DarthDeVo said: Hmm, @Dayv, I'd never considered that before. Let me ask you this, though. When 5pidey moves in to Latest, he'll join Star-Lord and Doc Ock. The general consensus is they leave much to be desired.So taking that into consideration, would it be better to still pull from the new release Legendary store, maybe pulling fewer 5* covers total but guaranteeing they aren't 5tar-Lord or Ock? Or pulling 5pidey when he's in Latest and just dealing with the other two? I suppose there's always the third way: waiting for 5tar-Lord and Ock to cycle out and really hope the 5*s that replace them are better.
Cactus_Jack_87 said: Congrats @fight4thedream, enjoy that Spidey! I'll get there soon, I'm sure! A couple comments on his powers and preferred build. Many people are saying that his red power is bugged. I don't think this is the case, it's just that his power description is a little misleading. It actually takes six web tiles, not five, to get those other two critical tiles out. Once you use red and convert the first web tile, if there are five web tiles AFTER this, it will convert another two. Because of this, many of the top tier players that have him champed are running him at 4/5/4. This build will allow you to get two webs out at the beginning, and if you can match one away on the first turn, you get two more out on the next turn. Once you fire his blue, this will theoretically leave you with 6 tiles pretty fast. At this point, you can either go for the AoE stun or his lethal red ability, but it's important to always fire off his green first before you start removing web tiles. I've seen videos of Spidey BRUTALIZING 5* champs. He's going to be a very dangerous guy if you don't keep his web tiles in check. Web-Head is definitely making me glad that I cashed in, and champing my now-fully-covered Miles is going to be priority number #2, once I get Spidey fully covered!

I'm not a fan of hoarding, so I always pull my legendary tokens as soon as they come in. Star-Lord and Doc Ock are both disappointing, in my opinion, but I'll champ them anyway if I can get enough covers. My personal goal is to champ all the 5*, so any 5* cover out of classics is always usable.If I was open to hoarding, though, I'd probably be hoarding latest tokens (while still spending CP on Classics) and hoping the next two 5* are strong. There's a lot of player speculation and hope for a 5* Thor around the time of Ragnarok hitting theaters, and it's possible that could be the last part of a Spidey/???/Thor trio in latest tokens. If not, a 5* Thor might be the one to push Peter out of Latest tokens, which would be disappointing.Now that I think about it, given the way most trios in Latest have tended to fill out an at least usable set of powers together, Spidey might make sense to be replaced by Thor... His Red/Blue/Green power set replaces Hawkeye's Red/Blue/Purple(passive), and might make sense to be replaced by a 5* Thor with Red/Green/Yellow, (2*/3* Thor) Red/Blue/Yellow (4* Thor), or Red/Blue/Green (3* Ragnarok) powers... Of course, they could surprise us with a 5* Thor that has no red at all -- 5* Peter Parker is the first Spider-Man (or -Woman!) without purple, for a similar case.

I was running dates in my head this morning, and the way I was figuring it, 5pidey should be rotating out in early to mid-November, if you figure a 5* is released every six weeks. That's about the time Ragnarok is coming out, so it probably will be Thor that kicks 5pidey to Classics. Of course, that is supposing they indeed do a 5* Thor; personally, I would be surprised if they DIDN'T do 5* Thor. He's the only original Avenger without a 5* variant.I'm curious which 5*s will be released in the meantime, though. Defenders will drop in about six weeks, and I would assume GotG Vol. 2 on DVD will come out before Ragnarok does. But not sure who they would pull from there for the 5* tier. I ended up deciding to pull. Only netted two 5pidey covers, both green. I was hoping to get one of each, but RNGesus is rarely that kind. He had my back in bonus heroes, though. Spider-Gwen went from 2/0/2 to 3/3/3. I'll probably hoard all CP and LTs until 5pidey rotates out now. Can't say I'm necessarily looking forward to that, but it will give me a chance to level up some older characters.

Dunno if this is allowed, but can you post a link to those videos. I would like to see them as I have my Spiderman 4/5/4.

I suppose there's always the third way: waiting for 5tar-Lord and Ock to cycle out and really hope the 5*s that replace them are better. This is my plan. I've been hording for awhile now. I've guessed (completely guessed) that at least one of the next two 5* will be a Thor. I'm hoping that is true and the other 5* is good. If not, I plan on waiting til Spider Man hits the Classics and dumping my CP in there because I have the entire roster of 5* that need covers.

broll said: Anyone know if you can play 5pidey and BSSM in the same fight? It would be pretty brutal if they ended up being your first 2 5* champs and you were handicapped to only ever use 1 at a time.

I was hoping they'd be in the LL together (along with a 5* War Bound Hulk, wishful thinking, right?) when I go to open my horde. I like the GotG and Defenders characters, but I would be very disappointed to cover more of one of them than someone like Spidey (or the other two).

Is that confirmation that they do lock each other out?With how painfully difficult it is to get 5* they really shouldn't have 1 5* lock out another.
BiffQJ said: I think that the original article said that the new Spidey was going to be in LL on July 6. Seeing as that is not the case, does anyone know when it's going to move over?
