If you are not creating new 3* characters, could you please stop making us use 3* characters as the center character in pvp? They are pretty much useless now and we have over 100 4* characters that should rotate in pvp instead of 3s. I realize that it’s probably for the newer players with growing rosters. Maybe we could have an option to choose which route to go, like we do when we select our SCL. Once you choose 8 or above we get a 4* as the center character. Just a thought.

3

I do prefer 3* being required when meta characters like Polaris or Juggernaut are the offered 4*. Shuri, on the other hand, I would be ok with her PvP again.

4

Shuri’s PvP is going to be a bloodbath when people champ Odin.

5

After completing 3 of 4 nodes in SCL 10 in Swipe Left, I’m still seeing full points in some nodes . Anyone else seeing it or know the reason?
It corrected itself about 10 minutes later

6

I was seeing something similar when I was doing my final clears. I would still see points as if I still had 1 clear left. I moved on to another node and when I went back it was correctly zeroed out.

7

P4nther as well

8

I’ll say this HAT event with a 260K Knull AND boosted Grocket4 has to be the easiest event ever . Thanks Devs

9

Thankfully the D3adpool PvP with boosted 5witch is over (for me anyways). With boosted C4rol, and mostly pink being the strongest colors, it was pretty easy to target Polaris teams. This made the climb much harder since everyone over 700pts had boosted characters on defense, usually undercovered 5witch with some level of green.

10

I expected a lot more have-a-go heroes relying on Whales Whales Whales but barely got attacked at all in the DP PvP last I saw.

11

I used WWW on the last 75 pt match I needed to break 1200, otherwise it was Yellowjacket/BRB all the way.

12

Spiderman IW is skipped in the current pvp placement reward. Was he rewarded recently? I can’t seem to remember.

13

No, and I can’t believe we’d luck out on him being skipped. I’m sure he will show up shortly.

14

@Neko
The 8/12 - 8/19 boost list has six (6) boosted 3 stars and 4 stars. Is this correct or just a typo?
Also, it looks like 3 star Beast is boosted but you have Beast (AOA) in there instead of Beast (Classic).

15

So, that new clue. The only character I can think of that’s been described as ‘calm and collected’ is Cyclops, but I can’t see the devs releasing 2 5 stars of the same character in the same year. Possibly it’s a play on ‘collected’, so maybe The Collector? But I’m going to go for who I want it to be - the relatively unflappable Blue Marvel.

16

Sure he’s not calm, but I’m going to stretch the collectible part and say Multiple Man Jamie Madrox. There’s always a stray dupe that he needs to collect…

17

Shang-chi is released later this month… film tie in release?

18

i don’t know much about Shang-chi but from the trailers he does seem to be calm and it looks like he is collecting the 10 rings.

19

Maybe? With the normal pattern, it’s either release him next, and have both his stores close before the movie comes out (not the best for a tie-in, but it means the Introducing event can give people a crash-course on who he is prior to the movie coming out), or start his release cycle two weeks after the film comes out. Assuming no schedule changes between now and then (like waiting a week or cutting a week between releases).

Calmly collected…5* Howard incoming?
