    The Blue: Cosmic Resilience.

    His blue passive is always unlocked. I will probably do black as my 1st cover.

    Maybe he will be much more whelming once you have more covers? I'm sure Mthor with just one blue cover is pretty underwhelming too.

    His blue works well with Frankie Raye.

    And he starts with 150,000 health.

    It is kind of telling though in that when Polaris (and Juggs) came along, you could make really good progress in what you could tackle just by working on getting BRB his shields or R4G their strikes. If cover acquisition for 6s are going to be THIS slow, unlocking a single power for them really should feel like the same sort of game changer.

    I dont think this is a reasonable comparison, given that 6* tier is completely new. Right now they are trying to cash in on the novelty. We all want to unlock Galactus and I'm sure plenty of people have bought the offers for extra shards.

    They would be crazy to release a 6* as over powered as Juggernaut or Polaris as their first release. No one should be expecting Galactus to be a world beater with just one cover.

    You can favor him; so shards must be coming to some Vaults.
    Such as Latest Legends

    Or not. There’s a statement somewhere about rewarding wildcard shards instead of specific ones. Not sure if that’ll just be in pve or also in some or most offers.

    If they plan to make them super hard to get (seems like it) then making you choose who and what you build makes sense. I mean at some point maybe they’ll have a store that gives out shards with pulls, but people have so many pulls stored up from various sources it wouldn’t make sense to essentially give them out for free via pulling LTs etc. It would have to be a complete different store with much higher cp cost to make sense from their end.

    I was speaking about the utility that single power / cover characters could bring to other team lineups, like BRB for Polaris or R4G for Juggernaut. If I wanted to show off the 6* Tier despite the very slow cover acquisition, I'd be aiming at creating ones that are useful in that context.

    Is there a consensus first cover color when there are enough shards to unlock Galactus?

    I did black. Blue passive is always unlocked and the active on blue and purple is meh, especially at 1 cover. I'm sure they'll be better in use when at level 700.
