Lets start seeing them pick older 4*s who many people will have well into the 300's. Not sure how popularity of the character factors in, except for BH. RNG is RNG. If you got more of a bad character that bad character is probably higher level... It's not like there's a whole lot of choice in who you go with (at least not till the saved cover feature). My point being he's going to be one of the 4*s you champ last. I'm sure theres many Bucky covers that were sold over the time he's been available compared to a lot of the more popular 4*s. Champ last only applies in a situation where you have multiple characters ready to champ and not enough ISO. If RNG gave you bucky as your first 13 cover long before anyone else, you probably champed him. Some players might continue to burn cover after cover waiting on someone better, but from my experience most try and avoid cover waste and would champ them when they get a 14th even if aren't great, but mileage my vary. Point is you're applying your playstyle onto if and how many covers you expect a character to have, but in general regardless of playstyle a character who has been out longer is more likely to have more covers simply based on a longer opportunity to gain.

I would bet a lot of money on Bucky not being many peoples first champed 4*. I'd bet he isn't even in many peoples first 10 champed 4*s. Its nothing to do with my play style, its purely down to the fact he's very poor and that ISO is so short in this game. People are more likely to want to sell his covers than use up valuable ISO on him until they literally have none of the best ones left to champ.

Doesn't everyone assess which characters are poor and which are good and prioritise the good characters? Thought that would be pretty common practice in such an ISO starved game.

Steve111 said: So the last 4* feeder for 5* was announced 21 August 2018. Now were are in October 2018, I wonder when the next one will be announced. Did I miss news of a 4* feeder in the anniversary post? Any news gratefully accepted...
In general, the normal schedule of 4* -> 5* feeder is the first week of a season. There has been one season since the 10th Anniversary where they made six 4* characters 5* feeders - we can assume they didn't add one the following season because they had already added so many (i.e. one of the six was the intended feeder for the season.) They then had an extra week on the "off-season" until the anniversary, and that brings us to now. At this point, I'd expect the next feeder announcement to be:
a) for the Anniversary
b) in the first week of the next actual season.
If it's the latter it will unfortunately be some time, probably 3-4 weeks since they seem to be planning a longer Anniversary season this time and they may throw in an off season for that as well. Let's hope not.
