Which Hero Should Open Super Packs?


Ad Astra

I got some Super Packs in the store, but obviously I don't know what I have yet. I am not sure if some of the goodies I get will be restricted by 1) which of my heroes opens it or 2) which hero claims the items.

If the Super Packs use the email system, then it probably does not matter who opens the packs.

However, the email system is pretty severe, and it is easy to make a mistake. Since I do not know what all of the goodies that I might get actually do in any given instance, I do not want to claim a goodie and find out that the hero that claimed it cannot use it, but too bad, only the character that claims it gets to use it, and it cannot be sold or what have you, so you are stuck.

What should I be aware of in that regard so that I can avoid learning things the hard way?

Any one of your toons can open them. The costume bits and black wolf are unlocked account wide, and the other things that you can obtain can be claimed by any toon, hero or villain on your account through e-mail. Whatever you open is not restrcited to the character that opened it.

No idea what the above poster means...lvl does not matter for the packs.

There is at least one character bound item in the pack (Catalyst) but that's only for when you Claim them, not when you open the packs.

As others said, it doesn't matter who opens the packs.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

Yeah, the having to log into a character to claim and open the packs is just pointless busy work. All the items go back into your e-mail when you reciev them, then you can claim them on whatever characters you like.

Thanks, TJ, that is the sort of thing I need to know!

Maybe they were trying to simulate the busy-work that happens when you buy a pack of CCG cards in real life. It usually involves wasting a few seconds each ripping open the wrapping and sorting through the cards.

Back when I used to play Magic I remember there were people who claimed that half the fun was opening the packs and anticipating the surprise of finding out what they got.

It still is half the fun - and that goes for "opening" superpacks as well.

Agreed. I would never use the "Automatically Flip All Cards" option, though I do flip the first three in rather quick succession since they are usually commons or uncommons.

Oh Geez, so wrong to post when you are super tired.
What I meant was, when in doubt, use a level 50 toon just to be safe.
