt

More ISO for the desert.

concillado

Ah well on with the speculating guesses on the next 5* ;-)

Paste Bucket Pete

Omegased

Wow that's a first, no 5 star.

SuperCarrot

I was going to unhoard for 550s after Nova was gone and I could see the next after Namor…now I kinda feel like this

(I still assume it was a mistake to not list the 5 star)

MackDan1

Ascended 3s are a little more useful than they use to be in pvp. Could we get a little more variety though? Not just new release 4s and 5s as the center character. 11 of the next 13 pvp event are 3s. Just balance it out a bit please. Some variety would be nice.

DAZ0273

Is that right we have five boosted 5* this week? I suppose as two of them are a bit useless it isn't much of an advantage.

bluewolf

It would have been fun to schedule a Spider-Ham PvP for the off season so people could show off the costume if they buy it.

Just a thought.

WilliamK1983

Is skipping the 5* release gonna mess with the LL rotation? Is Namor gonna be delayed and Nova extended? Has anyone seen an answer on another platform?

Hellblazer666

Devs please fix the computer players in the tug of war Puzzle gauntlet it keeps matching the the tug of war tiles constantly and making it take forever to win.

Hammer3001

I’m calling it: the 4 Star will be Santa Claus!

An omega-level mutant with time & reality warping powers in addition to psychic powers.

And the 2 Star will a Red Skull; just so everyone stops asking for him.

Thought I was the only one. Super frustrating, more than usual the tug-of-war.

it was happening a lot on the one with Negasonic + Black Bolt and the one with Thor and Cho Hulk

KGB

I find 4 star Gamora invaluable on the tug of war nodes. Her Blue stun that stuns 2 enemies is super useful when you get the Tile counter down to 1 so you can stun the enemies and ensure it goes off on them. But any stun lock team works.

KGB

DAZ0273

Possibly I was lucky but the tug of war stuff was a breeze for me this time.

BriMan2222

If you guys have ascended coulson and multiple man, mm insta win works on every node. Ap boosts and you win by turn 2.

I'd be very surprised if that was the case - it is much more likely that Namor will go in on Thursday and Agatha/Mephisto/Namor will get an extra season in the tokens.
