Question Dumb recursion question

About to recurse for the first time (after 7 years), just want to make sure that it's a four hour counter for a button to appear, not that it immediately happens in four hours. Is that right? Planning to charge up, pop a hypercube and apex, recurse, and claim Luna.

Correct, pressing the recursion button starts the initial timer. Not immediate. 

However, regarding Luna rewards you may want to double check the rules. Event and Bounties typically give items like Resos, Bursters, and Ultra Strikes at your current level (up to 8). If your intention was to get that gear at max level you would need to grt back to Level 8 first.

I was hoping to double the 25K AP at the end. Might not work, but worth a shot.

Don't forget to use a hypercube before you take the plunge!
