The incursion crystal actually seems pretty good, wouldn’t it be a 20% chance for iso too? Congrats on getting cav! Is your main going to send ggc to this account?

Yeah it would be 20% for ISO, but I just included HB in good pulls as well haha. IP would just be ISO and 6* shards.
Nah I won’t be sending anything from my main unless I send equal back on the mini, I don’t want to unfairly weigh the challenge. So if I’m gonna use some revives I’ll send something over to my main and send revives back.
Great read, those long fights looked a bit painful tho. Id go for that incursions crystal, seems to fit ur roster pretty well.
she hulk might be worth ranking for 6.2.2 sinister, 6.2.5 mordo and 6.2.6 champion (though ig u have sorc)
thats HB would pair nicely with a ultron
Thank you!
Yeah I’m pretty set on the incursions Crystal I feel. There’s only a week or so left, it’s only 5k extra artefacts and a basic Crystal would be nice but I’ve had and can get plenty of those!
6.2 sinister sounds awful with just she hulk lol, though I guess no worse than G2099. She’s got potential, but I do want to rank wasp and I’ve just ranked Rhulk. Don’t want to overload my science roster. I’ll see how it goes and who else I pull! Right now my plan for Mordo is Rhulk, Doc Oc and Sorcerer. Champion will be simple with sorcerer and Morningstar. He’s not that tough
Ultron would be really cool tbf, definitely a champ I want to get some playtime with!
takes around 250 hits for a 5/65 she hulk to take out mr sinister. His special recovery is also super slow so its easy to heavy counter. With the passive ai idk if it the fight would go as well as I am selling it tho. Its ur account so its ur choice, and wasp is a fun/useful rankup either way. Gl on 6.2
Thanks for the advice mate, I’ll definitely keep it in mind. Closer to the time, if I don’t have an option for sinister she probably will be my best shout
Congrats on how far you’ve gotten so far. It’s been an impressive run. You asked about good counters to act 6.2 and one thing I wanted to mention is wasp’s usefulness there. She’s really good for lifecycle, icarus, and do not go gentle. She’s also amazing for the 6.2.5 mordo boss and the 6.2.1 lifecycle boss. I’d really suggest ranking her up cause you’ll use her way more than you would expect.
I also wanted to ask what your opinion of the act 1-3 revamp is in regards to this account?
Thanks for continuing to post on this thread and good luck for the rest of this account.

Yeah that's a good point on Wasp, I guess it's just a question of how long it takes me to get a 6.2 sinister counter. That's my roadblock right now unfortunately, I'm not going to be doing more content in act 6 until I have an option. So if I get an option soon, I won't be able to level up and rank wasp enough for her to be used in 6.2. As I have Doc Oc, Sorcerer and potentially Omega to rank up. If I don't get a counter for a while, then that changes things and I may have time to rank her up.
Regarding the revamp to act 1-3, I'd actually already 100%ed act 1 and 2 before the revamp but it happened before I did act 3. I think it's great for new accounts personally. It's hard for me to accurately say how it will affect new players, but it's a massive win for making an alt account. For me, when I made this account I had a 5* at the end of the first week, so I was already miles beyond act 2 and it just felt like a necessary evil to get through. Now, making a new account will get you more quickly to the more challenging content like act 4.
So that's my personal opinion, but to try and apply it to new players, I feel like the same principle will be there for those who haven't touched the game before. With how easy it is to get 3* and 4* quickly (I only got a 5* because I did the Shang Chi Challenge), I think that even new players would find act 1 and 2 a bit tedious, so I think accelerating their progress in the early acts is a good thing. Use it to teach them the basics, and then by the time they get to act 4 they can handle themselves for act 1-3 content, but then use act 4 to start to challenge them. Maybe I'm wrong, but I suspect Kabam wouldn't have changed it without a reason to accelerate early progress. I think act 1-3 weren't challenging players quick enough now that progress is immensely faster compared to when they were first released.
I mean, I played the game in 2015 and it took me months and months to get a 4*, I started playing in December 2014 and I believe I got my first 4* around July-August 2015. Now you can get a 4* within hours of playing. That's a good thing for progressing players, but I think that's why Act 1-3 had to change.
I am Cavalier and I have 1 r2 6* which just so happens to be Doc Oc. Welcome to the club!!! I love Doc Oc and he was my 2nd 6* (first being Iron Patriot so I get you). And I love Luke Cage. I actually put a 5* Science AG into mine and even though I have a Cap IW as a 5* who I could have put the gem in, I don't regret it. With Luke Cage's indestructible, plus being bleed immune I find myself using him more than I thought I would since he's only 5* r3 and I have Immortal Abom at r4. When I beat Act 6 I plan on r3ing my 6* Doc for TB. So congrats again on those pulls.

