Following tomorrow’s daily patch, the Champion Rewards for Kingpin (Wilson Fisk) will be updated to award Daredevil (Matt Murdock). He will be added similarly to how Champion Rewards were done for previous 4-Star updates. If you’d like the champion reward breakdown, check out the original announcement here: Updates to 4-Star Champion Rewards
In additions, players will be able to earn additional Kingpin covers by placing well in Honor Among Thieves on Thursday (1/18) or through progression rewards during the Simulator Story event next week (1/22)
Could we expect to see some updates to 3* champ rewards at some point in the not too distant future? Several 4* characters are rewarded by two different 3*s at the moment, I would really like to see this get some attention. Pretty please? o:)
I like this update, of course (hard not to!), though I am curious with two things -
i) why Kingpin? As Elektra seemed as good a choice, I’d be interested to know the rational for his enemy rather than his lover (especially when Kingpin has been the enemy of Spiderman and Punisher as well)
ii) is there a chance this could be increased to two 4* being reworked per season? Simply given the number of 5*, the number of classic 5*, and the aggressive release schedule, it would help this system catch up, along with helping players out.
@Brigby, will there be only one 4* every month who gets updated with 5* champion rewards? If so, you’ll barely keep up with new 5* releases (1 / 6 weeks), but you’ll never be able to keep up with the new 4*s (2 / 6 weeks).
When you announced 3 updates in the first month I was really hoping all 4s would eventually give 5 rewards.
Initially three 5* characters received a “4* feeder” within a week of each other (Medusa → Black Bolt, Gamora → Thanos, and Vulture → Peter Parker). Since that time the releases have been slowed to one updated 4* now giving 5* covers per month.
While I don’t want to be construed as looking down on these gifts, the development team also releases a new 5* character approximately once per month. What this means is that we will unfortunately never catch up, and will remain at a deficit of about 16 characters.
Is this by design? Or will the speed of updates to 4* character champion rewards eventually be increased?
The once a month rate is okay by me. My 5*'s have such an ISO debt as is, and then there are the 4* releases and the 3* farm… Maybe in six months once I’ve caught up a little bit I’ll want more, but for now the current pace is great!
Time to burn more 3*s I suppose. I’m sad about the number of excess Daredevil covers I’ve wasted in fact. With Gambolt finished, Champing Devil seems like a better thing I suppose. And 3 more Fisk covers will put Devil at 452 in fact.
Elektra and Kingpin are both at 280, so it’s not really a big deal for me which one gives the bonus Daredevil. My Daredevil is currently sitting at 2/3/2, so all covers will be useful.
I just got KP to 280, so I’m happy to double dip on that reward milestone. My 5/3/4 Daredevil will be less pleased about receiving another Yellow cover though. It’s not worth getting myself worked up about. I could set DD as my BH, but that could also end up being a Yellow cover and then I’d have to sell two. I think I might take the small win of some bonus ISO.
So, since it wasn’t Elektra feeding into Daredevil, my only guess is that there’s a 5* Elektra being planned. How about with an active power where she gets knocked out and sets a Countdown tile that resurrects her with a percentage of max health restored. Like, literally pay 11 AP to kill her off so she can come back instead of waiting for the enemy to do it. Would make vs AI hilarious. “Best moment, downed Elektra’s allies, and she had 11 black AP and downed herself from almost full!” Animation needs to be silhouette of Bullseye stabbing her of course.
now i just need to save up enough iso to champ him before 1 cover go to waste.
