Was taking a nap this evening. Woke up so I could get some reading done, then decided to turn on my LTE and check what was going on in my line chat. On one of my mcoc groups, I learned that the rotating Cavs had started to feature. Turns out that the first iteration features G99 (my bae 🌚). Then there was someone in the group who said that he got some insane luck from those cavs, pulling 2 6*s from like 5 crystals or something. Then over in my ally group, I also got to know about the Cavs from one of my friends who knows about how much I want a 6* Guilly. So yeah, after a good 10 minutes of bickering and temptation, I succumbed.
Only thing is that I only had 2.8k units or so. I knew I could only get the first deal on July 4th regardless, but my predisposition was to then use the remaining units for act 6 exploration after buying the 1k deal.
After taking a good long look at the Cavs, I decided to start with the first one. 300 units out of the stash, and the results were... A 5* G99 dupe. Now she's Sig 60, but not quite the rarity I wanted, eh? Welp, decided that all hope isn't quite lost, and went for another. This yielded a 5* nexus! A little more interesting. This was quite a good nexus, and allowed me to awaken namor. Pretty good! Anyways, decided to go for yet another cav, and got myself a... Falcon dupe. Been looking for a dupe on him as well. I realized that all the 5* dupes gave me a 6* basic crystal immediately. So yeah, hopped over to the shards tab, and purchased the 6*. I rarely spun 6*s because of my awful luck; this time, I decided to take advantage of the string of (insert some flashy English word of which I can't think of right now). So yeah, I put it in the spinner, and tapped after 5 seconds or so. As it slowed down, I wasn't even looking at the reel. All I know is that it settled on my most wanted champ for a long time (excluding 6* Guilly of course) - a freaking. Red. Magneto!!!
That was surely the highlight. The first "bgt" 6* I've gotten. 6* crystal #40 is a freaking. Red. Magneto! I remember lamenting after the 7.2.1 modok boss disgraced me of how much I wanted a 6* mags even more. And now, I finally have him. My roster is now completely rounded (more or less), and mags is going straight to rank 3 (welp, soon anyway. Still need 10% of a mutant t5cc :P. And a ton of iso. But I have a mutant 1-2 gem I'd been saving for him).
Now, let's carry on, don't wanna make this much longer. But we're not even done yet. I did open yet another cav, and got... Another 5* nexus?! Shocking to get 2 in 4 crystals, lol. That's more than I'd get after a month of war season nowadays (#PlatRewardsNeedChange). But this nexus gave me a new sentinel. It's funny how I finally get the variant lords in Venom and sentinel
after exploring them all, but no complaints regardless. In the spirit of greediness, I opened two more Cavs and got myself 3*s
. But dear God, was I unbelievably lucky!
Missed out on 6* Guilly, but I believe I'll get her someday. Decided not to go below 1k units so I could still salvage it for July 4th. Here's a summary of the pulls:
Thanks for reading through, and have a great day/night!
