The first batch of 7* looks like this (75% guaranteed)

As a very old veteran player, my prediction for the initial 24 7* champs pool is just like this.

First batch of 7* champs

Mutant: Red Cyclops, Psylocke, Nightcrawler,
Old man Logan

Cosmic: Ronan, Carnage, Phoenix, Superior Iron man

Mystic: Doctor Strange, Mordo, Jane Foster, Iron Fist

Tech: Punisher 2099, Doc Ock, Civil Warrior, Howard the Duck

Science: Rhino, Joe Fixit, Yellow Jacket, Abomination

Skill: Hawkeye, Karnak, Gwenpool, Winter Soldier

And I’m quite sure about my anticipation. The pool might have 1–2 decent champs, but overall it will be as horrible as what they did to the first batch of 6*. Let’s see.

That's a pretty tough list, if it's similar to that. I'd expect at least one Spider-Man character on there and because the recently buffed Spider-Man (classic) depends a lot on the Sig I think he'll be on the list.

I think Kabam are mindful not to stack the first 7* crystal with the garbage end of the champ spectrum because if they do it will be a complete PR disaster for them.

I suspect some of the champs listed could be in it but they’ll ensure a spread across the tiers….

Imagine pulling Red Cyclops, Drax, Phoenix, Rhino or Winter Soldier as your first 7*...
If the crystal is that bad, I'm hoarding my shards, very easily.

As a bit of a public service reminder, I wonder if most Summoners should be expecting one of those champs or similar. Overloading the base pool with BGT champions incurs a level of risk, so the initial batch will more than likely be champions that won't drastically upset the meta.

I would personally be perfectly happy with a champ that does not need awakening to be useful, like Red Hulk, Yellowjacket, Logan, Ronin, War Machine for example. But not a useless one. And these, most certainly, are not champs that would upset the Meta.

You'll probably get one bomb per class that requires high sigs or depends on sig levels at least. And I for sure think the odds will be stacked against popping one of them vs a meme tier.

it's gotta be something like this

knull, cgr, hulkling, odin, galan, hyperion
nimrod, warlock, mysterio, omega sentinel, idoom, peni

Can I have some of whatever you’re taking? 😂

BigPoppaCBONE

Punisher 2099 and Doc Ock are too useful unduped to be in this batch. More like Iron Patriot and Star-Lord

Lpoo

Kabam wont do this, because if this is the list then folks will just hoard until it improves and that takes away from the excitement of 7*s

You should know that Kabam’s selling r4 materials that ppl are carving for. So how can you expect a god tier champ that saves a player a lot of resources lol.

I think its these

Skill: Crossbones,WS,Hawkeye,Nightthrasher,Karnak and black Widow.

Cosmic:VTD,Nova,Drax,Phoenix,Red goblin,The Champion.

Mystic:Ghost rider,Mangog,Mordo,Purgatory, Sorcerer Supreme, Dr strange.

Science: She-Hulk,CapWW2,Miles morales,Void,Sentry,Invisible Woman.

Mutant: Stryfe,Pyslocke,Emma,DeadpoolX, Sauron, jubilee

Tech:Vulture,Pyschoman,IMIW,War machine,OG Ironman, mysterio.

This list makes sense. But it’s still too optimistic IMO.

Doubtful

If the pool is anything like what OP predicts, I am not opening any.

I don’t expect Herc or Ghost or whatever, and that’s (sorta) OK with me.

But a bag of trash champs? No thanks. My roster is fine. I can wait.

psp742

It's probably 10% awesome champions, 15% great, 30 good, 20% ok, 25% need a buff champions.

I hope a honest summoner gets the free 7* from the kabam live broadcast.. not a modder or cheater.

I mean, Ronan would be good. Carnage would be good. Doc Ock would be a win. Gwenpool would be great and Old Man Logan in my opinion would be great as well

IMO Gwenpool, Ronan and OML need to be awakened, and Ronan needs high sig.

mostlyharmlessn

From experience it will be, which are completely made up numbers, something like....

90% chance to pull an OG Iron Man, Iron Fist, Blue Tean Cyke, OG BW
3% chance to pull a Ghost, Wasp, Mr. Fantastic
2% BWCV, AEGON, Mr Sinister, Mr. Negative
1.5% Silver Surfer, Venom, OG Spiderman
.5% Herc, Hulking.

Shad0w_Monarch_01

I don't think kabam at this point would make a list of those 7*s
Maybe big hitters like Herc ,galan or the recent set of champs won't be there for now but I believe at least champs from 2019-20 would be on the list

Wicket329

This was the original 6* basic pool, released at the end of January 2018. I believe that this was before any of these champions had received a rework, including early updates like Luke Cage and Red Hulk. By today’s standards, it very obviously leaves a lot to be desired.

But at the time, it really wasn’t miserable. I remember Angela, Yellow Jacket, and even Cap WWII being considered solid pulls. The game back then was much, much simpler. Utility wasn’t as big of a factor outside of basic immunities. Damage was king, and sustainability was a distant second. It was just about hitting your opponent and not getting hit. And since R4 and R5 5* champions were still scarce, any champion at that power level was going to get used at least sometimes.

This doesn’t hold true today. You could double the stats on a champ like Beast and he still wouldn’t be better than even the midtier mutants. And I believe (maybe too optimistically) that Kabam recognizes that fact and will put champs into the crystal who are at least useful.

I could very easily see champions like Hulkbuster, Red Hulk, Cull Obsidian, and others around that caliber in the first 7* crystal. Champions that are fun to use, have their legitimate uses in the game, but might otherwise be overlooked when it comes to a 6* R4 decision. That’s my hope, anyway.

I had to actually check if this isn't a necro post from 2018

I say you’re 90% off on this. It’s not gonna be as bad as you are anticipating. We won’t have beyond god tier champs but it will probably have some god tier, some almost god tier and some below almost god tier level

TheWatcher_

no way it would be that bad. All of those are trash. Give me a 6* nexus anytime

I wouldn't mind 7* karnak or doc ock tbh they are BEASTS

Odachi

If the pool is only 20 champs and it's full of duds like this I'm saving my shards for a featured, 7* shocker please.
