I haven't actually pulled yet but if you need yourself some cranky Kree, seems you can go nuts.

I wish Colossus could have had a bit longer. *sob*

    Last night I was excited to start pulling… and couldn’t even remember who the 5* was that I would be pulling for. 

    Guess that says right there that he’s probably not going to get much use.

    I'm only interested to know if his blue repeater damage bug is fixed.

    Yeah, I kept pulling until last night to try and get more covers for Colossus before he left. With my very last pull I ended up getting one more cover for him. Now I shall hoard until Knull leaves.

    Stuff it, I pulled. 86 LLs got me the 5 covers I needed to eventually champ Wanda, and also 4 Knull covers and 5 Ronan. Now, back to hoarding.

    He's kind of bad to be sure, but this is your last chance for Wanda!
    I'll probably keep pulling, but I think I'll wait until the next 4* is in before I start.

    0 pulls. Switch is champed and Knull is already at 7 + I'll get 2 more of him from shards by the time he's done being featured, so I'm not really looking to get too many more or go overboard on Ronan the Barbarian (currently sitting at 3 covers plus can reliably count on 3 covers from shards) so I'll start pulling once She-shocker goes into the pool. I guess that's another month of hoarding...

    First 3 pulls were all 5*, one of each. I could have stopped there but my Wanda is only 2/3/2. Figured I should pull more to try and finish her. 27 more pulls before I run out of latest tokens and I got another 4x 5*, 3 more Wanda and a Ronan. 260 shards away from championing her (will be down to 60 shards after pve ends) and I'll wait closer before she leaves before dipping into my cp stash. Also gives me time to earn more latest tokens. Heck, if she is offered in the store, I can get those shards using hp, or I can favorite her and do 20 pulls when electro enters. 

    7/30 = 23%.

    No hoard, so I’ll be waiting and pulling as I go along to roster Ronan.

    I have Wanda at 3/5/4. Sharts will complete her.

    The Electro/iHulk/Doctopus store looks more exciting than Electro/Knull/Ronan.

    I pulled, but I only had 27 pulls to make anyway...

    ...but I ended up doing pretty good, as RNG goes.  Here's the results!

    Agreed - wish I could use my LL in that one

    Emptied my small supply, and pulled 1 Ronan, 2 more Knulls, and got my Wanda to 3/4/5, only one cover left to go.  Will get the 250 shards from HaT.

    Anyone happen to know if she'll be featured again before she leaves, then I can keep hoarding for Francine

    Good news for you: so far this year they've had every 5* as the placement and then progression reward in PvE 5 times before they are in classics, so by that count she'll be featured twice more before she leaves.

    16 pulls for zero Knull, zero Ronan, two Wanda... and Wanda's already championed.

    Three more pulls from rewards got me a Ronan cover. Back to hoarding!

    My Knull has 13 covers and Wanda is at 3/5/4 with umpteen blue covers saved. I'm finishing her with shards so back to hoarding for me. Colossus had a long way to go with no  luck or pulls to finish him off before he left.  :(

    Wanda will definitely be featured at least once more. A second will be a stretch though.

    4 Jul-7 Jul: FirstCap (classic 5*)
    7-11 Jul: classic 5*
    11-14 Jul: Latest 5*
    14-18 Jul: Latest 5*
    18-21 Jul: Latest 5*
    21-25 Jul: Classic 5*
    25-28 Jul: Classic 5*

    Wanda is due to leave on 26 July. It's possible that she could be featured after the 28th; that's what happened for Sighclops. Btw Colossus was also featured only 4 times.
    I don't want to confuse being featured with being the progression shard reward; lately I've seen with new releases they are the progression shard reward in an event where they are not the essential before they show up as the essential. From my records (which could be wrong), Colossus was the 5* progression shard reward in Operation Spider Silk on 03/14 but not the essential, then Colossus was both the essential and the shard reward 04/18 Fight for Wakanda, 05/05 The Hunt, 05/23 Lost in Time, and 06/20 Venom Bomb. It wouldn't be my first mess up if I had something off there though.

    However, one thing I neglected to consider is for the first part of this year they didn't do any boss events. Another reason I don't like boss events will be if it means running them limits the new 5*s to only getting 4 events to be the progression reward instead of 5. Frankly, until they start including 5* shard awards, I'd rather they don't run boss events at all.

    I am not impressed by Ronan. Picked a single cover of him up before he went into LL, so that's a good thing for me.

    I would like to finish Knull because I like the character, but getting Ronan covers feels bad.

    I think I am going to hoard until Ronan leaves. Electro and the next 2x 5stars could be an interesting bunch maybe.

    He doesn't do anything for me either so whenever I pull again I will just take him to 450 and then wait for him to leave.

    His Uncompromising Power (UP) repeater damage does not tally. For example, each repeater deals 500 damage. If you match one and he has 10 other UP repeaters on the board, it should deal 5500 damage but the final damage will be lesser than this.
