Do you think that I should spend $100 that I receive as Christmas present?

Also comments about people that purchase packs whit HP are welcome!

Thanks!

    Since the 30% discount is still on, so you get more value for UP purchases.

    If you can get discounted google playstore credits or Apple store credits, you can use those credits to pay for mpq hp. That's even more value. I heard of ppl who manage to get up to 40% discount using the above 2 methods.
  • If you are new to the game:
    $100 dollars will not get you anything usable.
    You'll get probably three, maybe six maximum, three to four cardpack.png covers and you'll still be left in the doldrums of "too many single characters, not enough covers for each"

    If you're gonna spend - it needs to be $1000 at the very least. That may get you a usable character that you have 3 covers for that you can then manually level up by buying successive covers in each colour.

    To the community: Does that sound about right?

    If you are new to the game, for the love of god do not buy any character packs. The chance you get a usable character is incredibly low: you are much better off earning 3* covers normally, and once you have a high tier character with all colored covers, just use the HP to buy the covers for that character directly.
  • Well, I have almost played since the begin. Day 405 in Daily Reward and also full char rooster. I just want to see if I can get She-Thor covers. But I'm not sure about doing it, and also this will be the first time that I'm going to spend money in the game, so I don't know. I would like to purchase a 42 char pack but not sure about how well will go. If I decide to do it I will post a video about it. about Google credits, I don't know about it, How it works?

    eBay is currently running a discounted iTunes gift card of $100 for $75 through PayPal digital gifts if you pay using PayPal.

    If you purchase a 42-pack of tokens from the "Meet Rocket and Groot" event, your chance of getting a 4* Thor cover is 2.9% per token. Take from that what you will.
  • I've spent $100 total on this game and I still have some HP left.

    I bought roster slots and three covers, some shields, some health packs and (unfortunately) a few AP boots in a vain attempt to get top 10 in the PVE when it as pretty clear that just wasn't going to happen.

    I don't regret spending on the shields or the covers, which happened to be the last covers I needed for LThor, Hulk, and OBW.

    The health packs helped a little bit in PVP and PVE, but I generally don't recommend doing this unless you know you' have a VERY strong chance at placing well.

    In conclusion, I would spend HP on roster slots and only spend on covers if you feel that you are putting money towards KEY characters in your roster. I would not spend $100 for the chance of getting a 4*Thor unless you have plenty of ISO to level her up with and have some strong 3* characters.
