Ever since the announcement that 4* odds would go up at the start of Season 19 I've been saving all my tokens to open this afternoon. Even the standards, which aren't getting an increase, because I prefer to open those in bunches anyway. And now that magical time is finally here! TOKEN PARTY! Let's see how I do!


(Yes, I know it's not clear whether the banked tokens are getting an odds increase. Still saved 'em, still opening 'em.)


69 Standard Tokens (tee hee!)

Not exactly an auspicious start, but let's see how the event tokens do for me...

3 Stockpiled Stretch Goals Tokens
icon_quicksilver.pngblueflag.png

3 Stockpiled Blue Shift Tokens
icon_spiderman.pngyellowflag.png

3 Stockpiled Smash Hit Tokens
Nothing but 2*s.

3 Stockpiled Heavy Metal tokens
Goose egg.

3 Stockpiled Army Of One Tokens

3 Stockpiled Women Of Marvel Tokens

1 Stockpiled Prodigal Sun Token
Nope.

5 Stockpiled Hunt Tokens
icon_hulk.pnggreenflag.png
icon_doctoroctopus.pngblackflag.png

3 Stockpiled Gauntlet Tokens
icon_doctoroctopus.pnggreenflag.png

Okay, nothing useful from my archived tokens, but the live events definitely have updated 4* rates, so here's hoping...

2 Divine Champions Tokens
icon_ironman.pngblueflag.png

8 The Hulk Tokens

Help me, heroics, you're my last hope here.

14 Heroic Tokens
icon_gamora.pnggreenflag.png
icon_shehulk.pngredflag.png
icon_ironfist.pngblackflag.png

....well. That was...something. So much for taking advantage of the boosted 4* rates. It did go out on a high note with possibly the best 3* cover in the game -- shame I've already got IF maxed out.

I hope other people have better luck!

    I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been a general thread on the increase. How much did the odds change?

    Edit: I just opened a couple, got 2 moonstones and NOPE'd right out of the app.

    4* increased by a whooping .1% for season 19 icon_e_smile.gif

    It went from 15 4* characters at .2% each (3-point-something percent total) to 17 at .3% each (five-point-something percent). So it's a 50% boost, that's not bad.

    Ok, I went back in to open some more:

    redflag.pngicon_captainamerica.pngicon_falcon.png Falcap ok!

    See the sneak preview thread.

    Odds are up from 3.45% to 4.6%. So each one went from .215625 (.2464 before Sam/Reed were added) to .2875. Rounding in game is fun.

    They'll read as 0.2% again when there are 19 characters available.

    Edit: In the spirit of the thread, I opened my three Divine Champions tokens, 1250iso. I'm hoarding the rest until Iceman, I think.

    I am pleased. Only needed the fourstars, but Hulkbuster has 12 covers now (5/5/2) so that's nice. Kingpin has 5 purple and I am aiming for a 5/3/5 build, but I realized I can use him to generate yellow for boosted Luke Cage this week... She-Hulk is a nice third there.

    Only problem is I am almost out on ISO.
  • 35 heroic and 1 10 pack from prior season

    4 4 stars.


    Not bad, not terrible. Needed all of them

    Also got my last blue hood

    Opened about 75 tokens yesterday before the change, 57 standard, 8 heroics, 7 Hulk, Legendary, 2 StretchPvP

    4x4* ( redflag.pngicon_thing.png , redflag.pngicon_elektra.png, 2x yellowflag.pngicon_starlord.png .. one from the Legendary)
    5x3*, 4 trainable from the group that need more than 1 cover.... which is some achievement as there are not many i need

    Pleased with that.

    ok, had 17 heroics and one from divine champs and had very good luck with this bunch. 18 tokens got me 6 3*s and a 4*:

    icon_invisiblewoman.png certainly one of my least desired 4*s, but she's also my worst covered, so i'll take it
    icon_daken.png don't need
    icon_caroldanvers.png don't need
    icon_punisher.png don't need
    icon_punisher.png don't need - yes, on back to back pulls
    icon_ironman.png im40 - usable
    icon_shehulk.png she's my worst covered good 3*, could really use this one

    is IW the new mostorm? she seems to be everywhere. unfortunately mine is only up to 1/2/-.

    3 WoM, 3 Divine Champions, 34 Heroic (about a week and a half worth). Completely 3* covered so hoping for -one- cover I can use out of them, let's see how this goes:

    Black Storm
    Red Rags
    Blue Spidey
    Black Storm (#2)
    Black Punisher
    Purple Doom
    Blue Grocket
    Black Psylocke
    Green Loki
    Red Cage
    Purple Doom (#2)
    Purple SW
    Purple SG
    Blue Spidey (#2)
    Yellow Patch

    40 tokens, 15 non 2*'s, complete strike-out: no closer to 4* transition. Wish I could trade five 3*'s for a legendary token, then I'd be three covers closer to the 4* transition!

    opened about 6 season of tokens ended up about 2100 covers. i have pretty much all 3* covered right. 3* i got 132 and 4* 32 with only 2 being unused. and i can pretty much say that the odds of getting a 4* in standard is near impossible; i opened 1165 and didn't get a single 4*. i'm dreading selling those covers in a couple of weeks, the iso spike might get me sandboxed.

    I feel like I got some of your good luck.

    I got a icon_nickfury.pngyellowflag.png out of 5 heroics. Rest were 2 star.png

    And a icon_deadpool.pngstar.pngstar.pngstar.pngstar.pngpurpleflag.png from my Meet Rocket and Groot token.

    I had approximately 28 heroic and event tokens, plus my season 10 pack and 45 standard tokens.

    I got three usable covers

    Antman purpleflag.png
    Star-lord redflag.png (to the extent that star-lord is ever usable)
    Cage blackflag.png (useful for my duplicate cage)

    Since I basically only need 4*s, that is more or less the expected rate of return.
