So if I spend 20CP on a classic legend and get say Medusa/Peggy I will THEN get Hulkbuster or Iceman? That's my understanding... yes... 5% chance at Hulkbuster or Iceman.

Does making a 3* character(s) a favorite hurt my odds of getting that favorited 4* when I open a Heroic token? The way they worded it, my interpretation is that the tiers are independent.

Players should have known about this change at least a week in advance. When you open a latest legends and get a bonus cover, if you open a 4* character you'll get your 4* favourite (or among them, if you've chosen more than one). If you open a 5*, you're get your 5* favourite (or among them, if you've chosen more than one). If you haven't chosen a favourite for that tier level, you'll get a random cover of that tier. Then the in-game odds page is completely misleading.

That's not a terrible goal honestly, since a big gripe is how irrelevant new releases are currently.

I mean fair enough, I don't know if anyone ever said spending 500 ISO a pop for the chance of a 3* was a great idea. I mean sure, getting a 3* from a standard now means you get two 3*s, but whaling on standards is not the way to go.

Then the in-game odds page is completely misleading. I believe what it's attemping to show you is your odds of getting a bonus character, along with what characters you've chosen that are possible to get. On the legendary pages it doesn't show 3*s, for instance, because you can't get those from opening a legendary token. The odds shown are the odds to get something from the indicated pool. Not the odds of getting each item in that pool. The odds of each item in that pool are also not guaranteed to be the same; if you look at the Krakadoom! store, you'll see that there is a 1 in 4 odds of getting a 3*, and it shows you which ones you could get. Of those, Rags is highlighted (because he's featured) so he has higher odds of being picked compared to the other 20. There's still only a 1/4 chance of getting a 3*, though.

Pull a 3* from a standard, you will always get a 3* bonus! Wheeee! Something to look forward to .... from every 70th standard or so Presumably, this is why standards are no longer purchasable. Gods forbid a player should whale up 3*s with iso

bigsmooth wrote: Keep in mind that you have a 5% chance to get a "bonus" 4* from all non-vault tokens. So if you need to cover someone like Iceman, set him as your only 4* favorite, and you have a 5% chance of getting a bonus Iceman cover any time you pull a 4* from a Legendary, PLUS you'll get a chance at a bonus cover if you happen to pull a 4* from a Heroic token or a PVP/PVE event token. Now, the odds aren't great on pulling a 4* from anything below a Legendary token, but it still helps.
