    When can we expect to see this in the support store after this limited vault is over? @Brigby

    @brigby, curious: in the past, new supports would come out with new chararers, every two weeks or so, but this it the first new support since 10/23 (Hope Summers). Does this mean we'll be seeing a slow down of new supports or just nothing that fit the theme for Domino or Bishop?

    We need access to Support tokens, and stores need to be updated with all of the existing tokens. Hello, Earth to devs? This has been a problem for months, and we've given you an easy and obvious solution for months, and you can't even give us the dignity of talking about the problem, much less actually doing anything to fix it.

    This is crossing the line from infuriating to insulting.

    I'm afraid at this moment I don't have any available news to share about when The Tinkerer may enter the support store.

    The only information I'm aware of is that it's not a guarantee we'll be releasing a new support alongside each new character, as is evident with Domino and Bishop.

    I'm afraid I'm unaware as to the reasoning behind that, but it's plausible that the inability to find something to turn into a support, that's both iconic and relevant to the character, is part of the reason for the inconsistency.

    Any info on when previous releases will be put into support packs, as that none have been entered since the children of Thanos? Or should we consider these supports limited / one time items

    I'm just going to keep on playing as if they don't exist

    actually Why not remove the basic support token from the vaults?

    Those 16 dupe supports  could have been 16 3* covers, which translates to a 4* cover plus all the other iso cp, and hp that I would have gotten off my farms.

    until there's a plan to actually use or update the basic support token store.  Please remove the token since it no longer has any use to active players

    Keep the One-time Support stores,  since there is no plan to merge them into the general support store.  The people who want to whale for the support can do so, with out burdening players with tokens to redundant items that aren't actively manged or updated.  Most people already have those basic supports acquired, no need to have empty or null spots in the vault.

    Gosh darn, and I was just about to comment on the acquisition rate of supports, specifically pertaining to the contents of the Tinkerer vault and the sub-optimal results of my single token opening.

    Perk 5

    • At the start of battle, there's a 80% chance to gain 6 Black AP.

    Will literally *anyone* put Tinkerer on Prowler when he could go on Vulture instead?
    Considering the artwork would be fitting for someone working with the MCU Vulture and Vulture is even the HfH cover for the Tinkerer tokens, I’d like to think that they considered this.

    250 cp for Kraven and you don't have a guarantee of getting the new support.
    whats 1/27 chance of 5%?  A: too tinykitty small to bother

    Vulture turn one take off is straight broken
    the invisible AoE buff is amazing but you also get a big ol strike tile
    the synergy perk is really good too but suffers from comparison. If you did run this on Prowler the added fortification would ensure that you team with shuri or Powerman, third option would be T'challa and run his red at 5 but again Vulture can go Airborne on your first turn.

    I mean, it's a great support for both characters.
