    After pulls for MK , I’m stuck with a 0/5/5 Crystal . Progress shards will leave me with 2/5/5 minimum. I hate to hoard but am I stuck doing it until she leaves ? Only 7 of 9 LL covers are helpful now. 
    I try to champ each LL before they rotate out. Ideally without pulling any extra cover unless they are something I particularly like. But I’ve learned that it’s more realistic to expect them leaving at 451/452, either through extra pulled covers, or wonky distribution. Crystal does seem good enough that a couple extra levels beyond the bad distribution are worthwhile getting her champed. I have 2 saved covers already, and am waiting on shards to see where I am before pulling more

    Taking approximately 2 minutes each to clear the first two or three sub where you must use Black Widow or Red Guardian, and 3 minutes for the Black Widow and Yelena team up node. That's about 7-10 minutes for clearing 3 to 4 nodes in SCL 10. As a reference, 10 minutes would allow me to clear 3x each for CN, 4* and 4* nodes, which is equal to 9 nodes.

    Now my T10 placement is in jeopardy, with a difference of 5, 6 and 9 points behind me.

    i guess this must be my first time playing SCL10 Operation Spider Silk because I don't remember taking such a long time to clear one node.

    The 4 day Spider Silk is running for the first time this year so possibly you’re right .

    Got T12 for Operation Spider Silk.

    T10: 123399
    T11: 123388
    T12: 123377
    T13: 123377
    T14: 123357
    T15: 123357

    I decided to list T10-T15 because I thought the numbers look great. A consistent 2-3 minute delay cost you at least 20 points, if you play for speed.

    Lesson learned for this pve: ask for 4 powerful 5* teamup before you play this pve, so that you can finish the mandatory Black Widow/Red Guardian/Yelena node in 30 seconds.

    I got 29th and I don’t pay attention to speed . The reward difference is so minor I don’t see the point of having a video game run my life for such a petty increase in placement. But if others want to play your way it’s perfectly fine too, play anyway you like .

    I always save my 5* Prof X teamups for this event and Wakanda to do those stupid nodes on the main sub. It's best to ask for 5* Prof on the previous event so you have them ready to go. I remember one time I fought either Yelena or Winter Soldier and they killed me three straight times and then I didn't start the sub for like nearly ten minutes after it had started. I was like "Never again." So I just go in, collect teamup ap and then one-shot the enemy with red unless it's multiple enemies then I'll use his green for the aoe.

    I got killed in one of the nodes and that was 1 minute wasted. Thanks for the 5* Prof X recommendation. I was thinking of BRB's green or blue. Prof X looks really versatile, but it will most likely to be red or green choice.

    5* Scarlet Witch PVP. Every match drags endlessly. I even managed to lose to two seed teams  :open_mouth:

    Ya this PVP blows  and right after the America Chavez one too. I just hate Boosted 5 stars in PVP in general really ruins PVP in my opinion

    Would you rather face a changing list of boosted 5*s or an endless sea of Wanda & Colossus battles?

    I couldn’t be bothered. 5* PX team up for the win. Puck’s only value is he feeds Colossus.

    PVP as of late because The Devs thought it would be a fun idea to Boost 5 Star Kitty Okoye APoc and Immortal Hulk all at the same time. Thanks Devs PVP has been so much fun🙄

    I just pulled 35 LTs and only got two 5* covers. (1x MK, 1x Gargantos), which is abysmal.
    That said, not sure if it counts. I just realised I'm better off not hoarding LTs right now. I'm basically ~17 Emma Frost covers and 180 5* shards away from a fully covered Kitty. So even those 35 pulls actually helped lots for the shards. Go, Emma, go!
    Still, 2 in 35 is just sad.

    Yeah, that's really painful too.

    This happens too often to be random . I do a spicy 🌶 token pull about 5 times a month and 20% of the time the cover is pulled 40th.

    4 days after last post , exact same thing . Two consecutive Spicy draws , both covers on the 40th pick. That’s about 1600:1 chance of randomly happening

    Are you assuming each cover had the same chance of being pulled? I doubt that’s true since they show the stars on each reward. I fully expect the 4* cover has much lower odds than the 2* covers/rewards, so it is far more likely to not pull it until later in the series. And I’ve pulled many times where it comes in the first 5, or the middle 10, or the last 5, or yes, the last pull… so I think you’re just seeing the outliers unfortunately.
