I didn't get Juggs, Storm or any costumes but I did get Spider-Crawler so...no silver lining here at all!

I got spider-crawler too

I got Juggs on the 10th and final pull.

Now to see what a single 450 does to my MMR.

I just got my 1* Juggernaut ascended to 5* a couple of weeks ago and now they’re giving one away in the X-Men vault 🤦‍♂️

And I pulled it on my first token.

I pulled the 1a5 Juggernaut on my 7th token. Not really useful as I was literally 3 covers away from ascending one in the normal way.... What am I going to do with 2 of them?

Maybe prepare them to Ascend to 6?

Any thoughts on how that would work? 6* are capped at 13 covers.

I was thinking merging two 5* would give a 6* with 3 to 6 covers of the 6*, depending on the number of covers on the second 5*. And then for every cover adds 10 shards to the 600 total shards need to add a 6* cover.

You all are crazy if you think you’ll be able to ascend 5s.

Let’s say you spend $40 on 2 1-5 Spideys. Do you really think they want you running that bad boy with 6* match dmg and his purple with may?

Vs spending years or thousands of dollars to build Cosmic Spidey?

Really????

Cosmic Spidey takes forever and costs money now. It won't be that way forever. I don't expect to be able to ascend 5* anytime soon, but never is a very long time (oh wait, I forgot, the game is closing next week! we might as well all just quit now!)

I got the 2a4 Nightcrawler, which would've been great if I didn't have 2a5 Nightcrawler already.

How is 2a5 Nightcrawler? I am about to have one probably in a week or so.

I've actually never used him! 1a5 Hawkeye and Black Widow basically blo everyone else out of the water.

He's really good!

Purple is easy to cast off supports, does damage and generates a lot of AP. If it happens to go off on purple you can chain it forever and just kill everybody.

His red and blue are ok too. Blue seems to either do a ton of damage or none, and I can never quite figure out why.

He also has a secret passive that makes very strong strike tiles.

The only thing they have to sell us now is 6s. I don't see them adding 7s - although, maybe 10 years from now.

Right now they are rigorously controlling the pace you can get 6s at and add levels. Maybe they open that up a bit after a while longer for older ones, or maybe not. Maybe it takes 5 years.

If they allow you to take your 1-5 spidey to a 6 - how do they control adding levels to it? you can farm 1s from PVP to like 230 matches per pvp. They can't introduce specific 6* version shards....probably. Not easily.

IMO they prefer to control the 6* tier vs opening up turning characters you can just swap covers for, open tokens for etc into 6s. It would also destroy the uniqueness of those characters as a tier. And no one would be spending $50 on a bundle of sub-6 characters and even 200 shards for Cosmic Giant Man when you can just be running your level 700 1-6 spidey you built for free.

But of course, if things go another 5 years, maybe. Just definitely not for a long time. Before they do anything with ascension they need to decide to allow champing of 6s, probably.

TLDR don't expect to ascend any character into the 6* tier for at least 2 more years minimum.

I think 2 years is probably more realistic, but I definitely don't expect it anytime soon! They'll have to allow us to champion 6* eventually.

But I'll still be here in 2 years, and I don't want to be kicking myself for selling dupes, like I did when ascension first showed up.

@entrailbucket

If experience has taught us anything, it’s never sell your dupes anymore.

Re 2 Star Nightcrawler, the blue ability counts the AP in the two other teammates' strongest colours and adds that AP together. Ideally you want to make sure the two teammates have different strongest colours so you can use two colours.

The strike tile passive looks like it should be about half as effective as 5 star Sam's but it doesn't seem to work out that way in reality. I experimented in one of the recent Mystique lightning rounds running 2as4 Nightcrawler and Blob to some limited success. No reason you'd actually do this unless your Sam and/or Juggs are downed or you're just really bored though.

I figured the postponed Boss Event mentioned above would be swapped with a regular PVE, but it looks like it’s going to be Puzzle Gauntlet only instead?

I was wondering about that too

@LavaManLee said:
Yeah, I'm stunned they couldn't at least drop a PVE in the game. And curious what would prompt not running the Boss Event? It's not like the last several Boss Events were anything special.

I assume they have to update the rewards manually but at this point just didn’t Care anymore
