    She will be missed. My favorite memory is the fatality where she rips off the enemy head and eats the face.

    I'm hoping she's gone so they can update her with a third ability.

    Then they can do that with the other 1*'s.

    Then they can merge the 1*'s into the 2*'s.

    Then they can shift all rarity levels down one level.

    Then they can make all costs go down that rarity shift, so you can max two 4*'s a season.

    Then they can make all covers go down with that rarity shift, 4*'s much more common and not RNG only for 5*.


    ....I'm a dreamer. Go Yelena go, hopefully you are the sign of bigger things to come!

    (Then, of course, they'll make RNG-only 6*....)

    "Yelana bendova and pick up that soap?" said her Russian cellmate.

    How many standard token-eligible characters are there, again?

    I was actually an existing fan of Yelena from the comics when MPQ came out (that Rucka miniseries was awesome), so I really enjoyed that she was a launch character in this game. The next time I have a vodka drink, I will raise one to her!

    I own her action figure:

    in the console versions she's actually pretty bad **** as they've rebalanced her costs to 9 blacktile.png and 11 purpletile.png which makes her extremely usable against special tile users.

    Wanna say there had been 8?

    Yelena, Natasha, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Juggernaut, Spiderman, Storm, Venom. It's possible I'm forgetting someone, but off the top of my head that sounds right.

    Yelena getting put out to pasture drops that number to 7.

    Just pulled 2 straight Yelena from Standard Tokens.

    Can't wait for her to go.

    3. Did D3 try to fix her but just fail somehow?

    It seems like just the other week that they let her overwrite invisibility tiles. And then released War Machine.

    I have faith! Next patch, Yelena will become the first and only champable 1*, giving Bag-Man covers, and we will all be scrambling for her covers!

    Well, those 8 were taking up the ~72% that was dedicated to 1*s.

    Literally every other character in the game—except 5*s and recent 4*s, Bagman, Dino, and Howard—take up the rest.

    So .... 8 + 13 + 40 + 31(?) ... 92 "std eligible" characters!
    Standard tokens only go up to 3*

    No they don't, the chance of drawing a fourstar is just so miniscule that they don't bother to show it.

    I'd say, 0/1700 4* since I started counting...

    1* at >80%.

    As I said: miniscule chance. But apparently it does happen.

    Yes. But, at least for me, it was a long time ago.

    So I guess the smart thing to do for now is hoard standard tokens in case they are improving the odds for higher tiers?

    Yeah. I think, it's possible that they've removed the chance to get the 4*s since they updated the token page and specifically put " star.png , star.pngstar.png , OR star.pngstar.pngstar.png ! "

    I pulled 2 4*s before that, but none since the change. We'll see if I pull 1 before the next anniversary. When it happens, I'll celebrate with a pint of beer.
    I believe IceIX confirmed it was still possible (but incredibly unlikely) to get fourstars from standard tokens. I only have hearsay as proof though.

    Another possibility is that they lowered the odds even more. Or have they said the odds stayed the same?
