This is correct

Yes, definitely itchy for it.

Not really. 4*s are not a huge thing for me. All I really need is 1 cover so that I can meet the needs of an essential node. But Shang-Chi is going to handle the rest. Sometimes with MThor, sometimes with Onslaught, and sometimes all on his own (Welcome to SHIELD right-column, I'm looking at you). I'll usually have my 4*s champed by the time they hit placement rewards in PVE the second time.

For 5*, the system is to just wait for it to get into the legendary store. If the 3 toons in the LT store are all under 13 covers, I pull until the oldest one is fully covered. It has happened where the second-oldest got fully covered first, but since they were pretty good, I kept going. It happened once that both the 2 newer toons got fully covered and, especially since the oldest toon was not that great, I let it go without being champed. But it of course came back for PVE prizing/progression and I think maybe some favoriting, and it got done.

All that to say ... I've got the system well managed. And what I describe above, hitting the LT store, I have the data to prove that I've only needed more than 150 pulls once in the last FOUR YEARS. And I've got 800 pulls available to me. (and 20% more if I open in the classic store).

I feel like it's time to open, the question is where to go. Lift up BRB, Okoye, and Apocalypse by a LOT or a wider but larger rising via the classic store.

Either I'm stuck in a habit, or I really am wiped out from this week.

"Let's see, PVP... boosted Kang... boosted Kang... boosted Kang... (repeat another couple dozen times)..."

"Oh. Wait. I have Kang champed... and this is why Deathlok's been my 4* fave."

A while ago I had many duplicate max champ 3*s but deleted them between the times when we were getting retro rewards and the constant stream of new characters. I am trying to keep up but it is a losing battle because I don't play as much as I used to. I feel like I need to do something to get on this ascension train.

I think what I need to do with the 3*s and 4*s is to choose 1 toon to favorite and just keep them my favorite until I have 2 max champs.

Thoughts?

The Costume Index has been updated (link on the first page) for Nightcrawler's Bamf costume.

That alliance event snuck up on me. I was not expecting it at all for some reason. Even though I missed all of Thursday and a node or 2 on Friday the alliance still got their rewards.

Participation sucked this time, yet I think eleven of the thirteen maxed personal awards. So those of us who were in were all-in.

Can I just say how much I'm lovin' the Madness of March vault? 500 HP for each dupe Strange costume. 4800 HP worth of Roster Slots. Bunch of strong 5* covers or shards.

I skipped the Anniversary this year, so this is great.

It is a great way for people to spend HP. I am going to empty the vault once and then a second time

Anyone looking for an alliance, at least for the boss event? Have a couple of slots. (Long term, we are very casual. Boss events are pretty much the only thing we try to be responsible for)

Was your alliance able to complete the event?

We did, but it was basically 14 of us, we finished Sunday during the second to last segment.

So - anyone wanna join?

I do not understand why they chose Iron May instead of Spider-Ma'am. Iron May was at best a single image gag. Spider-Ma'am was actually involved in at least one story.

Sorry. I have recruited from Reddit. We got 2 new people to join during this event and they helped pull us through an early victory.

Which reddit, please? I've been down FB and Line with little results.

There is usually a thread started, I think it is called team up tuesday where you can try to recruit people or just find a post from someone who wants in to an alliance.

The best time to use that thread is the Tuesday before an alliance event. Here is the thread I posted in to get 2 new members. https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelPuzzl...edition_weeks/
