    One day I would love to see something in-game informing me how many points I earned per match, and what the total is. These are fun but it feels like a mystery not knowing if or how many drops I’ve added to the ocean.

    I hope this is live since I already started...

    I was busy so I started spidersilk late.

    I'm assuming that'll accidently give me a few extra chances to add to the count.

    If you build a team for 3* DDQ note (Mighty Mighty Tossdown) and you don't have Falcon as a 3 any longer, you run find up to 3 relevant characters who do things in the Airborne category (well, I can). But...none are Sam nor Red Hulk.

    So from my reading, you can get just 1 point for the challenge no matter whether you use 3 of them or one of them.

    Is that correct?

    @2pm PST we are at 2.53M. Feels like this is a doable one.

    That's my understanding of it.

    Almost the first thing this post says is that it runs from February 14th - March 5th. Definitely looks good for the Soul Stone at the rate we're going so far. And since they seem confident enough in us reaching the goal that they added stretch goals.

    Question, if I have a costumed Sam Wilson and Red Hulk on my team, does that mean the match gives me 4 points on the offense side (not counting the enemies being fought)? And am I correct that adding in a Vulture as a third team member will NOT give an additional point, because the Airborne point is only given out once per match, no matter how many Airborne characters you use?

    Their example actually says you get a point for fighting against Red Hulk and another for fighting against Black Cat. Which is confusing when their wording says you get 1 point for fighting against "at least" one Airborne character. The words "at least" are misleading. If that's how points are counted, then it should say you get 1 point for EACH Airborne character you fight.

    Their example creates further confusion when it says you get 1 point on offense for Vulture, 1 for Sam Wilson and 1 for Sam Wilson's costume. Since Sam Wilson himself is supposed to count for a bonus point, shouldn't you get 2 points for using him, since he's also Airborne?

    Or does the presence of Red Hulk as an enemy actually count for a BONUS point, not a second Airborne point? The wording says "bring" Red Hulk for a bonus point. But is it the case that you get a bonus point for him even if the enemy "brings" him?

    I read it as the maximum you can earn in a battle is 5 points:
    1) Use an airborne on your team
    2) Fight an airborne
    3) Bonus point - any Sam Wilson in the battle (either team)
    4) Bonus point - Red Hulk (either team)
    5) Bonus point - equip a costume to Sam Wilson (doesn't specify whether either team but I'd assume it's your team only)

    So their example earned the max (5 points)
    1) Your Vulture
    2) Their Black Cat
    3) Your Sam Wilson
    4) Their Red Hulk
    5) Your costume

    In the provided example, would the score change if you didn’t use Vulture? Falcon is also airborne, right?

    Sam Wilson (Falcon) is not Airborne.

    Sam Wilson (Falcon) is not Airborne.

    And yet he has an animation where he flies! Also Redwing! I think we should get triple points!

    Ack! So the "relevant characters" list here is not a list of all the Airborne characters? Are any of the 3 Sams or Red Hulk Airborne? Is everyone else besides them in that list Airborne?
