My Shaw is up to level 326 now.

June 3 to June 13, Shaw moved from 326 to 337. Deciding if I wait for classics to shift before pulling some there again.

Opened a bunch of LLs today to champ current 3. Opened a bunch actually, so maxed Shaw, with a couple covers of shards left over for the dupe.

The extra shards plus covers in game plus opening classics got my dupe to 289. Now the debate on whether I Ascend now or later. 290 was the original target.

Given supports just entered PVP, I'd wait and see if that matters to the MThor usage (presumably the reason you pushed so hard to ascend him). If there are fewer MThor teams in use you can afford to wait to ascend.

MThor was certainly part of it! And also the reason why I am hesitating now. Gonna sit on it for a bit.

I was able to ascend Dr Doom just now. Darkveil is lvl302. Coulson is lvl544 (so close!).

... you also have a 2nd ascended 475 Coulson, your closeness doesn't count!

After getting Bobbygollum and 4Vulture ascended, I had to ponder on the next "project" ... the 4s I have nearest ascension are ,,, uninspiring.

So I made a list, checked it thrice, aaaaaand ... Shaw is the winner. Just 370'd and started a dupe. How long to gather/produce 113 covers or 45,200 shards or some combination thereof ... ?

A while ... but a lot less time than it used to take!

Really impressed by those with dupes nearing 370 already. Way to commit!

3Hunter4 now at 370, started a dupe which is currently at 2/2/2. The numbers don't look great so far:( If anyone is wondering why I even bother with her, the only reason is that I hope her purple stays at 3AP/165% match damage boost even at 5*. Ofc there's no way to check that before commiting months worth of shards to it. Fun.

Dupe Shaw at 355, getting close to ascending!

There was someone running a 550 3a5 hunter last pvp. Yes, purple is still 3ap and 165% match damage boost. We're not supposed to name other players, but if you search for the alliance "VariantsOfTime" in game they are a commander with pretty much every character in the game at 550.

Super helpful, thank you. Also, their name is kinda hilarious. Also also, that account has to be worth 1 Billion US Dollars

Ok, hit 370 today on my primary Shaw.

Started this thread 113 days ago, so on average I guess that works out to one cover a day somehow? Didn’t feel like it was that frequent. Probably would have been sooner had I been playing at my normal volume these past two weeks or so.

Switch is at 322.

He was still featured a couple of times so some events would get you ~3.5 covers in the middle of normal pull rates

Decided I would max my dupe Shaw just to see how long that takes. Currently at lvl 317.

Aunt May dupe at lvl 185, definitely was slow to get on that train.

Dupe Shaw is already past 330, zipping right along!

Iron May is also up to 330, chugging along. Will be nice to push another 3 soon.

M'Baku .... is so far from maxchamping, much less ascending, not happening anytime soon.
