Hey just a quick check with you guys, did you see a decrease in bonus covers lately?
I haven't had a single one in the past 2 weeks!
Not a 3* not a 4* (never seen a 5* anyway)
I do open a lot of packs since I do every pve/pvp/dpd and so on..
But lately I barely get 3* covers at all and bonus roll simply disappeared its getting frustrating..
How is it for you?

    5%, or 1 in 20, is still not a great chance of getting a bonus hero. You may just be unlucky. I've had a couple of bonus heroes this week (from 3-star pulls).

    Just got one from a standard token. They are there, just normal RNG.

    Standard tokens give a bonus hero every time.

    I noticed over the last month that Heroics seemed to be coughing up more bonus heroes than Elites but it is probably just an RNG streak.

    Ah well just terrible luck I guess then, might eventually turn around, thanks!
    Btw just to make sure, you can't bonus roll a cover from another level right? Like a bonus 4* out of a 3* pull or vice versa right?
    Thanks!

    As far as I’m aware, we can’t get a bonus hero from Elite tokens. If we look at the odds page, there’s no mention of the bonus hero odds.
    Really? I could of sworn I have in the past. Maybe I'm confused, Lol!

    Correct.  A 4 pull will only pull a 4 bonus, 3 a 3, 5 a 5.

    There may be no mention of it, but we definitely can get bonus heroes from Elite tokens. I track all my bonus heroes, so can state that with certainty.

    I thought you could, good to know I'm not completely losing the plot.

    Heroics have been pretty kind to me generally recently, I got 5 4* (all with a bonus hero) just this last month, so RNGesus isn't all bad.

    Yeah, you can definitely get bonus covers from Elites. Only on Three-star pulls of course, so if you don't get many gold covers that way you don't have much chance for bonus covers either.

    I usually average 3 - 5 a week for 3* and maybe one 4* every couple weeks or so.  I've been using BH to max champ all my 3*, just switch the BH over to whoever is closest to maxing.  I've maxed like 10 of them this way and am close to finishing off Doc Ock

    As with all RNG, there are streaks. I got two bonus 4* covers in recent weeks, but before that I may have gone as long as three months without pulling one (this was despite on average pulling 1-2 LTs / 20 CP pulls a day. I don't keep records, but I believe my 3* bonus hero pulls are often slightly above average. My 5* bonus hero pulls are consistently around average.

    Every couple of months one of these threads show up asking of BHs have been nerfed. It's just RNG treating you bad. Next week you'll get two bonus 5-stars. The universe has a way of making it up to all of us.

    I think they exchanged the bonus rate from my HT to my ET. I was opening ~ 15 ET and getting 3* 70-80% of the time and got 1-3 bonus. As for HT I was getting 90% 2*.  :open_mouth:
