Seems like you're overachieving when you should be underachieving: if there is a particular 2* cover that you need like Thor for a tournaments placement awards, go for the 2* cover! Don't get another 3* cover that you cant use yet.

I've said it 100 times now, but they need to rejigger the SHIELD tournament reward structure to be a way to provide mid-level players more opportunities for 2 star covers.
Veracity wrote: Sounds like B4C0N had a go.@bonerang: echoing others, if you're placing 45 or higher and getting covers you have no immediate use for, maybe try placing 46? Actually, aim to place about 60. If you want the 3x2* reward, you ought to aim to have a bit of a buffer before accidentally going up to the 1x3* booby prize, as other people getting knocked down and defense wins can move your ranking up without you doing anything. If you're not getting attacked enough unshielded to drop you to where you want, just retreat a few matches to drop your rating. Also do all LRs to 100 you can (or even 50 if that's too much trouble). Don't knock easy free standard tokens: usually they're ISO, occasionally they're something you can use. Some covers you'll probably always be short on - you just have to cough up the cash or live without them. Loads of people seem to be using leveled 3* rosters by the time they get MNMags, and I still have a low-capped C.Storm who stuns worse than Captain America.

I was laughing my **** off, threw in a tank team of 15 rags, 18 doom and 15 gsbw once I hit 50 pts. I won enough through defense to get to 100 and get the extra iso. That made my night.
