Yeah my Winter Soldier is 297. So another saved cover coming soon.
I thought the goal of the experiment was to see if you could cover Latests without hoarding given your playstyle. If your goal is to get a 5* to pair with Robbie, then hoarding may be a better bet because you end up with special vaults all the time that may contain one of the characters you’re close to finishing. But I get that hoarding can be flat out boring. I’m looking at end game as the point where I’ll be able to break my hoard.
I am trying to see if I can do it by spending as I go, but since that is totally RNG dependent, I like the idea of targeting something on purpose to beat the odds a little bit.
I don’t know what my endgame is, I should probably pick something and get off the treadmill...
73 pulls in latest (taking the 3 i took in Masked Vengeance out of the total). I've earned enough to have taken 76 pulls, which means I'm earning on average 2.05 pulls/day
So far, it does not seem like the experiment is working lol.
I guess I'm curious if i'll be seeing a rash of 5*s here shortly to bring my odds back up or not.
Should the experiment prove to be a failure, I might go back to spending into classics to increase my volume of 4* acquisition and try to bank on feeders.
I just went 18 pulls without a 5*. That streak ended with God Doom; that was my 4th Doom in fewer than 30 pulls, and I've gotten him four times in a row without interruptions from Cable or Fatpin.
I also kept track of how many Cables, Pins, and Dooms I got from tokens that contained them.
Thought about saving CP up for awhile in case of a special store, but then decided not to...for science. I figure I owe it to the experiment. So I had 36cp
God Emperor Doom: Blue
th odds still kind of “owe” me another one, but I don’t want to be greedy.
I have Okoye paid up to 375 now (she was at 300 when I champed GR:RR)- feels like that took forever. In case anyone is wondering what this partial-build Okoye looks like, its:
B: Wakanda Forever!: +736 damage/TU AP in the bank, base team up damage is increased by 90% Y: Indomitable Spirit: restore 667 health/tu on the board, then convert 2 basics to TU R: deal 3252 and destroy a row, dealing 650/enemy strongest color destroyed
In the Hooked on a Feeling pvp, I'm currently "floating" at 257 points, down from 600 last night. I'm at 15 wins, i'll probably need to hit 40 again if I want to get the Prof X in there. Even with the difficulties I've been having hanging on to points, I still finished the PVP season in 438th place.
I'm at this point more interested in landing the PVP tokens at 850 than the 4* (unless it's someone I need, or an LT reward level), since they are very reliable at giving out 4* bonus heroes. My Chavez is up to 292 already-one more level and she'll be tied with Rogue as my highest naturally leveled 4*.
Trying to decide now what to do with my iso.
1) Level my eligible 5*s up to 375 - will this help or hurt my PVP situation? Keep in mind I'm not trying to place, really, i just want to be able to climb to 900, ideally without a shield. My options are:
I have a bunch more I could take to 330 (bolt, gambit, phoenix, goblin, surfer, etc), but I don't think that helps much.
2) Get back on champing 4*s. I have 37 un-champed 4*s, all but Namor, Ham, and Taskmaster are at 10 covers or more. 24 of those are at 209 already. I don't have too many top tier 4*s un-champed, so it's not really about filling in roster holes so much as it is widening my base of resource generation, and trying to make my life a little easier during 4* PVP events. even useful baby champ 4*s don't really help me much in PVP - Ghost Rider is just too slow to win fast enough to hang onto points
It costs about as much to take a 5* from 255 to 375 as it does to take a 4* from 70 to 270, which is around 375k iso. It costs roughly 1/3 of that to go from 70 to 209. I may alternate back and forth - I think getting JJ up to 375 is going to at least tell me if she's worth chasing further, and after that I can focus on 4*s for awhile.
Hit 900 in Hooked on a Feeling without shielding in 34 matches. Switched from taking on big point teams to just teams I could beat relatively quickly. I had to do it all in one push from down under 400pts, since I really can’t float anymore. Got a Bag-man for my trouble.
Just as a bonus 4* check in, I've gotten 8 America Chavez covers since 1/23. I seem to be earning 0.4 Chavez covers/day.
If this acquisition rate holds, I'm 167.5 days away from a fully covered Jessica Jones (discounting any 5* bonus heroes I might get along the way). Am I doing that math correctly? 67 covers needed divided by 0.4?
Sounds like forever lol. Hopefully the experiment starts to show some results here in the meantime, so that I don't need to go half a year like this...

i ended up having to get 40 wins in the thanos pvp for that Nova. I can’t hang on to points for nothing y’all.
Okoye is at lvl 327 now. I’m curious what a mid-level 5* wingperson might do for my float point in PvP. Probably nothing.
its been 19 pulls since my last 5*...
73 pulls in latest (taking the 3 i took in Masked Vengeance out of the total).
I've earned enough to have taken 76 pulls, which means I'm earning on average
2.05 pulls/day
7:73 were 5* (9.6%)
1 5* bonus hero
6 4* bonus heroes
Latest Legends cover spread:
Kitty Pryde: 2/2/0 *no longer in latest
Cable: 1/3/1

Also, it turns out Okoye DOES tank team up over GR:RR now.
guess I’m throwing iso into Bishop though...

Currently have 15cp
