    Normally I expect things to NOT be the same as the prior year regarding vaults, offers(hp, cash, cp, and iso now too). And even though the December Deals started on the same date with the same contents at the same hp cost but only a week shorter, I'm still not expecting the Jan Deals Vault. Obviously I hope it repeats but expecting, not at all.

    I know you track this stuff -- I don't -- but I feel like BCS has been somewhat consistent since they took over? Am I totally off on it? (Actually asking)

    I do know the other guys were all over the place.

    I think they are. Obviously they aren't afraid to try something new, but when something is popular it most likely reappears(rip season vaults 😥).

    Are contents always exactly the same? No, but the structure of the vaults is the same. And there are a few different kinds of vault structures. For example, 200 5* fav shards, a LL, 4 beginner tokens, 1/1/1 of a 4*, 100 x 4 5* shards of a 5, etc. The hp cost for a 40x, 10x, scales with the number of items in the vault. More items, higher cost.

    Are they all good deals? I could argue both sides tbh. I would say it depends on each individuals roster needs. Me for example, the cp and iso vaults might be amazing for some of the OGs, but I can't spare those specific resources yet.

    Do the same vaults appear year after year? Yes and no. Since a lot of vaults are tied to events(black history month, lunar new year, independence day, etc) those are always the same or within a couple days. Other vaults are tied to new game features, ascension mainly comes to mind, and would coincide with batch releases so no real consistency there but we did get targets for release iirc. The vaults for one specific support are consistent for structure and hp cost. I'm not sure how consistently they would drop, there wasn't any sort of pattern jumping out at me.

    All in all, pretty darn consistent if you ask me. Both good and bad but consistent nonetheless.

    I honestly wouldn't go on last year as any judge as this year will be. I still think those vaults are way out of scale for what they give (compared to everything else,) and they'll almost certainly be a lot more sparing with them. I really didn't expect to see one at all.

    The last one last year was in March or April, I believe. I remember I was on a trip when it dropped, let me look that up...

    Yeah, mid to late April. That was the last of them until last week.

    There was a March Madness vault which had full 5s in in. I don’t recall the roster slot availability but it probably had some. In April we had Spring Cleaning.

    I think that was it until June when they put up weekend-long vaults for 4 weeks in a row that were similar to December Deals.

    Then nothing until the December one that ended a couple days ago.
