    Johnny as Constantine Analog was definitely around during the Dan Ketch era, but I would almost treat that as a different character. Anyway I’m completely unfamiliar with the female Ghost Rider, is she cool?

    Never even heard of her before but it is pretty hard to be cool when your head is on fire, so I assume she is smoking instead.

    I hadn't heard of her before she popped up in MPQ. I went to Marvel Unlimited and read most of her appearances (there aren't many). She was an interesting GR!

    I'm assuming these 2s are for newer players as I barely ever see any in the wild and don't have much use for them myself. Even once I start ascending them, it's not like I use them unless required. I would have to get them to 5 and even then, I have no idea who they would replace.
    But I could be wrong.

    Half for deadhead and half for this one

    Spent 30 k getting. 2 ascended 4 star deadhead. Doubt I even pull from her store

    Though dilution of the 2 star pool actually makes it harder for new players to progress into 3 star play.

    I'm not sure if this is a thing that even happens anymore. A few people have posted about restarting accounts, and a lot of them just end up skipping entire tiers.

    For me, the 2* (and especially the new ones!) are super strong 550s/672s, so I'll always welcome new ones.

    So the target is people Ascending, not new players.

    Would be neat but never happen

    Just think if there was a way to restart from day 1. You cash in all your people at 25 percent more then worth not sure how they figure it. Then restart and build them all again. It be a pure ascended lol

    No idea! I actually doubt they've thought about it beyond "more characters = more slots = more money."

    (And I'm not even faulting then for that! They're running a business, the game exists to make money.)

    Wow, the cover they chose for her is beautiful.

    I'm genuinely curious, how many of the new 2*s do you have at 550?

    40% chance for 3* Characters, 25% chance for 4* Characters, 10% chance for 5* Characters.

    None of this is accurate in-game. It says 1:15 for 5*, 1:2 for 4* and 1:4 for 3*. I pulled the tokens anyway, any attempts to fix it would probably make it worse.

    Please fix for the next 2* release but all I can hope for at this point.

    Is there boosted odds for pulling her in tokens? Headpool covers seemed to fall from the sky but I think I might have only pulled 1 cover for her so far, I don't even have a cover for all powers yet so can't do all the challenges.

    The challenges are for the 4* Ascended so you have to do it in her PVP or pull the already ascended one from the vault

    The only “boosted” odds for her are from Burning Rubber, as she’s the only 2 in there. Otherwise she’s just as likely as all other 2s when pulling other tokens.

    Which means with dilution you’re less likely to pull her than you were to pull Headpool before she entered.

    Fair enough. I thought they did an enhanced chance of pulling thing but obviously not.

    It kind of sucks, but I suspect these odds are "right" and the post was wrong. You're still incredibly favored to pull 4★s (now 50/50 instead of 1:3 or 1:4,) but your chance to pull a 5★ has sunk down to 1:15, which honestly sucks.

    I got 12 of these tokens from placement in PVP, and as I recall I got 3 3★ and 9 4★. That's definitely better than average, but it does not match that thrill of the purple cover.

    Interestingly enough, this means that the cover/CP ratio for 4★s is just under Classic Pulls and if you factor in the chance of bonus shards, it's actually very, very slightly better. For Classics, you basically get (based on percentages,) 3.429 4★ per 100 CP and 3.669 if you factor in bonus shards. For this most recent iteration its 3.333 and 3.733. Because they're cheaper, you're getting slightly more bonus shards per 100. So if you're really looking to pull 4★s, it's probably the best deal you're going to get.

    Is that worth a smaller chance of pulling 5★s? I can't answer that question. For me, it's not just no, but tinykitty no, but for someone trying to build their 4★ roster (or, more to the point, build their 4★s while focusing on a specific 4★ with shards,) it may well be worth it.

    Oh, and the chance for the new 2★ is now at 18% which is worse than Headpool's version (25%,) but more than twice as good as the original (7%.) Still, my opinion is that 3★ covers are not worth CPs, and 2★ covers are really not worth CPs, so YMMV.

    I don't know how he does it. I got two Electro 2a4 when he was released and mine is only 325. Without the ability to favorite, he must be pulling WAY more tokens than I do.
