Those going for the featured that don’t have a super developed roster, how many 6* do you currently have? I’m at 73 but only missing 28 champs I want from the basic
Any word yet on the next featured? Last time the leak was accurate, so I’m hoping for one again this time around. Can’t wait to finally have a shot at pulling Kitty and would love to see some other solid options in there as well.
Pull #19: 20 more sigs on Miles Morales Pull #20: Awaken Thor Ragnarok.
Currently debating whether to keep pulling or save for next featured. Leaning towards save. At this point there's basically eight pulls I still want: The Overseer (new), America Chavez (new), Sparky (new), Iceman (new), Torch (new), Diablo (new), Gwenpool (new), and Venompool (new). I wouldn't mind awakening Peni, but that's nine out of 24. The math tells me stop, and really the only ones I really want are Iceman, Torch, and Diablo. Getting Herc, Peni, S2099, Medusa, and War Machine was plenty good, and now it feels like I'm pressing.

Hoping for Knull and Kitty, but also excited to see the other nonrecent champs that'll be in the new crystal.
Last pulls for this featured. I decided to "open until bust" where i would consider any new champ or first time awakening to be ok, and just sigs on a champ I have no intention to sig up a bust.
21 - Awaken Peni. Good. 22 - Awaken Gamora. Eh, but according to the rules still fine. 23 - sigs on Nebula. Bust.
My final tally: Gwenpool X 3 (first time pull, first time awaken, +20 sigs) Diablo X 2 (First time awaken, + 20 sigs) War Machine X2 (First time pull, first time awaken) Iceman X2 (First time pull, first time awaken) Venompool X1 (first time awaken) Rogue X1 (first time awaken) Rags X1 (First time pull) American Chavez X1 (first time pull) Overseer X1 (first time pull) Human Torch X1 (first time pull)
Would have liked to get Herc and Peni and S2099, but achieved most of my other goals. Top was getting HT, my R3 Diablo duped, and my VP duped.
All that said, hoping for some better luck on featured champs starting tomorrow.
I'd like to say that my experiences with the Featured 6* this time hasn't put me off them, but I'd be lying.
Probably going to switch to 6* Basics for a while - given that all my Featured pulls from this crystal were also in the Basic anyway, it'll be no worse for a while.
12 champs I don't have (Kitty, Nimrod, AntiVenom, Knull, Sersi, Ikaris, Hyperion, Ghost Rider, Doctor Voodoo, Dragon Man, Emma Frost, Old Man Logan). 5 champs unawakened (Doc Oc, Punisher 2099, Squirrel Girl, Taskmaster, Yellowjacket).
#1: Cable (sigs) #2: Old Man Logan (new) #3: Taskmaster (awaken) #4: Sersi (new) #5: Kitty (new) #6: Hit Monkey (sigs)
Still willing to get any of the new champs, still fine with any of the first time awakens, so 16 champs out of 24 still at least okay (9 of the original unawakeneds plus three new champs still to awaken), so this crystal is still worth continuing to pull. Planning to eventually sig up Kitty, so any dups on her past the first awaken also still perfectly fine.
Is anyone else that opened feats over basics from the last featured now reverting back to basics for this set? I don’t see as many attractive champs in the sub feat, and see a lot of recycyled champs like cable, wasp, dragon man, and vision AoU. As much as I like hype, the majority of this pool doesn’t look enticing enough to justify the extra 5k shards per crystal.

I think this crystal has more "controversial" champs, in the sense that opinions vary widely on their value. Last time around, I think there was more general agreement that Miles is great, Rogue is above average, and Karnak scrapes the bottom of the barrel (relatively speaking). This time around you have champs like Emma and Doc Oc, that some people love and other people think are worthless. Vision AoU, for example, seems to be one of those champs that some people think has little unique utility, but I hear lots of other players think is massively underrated. Wasp is another such champion where opinions vary widely.
Personally, I think the future is wide roster utility. If Kabam can make content that makes Guillotine look good for five minutes, I wouldn't rule out OML not having high utility one day in some weird corner case content. It is a matter of opinion and playstyle, but when Kabam gives me a way to target widening roster, I think the long term smart play is to take it.

Opened my next basic and got 6 star CGR.
Done with this one despite not getting Herc, Peni, or S2099. On to the 11th!

Of months
Buyer beware, they are still messing with featured drop rates

Got Emma Frost, then Wasp.
I'm not sure what you use Emma for, honestly.
