    Wasn't x23 just in shield training? 

    X-23 was in SHIELD Training back in March, Ant-Man this past January. The classic essentials were following no discernable pattern, but the required 'latest' four star should have been Main Event Hulk following the schedule that had been set. If this was Wiccan or Blonde Widow, I'd be hot but my 3/5/4 level 250 Iron Spider will do all right in this.
    Actually, to this point, the Classic essentials were pulling from the oldest ones (but it jumped around the group some) and has not repeated.  It’s not a true pattern but this goes against that trend. 

    Yes, 3 day Hunt, 4 day HoD.

    Well that's great for you meanwhile the less fortunate are wondering why they skipped Hulk, Nico, America, Kraven, Black Panther, Shuri, Jubilee and Black Widow. Edit to add Valkyrie, even longer!

    That turned out to be a longer list than I expected.   :s

    Well, I needed a reason to add levels to Ant-Man and X-23.... I guess I know what my 2-star farm and SCL ISO bonus is headed towards. Too bad my Iron Spider won't get me a cover, though. Seriously, stop using guys that have been out for only a few months!

    As a sanity check, it's the 3-day version of the Hunt and 4-day of Heart of Darkness?
    the new toon announcement says hunt starts on 26th and ends 30th.... which should be the 4 day variant.  but the announcement here says its the 3 day...... is my math really that bad?

    S1 starts on the 26th, S5 ends on the 30th.

    That feeling when you grow your roster enough that next week will be my first time ever having ALL FIVE boosted 4* characters champed. :)
    Nice! I just looked and I have 4 out of 5 but could champ Ant-Man if I wanted. Now I'm tempted to do so!

    S.H.I.E.L.D. Training - Emma Frost (7/26/18) *New Update*
    Required Characters:
    4-Star: Emma Frost, Spider-Man (Infinity War), Ant-Man, X-23

     :/ 

    My Spidey will be 1/4/4 after the CM3 PVP, and if I manage to make t5 in Simulator he'll be at 2/5/5. Progression cover will be a useless red. Sure that's technically enough to to be able to raise him to Lv. 209, but I'm more concerned with the fact that you guys chose to make him a requirement right after making it so much harder to acquire newer 4-stars. You received universally positive feedback on the switch to characters that weren't so new, I truly don't get it. I would have said, "Oh they just want people to drop some funds to chase the character", but the Hero For Hire offer includes everyone BUT Spider-Man! The heck is going on in that office? 
    Quoting for truth. Great way to undo one of the more popular (of the few you've had over the past year) changes. Really exposes the reality of dilution.

    It looks like Wiccan is the next feeder? I really hope not.  But he’s in the traditional spot (first pve starting Sun/Mon after the season begins).

    That would be quite annoying.

    They really should bring back latest 4* increased pull odds, giving us some chance to even cover these new ones..

    Also, if he will indeed become feeder, who will it be? Im not too familiar with him to be honest.....

    The runnng theory is that Wiccan will feed Dr S and not Mordo.  Mordo was apart of vaulting and some players even have 2 max champed Mordo’s so that would give 12 covers.  How many have a maxed champed Wiccan?  Mine is 278.  This isn’t about double dipping either.  It’s about moving away, of this is the case, from older 4* to newer 4* so their is less covers to give out.

    Sound theory, although rumours suggest giving out lot of covers wont be problem..
    anyway, what would be their link?

    Magic.  Same as Nico with Dr S.  But as we have learned there doesn’t have to be a major link between the 2 for it to be a feeder, ie jubliee -> PHX.

    At least Jubilee and Jean are long time team mates... Magic feels much more of a reach to me..
