So, this is what I have. Thoughts on directions? I'm currently saving ISO until I get more 2* Torch or 2* Widow covers. There's potential to sell 2* Hawkeye after the changes, since I mainly used him to cover colors and Avoid into loaners to extend my playing time, but I am going to do adequate testing first.

3/5/5, Level 94, 2* Magneto
5/5/3, Level 94, 2* Wolverine
2/0/1, Level 74, 4* Wolverine
5/2/3, Level 70, 2* Black Widow
2/0/2, Level 63, 3* Hood
4/4/5, Level 62, 2* Hawkeye
2/5/5, Level 50, 1* Iron Man
5/3/5, Level 50, 1* Storm
1/1/1, Level 45, 3* Psylocke
0/1/1, Level 43, 3* Captain America
1/0/1, Level 43, 3* Captain Marvel
1/1/0, Level 43, 3* She-Hulk
1/0/1, Level 43, 3* Storm
1/5/1, Level 41, 2* Human Torch
0/1/2, Level 40, 3* Falcon
2/0/0, Level 40, 3* Hulk
0/1/0, Level 40, 3* Human Torch
1/0/0, Level 40, 3* Magneto
5/3, Level 38, 2* Bullseye
2/0/4, Level 31, 2* Storm
3/2/0, Level 15, 2* Daken

    Short term: Looks like your best 2* duo is Wolverine and OBW. I'd level OBW first... she's probably my most-used 2* for both PvP and PvE. Alternatively, you can wait for r60 and see how Hawkeye synergizes with MNMags (my guess is that it's decent but not top-tier). Daken also may be worth investing in after r60 hits, especially if long play sessions are what you want. Daken+Wolvie make a decent 2-man combo.

    Long term: The glaring holes in your roster appear to be Ares and Thor, who are both worth investing in. It might be a good idea to grind some simulator for 2* Thor/Ares covers. NorthernPolarity sees the current top tier 2* team as Thor/Ares, Torch, and OBW. I tend to agree, and that's the team I'd recommend building towards.

    Thank you for the input. icon_e_smile.gif

    My luck getting those Thor and Ares covers has just been bad icon_lol.gif I think I have maybe gotten two of each and I ended up throwing them away for multiple covers in other characters. Now that I have some expendable characters (like 1* Storm), I'll probably open up a slot and try and max each of those out.

    I would also recomend keeping 1* storm over 1* Iron Man. At your level you should be able to use the TU each time with Storm and she should pair well with 2* Daken who will produce strike tiles for you. Ares is still probably the best 2* as his green can 1 shot a lot of 3* characters and his yellow is really strong as well. If you play a lot of PVE and the prologue you will get a lot of standard tokens which should lead to more 2* covers to build up your roster.

    Yeah, what they said - keep grinding those 2* covers. Wolverine is decent for a fast strike time, but nothing beats Ares and Thor at the 2* level for a sustained push. Also, you probably want to respec your OBW - Aggressive Recon is just so much easier to get at 3 covers than 4 or 5. The 3/5/5 build is pretty much mandatory, I'm afraid. But you need more covers.

    PVP is a great place to get them. You'll get a cover a bit over a third of the time, and a third of the time you get a cover, you'll get a 2* - so the chance is about 1 in 9 each time. Also, get to 300 every PVP - that's a 2* (at least) guaranteed. You can also play in the lightning rounds - if you enter in the first few minutes you can fight the seed teams for at least 4 or 5 fights.
