Cyclops advice

My Cyclops is currently 5/5/2.

I tend to save my CP and legend tokens until I have championed a character, then champion which ever 4* next gains its 14th cover. However, cyclops is considerably better than my 4*'s in waiting, namely Fury and Spidergwen.

I now have 120+ CP stored. Should I bite the bullet and pull this and see where it goes or buy the last cover for Cyclops?

I have 16 champed 4* and ISO is roughly coming in at about 300k every 14 days, so I can champ as I pull. For info my current champed list is below.
Kingpin 279
X-23 278
Deadpool 277
Mr Fantastic 275
Wolverine 275
FalCap 275
Star Lord 275
Invisible Woman	275
Antman 274
Hulkbuster 274
4Thor 274
Iceman 274
Electra 273
Nova	273
Professor X 272
Carnage 272

I'm usually against purchasing covers, and my gut feeling is to wait until the blue cover is available as a PVP/PVE reward and really push for it. However, Cyclops has by far been my most unlucky cover with 14 yellows pulled.

Any advice?

    I just champed him this week and he is a beast. If you pair him with IM40 and literally anyone that doesn't over lap, you are unstoppable. Especially with a purpleflag.pnggreenflag.png user. If there is ever a case for using commandpoints.png to finish off a character, he would be it.

    It's just CP, you'll get more. I say go for it.

    He’s really great, and one of the best 4*’s in the game, but considering your roster is pretty formidable with several strong red users already, I’m not sure I would spend the CP on that last blue unless you had a red or yellow cover dying in your queue. I’ve spent money to get that last cover before, on Moon Knight, but that was when I had 3 covers for him that were looking to expire unless I got the 3rd black cover he needed. I would go with your gut and wait for now, but holding on to that CP in case yellow #15 shows up.

    But if you do spend, don’t sweat it too much, he is powerful AND fun to use. I never bother with my champ Hulkbuster because of him.

    I would wait personally given the number of 4s you have champed. But as others said, top 4 and cp is just cp. Though choice, I know when I get to that point with peggy, I will be considering the same.

    If you don't have an expiring Cyclops cover you could just keep a 120 CP buffer and see if you happen to get a blue cover before you get any other color.
    That's said, Cyclops is probably worth buying a 13 cover for.

    Thanks for the advice! I'm thinking of going with Quebbster's advice and keep a buffer.

    Cyclops isn't my only 12 cover wonder, I've Miles 5/2/5 and Ghostrider 3/5/5 too, but wouldn't consider buying a cover for them.

    I think I will keep a 100CP buffer as CP flows fast and see what happens.

    Thanks again icon_e_smile.gif

    I second Q - with your extensive list of 4* champions one will not shift things that much. As great as he is (and boosted he is amazing) I would wait. Keep getting ISO and wait for his cover. Miles and GR are not really worth it (unless you are really in the - whatever cover I get gets the ISO mode).
