When it comes to incomplete characters, there’s almost always one color that the game keeps force-feeding me, and I was reminded of this when I beat Crash of the Titans today and my LL token was YET ANOTHER black cover for my 2/5/3 Eddie Brock (+4 saved black covers now). I’m sure it’s the same for a lot of folks, so who are your worst offenders?
I know that my 2/2/5 (+4 saved) Dazzler is barely convinced colors besides green exist.
And my 2/2/5 (+4 saved) Nebula feels the same way about red.
My Cyclops (5/3/2 + 3 saved) actually started off with 9 red covers before I ever saw a blue or a yellow (and before saved covers existed).
Quake is another character for whom I may only have 3 saved green covers on her 5/4/4 build, but I burned away a LOT of extra greens before the days of saving (and at least I did finally manage a 13 cover build for her recently, though I haven’t champed her).
This was way before cover save became a thing but I remember before I champed Teen Jean, I swear I must have pulled over 20 Purples before I had her fully covered. It was maddening.
Lately it’s been Cable blue. He hit 10/1/1 last night. It’s getting to the point where I’m starting to fear when purple comes up from a LT, because it feels like it’s always just another Cable blue.
I got a ton of Vulture black covers before I managed to champ him, too. He was stuck at something like 5/3/3 for ages while I had to just keep tossing black covers, since that was before saving was an option.
My first ever decent side hoard pull it was Blade green. Out of ~120 pulls, including BH hits, I think I got 8 greens. I did end up fully covering him.
Red Hulk’s red and until recently Venom (Eddie’s) yellow. But I got around my Venom problem with Loki and currently hoarding 3* Thor covers so I can get my last cover for Red Hulk. Outside of those everyone else in 4* land is champed, fully covered or fairly even.
Pre-saving, I couldn’t stop getting blue Nick Fury’s or purple Spider-Woman. On a much smaller scale, a few lopsided 5*s. My 6/1/1 DareDevil, 7/3/2 ghost rider, and a 5/2/1 Okoye come to mind, though that’s hardly a 10/1/1 lol
My memorable one was Doctor Strange 3*; felt like I had blue covers departing on the stack on a daily basis by the time he was finally champed - must have burned through 15+ excess waiting for the right pulls.
My Nightcrawler is champed, so I wouldn’t call it any kind of burden, but one week it got to the point where if I pulled any more of his covers, they’d have to announce it as part of the morning’s weather report.
For a while my Okoye was a mighty 0/5/0. I tried pulling as much as I could while it was still possible to have dupes swapped, but of course I only got more yellows after that window closed. By that time I had gotten a few black and red covers, but it wasn’t until she got a feeder that I managed to champ her.
I used to get a heck of a lot of Phoenix green covers back when she was fairly new too. I could probably have rostered two dupes if I hadn’t decided that was a waste of roster space…
