Old 4*s?

hawkeyeguy99

Maybe this has already been asked multiple times, but how in the world am I supposed to get old 4* character covers? I am a "hardly ever pays for anything" player but have been playing for almost 3 years now and have a solid 3* roster and am trying to make the 4* transistion. Problem is however is I currently have no good way to get covers for my 3 highest level 4*s: Wolvy, Star Lord, and Falcon. 120 command points for one cover is no where close to worth it and there's no viable way to get them as they aren't really rewards for anything anymore. I am definitely not about to drop $50 on enough HPs to get 1 cover out of a social vault. Maybe you all can help, how the heck am I supposed to get those covers?

Well make star lord your bo us hero and hope to pull him and accept that you will be focusing on newer ones like carol medusa coulson and blade.

Select them as Bonus heroes. The devs are convinced that's a viable option to max covering the 'old' 4*s after vaulting. 

Progression and placement rewards, deadpool daily, vintage heroic tokens, and their newest feature: Heroes for Hire.

This is the most frequent player complaint about vaulting as introduced with bonus heroes.

Until and unless demi makes some move to fix this problem, the best we can do is grind for prog covers when possible and set 1 or 2 treasured 4*s as bonus heroes (more than 2 and you end up with even worse odds than before vaulting!).

Keep reminding the devs that we want a real solution until they give us one that's affordable. Muddle through with bonus heroes or stop pulling legendaries until they do so. Definitely do not spend money on vintage heroics or heroes for hire if you don't consider them real solutions.

Also hope they don't nerf the best current 4*s for being "overused" like they did with OML, and if they do, remind the devs that those characters wouldn't be overused if we had more choices.

Give up on Wolverine and Craptain.  They're not worth the effort it takes to cover them at this point.  Heart Star-Lord and you'll get him covered faster than you would have before, and you can be happy that you don't have to worry about covering low-tier characters that would have made your game harder instead of easier.  Also, you can be happy that your situation actually has a solution that makes your game experience better, overall, compared to pre-vaulting.  For some players, that's less true.

How is this a huge dilemma?
Grind or pay, its not rocket science.

We have bigger worries, like Trump in the Whitehouse & global warming, than how you can max an old 4*.
Ive got a ton of roster sitting at 1 cover.  

So what?
If you ain't paying, you should thank​ your lucky stars for a great free game, and grind on.

The pool has better 4*s than those 3. Star Lord might be the only one I would make an exception for, but it wouldn't be a high priority

The CP comes easier than you think if you save it up. So far I've bought covers for captain marvel and Peggy carter.  Both were well worth it. If you don't wanna buy them, like some others said, make one of them a favourite at a time

The answer is-- you're not supposed to. It's now clear they put the brakes on old 4*'s for various reasons including slowing down champ rewards. I have 31 champ 4*'s and a full 3* champ roster approaching 266 (in 5* transition). Just with 3* champs, rewards are flowing. I imagine if they hadn't vaulted old 4*'s, players in my situation would be raking in resources at a surplus rate which hurts their wallets= unacceptable. 

The new system allows you to champ new 4*'s faster, champ levels faster, give rewards faster. So as you hastily champ the new chars, the vaulted 4*'s you pick as BH's will slooooooowly climb too. Eventually the new 4* champs will surpass your old 4* champs... most def sooner than later. Essentially you'll be in the same champ rewards position, just with different chars.

And if luck be a lady,  you will win enough vaulted chars from progress/ placement/ vaults/ bh's to keep that reward train rolling... all be it slowly.
