    I'm playing a lot of Multiple Man and 4*Daredevil at the moment because DD passive slays pretty fast when MM fills the board with traps. Can confirm this makes Elsa's red hit vey hard without disarming MM's traps. Probably still run Chasm as the third member of the team outside of Elsa's event though.

    I haven't done anything wacky with Elsa yet, but I do have 2 teams in mind. To me she looks like a a way to nuke high health opponents quickly. Not sure it will work in PvP though.

    I was breezing through her Quests with Deathlok generating for her. Haven't done much with the 3rd, but those 2 are good together. Throw in Kang I guess as the 3rd and her Red drops anyone his blue doesn't take care of.

    Meanwhile, in Steam land, still no shards for her from either of her feeders. The good news is that we did get shards for her from Strange Sights...even without the 5E node showing up.

    Gotta love the zero communication regarding the Elsa shards situation besides "we know about it"...

    Well I guess “we know about it” is technically some communication. Not helpful or resolving but…OK I’ll stop there.

    Retro rewards for Elsa Bloodstone (Space Hunter) are currently not working correctly and we are still working on a fix. Once a fix has been deployed, we'll extend the redemption window to 4 days from that date so please do not reach out to CS if you're worried about missing our normal redemption deadline.

    Yeah, they got me with that one. Second costume bundle purchase I've made in this game ever.

    Her blue is a great Leapfrog counter if anything. May as well be the only reason to get her. Her red is decent but that's it. If her blue couldn't be used on airborne/invis/away targets then it'd be kinda garbage, but thankfully it's not the case. So red and blue are pretty decent. I'm not a fan of trap tile characters but eh.

    The thing with her blue is this: if you target an Away enemy with this, she deploys the CD tile, if that CD is destroyed the targeted enemy returns from Stunned status WITHOUT the Away status and now you can whack that enemy again with whatever damage you have. I suspect it goes pretty much the same for turn-based (not tile-based) invisible opponents but I haven't tested it yet.

    Leapfrog is supposed to be dead, though...which makes this an odd time to release a Leapfrog counter.

    ... I mean one can see how, 12-16 weeks ago, someone said "Leapfrog sure is used a lot, we need to offer a counter that doesn't basically require ascending a 4* for folks" when coming up with the design, and then 12 weeks or so later, they said "look, this is just ridiculous and a single Leapfrog counter won't solve the problem of the 4 ubiquitous defensive supports, let's just pull them all out instead".

    I mean, yeah... but, if supports ever return to PvP, you know...

    But supports aren't leaving PvP. Only 4 are going away and that's supposed to be temporary until they get rebalanced in some manner (no time frame given of course). Of course if they take too long to do this (more than a month) we'll already have a dozen threads complaining about the next bunch of OP supports (namely the free AP ones).

    I have not received shards or covers despite having a 370 Yondu and a 328 4* Elsa. Playing on Steam.

    I'm sure devs will sort it out, but I'm more concerned with the window of 4 days left to complete the challenges related to this new character to get the free 750 shards. I'm not big on PvP and I would really need a PvE situation to quietly get those shards. Here's to hoping.

    Elsa's PVP is a cesspool for Steam players. Going in without having the ability to have a third support slot and the opponent being able to run Leap, Eros, and T-Copter is just incredible👌

    5 days later... still no shards.

    Hmmmmm.

    There's a lot of similarities and overlap with these last 3 Five Stars. For example,

    2 out of 3 have simple Red AOEs
    2 out of 3 have Blue Stuns
    2 out of 3 have specialized Targets
    2 out of 3 have CD tiles
    2 out of 3 are Technologists
    All 3 have ways to deal passive damage
    All 3 have Red powers and are Heroes
    2 out of 3 have purple powers
    2 out of 3 have yellow powers

    The next 5-star better be a villain with Black, Green & Purple or Yellow powers that create fortified SAPs or Charged tiles with the ability to go invisible, airborne or away. Or maybe change the colors of the board.

    By last Thursday morning people had them, so now it's been a week although they were trying to fix this with a Steam update they released late yesterday (approx 9pm EST).

    As far as I know, no Unity person got them yet. And now they're on vacation/holiday until next Monday July 7.

    Incredible, at this point I just believe were just not getting anything, fun!

    Also their last update screwed up more stuff. Now the applicable cover screen shows up a bunch of characters you dont have covers for... which is rather confusing.

    Why don't you guys just play the mobile version? I kinda don't see the point of playing MPQ on a computer anyway but...
