1 Too crazy?, I guess late on story mode is when you get 3 rank covers?, is a bad idea to start with a rnak 3 roster?, after all, rank 1 will be replaced,also 2.

2 Whats the difference between highy trained, common, etc packs?

Thanks fr your answers.

    1. Really bad idea. 3* covers are pretty hard to get consistently without spending a lot of money if you only have a 1* roster (they're only offered as high end PvP prizes and PvE prizes), so you pretty much need to max out a 2* team if you want to compete for 3* covers. You only get a few 2* covers at the end of prologue: no 3* covers at all.

    2. The heroes that you can get from them. Highly trained, for instance, only has the heroes that are buffed in simulator.

    1. Purple, but olny on Thursdays and holidays.

    2. Far from here, and besides, the wench is dead.

    Common and Heroic packs are available all the time. Common packs will get you 1* covers or better. Heroic token/packs will get you 2* or better.
    The other ones are for each special event. For instance, the highly trained token is guaranteed to give you one of the covers for the powered up heroes for the simulator event. So a highly trained token will give you a Ragnarok, Moonstone, CapA, C.Storm, etc. A diabolical token (speed evil events) will give you one of the 3* villians. A Courageous token (Heroic Lightning Rounds) will give you one of the 3* heroes. The special event tokens are only available during the special event (and expire fairly quickly after it's over).

    That's a lie (no fault on your behalf, but D3). I got a black hulk cover, submitted a ticket ~48 hours ago, no reply. The pack says "2* or better". Then below it says "powered up hero guaranteed". I think it can be any powered up token or better... so 3* or 4*. That, or it's a bug. In any case, it doesn't work how we would think.

    Andy is correct. The highly trained token will give out covers for ANY of the heroes that has been buffed throughout the event. Each round a new hero is buffed: Hulk will be buffed during the last round.

    You don't need to max out your 2* covers to compete and get 3* covers. I would actually recommend that you DO NOT LEVEL your 1* and 2* characters past level 40-50.

    This will cause you to stay in the noob brackets for PVE and let you get all the 3* and 4* covers you need.
    Just keep saving your ISO for the 3* covers but don't level them until you can max out the team that you want.

    While this is a decent strategy for PvE nowadays, you have to remember that those events run once every couple weeks on average (which means 3 3* covers every week off the main event, whatever covers you can get off of subs), and the only reason why noobs are doing well now is because of scaling not being tuned well. The best way to progress in this game is to be placing highly in PvP tournaments so that you can be guaranteed 3 of the 2*/3* covers that you want, especially since you're guaranteed PvP tournaments 3 times a week. Leveling your 2* team to 85 is essential to placing well in the PvP tournaments, and so that's the most effective way to get more covers imo.

    Also, I really don't think three levels of your covers have any bearing on who you fight. It has to do with your MMR in PvP and with the ever changing scaling algorithm in pve. Level your covers.
