Yes! That generic 4* AG I used on her after 12.0 comp is finally going to pay off!

Bwer777

I hope it’s good. Pulled her as a 6* a couple days ago

I lost a bet a few months ago where I had to awaken my Jane. Hopefully it wasnt a bad loss after this

I really hope they keep the stun chain part of her kit and ramp it up to 11. Could be a nice nuke type champ where you absolutely demolish enemies if the RNG lines up in your favor or you get wrecked playing aggressively when the stun chain fails.

Please no more heavy attack based reworks. Need more variety in playstyles rather than just parry/heavy.

Glad to see some excitement about the Jane Foster Thor buff!
Let me answer a couple quick FAQ.

Will there be a second champion buff this month?
To the best of my knowledge, we are focused on the Jane Foster rework, and it will be the only one this month.

Are all buffs/reworks going to coincide with MCU releases in future?
Not necessarily. It's always exciting to give a little extra love to characters that are in the spotlight. But we are not working to match MCU's schedule if it doesn't suit the best interests of the Contest.

Will the stun chain receive a rework?
I know a lot of you are curious about this one, but I do not have that information. It will likely only be available through the official announcement/spotlight.

Thank you for your responses on various questions. I am sincerely worried that the problem with her heavy hit box/animation , that I posted about on page 1 , will not get addressed.

It would be a shame to buff a champ and not fix a long standing animation/hit box issue that has plagued her since her release.

I can't say for sure, but usually the buff/rework process requires deep analysis of all mechanics, so it wouldn't surprise me if they address it!

Maybe do you know if she is getting new animations or only her abilities are getting rework?

Has the team done work on deep analysis of animations (specifically heavy and special spacing)? Champs like Mr. Fantastic and Hulkbuster could really use a look at their heavy reach, as they’re almost as bad as TJF.

Just have to say one of the best things to happened to this game especially the past year and half is this dude right here. One of the things that annoys me to bones is communication. But lately, you seem to pop up here and there, it’s not always what we wanna here but you’re there. Keep up the good work, don’t want any trouble so you and your team

Let me just say that having you here answering almost all the questions that pop up after important news is released is a tremendous step-up from the way things were previously handled. I appreciate you!

Hearing all of these “my duped 6 star is ready” had me bummed that I didn’t have a 6* TJF. Then I checked just to be sure, and I actually do have one 😂 hopefully she won’t be as forgettable as she is now

Bruh, if they did a deep analysis of all mechanics DDHK wouldn’t have turned out to be a flop @Kabam Jax

In which part?

I'm ready. 😎

This content has been removed.

Oakenshield

Guessing she will be in the 6* featured that gets released in July given the buff.

She's already been in a few feature crystals so now this just means those of you who pulled her have a shot of getting a hopefully better champion

KnightNvrEnding

Yes that makes sense. If they would remove some of his defensive abilities, a lot of community members would not like that. And to balance his kit if they tune him up for damage, might as well tune down some of his annoying defensive features..

I mean…they could give him an offensive benefit based on rock stacks that gives him an offensive boost at least lol

PapaMidnite007

Best to wait till the buff is live as of now my expectations are so low.

GMAX77

Finally gonna get to use this one hopefully

Just snagged the exact same item yesterday after beating Variant 2. Was a bit bummed at first then saw this news about 15 minutes later.

GMAX77

Been a while since we’ve see a buff include a new OP synergy, but something like giving Thor Classic a 3rd armor break after parry or Thor Rag shock on heavy attack would be a very nice addition to whatever improvements she gets for herself.

Interesting. I wonder if they'll lean more into Mystic class type abilities or if they will just make her a Thor-type that happens to be Mystic

Will this be that once-in-a-gaming-mcoc-lifetime-moment that I can get some redemption from this frak-up 👇

Shadowstrike

Any idea on when the buff details will be released?

Should be by the end of the week

If you had contacted support right away, they would've reversed it for you. Same thing happened to me when I accidentally used the romance AG on HT.

I gave my daughter the opportunity to open 6* Nexus Crystal after the award, and let her make a choice, and finally matched my heart too.

I think this is about time where I take a step away from the game for a bit. I'm not happy with the buffs for the past 8 months (Yes... 2/3 of a year that's crazy to think about). Sure Hawkeye and Fixit were an exception but everything else oh man... what happened to the buff program? Went from 4 monthly buffs, to 3, to 2, to 2, to 1, to 1 every other month it seems like? Not to mention the lack of content and yet to be met promises from the roadmap. Feels like I'm just doing the same thing every time I play... logging in for Side EQ then if I'm in an alliance do some AQ and AW. Wish Kabam gave out way better compensation for the year of issues too. It's getting really irritating after all this time having to deal with failed inputs and game crashing. Hope Kabam can shake things up in the meantime and turn the laughable buff program around.

Also, 2014/15/16 champs are designed to be simpler? What about champs like Magneto and She Hulk? I just dont know anymore

I gave my daughter the opportunity to open 6* Nexus Crystal after the award, and let her make a choice, and finally matched my heart too.

Using your Jane as example, I have a question: with petrify mastery 3/3, does your Jane now have a 2974 plus 230.1 times 3 attack rating? Meaning an attack rating of 3664.3?

Also: I was quick to dismiss Jane, but with a synergy team of pretty good champs (CapIW, SC and Herc) she gains +40 shock potency, +25% shock duration and deals 30% of her attack value (boosted with petrify possibly) when nullifying buffs. That’s not awful.
