Heroic Luck

Odds for pulling good covers from tokens gets brought up here all the time, usually starting with someone complaining about the listed percentages being wrong (based on your personal experience/poor sample size). The most common specific complaint I think I've seen is getting nothing but 2 star.png out of an entire 10-pack.

I just wanted to present a good example of odds swinging the other way, because yes it can happen. I opened my Season 8 10-pack last night and pulled FOUR 4 star.png covers

Of course I didn't need a single one, but 4k ISO is nice too.

  • So what you're saying, is that if we cannibalize you, we gain your power?

  • Pft! EVERYONE knows that Token Pull Luck is stored in the spleen...
  • Wouldn't it all filter through the liver, though?
  • Sure! If you want the diluted stuff... besides. I hate Fava beans... icon_rolleyes.gif
  • I often find the odds fishy, since I keep pulling covers that I already own. You just said it your self, you dont need them yet you pulled them...
  • In a 10-pack, I just pulled:

    I swear I didn't eat him! It was only a joke! It was only a joooooooke!

    You have something in your teeth...looks like muscle tissue...
  • I woke up this morning in a tub in an abandoned apartment with an incision in my side. I think I know who to blame...

    It makes me cry when I see people with such luck (I still need Fury covers icon_cry.gif )

    I never get allmost anything good from tokens. The only time where I remember I got lucky was in the year celebration, but a part from that, I have a really bad luck. I got very few 3* or 4*, and when I got one I usually have him maxed. I opened recently my 60 saved heroic tokens and I only got one colossus and 0 4* (I got other 3*, but all maxed, and the number of 3* was below the average).
  • The first season ten-pack I think I got four three stars. Was great. Been awful (10-packs and single tokens) since then pretty much. You have stolen my luck sir, shame on you.

    Thanks for sharing a postive luck experience with a token pack rather than a negative one. icon_e_smile.gif

    Speaking for myself, I haven't hit the all 2* bad luck myself. My last pull had just one non-2* but it as a black 4* icon_wolverine.png which I desperately needed, so I was happy.

    I got the dreaded "All 2's" 10-pack from Season 8.

    At least it included a cover for 2-Star Ms Marvel that was trainable for me though - this is the small joy that a new 2-star character brings: the ability to grope for a positive spin on an otherwise bad draw.

    I've been getting good 3* and 4*.. But last two packs have been ability boosts which isn't a bad thing I needed them

    So you're the one that took them all!!! Too bad there isn't a way to CareBearShare them with alliance members. icon_razz.gif I got all 2* from my 10 pack this season, that was a first.
