well you haven't proven the odds wrong as much as had slightly unfortunate odds.
I mean you have a 31% chance of doing 11 pulls without getting a single 5*.
Never tell me the odds.
No seriously. Never tell me the odds because my 5* luck is shit.
I was surprised it was a token instead of a 3* star lord.
I got a green 5* starlord from it.
for the hell of it decided to face the last round thanos with a level 15 bagman, level 15 storm, and level 70 dannny.
almost beat him.
if I could have gotten the extra red gem I would have lol
Wasp actually is pretty decent after the reblance... riri is almost never decent >.>

As someone who is in the same situation except with Jessica Drew and Blade, wait. Spend it on the character you'll use more often. If you really want to champ Riri at some point, you'll still get more covers later to do it with.
I mean the only real plus of riri over jessica is the fact that jessica is likely going to be gone from the tokens in a month while riri still has like 5 months.
Wasp will be gone with the start of the next season.
and then unless they do a double release, it is likely safe to say rocket/gamora are the two new 4* for next season so that will kill off spider woman and cage after next season.
depending on how quickly you can get the iso medusa and later is likely a good target to start champing as if you pull a few 4* a week by the time you get medusa and later champed you will likely have a nice cycle of new 4* to champ and build up with tokens you get from them.
so i mean if you aren't going to use wasp or riri much and just want the champ rewards riri might be the better choice now that I think about it.
plus you could just hope she gets a rework at some point.
I imagine a new character update will be announced tomorrow or the day after. that being said given they just had a solid event I fully expect it will be a 3* iron man and 3* iron fist nerf.
I am curious how my characters are being built so lets see..
Wasp - 2/2/3
Spider Woman - 4/5/4
Luke C4ge - 3/2/2
GwenPool - 5/5/1
Bl4de - 1/5/2
Agent Venom - 1/2/2
Medusa - 2/2/1 (has been a favorite since the start and at least one of the covers is from that)
Captain M4rvel -3/3/4 (has been a favorite since the start and at least one of the covers is from that)
Riri Williams - 0/1/4
Mordo - 1/3/3
Agent Coulson - 0/3/1
Iron Fist - 1/0/1
Cloak and Dagger - 0/1/0
I should also note that I have only gotten 2 spider woman covers since they vaulted some, she was stalking me before the vaulting lol.
edit: found an estimated out list
edit 2: hmmm seems I will be earning some 4* cyclops covers in my resupplies... now to decide if I want to spend some iso cyclops to champ him so I can use those covers. maybe it wouldn't even by half my money to champ him right now and he is fun to goof around with 3* iron man and starlord (though peggy is even more fun as her blue powers up starlord's red quite a bit which typically means if I can recharge and spam her blue twice I win as star lord punches what ever isn't stunned and the countdowns count down while the others are stunned and murder lol)
mine in general are still unusable aside from OML
though OML can almost be fully replaced by Carol at this point. hoping I can finish getting her covers soon, champ her, and just completely replace OML with a much better black to fuel.

3/3/5 Phoenix as my most covered, 1/2/1 OML as my most used, and a couple others with 3-5 covers.
So now to my dilemma. Sitting on 6 Jessica Drew covers (not the problem). About to get my 14th Riri cover in a few days (still not the problem). About to get my 14th XFW cover (still not the problem). Just fully covered Nova with one of the boss event covers still in the queue and one more coming from PvE progression (here's the problem). Now the dilemma was easy when it was Jessica or XFW. Now that it's champ Nova or wait for Blade, that's a little bit tougher, especially since I have no guarantee of when the next Blade cover will drop.

Champ Nova-he's awesome.
Dalek is correct. Even more awesome when boosted.
Going to try this out today...

they obviously did worse than expected given they have daily sales this time around but i imagine they are selling decently to the whales.
Carnage
looks like carnage is back. limits the special tiles some but at least it is a passive again.
Drax
no longer requires friendly tiles for black.
and his purple is no longer crap, will have to see the numbers but a heavy strike tile plus dealing damage with count down tiles expiring could be fun.
Thank fucking god. I burned though all of my HP boosts last time, since I only had his purple maxed, and middling coverage of his other powers. Which would have been trivial, if it could trigger of his own casts!
Did they invert the carnage red? Wasn't the last change AoE if it was 10 or above?

ill dig around to confirm but i believe last time at 10 or above is when he did aoe damage to everything.
now it does aoe to the enemy regardless but if you have less than 10 your team takes damage as well.
edit: yeah they had it previously where you needed 10 red to do AOE. now it always does AOE damage, but if you have more than 10 red it won't hit your own team.
Oh so you just need a 3 AP buffer to avoid team damage altogether? I think that might actually make him stronger than before the last nerf! Though I guess it was always the attack tiles that caused the real damage
not 100% sure given he isn't out but that is indeed how i read it, as long as he fires off the move with at least 10ap it should just hit the enemy. apparently their goal was actually to buff carnage and not nerf him like the originally did. Though I am also just realizing that the black move sounds like it will just place special tiles out, no powers needed to be fired to do so. going to be such a good medusa partner if true.
in other thoughts I still can't decide who I prefer between 4* cyclops and peggy.
I do know I am enjoying peggy + iron man 40 + kk
as well as
Marvol + IF + starlord quite a bit.
the second for the good nodes as they jsut go crazy @_@. it's fun watching someone make a 10k per match move, and my marvel is still missing a few covers I want. and 61 levels.

