At the moment I have 7 covers for OML (2/4/1)

I have 2 options to invest all of my 2500CP.

1. pull some more covers for OML : need 6 more covers to max him
(very difficult to pull him nowaday I think)

2. pull new 5* hero. whos out with special Token like a 5* black widow.
(hopefully can reach to almost full cover)

I guess Dr Strange will out with special Token

still cannot decide yet.

    I feel like this is too roster-dependent to make a call without more information.

    Do you have all the 4*s you want? Can you roster more 4*s if you use your CP for pulls? Are you even interested in 4*s? If you use your CP for tokens, do you have a plan for 4* covers you will get for 4*s you don't have champed but want to champ at some point?

    If your goal is to max-cover OML, 2500 CP probably isn't going to do the trick on tokens alone. At a 15% pull rate, you will get ideally ~19 5* pulls from 125 tokens. Chances those are all going to be OML covers you need? I'm not going to try to calculate it, but I would guess not good.

    Still, I think we need more info to make a better call.

    if you're asking what i would do, it'd be pull 125 classics. but that's not necessarily what you should do, which is what you're really asking, right?

    I am not sure the super whales direct but a 5* unless it was their 13th and had a couple covers going to waste. For classic tokens that is 125 pulls and should get you a ton of 4* and 5*. If you pull at the 25% rate they would be 18.75 5*. The real question would be do you have enough ISO to champion the 4* you pull or do you have the Hp to roster the characters you are misssig that you might get. If you go for Dr strange at a 15% drop rate you at a cost of 30CP you would have 83 pulls and get 12.5 5* at a 15% drop rate.

    Your roster ISO and HP should be making the choices for you.
  • We need more information before we can answer. It depends on your roster and how many latest tokens you have. I will say this though: don't be singularly focused on OML. SS, pheonix, IM, BSS, GG and Bolt are all very good to great. Getting a max champion of any of them will change your roster significantly.

    Save until you've got 5000 CP and then post again. Your OML "problem" might be solved by then.
  • you dont mention how much iso you have banked. iso is the biggest limiting factor, not covers. you could have 1m iso and it would disappear leveling three characters or less.

    still without more information id be inclined to at least crack 50 classics and see what happens.

    buy the 2 remaining yellow covers i need for OML

    but that's just me. because yellow has been avoiding me like the plague

    but I would definitely grab 125 classic legends, should be a much better deal. Or wait for Dr. Strange then decide

    I'd put it on my bed and roll around naked in it for a while like they did with the money in Indecent Proposal.

    As everyone said this is very roster depedent. But let me offer you this point of view.

    Dr. strange will have a special vault room like the "red room". There your 2500cp is enough to max out Dr. Strange. Don't forget about the 5* cover replacement policy. They will allow you to exchange useless 5* covers only from the Latest legends pack. So this "strange vault" and the latest legacy packs are the only ones where you can make pulls without risk of duplicating a 5* cover.

    If I was committed to dr. strange. I would spend the cp in that vault first, then the latest legend pack and then finally the classic pack. I would also do this if your classic 5* are all in the 4-10 cover range. The dilution in classic 5* is real. and until the devs address this by splitting up packs your really hurting your ability to power through the hump phase of 5* char.

    If you go with just classic pulls you run the very real risk of pulling unsuable 5* covers. I would only risk this to complete full color coverage or trying to finish off a 10 cover 5*.

    As a final thought, while everyone talks about OML and PHX as the whole grail combo, but the 5* tier is pretty balanced.

    Both your goals are equally reasonable and valid and it just depends on where you are in the transition and what other tools you have to work with.

    I actually have almost 2500 CP. I'm probably going to keep saving at least until the next 5* is announced. If the next 5* looks to be Cap levels of terribad I might go ahead and cash in all my LTs and CP for a shot at Strange/BB, but if the next 5* looks to be pretty good, then I will keep saving until the 5* after that is announced and then decide if I want that 5* or BW.

    My roster for reference.

    Keep in mind that Bolt will leave latest before Black Widow.

    Is this "policy" or "wink wink anecdotal someone wrote into CS and they did it for them on a one-time basis, but don't let this get out into the community bc we'll have to stop doing it"?

    If this is standard practice, then why wouldn't you just hoard CP in the 1000's (easy enough with buy clubs) and pull latest legendaries until you max covered the newbie 5*s by exchanging useless dupes? Wouldn't this be the clear path to 5*progression? Why mess with RNG if you don't have to? I could see a one-time deal, but this seems advantageously game changing for those who can afford to pay to play.

    As mentioned, this is very roster-independent. I'm actually sitting on considerably more than this, and I'm going to cash most (all? not sure) when Strange moves into latests (I want Strange, but also Nat and Bolt).

    What I'd think about is this. In latests, 2500cp should get you something like five covers of each character. In classics, it should get you 2-3 of each. The question is, which of those would help you more? (Of course, if RNGesus hates you, you're hosed either way. icon_e_sad.gif )

    Wait for special strange that has a 10% chance for one 5 star. With 2500 cp theoretically you should be able to champion him and still have some left over.

    What I would do? Wait for it then use to buy 20CP covers. A lot of them.

    2500 is only 100 pulls. That's probably only ten covers. A lot better than two or five, but not enough to champion.
