Well, the preview hasn’t been updated yet, but since Luke Cage will fit in the second half of the cycle, I think it’s safe to say Bobby’s next.
Finally got 13 covers for 'im a few weeks ago. This Crash has been pretty intense for me, so I’m definitely looking forward to breezing through it this time.
I championed mine today. Yesterday’s Quicksilver cover was level 183, giving me my 12th Bobby cover. Looking into my taco vault today and it had the Iceman green as well, and I thought, okay, go for it (sitting on a 190 cover hoard). Pull 10 landed me my 13th Bobby cover, and I champed him immediately.
Yeah, DDQ also gave me the crucial QS-cover (after a long month of waiting for another QS-cover). Championing all of my 3*-characters before going into 4*-land has slowly, but surely paid off.
Done with 2/3/2 lvl. 94 Iceman, no boosts. It even started out pretty bad for me, Jean got me down to about half my health, got to 7 purple and 10 green in no time. But then I got to fire blue the first time folllowed by a purple 2-3 turns later, after that Jean got to move the board just once I think. Previous run I had only one blue cover I think and it was not possible for me, now I feel like it was quite easy. Blue ability really is the deciding factor here I think.
Like I mentioned before it was an easy win. I got a friendly board with lots of blue which allowed me to stun+punch JG quickly. Altogether it has taken only one minute to beat her.
It took six tries for my level 147 3/3/0 Iceman thanks to literally every single match not giving me blue (I’m not joking when I say there were matches where I didn’t even get enough for one Snowman, even with boosts!), and even then I only won with 372 health left when I finally succeeded. Of course, given the cruel nature of this game, I drew a Mr. Fantastic from the LT.
Thankfully, at 1/4/5, my 165 Bobby beat this first try, despite two match 5s for Jean on the first two moves. Only 1 green meant low damage and I had to keep her chain stunned the entire match, but 4 blue and 5 purple made that easy.
Rats. On try #1, I was cruising along with my 1/2/3 Bobby until I got an unexpected match-5 from a cascade when Jean wasn’t stunned. That bought Jean time to get her purple, and that finished me off. Try again…
EDIT: Up to three tries now, still no success. I tried +2 B/P, +60% match last time, but just couldn’t get her down before she got her purple off, and again, all she wrote. Feels so close…
