    I moved my 4* over to sabretooth now that Omega Red has launched. I had him at level 345 already, so i ended up with a cover and 1600 shards. I've pulled two 3* covers as well, but i've been dumping hp into the fan favorites vault so i'll have to wait to get him on roster for a bit.

    Hm, interesting stealth overhaul to the classic legends store - there is a rotating list of 3 5s with better odds, so if you pull a 5* it will have 14x odds of being one of those three (odds of pulling a 5* at all are ~1:6), and then there are also 3 4* characters with those odds over the others. This did not propogate to the 4* pool in Latest.

    So better 5* odds overall; nice!

    I wonder how often the increased odds trio will rotate?

    Surely there will be some kind of announcement with details

    Yet another gift to those of us who hoard CP and tokens.

    Nothing like improved odds even if it's only 2% more.

    I just pulled 25 Classics and six 5* covers. None of the increased odds 5s. I did get 3 Juggernaut covers and 2 Karnak covers from the increased odds 4s.

    How do you know they won't ever increase the odds again? Better keep hoarding!

    I can just ask them in the monthly questions thread ;)

    I've decided that Onslaught is my next target to champ but actually if the Devs read this thread then a trio of Banner/Onslaught/Daredevil would be just fab for next odds boost and/or special store! Thanks in advance, love and kisses!

    Onslaught is pretty good actually, so definitely go for it.

    I dunno how I got to where I am but I seem to be able to champ these old 5* without too much needing to use Classics (Deadpool and OML finished just this week, Black Panther last week) but if they are gonna offer better odds on anybody I am chasing then yay!

    Onslaught is great, but doesn't need to be champed to get use out of him. Removing all team up tiles is a huge boost for Shang Chi.

    These guys are all in tantalising positions (I have a bunch of other I will be working on after Onny) - 2 covers away so I can't resist getting 'em champed, needed or not.

    Shards and feeders filling in made a huge difference on chasing targeted 5* characters. The gimmic with classic for me is just steady, constant roster growth, and since i don't care who goes up a level when, i'm not stressed by dilution and in fact I sort of prefer full dilution for this type of play.

    Good lord you've just turned into me

    See everyone, this is what happens when you start pulling classics all the time -- it rots your brain, we all turn into Classics Zombies.

    For the last several months I have been pulling 50 Latests on rotation day and I have been baby champing the new 5*s before they rotate out. Yesterday I pulled just 30 because High Evolutionary and Gwenom are already champed and I have been slowly running low on Latests.

    So now my Dino is only 0/0/2. I have had Shang Chi sharded for awhile and I got 3 shard covers yesterday in 55 pulls. Now Shang Chi is my highest 5* at 485. I think I am going to give Shang Chi a shard break and switch to Dino until he is close or champed.

    I'll have to assume you played casually for your first 7 years?
    Cause if you were here before 5s you should be much further along on classics.

    I'm on day 3406 and still have 5 to champ.

    I'm in a similar state to you. Been here a bit shorter and have quite a few more I need to fully cover (at least a dozen including Surfer - LOL).