Honestly might start a second account now. For the times I'm really bored in the game
Having already taken a second account pretty far, it is a really nice opportunity to play casually, try new champions and rank up champions you wouldn’t rank on your main account
Best thread I have ever seen! You have inspired me to make a second account and probably even a new kabam account! Never stop updating them! Your posts are magnificent!

Thank you! Luke Cage is definitely a little underappreciated today, I'm sure @DrZola would agree with me. After using him in Summer of Pain against Sym Supreme I appreciated him a bit more! And if you enjoy Luke Cage, his sig is very valuable to him so don't let anyone tell you not to use a gem on him, it's a game at the end of the day, and if you think it brings value to your roster you go right ahead!
Best of luck with Act 6 and the R3 Doc Oc! Who knows, maybe my first Cat will be a tech and I'll join you

Good to see people showing the smoothest playing champ in MCoC some love. Cage is blue collar and does what he does very well. Don’t forget the reliable stun and attack boost he gets off debuffs.
Best thread I have ever seen! You have inspired me to make a second account and probably even a new kabam account! Never stop updating them! Your posts are magnificent!
Thank you so much for the kind words, it's nice to know people are enjoying this challenge as much as I am!
You know what? Just for you @IcyCoolDudeDoodle I'm gonna keep updating this challenge
As much as I love Omega, I would probably recommend against ranking him on this account, especially because you could be spending resources that could have gone to a crazier champ you pull soon after.
As much as I love Omega, I would probably recommend against ranking him on this account, especially because you could be spending resources that could have gone to a crazier champ you pull soon after.
I think you may be right, I’m just trying to figure out what role Omega would fill right now in my roster. I have a couple Korg counters, damage dealers that aren’t just physical damage, tenacity counters. The only thing he does for me is counter damage back like electro, but I don’t think that’s a good enough reason to use a generic
I’ll save it, hopefully I’ll pull someone worthy soon!
I was totally done with this game as of 3 months ago, came back to get my accounts up to level 40 so I could play santa instead of gifting to myself. I thought I was totally done with this game and nothing could make me miss it.
This thread made me miss it. Good luck on the rest of the challenge.

I think something a lot of us forget while playing our Plat AW/Map 6 or 7/ 100% EQ and SQ every month/bit of arena here and there accounts is that unlike the node, it’s not all or nothing. We can just take a step back and enjoy the game in a different way, that’s always the advice I give to anyone feeling burnt out or done with the game.
There’s always parts of the game that you’ll love, and those that you won’t. If you feel burnt out on the things you don’t love, stop doing them and focus on the things you do! If you like chill AW find a chill alliance etc. This game means so much to all of us, and quitting grindy alliance events doesn’t mean putting down the game.
I hope (and I’m glad if it has) this thread has reminded you of that, and I hope you can enjoy the game as one that focuses on the parts you love!

