Time to drop the hoard?

I switched from using CP on Classics to Latests right after Peter Parker left Latests because I had fully covered Silver Surfer and did not want him to be my first 5* champion and because I was not ready to move to the 5* transistion. Since then I have managed to fully cover Daredevil, Gambit, Thor, Archangel and accidently Phoenix (a dupe Gambit cover I had to sell for a customer service swap netted my my 13th Phoenix cover.
I have stopped pulling until Archangel leaves latest and should have a mini-hoard of about 50 pulls when Captain America replaces AA.
I'm at 59 4* champions now so I'll be ready to start champing 5*s soon. When I do I'll have at least 6 to champ right off the bat and maybe the transition won't be too painful.

I pull my latest every 6 weeks typically 110-120 pulls that is latest and CP. I have found GR a really good pairing with 1/2 health Thor because GR tanks for Thor which is rare and exceptional. I also have AA championed and feel he is a really good 3rd to go along with Gambit and Thor. The reason why is he had blue and black active abilities. If I were to choose between cap and AA I would actually go AA and go after more JJ. If you are waiting for GR to leave you are betting Iron spider is better than GR. This may end up to be the case my fear with Iron spider is what will his power color be Red, yellow, (blank). I personally will be gopulling when cap goes into packs because I can’t stand hoarding that long.0

Another spider in 5* tier would be just stupid. Not to mention that all are technically Peter Parker.3

Obviously, the potential for him to perma-stun teams with another 5* web slinger would have to be looked at carefully but I would love to see a 5* Scarlet Spider (either version) or Spider-Man 2099 some time down the road (not necessarily anytime soon, however).1 -

Also have a max-covered (with no iso) DD, Gambit, Thor, Goblin.
I actually could use some advice myself. Currently sitting on 180 pulls
Angel is (5/3/3)
Ghost Rider is (2/3/3)
Jessica is (1/3/2)
Captain America is (0/0/0)
Jessica is the only one I really want. Rider would be second I guess but the color overlap with other characters makes him less desirable. I think Angel and Cap are trash. Cap’s yellow is situational at best, it’s expensive and you’d still use a healthpack anyway. It’s WAY better as a team up. His purple is cool but I don’t tend to play that defensively as I prefer offensive characters. His red is an amazing 1-shot nuke, but involves your characters dying. I don’t care that he overlaps with Gambit as I think that nerf is coming sooner rather than later. I just don’t like his kit.
Option 1:
Since I’m so close to covering Angel and think Rider is the second best of the four I could say “why not get my 5th max-covered 5 in Angel, stop pulling after I get him maxed, wait for Cap to enter, and pull until I get one of him for essentials, and at that point reassess based on where my Jess/Robbie are. In this scenario I likely cover Rider/Angel/Jess and skip cap who I’m not high on.
Option 2:
Say, the feeders can finish Angel (knowing I’ll eat the first cover as I have 5 there already). Say Robbie isn’t that good, and I can let him fall into obscurity. Pull for a single Cap when he enters Latests, and hoard until we see what Spidey looks like. I’m predicting power creepy goodness to make him more desireable than the other two in the tier. Plus I like the character and since my other two Parkers are pitiful I’ll probanly want him. In this scenario I’ll cover Jess, stop when she’s maxed and wait for Cap to leave (so he’ll be like Rider/Angel... half or most the way there) and then pull for Iron Spider and the next two.
I know this is long but I really appreciate any thoughts people have!

I know this is long but I really appreciate any thoughts people have!If you have a fully covered GladiaThor I don't see you using Ghost Rider much, really - Thor is just so good. I suppose Rider could use his black at least, but if all you want is an Active black then Jessica Jones might be a better choice.
You seem to be misreading Captain Lumberjack's red Power though, it doesn't rely on your characters dying, it just goes into overdrive when there is only one opponent left. It's basically the same as Riri Williams' red Power - either damage to enemies not in front or more damage to the last enemy remaining. I also like his potential synergy with Daredevil - have DD tank, and if things go South and DD gets KOed Cap can bring him back and have him start healing up again. Not a top tier combo, but it could be fun at least.
I also don't know if we will get a feeder for Archangel any time soon, Gambit and Thor are still waiting for their fourstar feeders. They seem to be more focused on giving older fivestars feeders right now. On the other hand, not having Archangel fully covered may not be the end of the World.
If you really aren't interested in Archangel and Think he is well covered enough, it is probably better to hoard for now. Any covers you get for Archangel or Robbie right now is a cover you won't get for Captain Lumberjack or Iron Spider down the line. Cap may be a wash, but if you like Iron Spider maybe you can stop busting the hoard once you are content with your Jessica Jones...

Thanks Quebb. I think that’s exactly what I’m going to do. While it may be forever until I get an Angel feeder it may be forever x2 to get any significant iso for him so no rush there. I’m still not sure I want to ever take the 5* leap. I definitely have the toons to, and will keep max-covering the interesting ones in case I ever do, but I’m still grinding to finish the 4s and rechamped the 3s while keeping my original 266s.0

I'm hoarding and currently have 125 LT pulls available through tokens and CP. I really want to get Jessica and will most likely wind up popping the hoard sometime after Iron Spider (or whoever takes Robbie Reyes' spot) is introduced to tokens. I've never hoarded before, so my question is about how much ISO should I have on hand before going in?0

Thanks for the advice. Very helpful!0

Is it even worth jumping to 5* land without a Gambit?
Mine is 2/3/1.
I have most 4* champed and my 5* are unlevelled (except 12 cover OML at lvl 365). My most covered 5* are OML and IM46 at 12 covers, then Hawkeye and DD have 10 each.
Logically it seems to be time to transition to 5* land but I'm worried I will get killed. I do pvp to 575 usually and pve to progression in scl8.0 -

I wonder if I've been getting lucky with my pulls? I don't play as much as almost everyone who posts on one of these threads. I always play PvE, usually top 50 in SCL8 but I don't play much PvP, the last couple of seasons not even to 4k for the ten pack although it looks like I'll get there this season.
My Ghost Rider only has 8 covers, when Captain America enters tokens I should have a hoard of around 50 to spend right away. I guess I'll find out if there's enough time sometime within the next 6 weeks or so. If I don't finish Ghost Rider he'll at least be close I imagine.
I'm getting very close to being finished with 4*s pretty much too, seven to go right now with three of them cover maxxed, Duck will be champed within the week. I'm hopeful that by the time the next 5* is introduced I will be as done as I can be with the 4* tier and able to start pouring Iso into my 5*s and champing as I go.

Ok so I'm thinking if Iron Spider is the next 5-star release (and it's looking like he will be) the hoard must continue. Let Chrome Rider fall out and try for my favorite character (Spidey), JJ, and BeardCap to be my first fully-covered 5-stars.

I did! I blew through about 600 CP trying to get her 13 cover.0
