    Getting to the last node of Webbed Wonder, getting the Howard cover, getting a useless blue for my 2/5/5 Howard.  How many other players have 2 useless Howard covers on their vine today?  And they are purple and blue, so I can’t even combine them for a little extra iso.  In 3 months I can try again....
    Hopefully you get a h4h offer for your last green. If you don't, this is probably a case where spending 120 CP is well worth it. Besides essentially getting 3 covers, you would also have the peace of mind of never caring what color Howard you get again.
    Experience has taught me that, unfortunately, Howard covers do not trigger HfH offers.  2000 iso FTW!

    It's certainly possible that they don't anymore, but I recall some people got Howard offers when H4H was new.
    Still, 120 CP for peace of mind...

    Opened up a CP hoard of 240, amid the flurry of usable covers, I have one MEHulk Cover (currently 1/3/5) and one Nightcrawler cover (5/2/4) sitting on the vine waiting to be sold in pain in 14 days.... lol

    Received my first dupe Howard. A blue cover for my 4/5/2 duck.

    Another run of Webbed Wonder, Another Purple Howard cover. I Think he is up to 3/4/12 by now. Why are my random covers Always Purple?

    My son is currently on an 11/2/13 run with 2-star Black Widow. He's got one max-champed, one at 5/2/5 waiting in the wings for that third blue cover, and then his next two are ready to go at 5/0/5 and 1/0/3. I'm just glad this is a 2-star where the covers come quickly enough (usually) that they'll be cycled through quickly.

    My Best Moment of the Day just turned into my Worst Moment of the Day in a super 1st World Problem turn of events:

    I decided upon winning the Invisible Woman crash that I'd start stocking up on LTs in advance of the next 5* release, rather than spending them as i get them like I usually do (I have all 4*s on roster, and all but 2 5*s, so the only waste is from >5th colors). This was going well, until i got a standard token from Honor Among Thieves, and was quickly scrolling way over to the left to use it. I'm not used to having tokens banked up, so I inadvertently hit the Latest Legends button. So I got a green Chavez from that (0/2/3), and of course the Shield Training is over so I can't jump in and try to do that one more node. Probably one of the few times landing a Chavez cover is going to be my worst moment of the day, but there goes my hoard of 1 lol.

    Choking for Command Points, finding out I have all the characters needed to make a run at the fifth node on the Deadpool Daily... and realizing it's a team I have absolutely no chance of beating. :neutral:

    I went pulling for Archangel ahead of Simulator. Got him in 28 pulls, but pulled only one other 5* (yellow Thor, making him 0/1/5). No Gambits. I feel my odds of getting him covered (currently 2/3/5) before he leaves are getting less and less likely.

    Playing Burrito Behmoth yesterday and the AI cascaded into a match-5 THREE times in a row on it's first go! Ol' Prof Bighead couldn't believe it, he was having the time of his life as he zapped me and the AP bars of his mates all filled up and they all battered my Ragnarok who was downed before he could match a single thing. Then Prof was able to go invisible and spam protect tiles! So I got Quake's blue and used it on black (which is where Prof had his biggest collection) and it removed all the black tiles APART from those with protects on!  Somehow I still won but this is the closest to defeat I have been on BB for a long time. Thank goodness for Quake green!

    Got 10 2*s from my PvP 10-pack. On the positive side, I got a few non-yellow Captain Americas (already had 3 on the vine) and a Bullseye, so I was able to fully cover & champ both my dupes and sell their 144s.

    Got the 2* Hawkeye from the Galactus progression reward.  That got me a 3* Hawkeye cover.  That got me a Legendary Token.  That got me my first Archangel cover (and first 5* cover this calendar year), and a bonus 5*, a red Thor cover.

    My 0/5/0 Thor is very sad.  Which is why this is worst, not best.

    Send a ticket to customer service. As long as it's in latest they will swap it.

    Interesting.  I've not really followed any discussions on swapping (searching in this forum sucks), so these might be stupid questions and way OT for this thread.  But here goes.

    Would CS swap a cover that was gained from a bonus hero?

    Does the swap have to be to another colour for the same character?

    Is there a limit to the number of swaps per account?

    Yes, any character in Latest can be swapped no matter where the cover came from.
     
    Yes, only the same character, diff color.  Caveat:  a 550 can be swapped for a diff character. Probably not an issue.  ;)

    There is no limit to swaps per account. There is the possibility that the swap program will be discontinued at some point.

    Pulling a green DD with the Vengeance token, the only 5* cover that's useless to me. And no swaps by CS either... :neutral:

    I did that with a green Black Bolt cover in the Archangel tokens.  My 6/1/1 BB was not amused.

    That's what's keeping me from redeeming my small but growing hoard of LTs and CP. Another 6 covers and Kingpin will hit 280 and give me my 5th yellow Daredevil cover, making him 5/3/1. With RNGesus being a bigger prankster than Loki, if I do a premature pull I just know I'm going to get a yellow DD cover, so Kingpin's 280 reward cover will go to waste because I don't have enough LTs or CP to have a good chance at fully covering DD. So I'm waiting, and I've found that as my hoard grows, it's actually getting easier to ignore the 'itch'.
