Well, love it or hate it, Percy did kinda fix Beast sort of in the end, but it remains to be seen how the next writers will handle him(the brief synopsis for the upcoming book with Beast seems to have not recognized Beast got reset to his late '70's persona and wouldn't really be first-person aware of some of the crap they cited...).
Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
Storm was the biggest winner in my view. Hands down. Biggest loser was probably Moira. Or Beast.
“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
I don't think so. She was a great friend to mutants before, and died helping to cure the Legacy Virus. Now she's some weird self-hating mutant who did her best to destroy them, and lied all that time. As neat as PoX was, it never lived up to its potential, so, no, the Krakoa era was when they dug up her corpse and violated it.
Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
Winners for me: Storm, Magneto, Sunspot, Destiny, Synch, Thunderbird. The latter three were DEAD prior to this, and I hope to see a lot more of them in the future. I’m not listing losers as I don’t like dwelling on negatives.
I would say that the biggest winner and loser in this era was Moira imo.

I was trying to do too much and not doing any of it as well as I could. But I've had a change of mind... though not everyone shall enjoy it. I will.

Winners: Storm, Emma, Moira (was dead and barely remembered), Destiny (same as Moira), Magneto and Apocalypse (for a while), Maddelyne.
Safe on their own little corner: Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Iceman, Legion, Betsy and Wanda.
Barely there: Cyclops, Rogue, Gambit.
F***ed: Xavier and Beast.
Beast, Moira and Nature Girl seem like they lost hard.
The writers have revealed that NYX is not exactly a "team" book. It's more like an examination of a group of characters post-Krakoa as they interact among themselves and with other characters previously associated with them.
Updated to include Nature Girl. While I think she went off the deep end I didn't hate the activist route either so I put her in negligent.
TBH.. I am not familiar enough or invested enough in Nekra to give that a proper answer. However, I'd likely put her with Sabretooth in positive. The fact she was included in his journey for this run after years and years neglect I think seems well for such a lesser known.
