Update: 5-Star characters are the strongest characters in the game, but they’re also some of the rarest. We’ve received a lot of positive feedback from players, telling us that Saved Covers has been a lot of help, but we’ve also heard the feedback on how we can improve the feature. Waiting for 5-Star covers to be saved can mean a long time before they level up, so we want to make this experience a bit better for players.
Following this Wednesday’s (6/20) patch update, 5-Star characters will only require 3 saved covers, in order to trade them in for a new level in any of that character’s powers. Please note that if you already have 4 or 5 covers saved, prior to this change, the display will look a bit odd afterwards, but your covers will be safe. Once you redeem those covers, then the maximum changes to 3.
Hi Everyone,
Getting a new character cover is supposed to be an exciting occurrence, and most of the time it is! You open up that shiny pack, or compete in a hard-fought event, and earn a brand new cover; growing your roster stronger because of it.
Other times though, you hope to find that last 13th cover to complete a character’s power set, only to discover it’s a power you have 5 covers in already. We understand that can be frustrating, so we want to make that a better experience for players moving forward.
On June 18th in R155, we’re introducing a new feature called Saved Covers.
Saved Covers allows you to store covers you aren’t able to use, in order to convert them into another power’s level.## Details:- Available only for 2-Star characters and higher.
Covers can be saved on non-Champion characters, who have less than 13 total covers.
Covers that are saved, before a character is Championed, are automatically converted into Champion levels once the character is Championed. This way, no covers are lost if you happen to find that last 13th cover while working to save five covers.
If you have a Championed character and another recruited character with five levels in a power, you can add the cover as a Champion level, save the cover for the un-Championed character, or recruit a new character.
Selecting the “star” in the right corner of the cover in the Reward Cache screen will give you the option to add the Champion level or recruit the character.
Saving the cover can be done when viewing the un-Championed character in your Roster Screen.- Saved covers can’t be used to Power Shift powers. (Power Shifting is when you remove one level in a power in order to increase the level in another power.)
We hope that you all enjoy this new feature!
5 saved covers are converted into 1 usable cover. Correct. If you are saving covers, then manage to pull the last cover you need, then those saved covers will each become Champion levels, once you Champion the character.
Good feature unlike Supports. Took a few years but it’s finaly here. AlexNapalm asked a interesting question. I am guessing CS covers swaps will end soon.
@Brigby so you are saying that ALL cover willl be converted into champ levels once you champ them?
So my 8/0/7 IM46, I pull 15 more red and yellow covers, those could be converted into blue. Then once I champ IM46 to 450 he would be 465? Is that right?
You’re saying 5/0/5 with 5 extra covers, then another 15, so 20 total. So you’d save the first 5, go 5/1/5, get 5 more, etc etc. You’d end up with a 5/3/5 character and still have 5 covers in the bank. You can’t Save covers on a 13 cover character, so not quite.
I see the downside but also see a huge plus. Covers that were previously sold have a chance to be used if the rest of the 13 valid covers are obtained. I don’t have any problems with that. If I can’t get my 13th cover over time, so be it. At least I can get a cover I want instead of a few iso.
“A maximum of five covers can be saved to a single character.”
Just to clarify…does this mean the saved cover feature only works on one character at a time?
Meaning if I have extra covers I can’t use for Wasp, Xavier and Gambit I have to choose just one of those characters and start storing covers for them. The other two characters cannot use this new feature?
