I still need Hood yellow and black, so I'm still in, as it's way easier to get a yellow here than in LRs. But wow - they really are testing the market on HP spend for covers on new heroes. At least I just maxed my BP, so shield spend should be at a minimum. I suppose I'll use the lack of Thor as an excuse to begin stockpiling ISO again for the X-Force buff? how much HP did you spend on BP covers if you don't mind me asking?

Woke up and went through my awards from the night before and there was a red Thor cover - it turns out I had gained 78 points in the night, from going 4-0 on defense, and gotten up to 704. Got up just over 800 and 4th place, and threw up a 24 hour shield, figuring I'd only break it if I was in danger of dropping out of the top 5 (the top 4 were all 750-850, where 5th was at about 550 and 6th about 520). Got out of the shower and already had another defensive win to push me up to 820 and 3rd place. This is like the exact opposite of the Hulk PVE. My Hood, which was still at 0/1/0 less than two weeks ago, might be 4/5/2 tomorrow.

I ain't got anything to do today except plat Titanfall and drink beer so I think I'll hold on just fine.

My Storm Classic is level 69 and 4G / 2B / 5Y so the blue cover would be welcome. My Hood is level 18 and 0Y / 1B / 1B. I'm leaning towards the Classic Storm cover because it will do me the most good right now. However, I'm wondering if this is short-sighted--I'm sure that eventually I've have more than enough Storm Classic covers whereas Hood covers will likely be tougher to collect. Then again, a 0/1/2/ Hood won't do me any good anytime soon. Anyone have any advice? Second question--same as the first but in general terms. Regardless of how you feel about Storm Classic or Hood, what would you recommend to do in situations like this--go for the 2* cover that will be of use immediately or grab the 3* cover that is all but useless in the short-term but will eventually be welcome? I have a pretty solid 2* team but most of my 3* characters are sitting at 2 or 3 covers each.
