    Seems like a fun payoff for CD teams, but ultimately not much more than that.

    The "choose a color" powers are almost universally worthless, because the effects are so uneven between colors. Also great: the AI ALWAYS picks the worst possible color.

    I've always thought Goblin could have used a "Pumpkin Bomb Bag" support that let him throw out an extra random Pumpkin Bomb every time you used one of his powers. Buff an older 5, add some chaos, you'll see some effects that might not get picked otherwise, odds are extremely high any time you throw them out yourself you're going to put out at least two effects, etc.

    Such a support could boost Hobgoblin as well (and make a teamup where one of them has the support equipped more interesting).

    They should have named Hobby's release store "Rebalance Needed".

    They could put Peggy in the store.

    From the Oct 2023 Q & A:

    Question: Worthy Peggy is some hot garbage. Why did you choose to treat a MPQ original so bad?

    Answer: I think that Worthy Peggy is not functioning as intended. As I write this, the team is working on making some corrections and improvements.

    I get that not every character needs to be crazy awesome, but I think the power budget also needs a lot of work.

    Purple - Fairly decent, but like people mentioned a 3 turn repeater is way too long and weak. I'd like it to ditch the useless burst heal and be a 2-turn repeater. Then it'd be popping out bombs to harass the opponent.

    Black - 8ap is too expensive. Yeah you can choose the color but it's a lot of vulnerable CD tiles. Feels like a chunk of the budget is going to this power because it gives you a lot of options.

    Blue - I like being able to reduce/add to your tiles, but think that for a 5 it should be cheaper than 6

    Will ascended scorpion give shards for the next few days?

    Yes. It’s a 4 day window.

    Are taskmaster and scorpion confirmed as primary and secondary feeders? The 4* rewards haven’t changed to reflect this yet. What do ascended rewards look like for a secondary feeder during the 4 day window?

    Mine hadn't updated until I updated the game. Then I got the rewards.

    Can't answer the ascended rewards question...

    Also, will Taskmaster be made non Limited AND can someone remind me who feeds Scorpion?

    Hobgoblin is such a dud that it's not worth the double-dip, imo. I'll take the slow roll on a few Electro levels instead.

    Thank you for this! I was wondering.

    Making Taskmaster unlimited would work well with the release of Thunderbolts in May.

    A few more weeks of Sidewinder and you'll be changing your mind about his Decoy repeaters allowing him to 100% avoid damage, especially on turn 0 ;)

    My Dupe Scorpion is 365, so I'm going to favorite him and get those last 5 levels with some LT pulls. Sure, he's not great, but rewards are rewards...

    Yeah, my dupe was 1/3/1 so I pulled my monthly hoard with him favourited to get the 12 covers I needed. I regret it.

    Hmmm. Whether to ascend. It’s quite a tough choice. Electro is useful, so a few extra levels on her do have value, and I’m almost certainly going to Hobgoblin higher than I would ideally want anyway, chasing Sam Wilson. Twist or stick……
