Electro, Banner, Yelena, Black Bolt. Four consecutive classic 5* as essentials?

Also, seems like Magneto has been skipped, according to my cycle: New Classic Legends essential order in PVE - MPQ Tips and Guides - 505 Go! Official Forums

3

Enabled “pick x” rewards. Interesting.

4

That was 4 releases ago.

5

Venom Bomb should be awarding Gwenom shards while Electro is the essential. I really wish they stop doing this for every new 5* release. I really could use some Electro shards.

6

I like there are a few more 4* pvp events this month. Plenty of shards for classics from pve, but not the ones I need.

7

Oh God, Odin PVP.
Whyyyyyyy.

8

Actually - why is Odin in Pride month?

9

18 June is (All)Father’s Day in the US

edit: d’oh! I missed a chance to quip about the bifrost / rainbow bridge

10

Have you seen the Bear portion of a Pride March? It pretty much looks like Odin.

I’m excited for his PvP. I like his abilities in theory, but they so rarely work that I almost never use him.

Ah! It might even be in in the UK actually too. Good call.

12

Well I hope Odin has a good time why ever he is there!

13

Check the picture.

14

Thanks ,did it and deleted the unnecessary comment

15

I hope Strange Sights was tested with the new storybook mode since we can pick the order we play. Hoping for a third clean event in a row!

16

Oh god, why did you have to jinx it.

17

Why are Electro shards being skipped? I thought the normal process was to insert a random 5star when latest 5 shards are rewarded and then continue with the Essential list order after. But it seems Electro will be fully skipped when it’s her turn in the order.

18

I hate when they skip the Classics. I need 200 shards to have a cover for her to participate in the 5* essential, but now I’ll be locked out of that node entire event.

Just give us both shards! I actually don’t care about new 5* shards, I can already cover them with LLs, it’s the Classics that are challenging gain covers

Just spend the 250 CP if you’re so desperate.

I’m not desperate, just annoyed and rightfully so. However, thanks for pointing out the Electro 250 offer. I forgot about that and the upcoming Gwenom store isn’t exciting.

Edit: The upcoming store has Electro. For some reason I thought it was someone else.
