Hey all,

Ackbar is off this week, so Dragon and I covered his usual livestream recap. Here you go:

Dark Phoenix Saga

Eidol Chase - Lumatrix
  • Lumatrix will arrive in April (projected class is Tech based on teases in January’s monthly EQ, may be Skill as he's a Tactic Defender)

  • 12 Light Essence is needed to obtain a 7-Star version of Lumatrix; you can obtain more Light Essence for additional copies (awakening/dupes).
  • Can obtain 12 without spending, but is a difficult path and most Summoners will have to spend to secure 12 Light Essence.

  • Thorns Damage Reduction, possibly outright prevention, while Force Field is Active
  • Stun Passives via the Parry Mastery (Signature Ability)

  • Heavy gives Pursuit and inflicts Disintegration
  • Special 2 Grants Fury Passives
  • Special 1 deals mega Instant Disintegration Burst
  • Pair him with the SENTINEL Relic for increased Damage; increases the potency of Bastion’s Burst Damage “even doubled against mutants”

    You are an L if you pick anyone except rogue

    You are an L if you pick anyone except rogue

    They all need it. This won’t be a cyclops level rework but more similar to Glorious Guardians

    How late can you watch the live stream to get the drops.
  • SummonerNRSummonerNR Member, Guardian Posts: 13,686 Guardian
    From the Dark Phoenix Saga info link..

    (quote) However, the Champion that Summoners will be chasing will remain shrouded in mystery – for now.

    Even though that link has the same posted date as today.
    So, revealed during the Stream, and not a mystery ?

    Live tracking of voting is cool.

    Hey Kabam
    I just linked my account to twitch and claimed all three twitch drops and got the energy refills and revives in game but not the legend crystals even though it was claimed.
    I dont know if it was a bug or if i did something wrong but i would love an answer if possible.
    Thanks

    I claimed all but none appeared on my account

    I appreciate the recap but where are the bg rewards buffs the game mode is dying and their doing nothing not to mention the rewards are so damn outdated and they haven't said anything
  • Average_DesiAverage_Desi Member Posts: 1,369 ★★★★

    Is Daredevil tied to Sigil? Because only think I can think of that is a weekly bundle is a bundle we claim every Monday at the Sigil store. 🤔

    Thank you Dragon and Eggatron!

    Seems like act9.2 will come in april.
  • ShashankGuptaShashankGupta Member Posts: 609 ★★★
    I still feel we should have gotten lumatrix through f2p way yes there is a way but it depends on gc rank which is quite difficult for many players considering the rewards and roster difference in high tier bg 😞

    Also I don't think there is any extra light essence for free so you can't even miss anything unless you buy the light essence

    No new model for DDHK? Or buff??
  • Saket_123Saket_123 Member Posts: 152

    Learn to read, there is no doing all let alone doing both, they are buffing one champ so choose wisely, only one of these choices can counter serpent as they are right now and its rogue none of the other midions, this was the same sentiment that lost strange his well deserved buff to clowns who thought Kabam were buffing multiple champs if they “tied the vote”
