This means I could pull up to five more covers for each of those characters without feeling the iso crunch to level them and save the covers: those champ levels will be waiting for me when I get the iso.Maybe this will just mean that 18 covers becomes the new anxiety point, but at this point it seems like a win. Wrong. You can only save unusable covers. If your character is at 13 covers then nothing is considered "unusable" since you can champ the character and use the covers.

Or can I do this if I pull yellow covers when she is still under leveled since I will only have 3 yellow covers. @Brigby, can you clarify? nope cant do

Thanos said: I'm surprised nobody asked this but how long can you save the covers for? Also, 5 to 1 is complete garbage, disappointing but expected i suppose.
Unlevelled 5/5/3. Get cover of colour 3, can't use it, can't save it, don't sell it. Within 2 weeks of getting cover 1, get second cover of colour 3, can't use it, can't save it, don't sell it. Within 2 weeks of getting cover 1, get third cover of colour 3, aha, can do something. Make the character 4/4/5, now you can save the latest cover.
Keeping it 4/4/5 means you only have to waste one cover respeccing the character before you can save another.
So there is a kind of workaround, I guess, if you don't mind exchanging ISO for XP.
pfarewell said: They dropped the ball again. Why not make covers switchable with the expenditure of hero or command points at a reasonable rate. It's easy and could still produce income for d3/demiurge. 5:1 ratio for 5* covers? It seems like it's the same level of bad as spending 720 cp for a single cover.
PenniesForEveryone said: Great change, but why limit the number of saved covers to 5? If I can add 100 champ levels, let me save up to 100 covers. Forcing someone that's already got 5 saved covers to throw them away to be able to save a 6th is really kicking them after RNGesus has beaten them down.
HoundofShadow said: Not a surprise that players in this forum can turn anything into a negative. Before this change:1) You will be selling unusable 4* covers for 1000 iso-8, 5* covers for 2000 iso-8 after 14 days.2) You have to pay 120cp to get additional power that has been activated for a 4*, and 720cp for a 5*.3) once in a while, you might be able to purchase 5* covers at either 250cp or 500cp.After this change:1) You will be able to store up to 5 unusable covers indefinitely (If I interpret it correctly).2) you will be able to convert 5 unusable covers into a usable one. This means that you can activate a power with zero cover, which can't be done with a 120cp or 720cp purchase of power. 3) Cost of completing a 13 covers 5* dropped significantly from 250/500/720 to 120/125cp for each cover that doesn't lead to a 13/13. Or the cost can be calculated as number of 6th cover and beyond that you have * 20 or 25cp.4) 5 unusable covers cost not more than 125cp. We have not factored in unusable 4* covers from non-Legendary Comic Stores that are pulled. That extra 5cp would probably be an power activation cost for 4*
