In case you were thinking about buying covers...

I had 50 recruit tokens stored up from tournaments from the past week or two - 41 1-stars and 9 2-stars. Just hadn't gotten around to using them. I just emptied them all, half-hoping to get a Ragnarok cover or two. Here are the results:

41 1-star recruits:
1x 3-star covers(Classic Spidey)
5x 2-star covers(Magneto, Bullseye, Wolverine, 2x Mooonstone)
35x 1-star covers

9 2-star recruits:
9x 2-star covers (Hawkeye, 2x Cap, Wolverine, 2x Magneto, Thor, 2x Moonstone)

Interpret the results as you will. From my perspective, I'm damned glad I didn't spend anything on these.

    My results have been completely opposite of yours. After a week of playing I bought $20 of HPs and bought mostly covers. I got 3 red rags, a bunch of bag men/ 2* magnetos, 2 blue and 3 yellow spideys, and 3 x force wolverines. Since then I haven't spent any money, and completed my rags with token/hp pulls.

    Spider man I have max trained from standard! Tokens. Pulled a couple classic magnetos and an IM40 with standards also. Got a red rags yesterday the same way.

    Maybe its different because I use every token the second I get it? I can't see why that would matter, but either way, I've had drastically different results.
  • RNG makes me sad.
  • I got 72x 1* Recruit Tokens. When i get 100 will spend all. Will post results. =D
  • I am saving all future tokens for when the hulk comes out.

    I'm doing the exact same thing, LOL
  • All the anecdotal evidence I've seen posted makes me think you get about a 10 percent chance of a 2 star hero and a 3 percent chance at a 3 star and even less at a 4 star.


    Granted, you might have a better set of results over a small sample size, but in the long run I think those percentages are about true.

    Have they actually said hulk is coming? I don't know where this obsession with him is coming from

    I believe he was mentioned by an audio designer who worked on the game.

    But I think we just have a lot of players on these boards that love the guy.

    Perhaps this image on the Google Play store (it's been there forever) may have something to do with it

    You should play the lottery instead of this game icon_razz.gif
  • I don't get the point behind hording tokens... it seems counterproductive to me. At the very worst a token is worth 100 ISO. Not much, but it adds up -- it's basically the average value of a PvP match. At best it's a cover you wanted badly. But sitting in your Recruit bar it's worthless.

    Hoping it'll be useful when some new character comes out is... a poor choice. Currently they don't add characters to the regular packs automatically -- you won't pull an Invisible Woman right now -- so you may have to wait weeks before that character is available for your token.

    Generally I redeem tokens as soon as I get them -- even the IM40 one which I knew was going to be an instant sell since mine is already maxed.
