So, here’s what we’re thinking: This fell by the way side due to lack of concrete information. One of the things we don’t like doing is giving info on upcoming events and having to fix them or the rewards before they come out or have to scramble when something ends up changing. With the UI updates and other recent feature updates (new FTUE and the like) we just didn’t have visibility as far are we liked. So… yeah. Had a stopgap with the last month’s newsletter, but that’s not the best way to get info out to everyone.

Right. Anyway. Plan is to update this as “normal” on the beginning of a week, but if it comes to the point where we aren’t concrete we’ll do a “lite” update where we’ll list the event but no details past that. If it’s a lite version of the event please understand that the event is therefore not written in stone. It’s a current plan, but not 100%.

@IceIX
Any comment on the boosted 5*s we’re seeing in the current events?

4

Thank you for being transparent about that

5

5* Ronan the Accuser

550×846 106 KB

4* Still thinking about that one
EDIT: The only one I can think of that tends to wear white is Colleen Wing

256×381 26.3 KB

Unless it’s all MCU related then it’s a 4* Black Widow or Yelena wearing white before the movie launches

6

I would love 5 star Baron Zemo. Now excuse me while I go watch his 1 hour dance video on Marvel Entertainment’s youtube (I would link but not sure if that’s allowed)

EDIT:
Quick read of the rules looks like this is allowed. If I am wrong sorry mods!

7

4* Sleepwalker maybe?

how do you get Ronan from Killer Dance Moves? Surely that’s 5* Dazzler?

8

The only character in the comics I associate with dancing (and killing) is Noh-varr.

9

Dance off, bro.

10

This 5* obviously has not to be a Phoenix five. I wonder when they will be complete.
Supposedly tie-ins are more relevant and people like it them more when a show begins.

11

Probably next year. The only space in between movies is in October. Between Shang Chi and Eternals release dates.

Unless they release them during Black Widow in July and August since we already have 4* Red Guardian and 5* Yelena from the movie. The only one we’re missing is a MCU 5* Taskmaster and whoever Rachel Weisz is playing and that uncredited cast member, which I think is one of the Winter Guard members maybe Crimson Dynamo.

12

Killer dance moves makes me think zemo, or else we’re getting another 5* star lord.

Chamomile makes you sleepy. The only marvel character I can think of that puts people to sleep is mcu mantis.

13

maybe it’s an old lady tea thing. Madame Web?

14

5* DAZZLER!

FINALLY!

15

You know who has killer dance moves? 4* Elektra Ballet of Death! I sincerely doubt it though we get a 5* version.
Chamomile Personified - so this character is the perfect example of Chamomile? Chamomile is a Daisy type flower but we already have Quake?

16

Doesn’t chamomile tea help people sleep?? 4* mantis maybe???

17

I can tell a bunch of y’all weren’t out there living through the 90s…

18

We had all forgotten him on purpose.

19

Surely Sleepwalker is next, and Darkhawk can’t be far behind. Followed by a new Limited character - Slapstick!

In other news, I briefly thought Danver5 had been de-nerfed this morning, but it turns out I was wrong. #sad

I was messing around on the challenge node with OML/Kitty/Danver5, and Photonic Barrage I swear killed a repeater tile, but when I went back and re-attempted it, it is still leaving friendlies untouched. Must have fallen into a match that time or something.

Zemo’s dancing will still end faster than the Mindless Ones.
