    Got Punisher on first pull.

    Nova: Skipped
    Iron Man: Got on the 2nd 50 pull
    Gwenpool: Didn't get with 2 50 tries, not all that upset though.
    Thor: Didn't get despite 4 tries (2 50, 2 400)
    Ant-Man: Didn't get on the first 50, bit the bullet and paid the 3600
    Punisher: Got on 1st 50 pull.

    So in total out of 6 days:
    Spent - 4800 HP
    Items pulled - 30
    Number of 4* covers - 3
    Avg cost per 4* cover - 1600

    So far I'm really digging these. There are still improvements that need to be made, but these are the best of the 3 tests IMO.

    Kinda bummed, I thought I'd clear out at least one of these vaults. 5 days of 50 hp token for a 2* character. Excited to see Punisher Max come up then scroll to the vault and see that it's blue so I'm still stuck at 3/4/5. Last day sounds like Kate Bishop to me and she's 0/2/5 so really no benefit to clearing a vault there either. At least hero points never expire so there are still the weekly vaults. One I need will come around at some point.

    Edit: Punisher is 3/4/5, not 2/4/5 - could have been my 13th cover if it was not blue.

    I spent nothing but the initial 50 Hp and have gotten nothing but 2 stars.

    Not great not horrible but just kinda there.

    not spending the other amounts and 1 color of 1 4 star per vaults is kinda tired.

    Same boat, as is an alliance mate. This was the one I said I would definitely spend HP on, and at 4/2/5 its no good to me either. My Kate is 3/3/5, so if the 3rd power trend continues tomorrow, I’ve no luck there either. Oh, well, I’ve got the HP saved anyway, we’ll see what the Holiday/Mad Titan/Galactus vaults will look like when that shakes out later this week.

    My Ant-Man is at 0/5/5, and of course the vault offered Blue instead of Purple - would have drained 3600 HP to finally get purple started.
    I understand the intended randomness, but wouldn't D3 make more $ if the system looked to see which covers you would want more?

    Separately, Thoress was at 1/4/4 and I missed her red on the 50 HP try. While contemplating for a while about doing more, one of my lucky sons did a LT draw and hit that very cover. Then somehow I got busy and missed running the vault before it was gone...

    What are these "2nd 50 pulls" you speak of? I've never seen anything other than, you get 1 pull at 50 then it turns to 400.

    Timing. For me the vaults go live in the evening (don't know when - 8pm?) and you pull the first one right away. All "daily deals" reset at midnight, so you can get another for 50. The catch is that doing so eliminates the 20x option, so if you might want to clear the vault you better not pull that second 50.

    In short: You can pull daily deal each calendar day for each vault.

    Unless, I think, you're on EST. I was up until midnight last night, and the vault cycled at the same time the Daily Deal reappeared. Meh, I'll take the different vault each day, that's fine.

    Correct. The first day let me buy a second token because it was centered at 7am like the previous vaults. I think the second vault was the shift happened to midnight EST.

    I love these, and would be just fine if they continued them every day forever.

    I think these are a welcome addition. For veteran players 50HP is very cheap for a decent shot at a 4* cover, plus the minimum prize in the vault is a 2* cover which is helpful for farming if nothing else.
    Plus, these vaults create a path to get a guaranteed 4* cover in a specific color that did not really exist before (yes, it's only one cover per day and that route can get expensive, but at least it's there).

    But these vaults are a holiday special only - plus they get some more "player data" in buying stats. Who knows what the next vault will be like, but AT LEAST they have 4* 20+ item vaults.

    I've mostly ignored these Vaults because of limited usefulness besides the 4-Star
    The Last one (Kate Bishop I suspect) might get me if it's not the Blue Power (maxxed)

    I'm in EST and I've done it since the shift. You have to be quick and be on there right at midnight. You've got like a 30 - 60 to claim. What I've been doing is going in at like 1158 and just flip back and forth and grab the daily deal the second it pops up then the vault disappears about 30 seconds later. I've done this multiple days now.

    I pulled Big Pun from the 50 HP token! So that's fine with me.

    So meh on the results but I'm earning enough HP that I'm still gaining on the roster slot fund.

    4hor: 3* Human Torch, 2* Ms. Marvel
    Ant-Man: 1000 iso, 2* Thor

    Big Pun: 3* Daken, Ares
    Kate Bishop: 2* Cap, Kate Bishop Blue!

    So for 600 HP:

    1 4-star
    2 3-star champ levels (3 CP for Torch, 3 CP for Daken who both reached 191)
    5 2-star champ levels (not sure of rewards because of LR drops)
    1 Ms. Marvel (recently harvested my Ms. Marvel so its just a seed cover)
    3500 iso
    Elite Token

    It's a lotto pull. I've yet to get anything worthwhile out of them, but for 50 HP I'm willing to buy a ticket.

    I don't have the HP to pull the whole vault, and singles are a total ripoff, so I stop at the lotto ticket.
