Go ahead feel free to list ..it's mostly opinion though.

I'd say moonstone , daken(2*) , bullseye , the black widow 2*, storm 2* (not the classic one) , HawkEye 2* ,juggernaut and some would add Loki even though he's a 3* .

Me personally I def forgotten who but I'm missing some cards on purpose and wish I didn't have moonstone (cause selling her cards was better ) , bullseye is ok but I don't bother but I'd even add 2* cap ???though he could be good .

Loki I have to say would be trash if he weren't able to get higher in rank and health ..I haven't seen him at full strength maybe he's truly a pain but he's def a weak threat ..

Plz feel free to share your opinions ...

When you win cards what ones do you keep and what ones do you keep until you need room (delete them for space) or just sell right away for iso ?

Oh also almost forgot venom ..and while I keep some character like spidey I find them useless .

Comments

  • Daken is not terrible enough to auto-trash. He is still semi-useful. There is also only one 2* Storm, which is Classic. I think you mean Modern? And OBW? You sir need to be put into an asylum. Juggernaut IMO is the second best 1* in the game. Has HP comparable to that of a maxed 3 power 2*. Cheap and powerful cascade/board reset potential. Cheap and painful damage.

    First up, are you talking new covers or ditching existing characters?

    I'm selling every 1 and 2* I receive now because I've got all the ones I want maxed (apart from Torchling [too new] and CHawkeye [new tank team member]). I don't have Bullseye, Bagman, Juggs or Venom on my roster and that's not going to change icon_e_wink.gif

    If we're getting rid of existing characters, I wouldn't really lose any of them. They've all got their uses and in this era of "roster diversity" even **** you wouldn't normally use can get trotted out in PVE as a meat shield if nothing else.

    What I like to keep:

    - All 4 and 3 stars for collectors value and actual use in tourneys.

    - Useful when buffed 2-star character. Or those good in heroic pves. (Storm, Ares, OBW, Thor, Wolverine, 1-star Storm)

    - Sometimes mandatory 2-star heroes in PVE nodes (captain america, human torch, magneto)

    - Some one star heroes for tanking. Keep them at level 1 for easy suicides.

    I also keep Daken because I have him maxed but he is inferior to his lazy brother even if buffed. Maybe if he became an option in heroics he would be good but so far that has not been the case. Also I have full covered Hawkeye waiting to be buffed. If he becomes good maybe he is worth using in Heroics or whatnot.

    I sell others because they are not useful even when buffed and never mandatory in PVEs. These include:

    Bagman, Moonstone, Bullseye and the rest of 1-stars.
  • Depending on where you are in the game, 1* covers are plentiful, and you could sell them if you need the roster room.
    Bullseye, Hawkeye 2* I'd consider sells. The rest really depends on your roster composition.
    Moonstone, loki are probably sells, although I use both of them myself.
    Original black widow. Her covers are relatively plentiful, and I've sold many of them due to lack of roster room. Am partially regretting it now as I'm trying to find more of her covers.

    I've sold some less useful 3* like Falcon.

    Bagman, Yelena, Venom I've found almost completely useless. Am sad I wasted so much iso on bagman before selling him.

    For players who already have a high-level 2* team:

    Sell:
    - CHawkeye: the suck.
    - Bullseye: superbuffed Bullseye can make annoying Protect tiles, but Bullseye is never buffed in your favor.
    - Ragnarok: tanky, with some board control and some green generation, but there are much better 3* characters.
    - Yelena: the suckier suck.
    - Bag-Man: the butt of all jokes, but a couple of recent PVEs made him the most potent allowed CD-tile counter.
    - Loki: generally terrible, but useful in precisely two situations (with/against Patchneto, and occasionally against Sentry Sacrifice)
    On the fence:
    - Moonstone, 2* Cap, IM35: regularly buffed in PVEs
    - X-Force: trophy
    - MHawkeye: not an auto-sell solely due to impending buff ("impending" = "maybe within the next 3 months")
    - Daredevil: also buffed in some PVEs, precisely 7 people find him fun to play, and the occasional one-hit KO by an enemy Daredevil reminds you that Captain Russian Roulette packs some wallop.

    Hey, I like playing Bagdevil!

    And Moonstone...

    And Loki...

    Maybe I have a problem? icon_eek.gif
  • Both Moonstone and Loki have Pink Black powers, which are less frequent, and good for balancing teams on attack.

    Moonstone's Gravity warp is fun, but few people have the patience to learn how to use it right.
    Similarly for Loki's illusions. I've never gotten enough Daredevil covers at once to keep him.

    So you've sold daredevil bc you didn't get more than one at a time ? Lol (seriously asking not mocking just FYI bc the internet doesn't show how I sound with my response and it could sound negative ) .

