IF
Character is not champed
AND

THEN
Adjust RNG to 3000% to open tokens to get above character in above color

Sounds like bad luck…

4* Black Cat confirmed!

I drew many many many WM Reds. It was not fun. But eventually I was able to champion him. Now, I will probably not draw any more WMs ever, but that’s fine.

Now, I’ve been drawing lots of Kate Bishop Purples! And throwing them away, because really… 5 is enough! At least until I have 13 covers!

I’m guessing that I’ll start drawing a bunch of Power Man Reds soon, since I have five of those as well.

That was quick. I just posted a concept for her last week (https://forums.505go.com/discussion/58507). Good to know I have that much pull! icon_lol.gif

I looked over my roster and counted that I have 21 covers at 5, not counting champs. If there are 43 4*s, theres 129 possible covers. So I have a 21/129 (16.2%) chance of getting of dupe. Thats almost 1 in 6. Its just going to happen. Recently I’ve just been pulling champ rewards or 1000 iso.

I recently opened a hoard of CPs (and by hoard I mean 360 CPs) and got really excited because in that hoard I got:

All dupes. All dupes of covers on characters who are close to or well below 13 total covers. so, out of 18 pulls only 8 usable covers. I cried myself to sleep that night.

RNG hates me.

Yeah, I just did my own season mini-hoard. 8 tokens.

Of them, 37.5% wasted. No 5*'s. icon_rolleyes.gif

To be converted to 3000 iso:

    I very much want a usable Medusa, and mine is at 3/2/5

    Mine is at 5/2/5.

    My Flaptain America is at 13 covers, but haven’t seen him as a leveling priority.

That he had saw the source code. Joking, obviously. But, apparently there was fear someone would take it literally.

In my case I counted any 13 cover non champion as 3 dupes potential (how likely it is I will get the iso - it takes about 2 weeks to max one). So if we have 43 4* for 129 covers possible my stats are a bit depressing. 63 of the 129 will give me champions levels and that is ok. But of the 66 remaining 38 would produce a duplicate cover (about 30% of the general pool of covers). So I am looking for only 28 covers for 4* in this game. Championing one character every two weeks is helping a bit but not by much.
…

Damn… now i feel depressed about this process.

I’ve noticed that most of my 4*'s have one ability at 5, and it tends to be the same color you get for the 4* reward in story mode. I’ve had Nick Fury for over 2 years, and he’s stuck at 2/2/5. Very frustrating, but what can you do?
