I’ve only done it for a few weeks, but it’s very un-fun for me. I guess I will just focus on my 3* farm for the most part, since I’m no longer making any progress on 5s, and very little progress on 4s (only progression prizes, login rewards and the rare prize from a heroic or event token).
Well, I’m almost to 20 Latest draws… just need another 280 or so until I can hope to win a Latest 5*. We’ll see. Then, I guess I’ll go back to opening regularly and hoping champion my Black Bolt, as well as Thanos and BP some day.
I feel that I have no choice if I want to get more championed 5s. I actually have three (OML, PHX and Cap). I just figured I can either spend a few years opening random tokens or hoard for just a few months (maybe 4 or so?) and actually get to a championed 5.
I don’t enjoy hoarding… I think it removes the fun part of the game (winning some 5* covers now), but it’s the only way I can think of to get to my goal (more championed 5*s) in a not-forever time period.
Unless you earn more than 260 pulls per 18 weeks (= 2 legendary pulls per day), then yes, hoarding is the only reliable way to get enough covers for a 5* before it disappears in the abyss.
Even if you don’t make 260 pulls per 18 weeks you still have to hoard. It just mean you won’t get every new 5* but you will eventually save enough for one. It’s the only way to beat RNG.
in my experience, opening tokens is the least fun part of the game. i started to hoard everything, and a bit of the fun of just playing returned for me. i got so tired of constantly being angry every 5 minutes from useless pulls. always the lowest possible outcome. rarely needed, and even if they were needed, they still belonged to one of the ‘golden 12’, and probably not a good one. for instance, i took a quick break to open 2 doc oc tokens, pulled a riri and an iron fist. so awesome… a couple of champ level older 4* would have been way better.
so, the plan is to hoard until i get to 3-5 million iso and then try to champ a couple 5*.
@Bowgentle with your calculations for the magical 2 latest pulls per day, does that include hitting 1200+ on all three weekly pvps?
I usually can only do that on Wednesdays if at all, because my evening schedule rarely allows me to do multiple shield hops. And I never do it on off-season PVPs, because those are a huge pain, since less people play them. But yes, now that I have champed 5*s, I’m finally getting good queues (as long as there are some that aren’t Thanos/BP… hopefully I figure out how to beat them with my current roster soon).
But yeah my 3* champion farm is helping to make up for that! LTs plus 15 cp at high champion levels is a great help! Also as long as I grind enough, the additional CP in PVE is helpful as well.
Yeah 1200 is a given.
It shouldn’t be a problem, even though OML/Phoenix probably requires a shield at 1100 and a hop these days.
90-120 minutes should be plenty of time.
