I definitely have the HP to spare, but 250 shards aren't enough to get me a cover (currently at 100/500). 5 more Shuri levels would get me there, but I'm not shargetting her right now, so that won't be any time soon.With no 5* champs (or even fully covered), my 4/2/2 Okoye doesn't feel like one more cover is going to do a lot now anyway. Honestly, I don't even know what color I'd pick - another Yellow, I guess.Sabretooth - champedWolfsbane - well on her way to being champable (10 covers, with more coming from PvE soon)

Okoye is probably the best single 5* champ. You have 8 covers already, and this would add some shards, which you don't need to convert to a cover straight away. So this effectively brings the championing threshold down to 12 covers + 500 shards, making it less likely you would be stuck with a bad distribution.I eventually covered Thor from classics, and Okoye is my current project. I have 2/0/2, but just under 1,000 shards from targeting and the previous vault, and now I will be adding these. So I am basically halfway, and I'll get there eventually, and it will change my game.

I'm laughing, so hard!In whatever the event was that was one character only, my 550 Okoye was nothing to all the 450 PX's, as well as a bunch of other 5*'s.450 Kitty and the 4* stunners take it out all the time. I doubt they take on 550 JJ or PX or Strange or Kitty like that.The Okoye nerf talk in this thread has had me laughing for days as well. I actively look for Okoye teams to beat in PVP - they are one of the easiest 5*'s to beat. I think it's great design actually: it is a support character that makes your other characters (including non-5*'s!) better and therefore is good on offense, but it's laughable on defense. If I was going for one 5* to move into 5* land, it would be Kitty for sure. If I was going to go for two based on the meta I see, it wouldn't be Thorkoye - it would be PX + something or BRB/Kitty (so Kitty is still a good place to start!) I wish PX/Kitty/BRB/Ice/JJ/Thor/DD were half as easy to beat as any Okoye team is.
