    He's decent and quite fun, though I'm pretty sure his 3 star variant is quite a bit better. Who's got him to 5 already? eh, eh??

    Has anyone official acknowledged the issue with Namora and retroactive shards?

    I think @Scofie mentioned reaching out, but I haven't seen any response, nor shards.

    Namora retro rewards are getting patched this evening and that should be the last issue remaining from our recent feeder update for Namor (Phoenix Five). If you're still experiencing issues with your account after the patch, please reach out to CS directly since we'll have to take a look at your account individually.

    Thank you!

    Should we have received the rewards already?

    I don’t think anyone got any, if we were supposed to.

    I'm guessing no one received the retro 4* Namora rewards yet. They don't seem to have been pushed.

    Nothing pushed this morning at the regular update time.

    Is everyone just waiting for their shards so they can use him? Like 75% of this thread is about retro shards and not the actual character...

    Partially, yes, for me. They will certainly get my Namor into a more usable / playable state.

    Looks like we had a technical issue last night and still trying to get it out. I'll know later today.

    I like him. His board destruction is great. Pairing him with Polaris and Beta Ray Bill is fun.

    Still no Namora retro rewards. Is the patch pushed?

    Not yet. We're pushing out R316 earlier than usual as a hot fix for some of the tech issues mentioned this week. Once confirmed, we'll start tackling other tasks like the feeder issue.

    So…how is Namor?

    I like Ph5 Namor way more than 5*Nova. Nova is boring and he MUST tank. And if his health is full, his black power won’t even fire.

    Ph5 Namor feels really good and fun with destruction teams and board manipulators. Namor + Agatha is sneaky good and those 2 can really pump up any characters match damage, let alone a Ph5 Colossus or Shaw.

    I’m really enjoying Namor/Ascended Agent Venom/Ascended (boosted) Hydra Stomper.

    Moderately good. Someone said A-tier and I agree....would be a bit more useful if you could get black AP more easily (not villain supports). If you want to use him I recommend trying to get your Atlantis support to R5 (I'm only on 3 myself).

    The black getting stronger and only losing 5 points on the extra dmg counter with a casting and only costing 6 ap, and green feeding it and being a decent counter to various SAP folks - and also only costing 6 ap - all that adds up pretty nicely. You could use him vs annoying invisibility spamming people pretty well too.

    He's not as good as Agatha or Mephisto. I am a bit torn on him vs Nova - they both have uses imo if Nova can tank. If Nova's not tanking I'd rather have Namor.

    I place him like 4th or 5th for the year January to now if you're using boosts. Without boosts maybe he's 6th. I like that he doesn't rely on special tiles being on screen to be optimal but his ap needs mean he's not going to do that well on defense typically, also you need to use his black at the right time and all that.

    We have had a pretty good year, character-wise.

    I’d be interested in your ranking of the five star characters this year

    If I'm not mistaken, since it's random effect, you can fire it again and you'll eventually get one of the other effects

    Yep, if Nova black won't cast, you don't use up the AP and you can immediately cast it again for a different effect.

    Nova isn't an all star or anything but he's pretty massively over-hated.