I might actually save these two weeks for next weeks update. Not very much happened this week I’ve been busy with some work, so I’m gonna merge them into one so you guys get a proper update!
I might actually save these two weeks for next weeks update. Not very much happened this week I’ve been busy with some work, so I’m gonna merge them into one so you guys get a proper update!
Alright then... If you can update all that happened in the 2 weeks for the next week's update, please do... You might at least have gotten some champ...
I forgot to ask earlier but what do you think of the free 4* herc? I know your moving past 4*s but wondering if you’re still going to rank him or not. I think this months SQ will definitely be helpful, gives a lot of good stuff and it’s pretty easy
Week 11 and 12 Overview Time for the update on the last two weeks! Honestly only two things happened last week, so I'm glad I saved it to this week to do both at once.
As mentioned in the last update, I began by targeting incursions. I wanted to get the last artefacts needed to get to 27k for the Armour Up Crystal I mentioned. I would have been happy with almost any pull, and....
And that's a hell of a way to start of the update. War Machine is fast becoming one of my favourite tech champions in the game, he's so versatile, has amazing damage, utility and tankiness. I have him R3 as a 6* and he destroys so much, so easily. He's also the first pull from my "Most Wanted 5/6*" Segment, way back in week 7. It's also great to have his pre fights for Hulkbuster and Doc Oc, along with any other tech champs I may pull.
The new side quest then dropped last Wednesday, and I managed to get through the legendary difficulty! Hulkbuster with the energise could stun lock goblin, (200 hits though, wow), and Hulkbuster and Doc Oc took down the Doc Oc boss. There's a fantastic chunk of ISO, Gold, 5 and 5* shards in there, not to mention the Cav crystals. Speaking of which...
A sig 40 IP, boy I hope he gets a buff soon! I'll definitely take the ISO though. And while I didn't dupe any 4*, it's nice to get the Darkhawk, RG and Mr Fantastic for future if I do pull them again. ISO is probably the biggest struggle right now.
I also got a 5* formed from the side quest, giving me this beast. Better check out @DNA3000 's tips on how to use him on the new website..
The side quest also got me my first bit of T5CC since the Knull - my little Symbioid event 25% selector. So it's nice to get some small 2%s on the board. There's actually a little visual bug with catalyst inventories when you start a new account, it copies over the visual amount of fragments you have. So I had 30,000 T5CC science fragments, and it shows that in the inventory of my mini account but it's not actually there. The second you pull any new T5CC, it corrects it to the amount you actually have. So I pulled some mystic and skill, meaning they now show the correct amount.
I'm going to start a new segment after the overview tracking my T5CC amounts, but until I've pulled some of each class I'll just post the amounts.
Onto Week 11 now, I began with completing UC. It seems like I was struggling to complete it only a couple weeks ago and now I get through it reasonably easily, as long as there aren't fights I don't have ideal counters for. Kraven was a little tough without a proper counter, but throwing my team at him could generally get him down with 3 or 4 champs.
Next we had the free 4* Hercules gifted to us. As @Ace2319 mentions, I'm not actually sure how I feel about it. A 5/50 Herc would be incredible, of course, but as I'm focussing on Act 6 and variants, and Herc doesn't really fit into any of the remaining variants except the Moonknight one in the 4* Chapter, which I have other 4* for. And I can't bring Herc to Act 6 obviously. Add onto that, the fact I've just sigged up my 4* Ronan a bunch, meaning I could get Herc to around sig 14 and no higher, and the fact I have a cosmic awakening gem, 2-3 and 4-5 for a 5*. I feel like I'm better off just not investing the ISO into Herc. It's a tough choice since he's awesome, but even now I've moved past 4* for the most part.
I also thought this was a sign that maybe the 4* Herc wasn't the one to go for....
24 and 0 cosmic lol
The next part to update you guys on was Season rewards, unfortunately we didn't make Masters, but the push continues! We ended up in Bronze 2, which had a nice little 4k 5* Shards. Considering we faced 1 alliance who even placed defenders, it could have been worse.. And speaking of things that could be worse...
Wow, wow wow wow wow, wow. Wow... Wow. Account changer, sorry Wasp you ain't getting ranked up anytime soon now. This is such a fantastic pull for the account honestly, I mean I don't need to tell you. He's going to help so much, and will almost definitely be my first R5 Science.
Onto updates from yesterday and today, the next week of the side quest dropped with the Rhino quest. I was a little scared of the Legendary difficulty, I mean it's a beefy Rhino with not a lot of outright counters except take block damage. I ended up testing the water with Red Hulk, planning to use Doc Oc as my main option by getting an armour up then heavy attacking for a burst of damage. But I managed to pin Rhino in the corner with Rhulk, heavy attacking when I could, and after a 150 hit fight he was down!
After completing all of the side quest currently released, I opened a few more Cav crystals. One batch of 2 and one of 3.
Now, I've started watching the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man films again to get myself hyped for Spider-Man No Way Home, and I began yesterday with Spider-Man 1. Firstly, wow, it's such a throwback watching the superhero films I grew up on. They are such a fun watch. And secondly, as I watched Willem Dafoe's Norman Osborn terrorise New York and grinded the side quest, I felt like I was seeing double...