Peggy's defense is so much better than Cyc's offense that it isn't funny. And she's not even bad offensively, she's just a powerhouse of defense.
I like th eboard control from cyclops that allows me to chain, but argubally peggy's offense is better than his is and indeed she has better defense so i think I will lean towards her so maybe i will champ her at some point
as aside of the two teams I was listing I was also having fun with iron man peggy and starlord against goons where reduced cost battery + peggy stunning everyone for a bunch of 3 turn damage and star lord punching people for heavy damage.
that being said i think I am getting cyclops covers soon so I might just champ him to get a token and some CP.
plus I really don't want my iso to go above 1 mil.

Red Hulk.
But yeah, in Shield Sim right now, it's usually IM40, either Cyclops or 4Thor or Peggy as the R/B user, then Teen Jean or RHulk or Iceman as the G/P user (of those three Jean is the only one I have champed, so more often than not her). Easy to assemble and easily interchangable.
defense?
why would I worry about defense
my average PVP season scores over the last 3-4 seasons was like 400 per season lol.
thus why I mentioned goons because starlord isn't great against non goon nodes (still good just not great)
I'm still a fan of KK as my green user as she does a good amount of damage and her burst health helps keep my team alive longer in pve.
edit:
HA HA HA they can't even send out tokens right.
earned myself a deadpool vs MPQ token this morning and instead of being on the vault page it's on a stockpiled token page.
so while I think both character updates are going to be good in terms of being able to use them in PVE.... I think both character updates will also make their crashes a lot harder.
for carnage
will be fun with mr fantastic/medusa.... but is going to be a huge bitch to deal with against the doc oc clash who will just match your attack tiles and make his own eventually hitting your limit to make your own and have the board filled with his... and if he doesn't match yours his blue will still do massive damage.
and then for drax.
his purple
is way more interesting in general (and apparently inspired from the countdown damage glitch) It will be fun to use with others that have countdown timers but for the purposes of the clash... it will merely be a 10 costing purple move that drops a small strike tile and does nothing else as drax can't make countdown tiles.... not that he could really trigger the move before either.

his black got quite the damage nerf and while it is nice it has some board shake it requires enemy special tiles which star lord will drop some only after you fire a power.

indeed. sounds fun in general, if the numbers are good this could be our first good new 4* since what medusa... I mean I think 4* cage is alright, but most of the others since medusa haven't been very exciting.
actually it seems at level 270 and 5 covers for 10 green you get to do 6514 damage if it isn't matched and 5503 if it is matched (and 1800 to your team)
you seem to start with 8 strike tiles of random colors at max level of the passive
and
aka he looks solid in general and indeed good to pair with Carol.

And on their forums, they posted a Q&A about vaulting:
http://forums.d3go.com/discussion/64069/answers-to-the-8-questions-about-vaulting-5-2-17
The basic gist of it is that they considered two of their biggest problems to be pack dilution (keeping the same chances at 4 star [and 3 star] characters while adding more characters making it harder to cover any one character), and in turn, the length of time it look to get a single usable 4 star character. Vaulting introduced a ton of other complaints, but it did "fix" those two problems. And it says they're exploring more ways to give out vaulted covers, but they aren't announcing anything.

Anybody else have issues with choosing to watch the video for the bonus after a game and it not playing which means no bonus?
Considering that I only get the videos like...2-3 times a week? Not really

I've had it happen before, but it usually sorts itself out after a while.
I'm VIP so Ive never had to watch them.

Weird, the videos just started for me today. The last month or so I've just been getting bonuses without having to watch anything.

If you buy VIP or spend more than, I think, $10 on the game, it lets you get the bonuses without watching the videos for a month.

I haven't spent anything yet. Musta got lucky.
.... holy crap.... the rocket numbers are out.

12 blue ap
Level 5: Deals 1662 damage and creates a strength 360 Black Attack tile. (countdown tile that activates every turn like human torch)
this big one the yellow passive.
Level 5: Creates 7 strength 132 Strike tiles or strength 276 Strike tiles instead. (the instead if if you have another guardian)
10 green
Level 5: Deals 6614 damage to the enemy team. If matched away, deals 5503 damage to the enemy team and 1804 damage to your team.
and while it is on the board for 3 turns groot makes random matches.
but that yellow...
that is almost 2k in free strike tiles at the start of battle...
that is freaken nuts @_@
he is going to be an absolute must to melt goon nodes as he will double how fast 3* strange kills things.
beyond that though carol plus starlord plus him plus goon that places tiles = massive death. Medusa also would combo nicely just to have her tiles deal damage.
but we have to remember OML spending 9 black to make 800 worth of strength tiles was OP.

4/3/1 Thing vs Torch went well enough. Few tries to get the board right. For me I focused on denying red/black, then green (since after he fires green it's not as bad if he doesn't have the reserves for it. One round he fired it and did no damage for about 5 turns). Red stun was a big help in clearing up the attack tiles when he got them out there
Went well for me too-I have another 5* Thanos cover now.
I got 1000 iso thanks to spiderwoman.
I really should just stockpile CP and tokens until she is out of the vault... I think she isn't that far off from being removed.
edit: wasp is next out... which means I still should pull. After she leaves though I can stock for a while until spiderwoman is gone.