    I always keep new cards bc I assume they'll be in the next pve/pvp but after that if I don't get a few covers I just leave them and figure one day I'll know whether it's a waste or not lol
  • Roster restrictions sadly. Plus Daredevil specifically didn't seem that great in combination with the other heroes on my roster. Had to make room for other more valuable 3*'s.
  • If you can afford it, keep at least 1 of every character. Granted some are useless in the actual game but you can always use them for tanking and who knows down the road - someone might get buffed or be required for nodes that could be the difference between a top 5 and a top 50 finish. That being said, Yelena and Bagman are so far down the totem pole that most people would rather 2 of another character and not see these 2 on their pages

    At this time, I have a 33 slot roster (I got my first LazyCap from the last PVE, I wanted to keep him for PVEs.) At this point, I have had all of the covers move through my hands at one point or another. The only 1* I've kept was MStorm, which I am glad I did particularly for the "Balance of Power" event. Out of the 2*s, I've scrapped Bullseye, Daken, and Bag-Man. Out of the 3*s I don't keep Daredevil and Ragnarok. I used to scrap Loki and Grey Suit Black Widow (both too specialized and high-end,) but I've started keeping them - I may scrap them in the future if I am seriously pressed for space and lack the HP.

    I don't have any maxed out 3*s, btw, so I may not be the best example. Hell, I only have one usable 3* - the Hulk at 10 covers.

    I'd say moonstone , daken(2*) , bullseye , the black widow 2*, storm 2* (not the classic one) , HawkEye 2* ,juggernaut and some would add Loki even though he's a 3* .

    If this list is for people with full 3* rosters, sure. For everyone else:

    Must keep:
    2* Black Widow, even with true heal, is the dominant support character of that level. Not only should she be kept, can make an argument to build multiple.
    2* Storm (combined with Mags) clears out goons in no time fast. Another pretty important character.
    2* Daken is about to become a lvl 94 character. Overall strength to be determined, but definitely worth keeping.
    2* Hawkeye is due for a buff (allegedly). His powers are nuclear as they stand, with CD's being the biggest detriment.

    Should keep if roster spots are not an issue:
    Juggernaut. Mostly for PvE, spot duty to be annoying in Simulator.
    Moonstone. Good HP, decent red nuke, and a purple damage dealer against those who don't use special tiles.
    Bullseye. Yes, Bullseye. He's only really useful when buffed in PvE, but mitigating match3 damage can make all the difference when managing health packs. Works nicely with mMags-cStorm combo, since you're collecting the purple anyway.

    I'm a bit of a hoarder, but the only characters I don't have rostered: Yelena, Venom, Bagman (started to build, didn't feel like paying another 550HP for a slot), and mBW (only redeeming quality is her stun, but I don't think she's worth it when OBW exists)

    Only other one I'd consider shedding is 2* Captain, who takes way too long to get going, and doesn't do enough damage when he does. No 3* is worth shedding, but yes, Loki's close.
  • The last simulator event, I caught a cascade from hell against the Patch/Loki node and next turn AI dropped Patch green followed by Loki's whatever and the board was full of swords and shields, none in my favor. I didn't last long from there.

    There is value to Loki, limited situations perhaps, but value.

    As for me, I keep every 3 star cover I get, it improves my featured character in PvP (lvl90 is more imposing than lvl60 on defense).

    For the 2 stars, no Bullseye or Bagman, haven't maxed Hawkeye, Moonstone, or Cap.

    The 1 stars are all gone, but I do plan to rebuild Storm, Juggs, and IM35 at some point

    Yup forgot bagman ..

    This list was more for ppl who are growing up the ranks or need space as they progress or just the cards you are less likely to use if you have a choice ...not really saying you have to trash any card .

    In my newb-friendly opinion:
    absolutely safest to sell when you have at least 3 maxed 2*s:
    Yelena (pale imitation);
    Bag-Man (worst there is);
    Venom (only semi-viable right now in Balance of Power due to being lvl 270 and almost being fun with the 3* Spidey who's 2 tiers away);
    Juggernaut (yes, he's fun at level 270 right now. So what? If you need slots, ditch the headbutt machine);
    Bullseye (he was buffed exactly once by now in a Story event and his protect tiles are super-weaksauce against anything decent anyway. I should know - there are some lvl 270 Bullseye teams in Balance of Power right now and Bullseye is still as pushover as ever, and his protect tiles do jack unless you are as kind as to let the AI keep them);
    IM 35 (as soon as you have any 2* tank/damage dealer in a usable condition, you won't need IM 35 ever. A.Wolverine/Human Torch/Ares/Thor/Daken and even Moonstone/cStorm run circles around him);
    cHawkeye (mBW/mStorm/oBW deal with CDs just as well or much better, but he's NOT bad if you have no one else. He's definitely better against goons than any other people on this list, but everyone else on this list is better than him for Versus events, too).

    I'd say mBW is okay to keep for Heroic events, oBW doesn't fully replace her, but she's easily rebuilt, too (only needs 2/5 to be useful).

    Edit: about Bullseye protection - he is NOT worth the slot just for his protect tiles. He only has one other ability which is used once a millennium, maybe. Unless you count 'being extra-squishy' as an ability. Your best defense is offense: stealing enemy's AP with oBW, killing the enemy as fast as possible with heavy hitters, stunning the enemy with ice blasts from cStorm, etc. NOT protect tiles. Protect tiles suck big time until you develop into 3* Captain America, Falcon, Spidey, etc.
