Still here? The cost of all Support resources is what they are charging now. All resources in the past have slowly increased after an initial rollout phase, and it seems likely that this will happen again. 200CP is likely to get you a 5* cover. If the Supports are more valuable than a Latest 5 cover, go for it. But later you may wish you had waited.Neither iso nor riso is worth using CP on for me. If you pull any dupe Supports, your conversion rate is effectively more riso for your CP spent.

For me, 450 CP is about a week and a half's Worth, I estimate my income at around 300 CP a week. About 120 from PvE, 75 from PvP, 14 from DDQ... The rest is from champion rewards, season rewards and intercepts I guess.
It seems clear to me that the Master Support Token is the Support Equivalent of a Legendary Token. Right now, supports seem to be valued at an order of magnitude more than their cover-yielding counterparts. At least one order of magnitude, actually, they're super hard to get. Similarly, RIso is probably valued at least 10X (maybe more like 100X or 1000X) as much as Iso.
I suspect this is not the situation that will last, but that is as it stands. Since Master Tokens (and Advanced tokens, for that matter,) are only available through special offers right now, they're valued extremely high. Please note that I don't say they're worth that much - they're worth their usefulness to you, which is actually pretty low. But the game itself values them extremely highly right now.

A master support token has a 10% chance of giving you a whole 5* support. And given that you almost never fully cover a character from 13 random covers, the difference is probably even greater. So much this. Players, trained on the expectations of the character economy, have yet to grasp just how different the support economy will be. They should be harder to get, and take longer to level, because they are forever. And they will be relevant forever. (Characters get passed by meta. Supports can just shift to the new shiny.) And there is zero waste.Essentially, supports are distributed in several ways players always wished characters were, and are durable in ways players wish characters were.The rarity of supports, and their fuel, reflects those differences, as well as their newness.
