I didn't realize I had to plan what comics to teach, so I have them at 3/5/2, 5/5, and 3/5/5 respectively. I think that is fine for the first two, but I think I really screwed the pooch with Storm. Is there any way to recoup any of my losses, or do I just need to somehow find a ton of books and make a new one from scratch to get 5/3/5 (or 5/5/3 depending on which you guys think is better)?

I don't think it's worth the time/iso. Once you transition out of 1*'s, you won't be using M. Storm much, so I wouldn't worry about it.

If you really have just started, you'll get a lot of use out of her for a while yet and 5 green is key with her. Getting a new set of covers will take some time but shouldn't take too long. As for how to rebuild her -- I prefer a 5/3/5 build, but 5/5/3 is good, too, and there's an argument to be made for 5/4/4 too. As long as you have 5 green the rest is down to personal preference.

Should I use Hero Points to buy the skills, hope to get lucky with opening ones from events? Also, Tolken mentioned opening a bunch of covers at once, why is that? Is there a mechanic I don't know about? Sorry if I am asking too much, my ignorance has already cost me so now I'm really curious before I shoot myself in the foot again. Here is my collection so far in case you want to know: 1 Star Iron Man 4/5/3 (0/1/3 spare) Black Widow 5/5 Storm 3/5/5 (0/2/2 spare) Juggernaut 4/3 2 Star Storm 1/1/1 Thor 1/1/1 Black Widow 0/0/1 Wolverine 0/1/0 Moonstone 1/0/1 Hawkeye 1/0/0 3 Star Doctor Doom 1/0/0 Daredevil 0/0/1

I'd actually thrown away an Astonishing Wolv cover or two before due to roster constraints, but I'll be keeping the current two. But, with regards to HP progression rewards, I'm not sure if it's possible to get there with the OP's exact roster, but I've been able to get to the 50 HP progression award in 3-4 tournaments I've played in (in my case, that's a majority), using a maxed IM35 and maxed mBW as my core team (got lucky on an X-Force Wolv very early, and am currently building Thor, so they tag-team as 3rd team member). And yeah, I've gotten probably 5-6 3* covers through standard tokens (none of which repeat ), so they're definitely useful. I'm also curious about the "open 20-30 standard tokens at once" tip. Does opening a bunch at once raise 2*/3* probabilities?
HailMary wrote: @NorthernPolarity: Ah, got it. Makes sense. I've done that for maybe a half-dozen at a time before, but never 20-30. The lack of an expiration date on tokens is a nice loophole, though as a beginner with a lot of low-cover-count chars, I usually favor opening them immediately, in case there's a cover that boosts an existing character.
