Opened my hoard for Hawkeye

xidragonxi

Quick backstory: I'm a 5* transitioner, with Phoenix at level 450 and OML at level 420. I have 34 championed 4*s. I've been hoarding and since late November with the hope of pulling from a 5* release character store and covering one new 5* in one shot. With Hawkeye coming out and his kit looking like a lot of fun, I decided to go for it. I opened around 2300 CP worth of "Bag of Tricks" tokens, and here are the results.

Note: I did this in the brief window when Bonus Heroes had better odds, and before Coulson and Mordo replaced Moon Knight and Kate Bishop. I have Old Man Logan set as my only bonus 5* because I'm close to finishing him. I have all of the older 4*s who I have championed set as bonus heroes so I can add champ levels to them.

Summary: Opened 94 Bag of Tricks, and got 9 Hawkeyes (a little under 10%), plus I got 10 bonus heroes (11% rate). Two of the bonus heroes were Old Man Logans -- but I could only use the red one. Ended up with a 2/3/4 Hawkeye who is already a LOT of fun to play around with, especially with Wasp, Starlord, Carol, Medusa, IM40, Peggy, etc. Now I have a few months while Hawkeye works his way through Latest Legends to get the last 4 covers. Very exciting! Hoarding works!

Sounds like all that waiting was worth it for you. Happy for you, mate! Enjoy!

Great to see you've had better luck with your hoard. Pulled half the amount I did and gotten 2 more bonus heroes at 5* than I

If I have more than 20 CP for more than 5 Minutes that's my definition of Willpower
so bravo to you for not being as spineless as me

Does anyone have any insight into this? I recalled seeing this in the info on the store, saved up until I got 25 CP, and then realized right after my pull that this info was gone. I was concerned I'd imagined it until I read this.

Was the window announced anywhere? How long did it exist? Will it exist again?

i got around 500 cp no reason to spend it cause i doubt i get any 5 stars and am WAY too low in ISO to max out 4s (though they all got 13 covers..

I used to hold 120CP for emergency "I just need one more cover before this expires!" situations and then spent every 20CP afterwards.
Now though I'm just going to hoard. I have several 13-cover 4*s in that current vault and not enough ISO to champ them all if I get a 14th cover for them. So I'm just going to hoard everything until my ISO demands settle down (sold some maxed 2*s and will need ISO to re-champ them, too.)

I've never felt quite so ISO starved as I do right now...

Back when the Bag of Tricks tokens were available, I ended up with a 10-cover Hawkeye after spending all of my saved CP. Now that he's in the Latest Legends tokens, I opened my hoard of tokens, and dipped into my mini-hoard of CP. Here are the results:

Started with:
0/0/0 Black Panther
0/0/1 Thanos
2/4/4 Hawkeye

I pulled:
6 Thanos covers (4 green, 2 purple) -- I asked CS to swap a green for a black, just because.
4 Black Panther covers (3 yellow, 1 red)
3 Hawkeye covers (1 purple, 2 red) -- I just sent an email to Customer Service requesting they swap one of the reds for a purple, and he's gonna be covered when they fulfill that.

Now I've got:
0/3/1 Black Panther
0/2/4 Thanos
3/4/6 Hawkeye

Here are the 4*s I pulled if anyone's interested. I opened 90 total tokens, 13 of which were 5*s (14.4%). Of the 77 4*s, I got 4 bonus heroes (5.2%), so everything was right around expected odds. I guess that's nice? Also roughly 2/3 of the covers were usable.

spiderwoman 11
mordo 10
captainmarvel 8
riri 7
wasp 7
agentvenom 6
powerman 6
coulson 5
gwenpool 5
medusa 5
peggy 5
blade 3
captain falcon 1
cyclops 1
nickfury 1

I was able to use the champ levels for Power Man, Wasp, Peggy, Capt. Marvel, and Spider-Woman. I've already sold off my excess Riri and Mordo covers because I'm not going to use them any time soon. Next move is to champ Medusa, then decide if I want to champ one of the other 4*s (Blade?), wait for Coulson to be finished (stuck on 1/5/5) or move on to leveling Hawkeye!!

Yay, hoarding! Glad to hear it's worked out for you.
