...and spend Savory ones. Can I make it to 300 Sweet tokens without the urge to spend them overwhelming me?

    That's funny, I was actually thinking something similar. I figured I would spend my 40 Sweet token_taco.png on the Scarlet Witch week and save my Savory token_taco.png to 300.

    There's no way I could actually save two stock piles of 300 tokens with feeling the urge to open them but 1 is suffice.

    I'll continue to spend my savory tokens the week they're earned. No way I can hoard two different types either.

    You should spend the tokens if you need healthpacks, while you should save the other type to open at 300 to get everything that you want... if you want that, otherwise healthpacks might be more valuable when you need them most.

    realistically you only need to save about 100 tokens to get a 4*, someone on forums did the math fyi and stuff

    Already up to about 70 Taco Tokens. At 600, I'll use them until I get the 4 stars I want, then continue save. That could be 1 use, or all 300, but at least I'm guaranteed to get them.

    But if you want all three 4*'s then you need 300 icon_e_wink.gif

    As a way of breaking it up a little bit, I'm working one type of token to 150 before saving for the other. That way, every five months, you'd have a set of tokens to use up. This all assumes they don't change the system before that...

    your probability goes down dramatically if you open the entire vault...smartest idea here was to get 300 spend till you get a 4* then (wait for) reset

    Remember, DO NOT spend them if they are not in current rotation as the ones out of rotation reset every time you pull one, every single out of rotation taco is a 1/300 chance.

    I decided to hoard, but then I needed health packs, started opening and got a 4* on my second taco... lesson is why hoard when you can just be lucky.

    I'm hoarding everything since the start. I do not need the 3* enough to take a chance and when I'have 600 tokens I'll be wanting the 4*.

    In my case, I've got a pretty wide roster. Don't have every **** or even every ***, but I'm in good shape and don't necessarily need luck. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Since I'm still working on my 3* roster; I decided to spend whenever a vault offered appropriate covers.
    Think about it: by the time you'll get your 300 tokens, you will have gained 300 3* covers (that's 23 heroes fully covered). The 3* token you will get from the vault will probably be useless. Also you will be 3-4 roster slots behind, on average.
    And also, on average, spending sooner will get you the same amount of 4* covers and you will get them sooner.

    Roster slots aren't a problem. I sit on my HP rewards.

    Uh... You get two tacos per day and only one 3* cover. icon_e_wink.gif So you'll have 600 tacos and 300 covers.

    Also, some of the people that are hoarding are doing so because they already have all the 3*s covered and are instead looking for the 4*s. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Different persons, different needs, different strategy I guess.

    I'm sorry about that. It's factually wrong icon_redface.gif . When hoarding then spending, you will obviously stop spending as soon as you have the things you want. In your case, you WILL get more 4* covers/spen token on average.
    I'm sure there are threads which do a thorough analysis of various strategies.

    As I understand you're trying to get the best of both worlds between early reward and efficiently spending, right?
    Then I wish you good luck in keeping your resolve. No doubt MPQ will try to lure you on the path of unfullfilled promises icon_e_biggrin.gif .
