End of aug I reckon for pullathon. ………Sounds dodgy Why not just chase Spidey now in his exclusive vault? I'd rather try to get him fully covered and get a handful of covers for the next guy then have Doc Ock thrown in the mix. I have 3800 CP saved up, that's my plan. Friends, don't let friends buy new release Legendary Tokens.The 10% rate of 5* vs. 15% in most tokens is a total dealbreaker. A lot of people see that as doubled chances for Spider-Man when they should look at it as reduced chances for 5* covers instead.Compare the three kinds of LTs this way instead:Average/expected CP cost per 5* cover:Classic tokens (15% 5*, 20 CP): 133 CP / 5* coverLatest tokens (15% 5*, 25 CP): 167 CP / 5* coverNew release tokens (10% 5*, 25 CP): 250 CP / 5* coverI think the comparison between 133 CP vs 167 is close enough to weigh those two tokens against each other, but 250 CP is outrageous. 5* covers from this pack cost 50% more than those from Latests, and nearly double those from Classics.

fight4thedream said: @DarthDeVo : It really depends on your meta-goals. If you are solely interested in acquiring 5* Spider-man, I imagine pulling from the exclusives is your safest bet.However, if you are interested in acquiring/maintaining a competitive roster for PvP and/or PvE, then as my esteemed colleague Dayv has pointed out, waiting for him to be in the Latest Tokens is the better investment. Additionally, you might acquire another 5* character who compliments and/or enhances the new Spidey's skill set (think Black Bolt & Widow, Thanos & Panther). Arguably 5* Star Lord *might* fill that role with his ability to generate green AP and steal AP but I don't think a Spidey-SL pairing will be meta-changing and Spidey-Doc Oc is definitely a no-go (Ironically, the new Spidey pairs pretty well with GG, go figure lol) so the most prudent course of action would be to wait.But that's only if you are competitive player. And even then, it's not really clear how much the new 5* Spidey will affect the meta. For PvP, his team stun will run afoul of the current Meta-Kings Thanos & Black Panther and will give added incentive to use Surfer. A Spidey & Thanos team will definitely be viable but I don't see it being faster than T&BP if shield hopping is your jam (although it might be better defensively in terms of slowing matches down) and he might make OML worth running again (strike tiles, strike tiles). For PvE, I don't see him particularly over taking the BB-Thanos-Strange monster force, although I suppose he could be used as a 5trange substitute if you don't have him. But if my last two paragraphs mean nothing to you, then I wouldn't worry too much about it. I am a huge Spidey fan, too, but I am honestly on the fence about cracking open the hoard since I do play the game competitively to some extent, less so than before, but still. It also doesn't help that I have BSSM and the lack of buff for BSSM and the history of how this game has treated Spidey leaves me a bit wary. So I will definitely wait to see what other 5* characters enter the token pull before I make a decision. If they release a 5* Deadpool next that compliments Spidey I would definitely be on board to lighten my hoard. And if they release God Emperor Doom, they can have the rest of my hoard too lol (Wishful thinking)With that said, the new 5* Spidey definitely looks like he will be a lot of fun to use and has a really awesome power set so I hope you are able to acquire him whichever route you decide to take. As always, just do what makes you happiest.
DarthDeVo said: Hmm, @Dayv, I'd never considered that before. Let me ask you this, though. When 5pidey moves in to Latest, he'll join Star-Lord and Doc Ock. The general consensus is they leave much to be desired.So taking that into consideration, would it be better to still pull from the new release Legendary store, maybe pulling fewer 5* covers total but guaranteeing they aren't 5tar-Lord or Ock? Or pulling 5pidey when he's in Latest and just dealing with the other two? I suppose there's always the third way: waiting for 5tar-Lord and Ock to cycle out and really hope the 5*s that replace them are better.

Cactus_Jack_87 said: I pulled from the Spidey store today, lesson learned, gentlemen. With 4,000 CP, I only got 11 Spidey covers, which is around 6.5%. At around 160 pulls, I also only got seven 4* bonuses, and zero 5* bonuses. Must not have been my lucky day. Maybe I shouldn't have hit that gypsy with my car? Thankfully, Spidey at least has a good spread at 4/4/3, and I'm confident that I can finish him up in the next three months, but I'm quite disappointed that I didn't get him finished with CP to spare. @Dayv, you were right, I doubt I'll be doing the exclusive store again. It worked with Thanos, apparently that was a lucky fluke. Now back to hoarding for November!

I have 19 LTs that I got from champ levels with my 4*s, so hopefully I can get at least one more from those. Glad you got your Spidey covered!
