Abilities

Dr. Strange has three separate blessings he cycles between. He can charge his heavy to quickly rotate between them. He stacks Placebos on the opponent and ramps when Nullifying. He has lots of Regen on Block, Wither, and bursts of damage, and can inflict a Neutralize just before the opponent is dead.
Abilities

Stellar Forged Star Lord

Star Lord has a Fractured Power Bar, and indefinitely increases his Critical Damage when hitting a combo multiple of 20. He gains extra combo from Lights, Heavies, and Critical hits.

I highly doubt Toad will be since he is a saga chase champs and the others have remained exclusive for awhile after their chase. Strange should be since he is a monthly release champ.

Does solo coliseum have rank rewards or just a global leaderboard?

Solo Coliseum is meant to emulate the Seasonal Everest model. So every two weeks we get new challenge fights, and steadily accumulate points towards a solo event.

Slig

since there is a max amount of points (320 - 4 bosses @ 80 points per boss), I don’t think there will be any rank rewards.

Webhead1301

I think I'm gonna vote for Pork Grind. That way, Larval Earth can get more representation. Perhaps we could get Iron Mouse and Captain Americat down the line too.

Double track ending on april fools... prepare to see 7 star kitty transform into 7 star beast that day 😀

JackTheSnack

No mystique, blob, banshee, or iron monger in summoners choice🥲

Buttehrs

Ngl im disappointed in summoners choice this year. Not really interested in any of those characters. There's far too many useless variants of some of those champs we already have just to add more.

Squidopus

When they talked about Stellar-forged Star Lord, was there any mention of if there would be a way to naturally awaken him (and the rest of the Stellar-forged champs)? There was a way to earn the dupes for the Deathless, I was wondering if the Stellar-forged might have something similar, or if we’re just expected to use our more regularly available awakening gems now.

I expect his dupe to be acquired in solo coliseum sometime in the future.

This is great, and honestly the way to go because who wants to compete for coliseum rank rewards with (1) cheaters and (2) no life grinders? Do what's required, and get the max rewards. Simple and fair.

Silentkid8656

is daredevil immune to camera flash?

spidyjedi84

No updates on Kabam rolling back the EQ mess they created or allowing lower difficulties to be played?

He should be since it’s a falter mechanic

Regarding the twitch drop, the final rewards suggested two 1-2 7* rank ups, but i and alliance mates only received 1, will this be rectified?

V3N0M0U5_JU57IC3

Anyone know when they'll add the milestone boosters for purchase for the double track in the game store (not webstore)

Kade7175

Did I miss hear or will there be another round of twitch drops this week? I know there were some last week but I thought there was some more coming this week for some reason.

Yeah, same doubt. Heard something about new drops on monday during the live stream.

BarnabasCollins

Does each champ lock after the next champ opens. Specifically, if I don't get all 80 points from Havok before Void opens, can I still play Havok to get the rest or is it done?

Hi. I won the 7 star selector and the Kabam Twitch account has already reached out to me. It already asked for my in-game name, alliance and alliance tag and I have responded to it.

When will the reward be sent to me? Thanks. @KabamPinwheel

sorry for the double post - the tagging in my earlier post didn't work and can't edit it anymore.
