Sorry if this has been asked before, but I was wondering if there was any way to see what the upcoming special character vaults are? (the first one being XF Deadpool and the second one being Flaptain). I would like to know so it can help me plan on potential four-stars to plan on championing next. Have they posted it anywhere? Thanks

    they've never posted that info before, but this seems like a Brigby type issue. Maybe this is something he can implement like the sneak peak

    Nothing has been communicated as far as I know, the best theory I've seen is now that cupcakes are dead they've seen a steep decline in people spending HP as they aren't buying as many shields so they are giving these to entice us to spend. I haven't had any interest and there's really only 3 of this type of vault I'd spend on, Peggy of any color, Iceman of any color but blue and Red Hulk of any color but purple. I'm patient enough to resist the rest. I've been wasting a ton of HP on daily 100hp vault deals and I'm going to hoard up enough to get something good this time like a 40 pack or a completes clear out of an 80 item vault, something like that.

    When I look at this it's 3000 HP for a needed 4* (used to be 2500 and I have used it once or twice). While doing I would get 3500 ISO, 3 3* covers that will net me extra rewards and 14 2* that will net me rewards. So net value of this vault is much better than it used to be. In this regard I hope they will keep doing the vaults and I would appreciate the plan of who will be there next (or preferably some insight into the future - next 4 vaults or something like that).

    The downside - it's one per very long time so I will have to wait for the cover I desire a while. Plus where we are - there is only one cover in the game I would be willing to spend the 2500-3000 HP on. What are my chances it's going to be the desired one in any of the next vaults? Slim to none? 1 in 123? Each vault open for 7 days? So in 861 days I am guaranteed to get the cover I need? I guess RNG will give it to me much sooner (or I will spend 120 CP when I have the ISO and the character is boosted to benefit the most).

    2500 HP was incredibly expensive lol and that was when 4's were the best thing in game.

    It's not worth it for 1 cover of 1 of 40 4 stars.

    These are garbage as they exist currently IMO.

    Easy fixes to make these vaults worth it:
    1. Remove most or all of the 2* characters and replace with decent amount of ISO, maybe 1000. LTs and HTs are already purchasable for getting 2*. The people likely to be opening these vaults don't really need 2*, make is so the consolation prize is at least more usable.
    2. Have 1-3 HP token worth the same or slightly more than opening a single slot so you have a chance and at getting a redo.
    3. Allow a reset button to reset the color of the cover but not the character. (reset button locks out after the 4* token is gained to prevent whaling)

    Unless that one cover is for Peggy Carter. My 2/3/5 Peggy needs more red and yellow, and I will definitely spend HP on that.

    Must be nice. I can barely keep up with 1000 HP for every new character.

    This is exactly my point. I need one Peggy cover to max cover her. If the vault is that I will buy it (one by one to give RNG a chance at a discount). One other could be Quake who also needs one cover to get it to max. I would not spend that much HP on any other 4* cover in game. So I can picture the circumstances when such a vault is good. For me it would not work - but for people who miss Jean or Ice or Peggy or Hulkbuster - why not. For a top tier 4 to finish it it's better to use HP than CP.
