Civil War Vaults : What to buy / What not to buy?

TLCstormz

A lot of people are squabbling on Facebook about which vaults should be bought out, and which tokens should be ignored.

No threads on here about the vaults though, so here we go :

1. With Natasha Romanoff being so hideous to look at AND very below average gameplay wise, all 5* players should COMPLETELY avoid her LT vault, correct?

2. What about transition players, though? Those who ONLY want 4s. Isn't Red Room the absolute best odds at pulling a 4* the game has ever had, with it's 90% chance at one?

3. For those that have Stockpiled Civil War Legendary Tokens, they switched over vaults and are now "Red Room Stockpiled LTs". Are those are the same as the regular 25cp Red Room tokens that I spoke of in the previous question? ( it's difficult to tell, since the stockpiled page has a picture of one 5* Cap and one for 5*IM from the last run, but now with the title of "Red Room" )

4. The Civil War vault that gave us one free token, with 40 remaining. That's most beneficial to those who want to champ 3*Cap and 3*IM and their 2*s, right? Is the price to open the 40pack worth it, at 3750 HP?

5. What about the Cap and IM vaults of 80 items? Worth it, or nah?

1. Hideous? What? I wouldn't make a judgement about how she plays until actually playing her...

2. I wouldn't pay CP for a draw, but it's no loss if you have a token, so...what's the question?

4. It was worth it to me since I could use all covers immediately. I debated on the price but figured it was a whole lot better than the usual daily deals for 40 covers which are a far worse deal than single tokens.

5. I passed on that. It's nearly $100 worth of HP to get a whole vault. I did a few 1x draws since the discount is much better, but losing out on narrowing the odds on the good stuff makes it not that great of a deal either so I quickly gave up on that too.

I needed the Green Quake to finish her, and it took 30 pulls to get it. The way I looked at it, I used to buy covers for 2500HP, the vault was basically the same, and this gave me a boat of iso with it. I then bought one more 10 pack to get the token and 3 champ covers the first 30 pulls didn't get me.

I don't think the 80 vaults are worth it, but I'm not keen on spending 10k HP on things. The bigger spenders probably have a better sense of whether there is value in those vaults.

Hunh? People have already acquired her, played her, champed her, streamed her, etc......

I certainly haven't. Seems far too early to judge for me based on someone else's experience.

On this advice, I did something I thought I would never do - Bought TWO to Pck tokens.
But with 30 total pulls, I have the Red Room token, the Quake Green, all 3 Iron Man, & 2 of the 3 Steve Cap covers. Not to mention 3 of the 4 2500 ISO's and 5 of the 6 1000 ISO's.
So not too terrible.

With it being only a 40 total vault (41 cause they gave one for free), the odds are actually not awful here.
Again, agree that it's worth it for 40, but not for 80 total.
This of course is if you have like 20K HC sitting around not doing anything other than the odd roster slot here and there...

I would never buy out a vault for a 10% chance at a fixed 5*. I did pull from my Civil War vault 26 times though because I badly wanted that green Quake cover. On top of that I got:

3* Iron Man x 2
3* Captain America x 3
Heroic Tokens x 3
2500 iso x 2
1000 iso x 4
500 iso x 3
2* x 8

All of my 2*s were usable for Champion levels as were the Caps and 40s, which gave me enough XP to get level 60 for another 27,500 iso. From the 3 heroic token I got:

4* Nova red, badly needed
2 x 2*s for my Champion Farm.

For me it was worth it. I would not have done it without the Quake being in the vault. Everything else was gravy.

Damn this thread. So after reading this and considering my roster - Champed one champed and a few of covers each of IM40, 4Cap and Quake (which I love) I bought it.

Hate spending more $ but love the results - 100% useable covers + iso.

That said - the three Heroic tokens. I ended up with a fourth from further champing one

The heroics pulled 2 characters and 2 . Is this an unusual bit of luck or are these vault Heroic Tokens weighted differently?

If it matters - I pulled :

I'm with aes. The 3750 to empty a vault seemed about as "worth it" as spending HP on tokens ever is these days.

1) 5bw's art is subjective. I agree that she looks like a weak 5*, but we have to wait until more people have a chance with her to be certain.

2) I don't know that red room tokens are better than CL s for transitioners. They cost 5cp more each and don't have access to consensus top tier 5* like oml, gg, etc.

3) don't know, don't have any stockpiles CW tokens.

4) the quake cover may or may not be worth mining, depending on your roster. Personally, I did mine it for 11th cover for her. I may not have done so if I had only 2 or 3 covers for her.

5) the cw team vaults are just like any other pve event vault. Make the same value judgments that normally work for you.
