Hi MPQ forumites, long time lurker, first time poster here.
I'm looking to pull my mega hoard some time in mid-October (which is when I'm anticipating Doc-Ock will leave the LL pool), and am looking for hoard pulling advice and what to aim for!
As some background: I'm fairly deep in the 4* tier: currently I have 45 4* champs, of which 9 are in the blessed 12; of the remaining 36, 1 is Howard so 35 from the vintage pool are champed too. Of the 3 non-champed latest 12, Gamora will be champed after the current TaT PVE finishes, leaving just Vulture (7 covers) and Sandman (9 covers). Of the non-champed vintage characters, all four are cover maxed, I'm just not willing to drop ISO into them (yet). As far as 5* tier goes, got a clutch of covers, highest is OML (ofc) at level 315.
Now for my hoard: been hoarding since 1st Nov (anyone remember No-Pull November? Well I kept going!), currently I'm sitting on 300 LL tokens, 7,467 CP and 1.9m ISO, which currently would give me 598 latest pulls. Like I said, I'm expecting to pull the trigger some time in mid-October and at the rate I'm accumulating resources I expect to have 360 LL tokens, around 9k CP and around 4.9m ISO at that point (since I started tracking, per day I'm amassing: 1 LL, 26 CP and around 50k ISO).
This is where I need advice and/or some strategy.
When I do finally pull my hoard, do I
a) pull until I have 13 covers for each of the 5* in the LL pool at that point (Spidey, DD?, ???) - as discussed in other threads this will probably be around 300 pulls and will (probably) end up maxing all the latest 12 4* characters plus some from the vintage pool. I *should* have the ISO to champ all these additional 4* (4.9m ISO less 1.7m to champ 3x5* leaves me 3.2m, which is just under 8 4* champs)
b) pull the entire hoard in order to get additional champ levels on my 3x5*
c) other ideas?
As well as the above, any help/advice on how to actually pull the hoard?
Appreciate any info, I know I'm not the only one hoarding so would be good to get the community's input on what an optimal pull looks like.

Thanks for all the responses guys, really appreciate it.
Think I'll follow the consensus and try to get my brand new 5*s as high level as I can (ie pull all my tokens / cp). Speaking to my alliance as well, given my OML is 3/2/2 and IM is 2/1/3, I think I'll **** as I pull which of the new 5s I'll want to 'top up' with any 5* BH I pull.
I also hadn't considered what Daiches and Avalanche Kincaid pointed out: with all the champ rewards from adding 4* and 5* champ levels, the number of pulls will be ~20% higher than the balance I'm sitting on at the moment (not to mention ISO etc).
I'll create a new thread when I do pull the trigger for all the guys that like to track that sort of thing.

Just as an aside: By October you'll have at least four more (Mockingbird, Yondu, 2x 4* between next 5* release and the one who'll replace Doc Ock) unchamped 4*

Daiches said: If you're on Line, there are Hoarder rooms for just this kind of thing, and all the lovely math and statistics to figure your expected rate and levels October is going to be glorious.
vinsensual said: Does 5* stat scaling increase by nonlinear amounts? Or is a level 470 roughly 20% stronger than a level 450? (I'm using the 3/4 scaling where +100 levels usually doubles their damage/stats)
