  • I agree @DrZola. It would be nice, and I don't know if this would ever happen, if maybe in a future segment of the Twitch stream Kabam did a section on how the crystals work - to clarify and inform. But the clumping point you make is interesting. I don't know if the randomisation happens on the fly every time, or is from a…
  • I'm sure it's just perception like always but it certainly feels that way. It's almost like my 6* featured pulls naturally gravitate towards existing champions that I haven't ranked up or just don't play.
  • I don't want to post mine because they were terrible. But kudos on getting Bullseye as well.
  • Well, new pool is out. Had four goes and got two Toads, one Misty Knight and one Captain Britain. Every one of them was a troll-over, either Onslaught or Bullseye. Can confirm RNG is working correctly. :/
  • I'd like to know if you can buy the 6* Nightcrawler more than once. With 30 tokens buying the 6* but 120 required for the 7*, unless you can hit the 120 everything over 30 looks like a waste of effort. Being able to spend 60, for example, to buy and dupe a 6* would be appreciated by quite a few players that can't quite hit…
  • For champions which require a build up, it's always whether the juice is ultimately worth the squeeze. Building up to an SP2 after multiple SP1s and careful play, only to then have the SP2 fail to crit feels pretty disappointing and means that you can't rely on the effectiveness of the champion in comparison to others that…
  • 6* Mojo dupe (Paragon). Possibly the result I wanted least, but it's free so I can't complain - much.
  • Nah - that sounds way overpowered. Any champion with that in their kit would just be an open invitation for some summoners to revive-spam through difficult quest content. It would probably be the most desirable champion in the game to acquire for that reason, divide the community into haves and have nots and certainly…
  • I suspect that I'll be in a similar boat, personally. The Starky challenge I'm looking forward to as I've already got a maxed out 5*. But the other two require such an investment that for me, and where I am with the game and of course my budget, mean they are effectively out of reach. I think that's my biggest issue with…
  • I'd never played Wiccan much before I got the 7*. He's a nice champ, there's quite a bit of utility in his kit as well. Congrats.
  • Without knowing what the other options are, I'd be tempted to keep it for a few weeks, just in case we get some clarity from Kabam on what's happening with Relics generally. If they are going to release a new batch of relics, or change/rebalance existing ones, it might be better holding off for a bit.
  • Totally agree @Zippy_halligan . While we can't do anything about toxic cesspools elsewhere on the Internet, we can show a better response here. Talk about the rank up resource problems, revive usage, champion limitations or anything like that. Even whether the approach to lock access to highly popular 7* champions behind a…
  • Funnily enough @Sundance_2099 , I've just driven through Gloucestershire on the M5 earlier on today. It's a small world...
  • That'd be nice. I'm wondering if it was the big change to potions they talked about a while back.
  • Wouldn't have been my first choice and I hate fighting him as a defender but he's nice paired up with Kingpin and The Hood. Both Kingpin and Mr Sinister power lock the opponent after they use a special attack which is a really nice bit of utility.
  • I agree @Pikolu, up to a point. BG is important and a champion should be able to stand alone with a certain level of effectiveness - some more, some less. But I'd counter that synergies are a simple way to add flavour to a kit and acknowledge their Marvel history. Which is what got many of us into this game in the first…
  • I'm hopeful but I have some minor concerns. Not about his new kit which seems great, but his synergies need a serious uplift. The Heroes for Hire synergy could do with a massive boost in my opinion. Seriously, through the roof. Make the current synergy apply to just the two of them but triple or quadruple what it currently…
  • I agree, as the owner of a 6* max rank, max Sig and ascended Starky. He's such a fun champ to use, great damage and nice splashes of utility. Pair him up with a Green Goblin or Hulkbuster relic if you've got either of them. It's good that this challenge will introduce (or remind) a good number of summoners to what a great…
  • Same here. The only time she came up in a 6* Nexus for me was the same time as Starky, and since then I've been thinking I'd get the 7* before I ever saw a 6* Domino again. Credit where it's due, this is a really nice gift from Kabam.
  • Ah, Airwolf. Fair play @DNA3000 ...
  • Great thread, @Rookiie 👏 I think the Kabam John point is a crucial one and something which is, at the same time, hard to actually pin down. Getting the feel of a champion's personality through a kit design is very hard. I rave about Starky a lot because his play style and the character himself fits with the fast, fluid and…
  • I just tried out your method @Cat_Murdock with my 6*R3 high sig Hulk, full boosts but no suicides. Took me about seventeen or eighteen revives because I mucked up a few times (scrubby gameplay, managing the unblockable timer is tricky) and a couple more because he decided to throw a random special and I need to quit to…
  • Nothing against Black Tarantula, but the very nature of Shathra, how she acts and what she represents should be enough for the Art Team (AKA the-team-who-never-miss) to go absolutely crazy with the visuals. Great result. To those who voted for Black Tarantula I think he'll be along soon after.
  • Funny thing @Rookiie , all of my votes so far have been for Shathra. I was a big fan of the whole storyline with the Other, Morlun etc from the Spider-Man comic run and she's someone I'd hoped to see in the Contest one day, as well as Morlun and Scarlet Spider (Kaine, as he has a different power set to Peter Parker/Ben…
  • Sounds like that would be fun, but I'd like them to buff the classic Deadpool a little first. Give him something on his SP1 and a way to inflict Taunts in his base kit. Some unique synergies with Colossus, Cable, Domino and Wolverine would be nice too. Deadpool 3 is coming up later this year. It would be nice to get a buff…
  • I tend to use Doc Ok as well as my standard Hyperion counter. Keeping Hyperion power locked makes him so much easier to deal with.
  • I assume you're using the synergy with Scorpion and Kraven, yes?
  • Power control is even better if he's got the synergy with Captain America active. Whenever I pick Punisher 2099 for Arena I always look for a Cap to partner him with.
  • The problem is that Twitter voting is a good (and cheap!) way to advertise both the game and the summoners choice event, and promote engagement. And without new players the game can't last.
  • I voted for Shathra because I think she'd be the go-to option for a Spiderverse counter but also because of like to see what the Art team can come up with. I'd be happy with Viper as a second choice though.