A first 6* from a Cav, before I'd even got a 5* from a Cav. Honestly, if they weren't disclosed due to Apple's lootbox regulations I'd be asking "what are the odds of that". I can't be mad one bit, Goblin will be good for the account simply by being a 6* and there's definitely potential for a buff at some point. He's also one of the Cav EQ tags, so could be useful there. The only slight disappointment I had was finding out Doc and Goblin didn't have a synergy together! Which definitely could have been cool.
I also pulled a pretty great champ from the other crystal in this batch of 2..
Not sure if he will be ranked as a 5*, my tech champs are pretty stacked at the moment, but he's helpful for my Spidey rogue's gallery collection. And speaking of..
This was the highlight of the batch of 3, the other champs were a 4* Iron Patriot (I swear that guy is haunting me), and a 3* Stealth Spidey.
And the last update for this week(s) is that after I did this Side quest, I was 500 6* shards away from a crystal, so I decided to get some hero use points (and XP) by exploring chapter 1 and 2 of UC. Side note, I realised that since I'm only level 47, I don't have enough inventory space to even R2 a 6*! I have all the cats in overflow, but can't R2 my Doc Oc because I need 1 more slot for T4B and T4CC! So I'll likely be pushing XP for next week.
In any case, I finished UC exploration for chapter 1 and 2 (which has left me very close to another 5* Crystal, but..) has got me over 10k for my next 6*. Still riding the hype from Doc Oc and Morningstar, and to some extend Green Goblin as a free 6*, I didn't feel too much pressure on this one. I feel like it's time to get some bad luck.
However, a rollover from Longshot to this guy....
Left me feeling very happy. This guy ticks all the boxes. He's a mutant, I don't have a 6* Mutant yet and I picked 25% Mutant from the T5CC selector from the Knull side quest. He doesn't need to be awakened to wreck Act 6, or whatever else you need him for. He's a perfect champ for progressing players, covers a hell of a lot of ground.
A lot of you may see me using Colossus as an example of a champ who won’t often be the best rank up for end game pl, and I do mean that, there aren't many places he'd be my first choice on my main account, but ho-ly hell this is a great pull to get me through Act 6. I am over the moon with this pull. I used to love using him, and hopefully this will rekindle that love. Not to mention, that I have a 5* Omega Red to bring along for synergy. Those two are gonna be great to bring with each other. I'd love to dupe Omega now!
I also now have 3/6 classes with an easily TB worthy rank up! Doc for tech, Morningstar for mystic and Moonknight for skill Colossus for Mutant!
Notable Pulls War Machine 5* Iron Patriot sig 40 5* Human Torch 5* Green Goblin 6* Mysterio 5* Venom 5* Colossus 6*
Notable rank ups Levelled up Doc Oc to 1/25 War Machine 5* to Rank 2 War Machine 5* to Rank 3 Human Torch 5* to Rank 2 Human Torch 5* to Rank 3
Content Completed Side Quest 100% so far UC Completion UC Chapter 1 Exploration UC Chapter 2 Exploration Master Completion
Most Wanted Champs I've still got my eye set on 6.2 as the next major challenge, unless I pull some champs that revolutionise a variant run. I do have a strong villain team, but for some reason I'm just not feeling it right now. I want maybe one or two more really strong villains to bring in. So right now, Mr Sinister is the big roadblock. I need a fury champ who can deal with the poison, or a poison immune champ who can deal with the damage reduction. Or ideally both! I have She Hulk, but really, I'm not her biggest fan and I don't particularly want to rank her up just for this.
Skill : Kingpin - Last week it was crossbones, but I've actually changed my mind. I think KP would be the push I need to save units to get willpower. I do want to get it, but I haven't felt like I've needed it yet. Someone like Diablo or Ibom could do the same, but I don't have KP as a 6* or a ranked up 5* on my main and I'd love to try him out
Science : Overseer Poison immune champ, gets a fury buff. Perfect for Sinister. He's recently been added to the pool, I think he's a fantastic champ, doesn't need to be awakened and I really enjoy playing my R3 6* on my main.
Mystic : Dragon Man - I've recently taken my 6* Dragon Man to R3 on my main without having done a single fight with him, I need him for AW defence. So getting him on my mini would give me a great chance to test him out. Plus, the magic combo - Poison immune and can get a fury buff!
Cosmic : Angela/Hela + Heimdall These guys come as a 3 simply because of their synergy. Any of them would be amazing, ideally Heimdall though. Any other champ like Hyp or Cap MM who are poison immune and get furies would be amazing too
Tech : G2099 - Same as last week, probably the only champ I'd use to take down Sinister without a fury buff. Plus really great all over.
Mutant : White Mags - again, same as last week. Just so much use from that pre fight.
Plan for Next Week Now that I have Torch, I may go for a bit of Cav EQ completion. I didn't have an option for the first quest at all from those tags, but now Torch is R3 I think I could give it a go! I'll probably do some incursions, I'll try get a bit more XP to be able to R2 a 6*. And I'll obviously be doing the side quest when it drops on Wednesday!
On my second account I pulled pre buff Diablo as a 4* and 5* a billion times and even pulled him on my girlfriends account (lost my crystal opening privileges for awhile after that) and then he got an amazing buff. Hopefully you have the same luck with IP

