As player who is trying to get through act 5.4 I can say 5 star are not irrelevant, also I have got 1 6 star champ and that is deadpool x force, should I take him to rank 2 over my 5 star rank 4 corvus I doubt that, this calender sounds great, if it doesn't sound great to you then don't login in for the rewards. I also have watched a lot of act 6 videos and everyone seems to be using 5 star symbiote supreme against the champion so the argument of relevance seems a bit stupid
Sounds like a great update. 5 stars wont become irrelevant for a long time. Took Act 6 with harsh requirements and even then 4 stars arent irrelevant and still useful to a lot of endgame content. Also to the troll in the comments it may be true that some people are ranking up 6 stars to rank 2 and ignoring 5 stars but are they shooting for prestige? Because you maximize prestige from sig200 r5 5 stars which cant be done with 6 stars unless you are the biggest and luckiest whale in the game. I know several people from top 10 alliances that still dont have a single r2 6 star and only focus on 5 stars for prestige and content clearing.
There are actually a few counters to “miss champions” I don’t think they are that bad anyway.
afaik there's daredevil and one of the new champs that can't miss. daredevil isn't good for end game level content for the most part.
who else am i missing?
Daredevil is the only hard counter I can think of. But any champ can beat a miss champion(short of ebony maw and corvus)
this is insanely optimistic when champs are ramped up so much that 2 random combos from the missed action will KO your champ.
invisible woman was good because you can understand when you'll miss, same with ebony maw, i don't like dark hawk and hood where you can't even chance attacking when they're in their missing phases because they will end you if RNG decides to allow you to miss.
overall it's a bad mechanic unless it's predictable.
by the time you unlock the good rewards 5 stars will be irrelevant, they already starting to diminish in value, imagine 4 months from now with the millions of cavalier crystals opened over that period.
to show how much you are appreciated they are making you login for 3 months straight to get a prize lol with all the bugs and oversights in the last 3 months they should just give the rewards as a sorry with no BS attached
No offense but complaining about something like this is ridiculous I’m normally extremely negative in terms of kabam but this is amazing just from the first look as well You also have to remember there will be other rewards in the calendar such as revives and units combine it with how it seems the appreciation will go on for the entire summer
5*s won't be irrelevant until 6* rank 3 are commonly available. That won't happen before the end of the year.
5*'s are getting close to irrelevancy. At this point you should be very picky when deciding to waste rare resources on R5ing 5*'s.
Close to irrelevancy? Close. They are almost irrelevant? If there was ever a point at which people r5ed any 5* willy nilly I must have missed it lol. At every point you should be picky about who you are taking to R5, but most people don't have even one good duped 6*. Those that do still use 5*s for all game modes. How are we close to 5*s being irrelevant?
Just what the game needs another spider man that’s gonna be OP, while we have classic DD and xforce in 6* crystals. Well played 😑
Ah yes, I too relate a new announcement of a character to the existence of the 6* basic pool’s more lacking additions, and thusly blame the company for this blasphemy
Let’s not overlook the summoner appreciation calendar. Kabam deserves some love this time, alright?

I mean there's also the point that there are a LOT of players for whom 5* champions are still EXTREMELY relevant. For example, I only have 20 5* champions, one of them duped. And this 5* Awakening Gem Crystal is very likely going to be EXTREMELY useful for my progression. Unless I get Tech... which would suck... but I suppose that if I got that one, I'd just wait for Sentinel... Not everybody is at that level of endgame content that people like @Thatweirdguy might be at. And 5* champions are still extremely relevant for a fairly significant portion of progression. You might get a couple of good 6* champions, but your 5* champions are still going to be 1) more numerous, 2) awakened and/or higher signature level, and 3) they cost 33% less t5b to get to rank 5! If you're going to take a 6* to rank 2, you need to make sure you intend to take them to rank 3 when that becomes possible, AND that you're willing to use that extra t5b on them. Yes I expect that 5* champions will eventually become a lot less relevant for end-game players. But that won't be until t5ccs are plentiful, and even then, I feel like 5*s are going to be relevant for a LONG time to come. Not that that means that 6*s are NOT relevant... it's just that they both are.
5*s are still relevant for every player in the game. No one can r3 a 6*. 5*s will become less relevant as time goes on, but they aren't close to irrelevant.
I am very excited for the calendar, but I think that activating this long term event in July and August, when many people have vacancies and holidays is quite...stressing ? I have already said goodbye to that 5* AG just bcs I have planned my summer the way, that I will miss huge part of one month EQ, which would be fine for me if it weren't for this new calendar. Is this just my problem or does anyone feel the same ?
This looks like a good move. But still, we need to wait for the time and see the outcome. People are fighting and wasting time to prove themselves here. We should get some filter to see the insightful comments here.
