Is it worth the CP for Prof $?

Since the professor is going to be the required 5 in the next PVE do we think it is safe to not bother with the CP store surrounding the alliance event?  In theory the next time he would be featured would be after he enters the LT pool.  I was planning on blowing my horde (300+ pulls) once the next 5* hit the pool anyway.

    Would you normally spend 500 CP on a single cover to access the 5E?  Say you had bad luck pulling the 5 who entered Latest (we've all been there).  Would you spend 500 CP there or say "oh well, I'll try hard next event"?

    Only you can answer that question, but trading 20 pulls of champ rewards and potentially another 5* cover or two for 9 CP, 3 event tokens, and (maybe) some placement rewards sounds like very bad trade to me.

    Don't let the - unusual circumstances - change your normal decision making process here.

    I still don't have Gambit after selling mine. The last time he was featured, I went SCL9 and finished t50.

    It is NOT worth it, IMO.

    Not having the 5* essential will only matter in end placement. You can easily get all progression awards. So what are you really missing out on not having it? Some tokens, couple of CP and some 3* or 4*. So as Borstock said, not worth it.

    The only benefit to me of trying to get him in the alliance store is if you need a couple more covers to finish off Strange too. Otherwise I would just wait.

    You’re missing what he/she is saying. 

    The question is about pulling in the Banner/Strange store to get a cover, or if it is safe to wait to pull from Latests for the NEXT time professor is essential. 

    To that I’d say with 99% certainty you are safe to wait, as he shouldn’t be essential again until he is in Latests. 

    That 1% uncertainty is because I never thought they would make him essential before available in tokens, so they could “try something new” and make him essential ASAP.

    Errrmmm.....

    Well, now people know my thoughts about using 500 CP for his cover.   :D

    I think the bigger question for the OP then is how much they want Banner and Strange covers.....if those aren't helpful then wait for Latest.

    IF the devs make Prof $ essential in the timeframe where he is not in a store somewhere (between Higher Learning and Latest update) they are both shooting themselves in the foot (not unprecedented) and should expect a bad (even worse?) reaction from players.
