Which would you rather have? A Heroic token or 600 ISO-8

So I got a heroic token today from my daily reward and got to thinkin a bit. Standard tokens cost 500 ISO. Never a good deal. But what about heroics? It seems like a newer player might benefit more off of heroics, but after you've played a couple months you really have so many covers that they aren't worth much. Yeah you can get a 4* if your lucky and a 3* is good if you find 1 you don't have. Personally though, I wouldn't trade 500 ISO for any heroics if it was an option. I rarely ever even take the daily 100's. I think shields also kind if devalued tokens for me to an extent.

Not really trying to prove anything here. Just thought might be interesting to see what y'all think.

Edit: looks like I had a typo in title. Whoops. Lol

    ISO all the way, most token's end up as captain america, storm or iron man 35 so I won't make as much ISO as 600 from their sale.

    You can't get 1-stars from a heroic.


    Heroics are only useless to me because all my 2-stars are done for the most part. Need a few Bag-Mans and mn.Mags, but don't really need them need them.

    very true on the iron man lol, but in general I find heroic and standard tokens a pain as all my 2 stars and 3 stars are level'd although I am rebuilding wolverine and thor at the moment.

    Heroic tokens gives a pretty good chance of 3* cover, while iso is just iso.

    Yeah at the chance of getting 3* or 4* chars, I'd take the heroic every time.

    Heroic. Even if I get a 3 star I don't need, that's 25 HP.

    Can always grind more ISO

    Tokens, all day.

    Granted, I have a relatively impoverished roster. If I was rocking multiple lvl 141 characters, I might feel differently.

    Depends on what you currently need. So a choice would be best.

    As for now I'd take the Token over the ISO, but sometimes when you gotta squeeze out a few levels, the ISO would be better

    If I was winning either one I'd go with tokens, eventually your gonna get a few three stars. If I'm choosing to buy either one I'm going with the iso. It's a better investment since 600 is worth more than the 125 you can sell a 2 star for. On a somewhat related note, selling prices for covers are painfully low.

    My mindset was if I could gamble 500 ISO to open a heroic then would I? I think I would always save my ISO since the covers I need are few in variety.

    Shields definitely made the daily heroic useless. imo it was already of questionable value once you had more than a handful of 2*s maxed, though very good until then. There wasn't much in the way of cheap HP sinks before, so you could spend 100 for a reasonable chance at something you at least half wanted, or save to 1250 for one specific cover. Now you can spend 75-150 and more or less guarantee yourself 2-3 specific 3*s, so why would you ever spend 100 on a probably-Cap?
