I hope before 6*s are released either mid or end of 2018, give useless 5*s a decent buff.

This might require an incredible amount of programming on the metafile templates used on each champ but with the technology in programming now I believe this is not impossible. When the transition happens that 5*s become mainstream, Kabam has to realize that a player who only has 1 or 2 actually useful 5*s will not be able to handle game content when 4*s become the next 3*s.

Let's say in late 2018 there will probably be an Act 6 in the horizon requiring at least 3 x 5*s Rank 4 just to do completion for the first chapter. The top players in the world will not have a problem for sure, but those who have progressed beyond having even god tier R5 4*s who have 15-20 5*s but with only 1 or 2 useful ones will have a big problem.

As someone who was ultra lucky to get a 5* Magik and a mystic awakening gem from the last Odin offer, the useful rank 4 5* makes all the difference in higher level content. (I wouldn't have been able to complete Uncollected spending very little on units if I did not have a 5* R4 Magik.

The most viable solution for this dilemma is to just give all currently labeled "useless" or "for arena only" 5* champs a reasonable buff or buffs to make them useful. I'm not saying they should be made into all god tier level. Just at a point where they can endure current Act 5 Chapter 3, 4, and beyond. It believe it's only fair to suggest that any rank 4 5* (even Kamala Khan) should be at par with god-tier 4* performance. What I mean by performance is that a god tier 5* will still have distinct advantage over a "just decent" 5*. But this decent 5* can compete with what a god tier 4* does, and by virtue of being a 5* has greater health and damage over the 4*.

So when the transition happens, there shouldn't be much thought required whether someone will rank a 4* Gwenpool or a 5* Elektra. A Rank 4 5* Elektra should perform much better than an R5 4* Gwenpool or 4* Blade.

Those that have enough 6* shards will obviously enjoy their hard earned 6*s ahead of everyone else but it shouldn't leave everyone else in the dark.

And all 6* champs should be useful at the onset. It would suck if a 6* will just be used for arena purposes.

Not everyone in the community will have the luck to pull and dupe let's say, 5*s Stark Spidey, Blade, Voodoo, etc. But to those who already have around 10-15 5*s just collecting dust should be given some serious consideration. It's painful to see any 5* champ regardless of who they are just sit around and be used for arena.

What does the community think? Any have other suggestions or insights?

    I would assume, duped Elektra right? The odds you need to dupe a 5* is .000000000000000000000001%?

    You realize Elektra abilities dont come from dupe right? Regardless if you think its that low you need to find an alliance getting more 5* shards.

    While i dont agree with ranking undupe 5* to r4, i would take an undupe 4/55 elektra over 5/50 gp myself anyday.

    Seriously are we actually comparing a 4/55 to a 5/50 and arguing about it? This forum never ceases to amaze me.
