No information on this yet? First essential node on the first map is Quicksilver.
Would love to know who the essentials are for the 2nd map so I can tell if I am locked out of getting that red Steve Rogers cover (I don’t have Mr. Fantastic).
My vote for most evil node goes to (maxed out) fist/hulkbuster/hood with (useless) quicksilver essential. Mad respect to anyone who can beat this fairly. My only hope is to throw bodies at it and try to get 14 tu to use mega whales but the opponent can kill you so quickly you need super lucky board to do anything. I guess PX/GSBW could also do it if you get some natural criticals to get going but they are super squishy so you don’t have much time to play around.
There have been a bunch of A/B tests going on lately with tokens. They had a couple of events where half of the player base got a vault, and half got regular tokens. I’ve got a stockpile of one of every event token for the last…6-8 months maybe? Usually a rerun of that event will use the same tokens. Hollowpoint Kiss, Punisher, and Gauntlet have gotten a new token that doesn’t stack with the old ones. Currently in my game I see new Gauntlet tokens available where the 10 pack and 42 pack have a guaranteed 3 or 4 star cover available as the final cover opened.
Still not the guaranteed packs that used to exist (before seasons I think, or maybe right around when they started) where you’d get a guaranteed cover of the featured character. Those were still not the greatest value, but they were much better than the no guarantee packs that apparently we all like because we like randomness and it feels good to spend money and not get anything. I dunno. I haven’t bought a 10 pack since back when I was guaranteed to get a Black Panther, and that was a little after his release. Long time ago.
My gauntlet “Store” shows the 3 options at the bottom. 10 pack is “Final Cover Guaranteed 3 star or better” and 42 pack says " Final Cover: Guaranteed 4 star" for what that’s worth.
The odds for 3s and 4s are better overall as well, with the 2 star cover odds decreased to 4.8 for a single pack and 4.5 for 10+ so there’s definitely changes.
As I said in my stream, personal scaling is still in the gauntlet but community scaling(which doesn’t exist anymore, anyway) does not.
It may behoove you to watch my stream
Going thru all the nonessentials makes them scale less, but makes the essentials scale more, and vice versa. I’d rather fight scaled essentials than scaled non-essentials.

Node 26: SW + IF + Colossus. I can’t even come close to beating this node. What the heck? I have DP, Steve, QS with 20-40 levels over these guys. Main problem for me is that I can’t use my own SW or Fist. Everything was smooth sailing until that. I’m embarrassed. This is not even in the “hard” shard.
For those that don’t want to go watch videos on youtube and would rather ask questions and get answers, there is still personal scaling. If you beat a node, you might see the levels on previous nodes go up, due to personal scaling. This is why most people go thru the Gauntlet, beating the main tracks, to unlock the next chapters, then go back and play the Essentials in reverse order, after beating all the non Essential nodes. Essentials usually have lower levels than normal/hard nodes do, so by working backwards, it’ll get easier as you get closer to the end, if you’re working backwards with Essential nodes.
