    I have to say though: shards go up fast when you actually pull.
    I did 68 when Magik entered, and the progress on my favourite 4 was noticeable.

    So, surprise: sharding goes faster when you don't hoard!
    Unbelievable, I know.

    I wonder what happened. Just a run of bad luck? Wong not having an existing-4* feeder at launch?

    4* will save you, though!

    I finished Starlord this week, next up is BSS at lvl543. Up to 13 550s now!

    Yeah, Wong is totally stalled and he started from nothing with a nothing feeder. I’ll probably be good on Kang.

    Oh, and hit monkey was level 453, not cover spread 4/5/3

    Got an organic Kang, Wong still isn’t doing anything. I’m going to keep pulling across the whole run of Wong to see how he drops out.

    Wong: 3/2/2 with 392 shards
    Kang: 4/5/3 with 390
    Magik: 1/1/2 with 155

    Abomination: lvl 292

    Got the Fools gold and Kamar-Taj shards, so wong is now at 3/3/3 with 131 shards. I didn’t realize he is double fed by Clea, so I’ve been getting a few incidental shards from her. Abomination is 293. 4 more covers feels like a tall, but doable order before he drops out.

    Hmmmm, so Clea and Abomination might save the day.

    Would you say...4*s will bail you out???

    Wong went AWOL for me too and the combination of bad RNG and lack of retro rewards made it difficult. I needed milestone rewards to finish him after 182 pulls, though Kamar-Taj and Fools Gold would also have done it. Seems Wong is Away quite a lot....

    Picked up a purple for Magik to be 1/1/3 and a saved blue for Kang 4/5/3 +1 still.

    Just pulling my CP in Classic still. N4tasha is now 370. 24 max champs.

    I targeted Abomination straight away. He's now over 300, and with his 2 extra covers, got Wong champed. I am slowly dipping my toes in the "classics CP" approach. I'm still nervous I can't champ all the LL's via tokens only, but it seems promising so far.

    I'm hoarding my CP, occasionally opening 100 CP at a time in classics, but using LLs as they come. Between the double Boss event, the 6 covers from Thing, and then targeting Abomination, I have both Wong and Kang champed. Magik is my current target, and I've gotten quite a bit on her thanks to the Fool's Gold and Kamar-Taj vaults, so only 1 cover away from having her champed.

    And Jeffrey also landed at 6 covers thanks to Gwenpool. All in all it looks like I'll be able to keep up, even those that don't start with Retro Feeders. My CP pool is ~1700 and that's with nearly all 3 LL champed.

    I was unable to champ Hit-Monkey before he rotated, because I had gotten 13 covers for Wong. I was going to let Hit-Monkey rotate out, unable to champ him, and use Domino to champ the monkey. But because of the Kamar-Taj vault I was able to get enough Shards to finish up Hit-Monkey. Now I'm waiting for Wong to rotate out.

    I'm about to jump to SCL10 in a few days, does anyone have a spreadsheet on enemies in required nodes. Need it so I can know when to jump back to 9 when necessary. Cosmic chaos for example would have been a nightmare in 10.

    Cosmic Chaos is the worst in 10.
    Simulator, but they haven't run that in forever.
    The one with Bill and Thor... Lost In Time?
    The others are easy.

    What's your roster look like for PvE? Are you running 5* champs or are you running 4* champs in the L300 range?

    It makes a difference in whether you consider it 'easy' or not. Quite a few challenge nodes become virtually impossible with 4* champs (like the current Kraven/Sabretooth/Carnage) and some of the required nodes are also very difficult (the Royal Family node, any of the ones in the PvE's with Mindless ones).

    I only have champed Monkey and Riri, 1 cover away from champing Kang who I think I'll be relying on the most. 37 champed 4* but only 2 above 300, most around 270-290.
    Monkey has helped me a lot against villains who are more common in pve, Deathlok to boost and he's one of the 300. Lately I'm using Kang and Deathlok cause it's faster, Riri usually as third or another technologist.
    Enemy Hp will be crazy in 10 but I'll be relying on Kang to survive and send all away.

    You might get a better response if you make a new post for this. I'm sure somebody has a spreadsheet of it (I don't), but they might not be looking at this thread.

    I’ve definitely seen such a spreadsheet at some point over the years, but I don’t use it or maintain it.

    I saw this one a while back but it doesn't have the info I need.
    Actually it does.

    After this PVE, my Wong is at 3/3/4 with 124 shards. Abomination is at 295. I'll be very interested to see how much further I can get in the next week or so on that. I hit 370 with Spider-Gwen and Flaptain this morning also.