Small typo about mephisto and poison
Nah I won’t be sending anything from my main unless I send equal back on the mini, I don’t want to unfairly weigh the challenge. So if I’m gonna use some revives I’ll send something over to my main and send revives back.
I also wanted to ask what your opinion of the act 1-3 revamp is in regards to this account?
Thanks for continuing to post on this thread and good luck for the rest of this account.
Regarding the revamp to act 1-3, I'd actually already 100%ed act 1 and 2 before the revamp but it happened before I did act 3. I think it's great for new accounts personally.

I am Cavalier and I have 1 r2 6* which just so happens to be Doc Oc. Welcome to the club!!! I love Doc Oc and he was my 2nd 6* (first being Iron Patriot so I get you). And I love Luke Cage. I actually put a 5* Science AG into mine and even though I have a Cap IW as a 5* who I could have put the gem in, I don't regret it. With Luke Cage's indestructible, plus being bleed immune I find myself using him more than I thought I would since he's only 5* r3 and I have Immortal Abom at r4. When I beat Act 6 I plan on r3ing my 6* Doc for TB. So congrats again on those pulls.
Best of luck with Act 6 and the R3 Doc Oc! Who knows, maybe my first Cat will be a tech and I'll join you

Overview
Time for the update on the last two weeks! Honestly only two things happened last week, so I'm glad I saved it to this week to do both at once.

The second you pull any new T5CC, it corrects it to the amount you actually have. So I pulled some mystic and skill, meaning they now show the correct amount.
I'm going to start a new segment after the overview tracking my T5CC amounts, but until I've pulled some of each class I'll just post the amounts.
Onto Week 11 now, I began with completing UC. It seems like I was struggling to complete it only a couple weeks ago and now I get through it reasonably easily, as long as there aren't fights I don't have ideal counters for. Kraven was a little tough without a proper counter, but throwing my team at him could generally get him down with 3 or 4 champs.
Next we had the free 4* Hercules gifted to us. As @Ace2319 mentions, I'm not actually sure how I feel about it. A 5/50 Herc would be incredible, of course, but as I'm focussing on Act 6 and variants, and Herc doesn't really fit into any of the remaining variants except the Moonknight one in the 4* Chapter, which I have other 4* for. And I can't bring Herc to Act 6 obviously. Add onto that, the fact I've just sigged up my 4* Ronan a bunch, meaning I could get Herc to around sig 14 and no higher, and the fact I have a cosmic awakening gem, 2-3 and 4-5 for a 5*. I feel like I'm better off just not investing the ISO into Herc. It's a tough choice since he's awesome, but even now I've moved past 4* for the most part.
I also thought this was a sign that maybe the 4* Herc wasn't the one to go for....
24 and 0 cosmic lol
The next part to update you guys on was Season rewards, unfortunately we didn't make Masters, but the push continues! We ended up in Bronze 2, which had a nice little 4k 5* Shards. Considering we faced 1 alliance who even placed defenders, it could have been worse.. And speaking of things that could be worse...
Wow, wow wow wow wow, wow. Wow... Wow. Account changer, sorry Wasp you ain't getting ranked up anytime soon now. This is such a fantastic pull for the account honestly, I mean I don't need to tell you. He's going to help so much, and will almost definitely be my first R5 Science.
Onto updates from yesterday and today, the next week of the side quest dropped with the Rhino quest. I was a little scared of the Legendary difficulty, I mean it's a beefy Rhino with not a lot of outright counters except take block damage. I ended up testing the water with Red Hulk, planning to use Doc Oc as my main option by getting an armour up then heavy attacking for a burst of damage. But I managed to pin Rhino in the corner with Rhulk, heavy attacking when I could, and after a 150 hit fight he was down!
After completing all of the side quest currently released, I opened a few more Cav crystals. One batch of 2 and one of 3.
Now, I've started watching the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man films again to get myself hyped for Spider-Man No Way Home, and I began yesterday with Spider-Man 1. Firstly, wow, it's such a throwback watching the superhero films I grew up on. They are such a fun watch. And secondly, as I watched Willem Dafoe's Norman Osborn terrorise New York and grinded the side quest, I felt like I was seeing double...
A first 6* from a Cav, before I'd even got a 5* from a Cav. Honestly, if they weren't disclosed due to Apple's lootbox regulations I'd be asking "what are the odds of that". I can't be mad one bit, Goblin will be good for the account simply by being a 6* and there's definitely potential for a buff at some point. He's also one of the Cav EQ tags, so could be useful there. The only slight disappointment I had was finding out Doc and Goblin didn't have a synergy together! Which definitely could have been cool.
I also pulled a pretty great champ from the other crystal in this batch of 2..
Not sure if he will be ranked as a 5*, my tech champs are pretty stacked at the moment, but he's helpful for my Spidey rogue's gallery collection. And speaking of..
This was the highlight of the batch of 3, the other champs were a 4* Iron Patriot (I swear that guy is haunting me), and a 3* Stealth Spidey.
And the last update for this week(s) is that after I did this Side quest, I was 500 6* shards away from a crystal, so I decided to get some hero use points (and XP) by exploring chapter 1 and 2 of UC. Side note, I realised that since I'm only level 47, I don't have enough inventory space to even R2 a 6*! I have all the cats in overflow, but can't R2 my Doc Oc because I need 1 more slot for T4B and T4CC! So I'll likely be pushing XP for next week.
In any case, I finished UC exploration for chapter 1 and 2 (which has left me very close to another 5* Crystal, but..) has got me over 10k for my next 6*. Still riding the hype from Doc Oc and Morningstar, and to some extend Green Goblin as a free 6*, I didn't feel too much pressure on this one. I feel like it's time to get some bad luck.
However, a rollover from Longshot to this guy....
Left me feeling very happy. This guy ticks all the boxes. He's a mutant, I don't have a 6* Mutant yet and I picked 25% Mutant from the T5CC selector from the Knull side quest. He doesn't need to be awakened to wreck Act 6, or whatever else you need him for. He's a perfect champ for progressing players, covers a hell of a lot of ground.
A lot of you may see me using Colossus as an example of a champ who won’t often be the best rank up for end game pl, and I do mean that, there aren't many places he'd be my first choice on my main account, but ho-ly hell this is a great pull to get me through Act 6. I am over the moon with this pull. I used to love using him, and hopefully this will rekindle that love. Not to mention, that I have a 5* Omega Red to bring along for synergy. Those two are gonna be great to bring with each other. I'd love to dupe Omega now!

