so i have like 500k+ iso and that means i can max 5 3* covers of mine but i can also max my xforce up to 270 and 1 3* to max.
But i dont think there will be a xforce pvp so dont know if its smart to use all that iso on xforce .
so whatdo you people think is best ?

  • I've recently become a fan of roster diversity. So, if you've already made the transition from 2* to 3*, then I say max out 3 of those 3* characters and add more diversity to playing. Otherwise, if you are already a 3* player and have some 3*'s already maxed, do xforce and a 3*.

    Without knowing the rest of your roster and how many other max covered characters you have that is difficult to answer.

    There is a point where diversity tops arguably the single most powerful character.

    A maxed X-Force is a deterrent in PvP. But so is Sentry/Daken/Hood.

    Need more information to make a informed decision.

    2 things it really depends on your roster and who you are looking to max out and 2 you should put this post in Tips and Guides as that is what that section is for. X-Froce is going to be a beast for the forseable future so if you have a lot of 3* in the 140-166 range you can go for X-Force. If you are taking 3* from the 90's to 166 you might want to go the 3* route as your roster might not be deep enough. You mught be able to survive with X-Force+1 in PVP but it not having diversity might kill you in PVE since PVE is based on your overall roster. Please add what 3* you have that you are thinking about leveling so we can give you some better advice.

    X-Force has diminishing returns over level 200. Over level 200, he's formidable. Same with Nick Fury.

    Once you get him to 9000 health, you pretty much have 95% of him. You could use that ISO to get him to level 270, or you could level two or three 3* characters.

    Listen to this guy. Ultimately though, it depends on your roster. Just like the xforce, maxing out 3*s also have diminishing returns in that the last 30 levels costs you 75k iso, which is almost the same amount of iso it cost you to go from 40 to 133. Therefore, the only characters actually worth leveling to 166 are the ones that you will consistently use outside of events that their featured in (basically top tier characters like daken sentry bp etc). Would need to see your roster before we can give any more advice.

    Drawbacks to X-Force, Deadpool, Fury, Human Torch, and Psylocke.

    They all have great Team-Up powers. If you put up an X-Force, Fury, Deadpool team, you will be seen as a difficult but delicious banquet feast.

    I had barely 100 points in the latest tourney and got attacked over 30 times.

    You can add icon_blackpanther.png to your list too - Pantherslaps are great TUs and experience suggests he's not much of a deterrent.

    I am a huge fan of roster diversity. If I had that much ISO, ever 3* would get leveled first, then the 4* characters.

    I'm in the same boat except I have no iso icon_e_sad.gif I'm planning on maxing BP and then on NP's "get everyone to 133" plan before I really touch x-force. Basically just gonna collect iso and spend it as underleveled featured guys come around.

    Of those I would only consider maxing BP and maybe Patch. Patch is weaker without imba mags, and Hulk is worse now since X-Force destroys him. I would max BP, get X-Force to 222 or whatever, and then go on the 133 plan for you. Actually, it depends on your other characters: if they aren't high level (say below 110) then the 133 plan probably is better since you want them most of the characters featured in a tournament to be intimidating. On the other hand, if they are all high level enough to be intimidating when featured, then you might as well max out X-Force and make him maximum intimidating.
  • X Force should not be taken to a level where his highest match is higher than a level 166 because this puts you in a positon where all mirror matches against max covered X Force are significantly disadvantageous to you, because X Force's strongest color is green, and green is bad against another X Force (unless they also have X Force as the highest then it's just 50/50). The only way to prevent this is having a featured character that's even higher than X Force which is expensive, or have a level 270 Nick Fury who really isn't quite as good as X Force or some of the other 3*s.

    Max Hulk, Patch, BP all playable for PVP. Hulk/BP also great with XF. Psylocke quite fun for PVE.
    IMO, stop leveling X-Force at 221 for that's when his green 78 and HP 9K. No huge diff with 270 in term of HP, match tile&skill damage.
    Green 78 means when u pair him w hulk, hulk will still tank red and green (generate lot of green from anger).
    With ur rosters u will have lot of XF partners (Hood,Hulk,Daken,C.Mags,BP) icon_e_biggrin.gif
    Have fun icon_e_wink.gif
