Oh tell you what, XForce Wolverine’s yellow is the bane of my life. It is by far and away the most frequent 4* drop I’ve had. I’d sold at least 10 of those since I started when the game came to Steam. My Wolverine was sat at 1/2/5 for over a year. When I finally got him to 13 covers I worked to champ him immediately.
Even now if I get a cover to pour into him, it’s usually a yellow one.
Haha, I’m the same with his green. It was my first 4* max cover, and he’s been at 5/2/3 for aaaaaaaaaaaaages. Probably sold around half a dozen. Not even exaggerating.
I’m starting to enter this phase of the game. I’ve had to burn three blue Quake covers despite the fact that for a very long time she was the only 4* that I had any colors maxed out. Now there are 4 characters that give me ISO covers and I have a hoard of CP that I was saving until IM46 moved down to classics. At some point the opportunity cost of opening a legendary and getting one of those covers is going to force me to hoard for completely different reasons.
I was in this exact situation with Iceman – I’d decided to stockpile the 120 CP to buy the last cover. You might want to consider going that route to remove some of the luck from making your Iceman usable – the earlier you can get him to 5/5/3, the better. (Amazingly, I pulled a green Iceman from, I think, an event token and I burned the CP on classic draws. Now I’m in the same situation with 4clops: 5/2/5 with a red in queue, and I’m currently saving the CP to buy the last yellow cover.)
I feel you guys. My 4* cyclops was 5/1/5. It’s been that like for months. I finally got a yellow during the civil war event. I expect many more red or blue covers coming my way before I get my last yellow cover.
I’ve been in the same situation with Hulkbuster. I remember getting my second red cover for him, bringing him to 2/5/5 and leveling him to 250 in the hope that I’d eventually get that last red and I could champ him…that was six months ago. Now whenever a boosted week rolls around I frown at him in disgust knowing that all he is is a tanky, self-damaging red battery with a limp Repulsor Punch. I’ve pulled about a half dozen blue and black covers for him in the meantime.
As a less frustrating example I’ve endured the same situation with Carnage’s (2/5/5) red as well, I’m just not as impatient to champ him as I am Hulkbuster.
Phoenix is the one that sticks out for me. I have pulled ten green covers, seven red and only two purple… But now I have the 720 CP I need to buy a third purple.
I’m starting to get my first dupes and it really sucks, i know it’s gonna get much worse. Got my first two last week: purple Miles and Deadpool (5/0/2 and 1/1/5 respectively), in a row… also pulled a yellow Cyclops (3/5/3) right before hitting the yellow cover from Civil War.
My Iceman is 0/5/1. I don’t have an exact number for you, but I have gotten somewhere between 12-14 blue covers to date. For the longest, I didn’t even have that one purple. It’s such a bummer, since he’s one of my favorite characters and he’s rendered unusable even though I’ve gotten 13-15 of his covers.
The silver lining is that I was able to beat Crash of Titans last time with him at 0/5/0, as his level 5 blue was useful enough in the one-on-one setting.
If I had to pick just one color for Iceman blue would probably be it. Purple supports the other two Powers, and green isn’t as scary withour Purple to prepare the board.
