What are the covers you can't... stop... getting?

in MPQ General Discussion

When it comes to incomplete characters, there's almost always one color that the game keeps force-feeding me, and I was reminded of this when I beat Crash of the Titans today and my LL token was YET ANOTHER black cover for my 2/5/3 Eddie Brock (+4 saved black covers now). I'm sure it's the same for a lot of folks, so who are your worst offenders?

I know that my 2/2/5 (+4 saved) Dazzler is barely convinced colors besides green exist.

And my 2/2/5 (+4 saved) Nebula feels the same way about red.

My Cyclops (5/3/2 + 3 saved) actually started off with 9 red covers before I ever saw a blue or a yellow (and before saved covers existed).

Quake is another character for whom I may only have 3 saved green covers on her 5/4/4 build, but I burned away a LOT of extra greens before the days of saving (and at least I did finally manage a 13 cover build for her recently, though I haven't champed her).


What covers have you been overburdened with?

    1*s & 2*s.  Primarily 1*s but that was too short to post.

    This was way before cover save became a thing but I remember before I champed Teen Jean, I swear I must have pulled over 20 Purples before I had her fully covered. It was maddening.

    Lately it's been Cable blue. He hit 10/1/1 last night. It's getting to the point where I'm starting to fear when purple comes up from a LT, because it feels like it's always just another Cable blue.
    I got a ton of Vulture black covers before I managed to champ him, too. He was stuck at something like 5/3/3 for ages while I had to just keep tossing black covers, since that was before saving was an option.

    Wasp yellow was everywhere for awhile.

    My first ever decent side hoard pull it was Blade green.  Out of ~120 pulls, including BH hits, I think I got 8 greens.  I did end up fully covering him.

    Red Hulk's red and until recently Venom (Eddie's) yellow. But I got around my Venom problem with Loki and currently hoarding 3* Thor covers so I can get my last cover for Red Hulk. Outside of those everyone else in 4* land is champed, fully covered or fairly even.

    My patch was 0/0/5 for a really long time back in the day and I pulled like 15 more before I finally got him maxed covered.

    Pre-saving, I couldn't stop getting blue Nick Fury's or purple Spider-Woman. On a much smaller scale, a few lopsided 5*s. My 6/1/1 DareDevil, 7/3/2 ghost rider, and a 5/2/1 Okoye come to mind, though that's hardly a 10/1/1 lol

    Oh, I forgot about 5*. My only bad one there is Jessica Jones (1/2/5 + 3 saved).

    My memorable one was Doctor Strange 3*; felt like I had blue covers departing on the stack on a daily basis by the time he was finally champed - must have burned through 15+ excess waiting for the right pulls.

    My Nightcrawler is champed, so I wouldn't call it any kind of burden, but one week it got to the point where if I pulled any more of his covers, they'd have to announce it as part of the morning's weather report.

    Red
    G4mora ... Miles Morales .... Ares....   2* Thor... (I'm ending here but there's more.)

    RNG knows there are other colors in the game, right?

    The only nice thing is save covers feature.

    2*s. They are such a waste of time and so paltry a reward and yet they 75% or more of what you get.

    X-23 green. She's a solid 9/0/1

    Lockjaw. He's well on the way to being my first maxed 4* at this rate. Before him it was Antman for the longest time.

    10 green covers for Iron Spider. He's like a 1/10/2 or something.

    Phoenix Green.
    At 12/4/2 I'm starting to think I'll never get her finished.

    For a while my Okoye was a mighty 0/5/0. I tried pulling as much as I could while it was still possible to have dupes swapped, but of course I only got more yellows after that window closed. By that time I had gotten a few black and red covers, but it wasn't until she got a feeder that I managed to champ her.

    I used to get a heck of a lot of Phoenix green covers back when she was fairly new too. I could probably have rostered two dupes if I hadn't decided that was a waste of roster space...

    While chasing Okoye covers while she was still in latest, my Wa5p reached something like 8/2/1. 

    But the most ridiculous single color streak I ever saw was in my 2* farm on (I think) Moonstone, where I legit reached something like 20ish saved covers when she was 2/5/5. Now that I recap this, I realize it was before the saved covers feature even, which means they were just polluting my vine.

    /edit: Another one I recall: Before I could champion C4rol, I only pulled her black covers for quite a while. So much in fact that I decided to reroster her, reaching something like 4/1/0 before I pulled the final cover in the color I needed.
