Need tips on 3* characters to keep

ForgedSteel

Been playing for a solid month or two, a F2P player. I'm currently transitioning to 3* and only have room for 3 characters. Can anyone chime in and give me advice on who to keep.?

All 3*
-spider man
-Captain marvel
-doc Oct
-magneto
-collossus
-human torch

If you would list highest to lowest that'll be much appreciated.

Magneto/Human Torch

Capt. Marvel/Colossus

Dr. Octopus/Spider-Man

Since spider-man is the reward in current PVE he'll probably be featured in the next PVE for the Essential nodes

Serious question, will that be the case if the Season is ending in a day or so?

The consistent pattern has been that the reward 3 star is needed as the required character for Essential nodes in the following PVE. PVE never really affects Seasons (except to drain health packs when they occasionally both end within an hour of each other)

Thanks red panda.

Between mag/torch and marvel/collossus, which team is a good transition team. I'm planning on grabbing one team and leaving the extra slot for the essential node character(spidey). TIA

I listed the characters as being roughly on the same tier.

Magneto can be useful in pve & pvp, fits well with lots of different team compositions

Torch has one of the best red attacks in the game, but low health and his red-black-green color format can conflict with lots of other good characters.

Captain Marvel can be annoying to deal with, so she could be useful on defense but her usefulness relies on her taking damage.

Colossus could be good at extending your playtime and health packs by reducing damage and protecting your low health characters, but his attacks are kind of expensive.

Spider-man doesn't have any damaging attacks but he can help reduce damage with his shields and stuns can be useful. He color complements Torch/Punisher/Hulk etc.

Doc Ock doesn't really do anything well or reliably. His active skills are expensive and don't do much damage. So far he only seems to pair well with Patch.

Check out the character rankings in the Character Discussion section to know who's worthwhile & consider buying more roster space with the current hero point sale.

First off, if you haven't built up all the important 2* guys (Ares, Thor, OBW, MNMags, CStorm, Torch, Daken, maybe Wolverine), I suggest doing that first and sacrificing your 3*. Having a deep 2* roster increases the rate of winning 3* covers over the long term. Since progression is slow in MPQ overall, you should definitely plan for the long term.

I'd reserve a rotating slot for the latest PvE prize (they will be essential to the next PvE), so keep Spiderman for sure. After that PvE is over, you should sell him for the event reward.

The rest of the list (from best to worst) probably goes: Magneto, Human Torch, Colossus, Captain Marvel, Doc Ock.

don´t want to ignore ForgedSteel´s post but i have a similar problem, since all the anniversary tokens give me a LOT of options...

what i got out of the tokens for now:
She Hulk
StormMohawk
Falcon /

and my 3* low-tier roster is:
Psylocke 1/1/0
CapMarv 1/0/1
Beast 1/0/1
Lthor 0/2/0 (not gonna let this one go!)

the above are only a selection of course, but still the lowest 3* i got.
BTW essential 2* are maxed- i´m currently in the 2-3* transition. of course falcon is the way to go for now, since there´s two covers available. main deal is: is it worth letting another one go for him?

thanks for the help, guys!

Beast & Mohawk Storm are sadly 2 of the worst 3 stars in the game at the moment. Neither one would make your transition to 3 stars effective. She-Hulk has some niche uses, especially in PVE when you get more covers. Psylocke works well for transitioning to 3 stars but gets overshadowed quickly. Falcon & Captain Marvel are mid-tier but definitely worth keeping.

I would recommend trying to keep as many useful 3 stars as possible by opening extra roster space, but if you need to drop someone i'd vote for Beast and/or Storm.

Thanks for the input guys really appreciate it. I ended up dropping doc Oct and Captain marvel. I've kept the rest and have spider man as a rotating slot. Fortunately I see gsbw is next on the list for PVE and I've already got2 of her covers. I ama solid 2* player W OBW THOR WOLVERINE DAKEN ARES MAG STORM HAWKEYE maxed at 96 w 200k ISO on stand by lol. I barely have enough 3* cover on patch to even have him playable.
