    Opened up 200 LL tokens, trying to champ Jubilee from a 2/2/2. She is now a 5/5/2 with 7 saved covers. Odds of that dry spell: (20/21)^200, or about 1-in-17,293

    On the bright side, thanks to all of those bonus shards, my two Grockets combined to ascend to LVL 475. I'm looking forward to the 9000+ damage in strike tiles per match...

    Not sure what the 20/21 is supposed to represent (nor do I not understand why you didn't favorite her for sharding that last cover).

    But the odds of getting a specific cover for a 5 are .15 (odds of a 5) * (1/9) (odds of a specific cover for one of the 3 characters) = .0166666. Put another way, the odds of drawing anything else but that 1 cover are .983333 for a given draw. Over 200 draws the odds you missed are .983333^200 = .0346 or roughly 3.5%.

    Yeah...I messed up the math. That just shows just how ticked off I was! :angry::angry::angry:
    ~1:7 for a five star
    1:3 out of that for a particular five star (this was where the 20/21. 1-(1/7)*(1/3))
    1:3 for a particular cover.

    The odds I gave were not getting ANY Jubilee covers out of those 200, not just that particular cover.

    So not as bad as I thought...but it was still annoying. Had I known it would have been 200 covers without that particular one, I would have sharded her and been done with it. At least my Kang got a few extra levels.

    Edit - Another 50 LTs, dropping my stash to 300. Another two saved covers for Jubilee, and still at 5/5/2. Chances are now down to 1.5%. Meanwhile, Kang got enough bonus shards for three more covers, bringing him to 493.

    I was doing quite well in Simulator against a BRB/5Polaris/5Nico team until the AI fired off their team-up that I didn't notice at the start of the battle.

    Hailstorm.

    That ended the match...quickly.

    PvP against everyone's favorite Thor.

    1: Through cascades only, the AI had gathered 29 yellow in 2 turns.

    2: In a different match, I was set to win on my next turn. Her cascades gave her enough AP to fire all 3 of her powers.

    I get that a lot... my 1st turn only get 1 match. Then AI got massive cascade at next turn and fires all cylinders in 1 go... suffice to say colorful words flying everywhere... :D

    Fighting in the Victor Mancha event, I brought along a Monkey Business team-up to stop iHulk from returning after he died. I fired off the team-up, doing 14K damage to him. He died, and then came right back again. with his 51K health. And yes, I ended up losing the match...

    Does the special ability of Monkey Business not work if it's a team-up.

    Passive components of abilities never work without the character / as team-ups.

    The Mancha PvP was the hardest one I've faced in a while. Lots and lots of wipes. Somehow, those Vultures kept falling backwards into blue over and over and over again.

    It's a bug, 2+ years old.

    Because of course it is... :frowning: I'm also assuming that necro-ing a thread that hasn't been posted to in a year about a still-active bug is a no-no... :fearful:

    Assuming that's true, it should be allowed to open a new one, no?

    This was a few days ago, but the resolution came through.

    I been pushing Low Level AI to get to rank 5.
    5 shards away from ranking it and pull a support.
    Boom bonus shards x300
    Can’t do anything about it, contact CS got resolution. They can’t do anything about it.
    Just my luck, even when I’m lucky I’ve got **** luck. 😂

    Blew an easy one tonight closing out Honor Among Thieves. Was first overall heading into the final clears(cl9) and didn't start early enough. Hadn't done that in a while and picked a bad time to do it. Then an absolute trash start for me in Hearts of Darkness. Gonna have to make up some major ground there.

    LVL 594 Boosted, Ascended 4-star Juggernaut and LVL 550 Omega Red vs mThor and Iceman, both in the 480s in the Hawkeye PvP. Piece of cake, right? Oh, ye of so much faith...

    Their first turn yields four match-5s, 15 Green AP for two shots of Icemen, and enough blue for mThor to fire off her blue even after Iceman's passive drains the 3 blue for the stun tiles on their next turn. mThor's yellow takes Hawkeye out and results in a couple more crit tiles. I'm stun-locked by turn 4, and their crits and stuns just keep coming.

    End result - Nearly 600K match and power damage to my team, taking my entire team out.

    I've been keeping track of when I get the ascendeds. 71,76,55,73,06,56. It's a little early but this is not on track to be a normal distribution. Fortunately, you're guaranteed to clear the vault if you can hit it every day.

    I've pulled an ascended guy with my very first pull from the vault. It's random.

    I'm missing the villain tokens quest today, and there are still 20 hours left on the clock. I've got the Prof X quests, and the Agatha quests showing up just fine, though.

    Everyone worse moment

    Reading my posts 😂

    Really though playing the game half asleep when you just wanted to spend 1000cp for the new superstar and finding out you clicked over 4000 cp away
