    I won the Behemoth Burrito, but it was a MUCH longer slog than normal.  My LVL 299 Invisible Woman, 206 Patch and 104 Thor vs XFW, Hood and Black Widow...
    I had an almost equally horrible experience. Black Widow was almost dead but healed up on me to stay in the match, then stole more AP, then healed again. This was a horrible match up.

    Thanks for the challenge ;)
    Yep...might have to try my own XFW, Hood and OBW in the next Combined Arms. :)

    Yeah that BB was a horror. I just focused on gathering TU ap so I could oneshot BW with a TU power, and even then it took way too long because the AI loves to match TU tiles as well. Faced multiple agressive recons, anti gravity devices, and surgical strikes too, all while both Hood and BW chipping away at your AP pools with their passives.

    @JSP869 : I'd call that 'torture', not 'challenge'; because you're stuck with the team they give you, and the team they picked sucked. Against this team, you would want to bring along someone with cheap damage dealing or cheap/passive special tiles creating powers.

    Champing Wasp while Okoye remains under covered and short on time.

    I had to give in on that Behemoth Burrito and use a MBW TU on OBW. She kept using purple and blue on a loop, and no matter what match I made, it always set her up for either a blue or purple match. Fairly ridiculous that a single 2* could drag a match on that long.

    Same.  My Okoye has been at 12 for a month now while Wasp is currently at 13 + 7 saved.  I refuse to champ her though as I don't plan on ever using her.  Meanwhile I've come to accept that I'll have to wait for the right BH or enough Shuri champ levels in order to finish Okoye.

    +7? My sympathies. 
    I'm in a pseudo isopositive situation, so figure I'll spend it and get any champ rewards. 

    BH or Shuri is the way for me, just need to decide if I'll try and hoard till she's gone once Okoye leaves (and put it at least 6 weeks till I can champ her... ). Need 16 Shuri covers, so a wee way aways from that

    +9 as of this morning.  In addition to my 17th Wasp cover in the last few weeks (out of 18 fives pulled) I have pulled 4 Dino covers out of the anniversary vault...all but the two red which is the only color I actually need.  I think the game is trying to get me to quit.

    Totally blew the last sub of Honor Among Thieves, which is quickly becoming one of my most hated events..

    My Loki is 3/2/2, so wasn't much help in the essential node. I didn't have any issues on the initial clear, so the game decided to pay that back with interest on my grind. I only managed one clear after a wipe and at least one retreat. 

    All that wasted time meant I didn't get a single clear of the 4* essential node in. Finished in 52nd in CL9 for precisely zero Emma covers for my 4/3/5. I'll still be able to champ her with the progression cover from Strange Sights, so it's just a slight hiccup. Doesn't make it any less frustrating.

    Also got edged out of T5 in America's PvP at the last second, so no Dino covers for me.

    I'm not quite at champ levels yet, but I've pulled 10 Wasp covers so far...and my Okoye is 2/2/3

    I've been tracking my pulls. I typically pull about 45-50 4*s a month, give or take, from LTs, CP, and the rare HT. Despite this, I have not pulled a single 4* bonus hero since early July. Even if I'm being conservative with my numbers, that's about 0/135 when it should be 1/20. Based on their odds, I should have gotten 6-8 4* bonus heroes in this time. Before I pulled that bonus hero in early July I also had another drought, but not quite this bad. They really need to institute forced odds / streak breaking.

    Separately, out of my last 50 pulls (LTs and CP), I have pulled 4 5*s, which (rounding up) is about 1/13 instead of 1/7. I haven't pulled a 5* bonus hero in months either, but I don't have the data to determine how far off my odds are there.

    My luck in this game just sucks butt. I mortgaged the farm trying to cover Okoye but it just didn’t happen. 

    Been a while since I’ve been this let down.

    And my Wolveroach account, in the same slice, getting 8.

    After carefully managing my iso earning and expenditure, I ended up with... 

    8888882 iso. So close... yet so far...

    Forgetting that I still needed to do my final clears in Webbed Wonder, dropping from t20 to barely t100.

    95/100 pulls from the Anniversary vault.  The five items I have left?

    2 Fan Favorites tokens
    1 Devil Dinosaur
    1 Iceman
    1 2-star Torch.

    Guess which cover I'll get with tomorrows 100 HP pull.  Go on...guess.

    Edit - Didn't even take until tomorrow. Progression from the Strange Places got another token.  And yes, the pull was the 2-star Human Torch.  Four items left - All 4 (and possibly 5) stars.

    Utterly mistiming the final clear of Hearts of Darkness.  Missed the final wave and didn't touch the Surfer node.  Went from #2 on day 2 to #13 at the end of the event.

    Fighting Medusa, Panther and JJ in the Sim with 5-star Thor, Strange and OML.  Strange is sitting untouched, with 36,120 health.  Medusa activates her purple, which snags the only one of OML's strike tiles left on the board. It also creates a green match five.  That critical tile fals down and makes a match-4 of blues that include two trap tiles.  That cascade causes another trap to match up.  Strange goes from full health to dead in one turn...and doesn't even get to fire off him passive to take Medusa out in the process.

    Used a LT and got Kitty and it also happened to be one of the rare BH 5* and unfortunately I didn't even realize Wasp was hearted and got her for my bonus hero, so upset about that and wish I had noticed that before opening the token.
