It's important to note that this list could still potentially change a little before the release, but the selected Champions are based on empirical data showing their effectiveness as 5-Star Champions in both Alliance Quests and Alliance Wars. Beast Storm Cable Cyclops (New Xavier School)Thor (Ragnarok) Taskmaster Agent Venom HawkeyeModok Sentry Void Ant-Man Mordo Thor (Jane Foster) Loki JuggernautHela Phoenix Ronan Venompool Nebula Punisher (2099) Civil Warrior Doctor Octopus Bold Text denotes Featured Champions.

She’s behind on the curb of champs. You can pull Storm from a Featured 5-Star Hero Crystal right now. You can also pull Ant Man, or Agent Venom, or any of the others listed here. You can also pull a lot more Champions, from Colossus, to Star Lord, to Kamala Khan. This is a smaller pool, where you know what you can get, and makes it easier to dupe any of the Champions involved. This dude for real? My guy, The community doesn't go for a featured crystal to get any of the champs you listed. They pay the extra 5K for an INCREASED CHANCE at getting the desired featured 5-Star champ. Now they will pay the extra 5K for a DECREASED CHANCE at getting the desired featured 5-Star champ. That's a fact. Are you sure Kabam employees play the game? and they thought this idea was an improvement to the state of the game? or perhaps, their bottom line. I think you totally misunderstood my post. What this is in regards to is somebody saying that they would not like to pull a Storm from that Crystal, and I was saying that this is still possible even right now, as well as other Champions that they might now want, so this doesn't change that.

What’s the point? The only way that the new featured crystal is better than the old one is if the old featured crystal had odds worse than 1 in 18 which is what the new one is. I’ve got to say I’m disappointed The original Featured Hero Crystal had one purpose, and that was because it was originally the only chance you had at a 5-Star Champion, and potentially meant that the Champion would never come around again. This has changed, and that means that this Crystal has run its course. 5-Star Champions are coming to a place where they are now added to the regular Champion pool at the same consistency as other rarities. Riiiiiiiggghhhtttt..... And it has zero to do with Apple's new rule on disclosing rates in drop boxes... Not really. The rate of the Featured has always been in favor of the Players. Estimated around 20%. Now it's about a 4% chance. There is no logic that supports the connection. What’s your opinion on this? To be honest, I'm still having coffee, digesting. I think it's a varied range of Champs in the pool. Better chances to Dup, which means more 6* Shards. If there are 6 Featured Champs in the Crystal, that's actually a 33.333...% chance at a Featured. That may lessen the chance of one specific Champ, which is why people may be upset, but I think it's time to even the chance. The Featured has had a higher probability for a long time. Personally I don't see anything objectionable. I don't agree that it's connected to Apple.

Such as will they follow a pattern of previously released champs or will they simply be chosen by Kabam? There is no Pattern. They will be chosen by the team, but we're taking extra care to make the Crystals more interesting for you all.

There will be a New Crystal every 3 Months. This Crystal will feature the 6 newest Champions, and another pool of 18 Champions as the Base Pool. So another pool. This means none of the 18 in the first pool will be in the 2nd pool?

When will he be added? I was excited to open 100k in Feb to try for him in basic and put the rest in his featured. This is really cramping my plans man. I'm not even sure what to do now with 180k saved.. Just throw it all at blade? Ugh I give you props for replying to so many comments on here and I do see a few good things about this new crystal like being able to dupe more to farm 6 star shards or how we can still pull garbage in current featured crystal but 15k may be steep for the chances. Maybe if yall just put all decent champs in one of them I will spin a few but I can tell you right now I am not wasting my time on GM crystals.. all of your crystals we can buy are a deal shoot almost a scam. I hope y'all consider increasing the odds especially since most pay real money for these and $100 for a bunch of three stars may have someone one suicide watch or at least rage quit watch. Again thank you like for your time please relay to the team that we can pick better champs that have real use in AQ and AW. Ps. I'm with you on Cyclops if he wasn't so easy to evade. Sp bias 1 with 1 bar of power he could mark noobs.

For those of us, who saved for 6 or 7 months to target champs that will help us with content, this intentionally deceptive manipulative and dishonest attempt to nerf 5 star feature shards puts us further behind the top players.