Most Wanted Champs
I've still got my eye set on 6.2 as the next major challenge, unless I pull some champs that revolutionise a variant run. I do have a strong villain team, but for some reason I'm just not feeling it right now. I want maybe one or two more really strong villains to bring in. So right now, Mr Sinister is the big roadblock. I need a fury champ who can deal with the poison, or a poison immune champ who can deal with the damage reduction. Or ideally both! I have She Hulk, but really, I'm not her biggest fan and I don't particularly want to rank her up just for this.
Skill : Kingpin - Last week it was crossbones, but I've actually changed my mind. I think KP would be the push I need to save units to get willpower. I do want to get it, but I haven't felt like I've needed it yet. Someone like Diablo or Ibom could do the same, but I don't have KP as a 6* or a ranked up 5* on my main and I'd love to try him out
Science : Overseer Poison immune champ, gets a fury buff. Perfect for Sinister. He's recently been added to the pool, I think he's a fantastic champ, doesn't need to be awakened and I really enjoy playing my R3 6* on my main.
Mystic : Dragon Man - I've recently taken my 6* Dragon Man to R3 on my main without having done a single fight with him, I need him for AW defence. So getting him on my mini would give me a great chance to test him out. Plus, the magic combo - Poison immune and can get a fury buff!
Cosmic : Angela/Hela + Heimdall These guys come as a 3 simply because of their synergy. Any of them would be amazing, ideally Heimdall though. Any other champ like Hyp or Cap MM who are poison immune and get furies would be amazing too
Tech : G2099 - Same as last week, probably the only champ I'd use to take down Sinister without a fury buff. Plus really great all over.
Mutant : White Mags - again, same as last week. Just so much use from that pre fight.

Plan for Next Week
Now that I have Torch, I may go for a bit of Cav EQ completion. I didn't have an option for the first quest at all from those tags, but now Torch is R3 I think I could give it a go! I'll probably do some incursions, I'll try get a bit more XP to be able to R2 a 6*. And I'll obviously be doing the side quest when it drops on Wednesday!
Here’s the roster after Week 12
On my second account I pulled pre buff Diablo as a 4* and 5* a billion times and even pulled him on my girlfriends account (lost my crystal opening privileges for awhile after that) and then he got an amazing buff. Hopefully you have the same luck with IP
moon knight is def a solid rank 3 option, pay no attention to these endgame players and their paltry tier lists
