Highly Trained tokens

So... I just cashed in a "Highly Trained" token and got a red cover for three star Thor.

I'm not complaining, he's a good character, I think the only thing I would've wanted more is yellow hood cover, but I didn't think he was available in this pack. Is this a bug, or just a hidden bonus?

  • The token includes all the characters who are powered up in this event, even the guys who are rotating. Psylocke is the current major buffed character for this round, for example, but there are others that will be buffed too, like Thor 3*, so he's eligible to show up.

    Yeah, I'm right there with ya. Except it was a red Ares and a Captain America.

    Did pull a red IM40 from a standard. Too bad that's one of the handful of 3* covers I don't actually need.

    Got invisible woman and wolverine, but I hate the fact that I need psylock to play, why don`t they offer these cover to buy, say 500 hp or something like a one time deal only per palyer, pisses me off that I can`t complete the stages without psylock.......

    Oh. That makes sense. Thanks! Didn't this was a rotating buff schedule.

    A psylocke-winning toutnament ended just hour ago. And guaranteed *** covers were never available at 500, best shot was the 10-packs at 2700, I'm sure P had such. But it is considered tinikitty deal.

    Last sim event I recall these highly trained tokens worked well for me, and I hope for the same now. I definitely would be glad to pull a red LazyThor like in the first post. icon_e_smile.gif

    I've gotten a purple DD and blue BP from the progression tokens. So safe to assume (even if obvious) that those characters will be buffed/required at some point.

    DD is permanently buffed in this event. BP will be buffed on one of the days (all characters that were buffed during the opening two fights will be buffed on a different day: Psylocke, Doom, LazyThor, BP).

    From the main Simulator thread:

    The Powered Up! list of characters is: Bullseye, MHawkeye, 2* Wolvie, Ares, Hood and Daredevil, and a different 3 star Character every round.

    The rotating 3* characters are: Doom, Psylocke, LazyThor, BP.

    Therefore, the Highly Trained tokens can contain any of those characters.

    Based on earlier event tokens (and guessing), the relative percentages of pulling various covers might look like this:

    Bullseye - 16.5%
    MHawkeye - 16.5%
    2* Wolvie - 16.5%
    Ares - 16.5%
    Hood - 5.5%
    Daredevil - 5.5%
    Doom - 5.5%
    Psylocke - 5.5%
    3* Thor - 5.5%
    Black Panther - 5.5%
    X-Force - 0.5%
    Invisible Woman - 0.5%

    I actually really love these tokens, because only 2* Wolvie and red/purple MHawkeye are a complete bust for me. I need one more blue MHawkeye and one more black Doom, and then those covers are vendor-bait, but anything else will get trained.

    Edit: THE ABOVE NUMBERS ARE GUESSING! I was taking the base rates from the previous token, but if my guess is wrong, I probably put the 3* chances too high.

    Edit 2: If pasa_ is correct, and the usual overall 2*/3* split is 5:1, then the rates would look more like this:

    Bullseye, MHawkeye, 2* Wolvie, Ares - 21.7% each
    Hood, Daredevil, Doom, Psylocke, 3* Thor, BP - 2.1% each
    X-Force, IW - 0.3% each

    AGAIN, GUESSING! I hope the higher numbers for 3* are closer to right, but unless IceIX wants to give us actual numbers again, getting enough non-skewed data from forum reports is going to be next to impossible to generate actual percentages. Sorry about any confusion; I do not have secret access to d3 numbers!
  • Thanks for the breakdown Vairelome
  • really we have 1/3 chance for a *** from this token compared to the usual 1/6 of other gold tokens? That sounds darn amazing.

    I was actually excited to see a purple Bullseye as the 10k progression reward, since I only needed one more purple to get to 5/5.

    So... what do I pull out of the first two Highly Trained tokens on my way to 10k? 2x Purple Bullseye. Tinykitty!!
  • With 16% chance I've got two same Wolverine ** covers, then next two Wolverine ** covers from next 2 standard tokens and the last standard token gave me green grey suited widow. Unfortunately these progression tokens do not usually work for me, the best covers I've got were from standard tokens...

    Here is previous token data (https://api.demiurgeserver0.net/drop_table/unstoppable/). There is 1/7 chance at 3* and 6/7 chance at 2* from the 1-pack.

    Just FYI - I got Yellow Hood today from this token.

    Ares red and AWolv yellow. One useful, one not. Not too bad, I suppose, but hoping for an LThor pull. icon_e_biggrin.gif
