    Totally agree with this. We need to see what his match damage looks like, though, and how the damage abilities scale. Defense without much offense just leads to an obnoxious metagame where everything takes forever (see Leapfrog, Colossus/SW, Chasm/Hulk etc). It looks like using other characters to kill Galactus will be slow, but hopefully Galactus can kill Galactus pretty quickly.

    Yes, I agree. Obnoxious metagame where everything takes forever is obnoxious.

    [Something something about godboost and MMR goes here....]

    I guess it'd be a LOT more annoying if anybody bothered to level up or use the boosted characters.

    As it stands, I just get to instantly shred the same m'Thor, Polaris or Juggernaut teams turn0 with whatever pile of nonsense is boosted that week.

    We don't need 6* characters, we need quality of life. I can't play 3 hours all days

    Only 3hrs a day? The hybrid vets of old would laugh. ahahahahh

    Its True. back in the day. PVE would reliably be over 90min for a placement level score.

    And hopefully the new cl10 will be closer to this. Placement will be much easier when you eliminate all the players who don't want to play for 90 minutes a day.

    As long as progression doesn't take more than 30 that's fine.

    The difference in placement between 10th (the last competitive spot) and 100th is essentially meaningless.

    I expect the new cl10 will have much better placement rewards, and I hope they'll be more front-loaded so it's actually worth competing.

    But everything about the new cl10 is extra. Anyone who wants to can stay in cl8 and play PvE exactly the way they've been doing it, presumably forever.

    Apropos of nothing but I don’t expect Deadliest Woman will 1-shot galactus. I’m pretty sure it just does a buttload of damage under the hood to kill the target, so if that is throttled down to 32k or whatever it would I imagine just do that amount

    Quests for using beta ray bill, dr strange, and moon girl giving out galactus shards have shown up in the mile stone tab

    Looks like they are win 20 battles quests, I took all three into a battle and came out with 1/20

    They are only worth 25 shards each and he takes 600 to get a cover, so it’ll be a long road

    It appears I have accidentally earned some shards for the upcoming 6*Galactus release

    Just an observation, might mean nothing more than an development oversight, but the inbox filter hasn't been updated to include 6-stars despite the fact that the roster filter has already been updated to include them. Does this mean there won't be covers for 6-stars?

    That would be interesting, but seems sort of unlikely to me.

    It sure would be nice to get some actual information about their plans that wasn't written by some stupid AI.

    The picture of Galactus shown has a comic book cover on it, so unless that is just there for a laugh I assume we are getting covers.

    Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll be available at a price in the range of buying a near mint copy of his first appearance.
