Do you agree with this?
We were introduced to these mega support type champions, who can boost a variety of champions back when Apoc was released, and it's such a cool concept.
It started with Apoc who boosted mutants,
Then Galan who boosted Cosmic champs,
And now Shathra who's boosting Spider verse heroes!
Apocalypse boost granted a handful of boosts, like:
1. More offensive ability accuracy
2. Full Bleed resistance
3. A nice Prowess.
(Alongside more benefits)
With Galan he granted Cosmic champs:
1. Power burn resistance
2. Resistance to damaging effects
3. Unblockable
Then Shathra came along and boosted Spider verse heroes with the following:
1. Poison immunity+Fury passives (since the furies are dependent on Poisons I've included it in the same one)
2. Unblockable
And yeah that's it.
The thing is, we see a decrease in how much is put into these pre fights with each release, but we only get like 1 of these a year at most, so it should be better.
In my opinion nothing here screams Wasp totems, you know?
An ability that I think can work great for a potential buff to the pre fight ability:
A new passive called "Astral sting" what's that? Like a power sting, but inflicts energy dmg, and I guess the dmg shouldn't be instant, but in a lot of dots, like Shathra does during her own specials. What would put these passives on the opponent? Idk, maybe 1 for each unblockable (from the pre fight) special attack hit landed?
Anyway, yeah, I just want the pre fight to feel more Wasp-izing, or better yet, Wasp totem-izing. Cuz at the end of the day, comics wise, the pre fight makes this:
Into this:
Share your thoughts about buffing the pre fight ability/Shathra in general

Galan’s heralds benefit can range from occasionally useful to you wouldn’t notice it if you didn’t have it. The benefits sound more useful than in actual practice (my heralds in Incursions have maybe only benefited once when I threw a special into a block by accident)
Apoc’s horsemen is helpful on every mutant past present and future, and also has some specific synergy benefits.
Shathra’s totem seems like something you wouldn’t notice, but the synergy itself potentially grants that champion a new ability or change to playstyle. I think that can be pretty powerful.
Personally, I know Apoc’s version is the best but its likely too powerful for Kabam to use that version. If we are choosing between the Galan model and the Shathra model, the Shathra model seems much more interesting.
The only question would be is when new Spiderverse heroes get added if they will get Totem synergies as well or get ignored like Silk.
Speaking of Onslaught, I also believe Neuroshock shouldn't be exclusive to mutants. Think of Neuroshock as an energy form of rupture. Tigra for example, she was the first Rupture dealing champion, later on we got more Rupture champions that aren't mystic such as Spidey 2099. The same could apply with Daunted in future champs.
What level war?
apoc has gotten less relevant because of how easy story has gotten, and him being slow for bgs. the prefight still has its use though
Personally I need Bastion with his Prime sentinels program as pre fight
