Spotlight Caches in MARVEL SNAP are special rewards that can help you unlock rare and powerful cards. Understanding how they work, optimizing your approach, and planning your cache usage can give you a significant edge. This guide covers everything you need to know about Spotlight Caches and how to use them effectively.

What are Spotlight Caches?

Spotlight Caches are a type of Marvel Snap reward that allows you to access cards and other important goods such as variations, credits, and boosters. They can be located along the Collection Level growth path, typically beginning around Collection Level 500. Each cache contains a fixed set of rewards, but the emphasis is frequently on new cards that are difficult to obtain via regular ways.

The Spotlight Caches are essential for obtaining new Series 4 and Series 5 cards, which are among the rarest and most powerful in the game. Unlocking these caches allows players to access a larger pool of cards and create more flexible decks.

All Types of Rewards in Spotlight Cache

While the specific contents of Spotlight Caches can vary, here are the most common types of rewards you can expect:

New Cards: The primary reward, with a focus on Series 4 and Series 5 cards, which are typically more difficult to obtain.

Variants: Spotlight Caches often contain variants of existing cards, which offer a new look for your favorite heroes and villains. These are purely cosmetic but can be appealing to collectors.

Credits: Essential for upgrading cards and increasing your Collection Level, credits are a staple reward in Spotlight Caches.

Boosters: Used to upgrade specific cards, boosters are commonly included as well, though they are less valuable than credits and cards.

How to Earn Spotlight Caches?

Spotlight Caches correspond to your Collection Level development. Spotlight Caches will appear intermittently as you go, with longer intervals becoming more often as your Collection Level climbs. Caches arise about every 120 Collection Levels, though the frequency varies significantly depending on your current level and game advancement.

Spotlight Caches can also be found in special events or limited-time specials, so keep a look out for Marvel Snap announcements and updates. While the majority of your Spotlight Caches will come from regular play, these additional sources can help you accumulate substantial rewards.

Strategies to Judiciously Use Spotlight Caches

It is recommended to approach Spotlight Caches with a plan to increase your chances of collecting the most helpful cards. Here are some recommendations to help you get the most out of your Spotlight Caches:

Open in Batches – While it may be tempting to open Spotlight Caches as soon as you get them, saving a couple and opening them in batches can be more beneficial. Doing so reduces the randomness of the rewards and enhances your chances of getting a new card, especially if you’re looking for certain Series 4 or Series 5 cards. Opening batches also reduces disappointment. Because rewards are randomly created, opening multiple Spotlight Caches at once increases your chances of receiving anything you want or need.

Prioritize Connection Goals – Before opening Spotlight Caches, decide which cards you wish to target. If you’re hunting for specific cards to complete a deck or improve a specific strategy, explore caches only when you have a good chance of finding them. For example, if you want a specific Series 5 card, consider waiting until the card pool is smaller or you’ve unlocked other viable cards to increase your odds of acquiring it.

Use the Token Shop to Track Collection Level – In Marvel Snap, the Token Shop allows you to use tokens to target certain cards, which can help you with your Spotlight Cache strategy. If you are missing critical cards for a deck, you can purchase them directly from the Token Shop, eliminating the need to unlock Spotlight Caches for them.
