So when is the announcement regarding the 4* who haven't even been released as 5* yet? They just get forgotten?

How is it even feasible to just drop this pool of champs from being a 5* version with 6* coming out?

BitterSteel

Please just reconsider the pool to either, 12 champions which are down to a community vote on the current crystal. So two of each class out of
Storm, Karnak, Captain America WWII, Juggernaut, Gamora, Yondu, Deadpool (X-Force), Kingpin, Red Hulk, Loki, Angela, Nebula, Cable, Winter Soldier, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, King Groot, Green Goblin, Beast, Daredevil (Classic), Yellowjacket, Thor (Jane Foster), Black Bolt and Rocket Racoon.

OR, change it to a crystal with these champions (below) and then 12 more of the champions above
Angela
Gamora
Cable
Rogue
Guillotene
Hood
Cap ww2
Quake
Agent venom
TaskMaster
Yondu
Ultron

@Kabam Miike how will the new adrenaline work with luke cage if he is duped? it states that once you get hit the first time you have a chance to gain health back but luke cage. that's kinda pointless with a duped luke cage

So finally 6 Star are here so when we can expect 5 star arena in game @Kabam Miike

I’m wondering how many players will be able to open a 6* crystal shard on day one.

AQ scores are going to be interesting

Most, if not all, end game players will have one at least by now. I doubt many will be duped into actually wasting their shards on this garbage though.

Will we be able to sell T4cc for T5cc shards....?

Wow...... really horrible champs on the initial release. Won’t be doing that.

Sorry to hear. Maybe you'll be more interested in the Featured 6-Star Hero Crystal, though we don't have any more information on when that will be released, or what Champions will be in that Crystal yet.

I think the pool is a great beginning simply because most players don’t have any 6* shards or very few at best. Only players with stacked rosters already will have access and they really don’t need the 6* for game play so these Champs are fine

A quick question my good sir will the dates for more 6 stars being added to the crystal be a short time gap or a long one? I personally think a short gap would be best. Thank you for your time.

Not at this time, though this might change in the future.

Are there any plans at for a 6-star featured crystal?
So that players can choose between spending them or keep the shards for something in the future

We do not have that information yet. We're exploring how we will go about adding more Champions to the Crystal right now.

A single one? There were people with 50k shards in the beginning of December

I just threw up in my mouth a bit. “Here’s some 6* champions. You need to dupe....... ALL of them but 1 in order for them to be useful, so good luck! Also, you can’t rank them up due to you only being able to hold 2 T5 basics.” -Kabam

Please read the whole post. They said they are increasing the number of t5bs you can stash.

But you're right about needing to dupe most of these champs for them to be good. What are you doing to us KABAM?

Basically all these champs need their awakened ability

Nebula doesn't.

Hence the word basically

It's based on Damage taken, so if you don't take damage, you don't gain Adrenaline. But Adrenaline is not only for the first hits you take in a fight, it's for every hit you take throughout the entire fight.

SpiritOfVengeance

So basically getting hit with these guys is a bad thing?

The rank up resources really need to be addressed honestly.
T4bc - so 3 different tiers of champs require them...
T2as - not enough in the game considering 5* max takes 10.

I’m sure y’all have plans to make some of these “easier” to obtain but realistically kabam developers haven’t shown much understanding of the actual rank up costs in recent months.

Agreed.

Initial list six stars is disappointing.

It’s a shame, Kabam goes through the trouble of announcing a new tier of champion, trying to build up excitement.....and then falls flat with the initial pool announcement.

@Kabam Miike are 6* champs going to be awakened for amount of resources required?

Will any current 5* not be getting 6* versions?

That's totally possible. We're not sure of what 6-Stars will come in the future right now, but there may be 5-Star Champions that won't be released as 6-Stars in the future, the same way that there are 4-Star Champions that are not available as 5-Star Champions.

They will not be Awakened right away. You will need to awaken them the same way you Awaken other Champions.

@Kabam Miike how will the next batch of champions be chosen?

How about we have a community poll like we did for the $1 crystal.

Who’s with me?

Bassanio

Storm, Karnak, Captain America WWII, Juggernaut, Gamora, Yondu, Deadpool (X-Force), Kingpin, Red Hulk, Loki, Angela, Nebula, Cable, Winter Soldier, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, King Groot, Green Goblin, Beast, Daredevil (Classic), Yellowjacket, Thor (Jane Foster), Black Bolt and Rocket Racoon.
