    The That's a Steel vault is excellent.

    Unfortunately I've had awful luck with it so far. Out of 11 pulls, I've only received 1 of the 22 ascended characters. Almost all my other picks have been Elite Packs or 4 star covers.

    I also have approximately 85% of the lighting vaults, not complete contents but whatever character or support was the featured prize.

    If I recall correctly, it wasn't just the content of 10th anniversary vaults that were better. The cost to empty the content was better. I know I bought out the vaults many, many times and was hoping for something like that this year.

    To me, the vault content is weak and the cost of the vault is too high. Definitely not spending any HP on the vault this year beyond the 100 HP each day.

    I'll double check my notes to see if I made a note of the cost for the anniversary vaults. Might also have that info on screenshots saved on my external. I'll have an update in a few hours.

    I would just like to say that the Disruptions node that opened today was hilarious. It was one long wave (12?) of low level enemies. It was fun trying to clear the entire wave in one move. I couldn't help but laugh at the parade of banners.

    5* Riri and Coulson, bring red and green. Fire Riri red aoe then green, make one match. Done... in about 5 minutes lol.

    I brought Juggernaut 4a5, Thanos 3a4, and I don't think it mattered who else. A decent cascade on turn one ends the game.

    Assuming you have enough purple supports / boosts, take scorpion in and just click those rent-a-baddies away.

    Putting one of Gorr's temporarily invis goons ("amalgamated shadow"?) as last man was a PitA move :D ... just one extra move if not Thanos'ing but still, whine, whine, whine.

    My favorite addition to the game for this anniversary is the Anniversary Pass. I sincerely hope that they make a "Season Pass" available during the season for the same HP cost. It's a great way for dedicated players to earn more rewards.

    Double-iso is awesome, though I know that it can't carry over. Pre-anniversary, I had 36 5's waiting to be champed (85 total unchamped 5's -- 36 of those have 13 covers). While I still have 36 5's waiting to be champed, it's because four of my undercovered 5's hit the 13-cover mark, meaning that I've champed four 5's already. Anniversary month always feels like they've let slip the dogs of progress. As it is, if I'm only able to champ all of the month's new releases plus one extra 5-star, it will take me over six years to finish. Love the anniversary rate much better.

    The vaults definitely seem a bit lackluster (not counting all the ascended goodness which is naturally new to this year), but the lightning vaults are apparently the exciting ones to watch and wait for. Overall, I'm enjoying the anniversary.

    Where's the easy access to limited characters? I haven't got any Devil Dinosaur covers this year, let alone Howard the Duck or Taskmaster. At least Quandary wasn't an Alliance event this time around.

    It’s possible we see some of their covers in the PvP season…?

    I agree it’s kind of odd but those covers don’t matter to me either.

    You can buy them, which isn’t what you asked and is kind of a jerk move. Why not let people use HP for them in some special vault or something if they feel like it?

    Devil Dino and Spider-Ham have feeders now, perhaps the devs think that's enough?

    Spider-Ham was historically associated with December / end of year.

    3 covers from each cycle of a 3* feeder is pretty meager to what was available in past anniversaries on Devil Dino.

    We don't appear to be having any of the PvE or PvP events we normally get at Anniversary for the limited characters so I have to assume a vault is coming at some point.

    I got more Spider-Ham’s when he was a bonus feature in Classic than I ever did during any of his event rotations the last couple months. I do think it’s interesting all these anniversary season quests want you to use Doop instead of Ham when they ask you to run a Limited and do X.

    Spider-Ham in event rotations?

    When I started pulling him from classics and applying the covers it was almost a novel experience. Other than feeding from Iron May, he hadn't been touched in a long time.

    I assume they use Doop because he is available to newer players.

    The Anniversary Lightning Vaults are severely overpriced. They either need to make the rewards better or lower the price. I have spent absolutely zero HP so far on anything anniversary related, which is unheard of in prior anniversaries. I am very underwhelmed verging on disappointed.

    I've also got all the Anniversary Pass rewards I can use Anniversary points for. It'd be nice if every thousand Anniversary XP after completing the Pass were good for a token from the Anniversary Vault.
    Normally the Anniversary is full of unique events and great rewards. This has been meh.

    Eh. Normally the anniversary gets a ton of hype and fails to deliver. This one is about even with most of the past ones.

    I'm not even saying it's bad! Aside from the first anniversary (which was pretty killer) every subsequent one has been fine.
