Im working on transitioning to 3* and have a pretty good start, but Ive built iso reserves (almost 30k) and would love some input on where to spend it. Here's my current roster:

IM40: 5/4/3 at lvl 90
Thor: 5/5/3 at lvl 84
Rag: 2/5 at lvl 77 (cover capped)
Wolv: 5/3/5 at lvl 70
GSBW: 5/3/5 at lvl 66
Spidey: 3/3/4 at lvl 66

Pun: 3/2/3 at lvl 30 (with red in cache)
Hulk: 3/2/2 at lvl 15 (with green in cache)
Doom: 3/0 at lvl 15
C.Mag: 1/0/2 at lvl 15
Hood: 1/1/1 at lvl 15

Several misc 2*s between 30 and 40
Bagman: 1/2 at lvl 6

Thanks!
MM

    Just out of curiosity, how long have you been playing?
    I have 4 high level ** (2 cappd), but my *** roster looks nowhere near as good as yours icon_cry.gif
    Just wanna know if I'm being terribly unlucky or it just takes more time. icon_e_wink.gif

    On and off since Oct (dont recall exactly, but I think it was a couple days after release). Got some lucky pulls, pushed hard in a couple tourneys where I punched over my level and reached the 1100 progression rewards when they were 500HP which allowed me to build my Rag (although after I pushed him to 5 red with HP Ive pulled 3!!! red covers).

    PS I have a decent stock of HP built (about 2k), and while I would rather not spend it quite yet feel free to advise where that might be best applied.

    If that's 5 thunderclap on rag, you can't go wrong with GSBW. Spidey is also good.

    Agreed. Spidey definitely worth it, regardless of whether Rags is 2/5 or 5/2.

    If that is a 5 Red Rag then i would say GSBW. Spidey is good but until you get his Blue maxed he isn't going to be as valuable no matter his level. With your current spidey I would say he is best used for an occasional heal. But at 4 Ap for a stun it won't make for an effective stun lock which is his primary purpose. But Rag and GSBW are a great team from what I hear (still working on my rag). They might allow you to do really well in some lightning rounds and further expand your *** options.

    GSBW or Spidey are going to be your best bet for the ISO. I would also recommend using some of the 2k HP to get Spidey to at least 4 Blue. That's the point where he moves to being able to get a stun on every standard blue match, which allows your team to start punching way above their weight class. Even a maxed out Rag and GSBW have no chance against a well-built level 50 Spidey if they can't move.

    Time to update this, with a bit of a peek towards the next couple batches of tourneys/events.

    Here is the new roster:
    IM40: 5/4/3 at lvl 90
    Thor: 5/5/3 at lvl 84
    Rag: 2/5 at lvl 77 (cover capped)
    Wolv: 5/3/5 at lvl 70
    GSBW: 5/3/5 at lvl 66
    Spidey: 3/4/5 at lvl 75

    Pun: 3/2/3 at lvl 30 (with red in cache)
    Hulk: 3/2/2 at lvl 15 (with green in cache)
    Doom: 4/2 at lvl 28

    Still got my ~2k HP and am up to about 35k ISO. Is it still best spent on Spidey? I dont generally use him as he just slows down the kill, but occasionally toss him out there to heal up, so I would prefer to boost a damage dealer.....for that, GSBW?

    Thanks!

    Yes same advice as before, keep developing Rag, GSBW and Spiderman, it's a great all round 3* team. With your high lvl IM40 you should have a good shot at winning your last Spiderman blue cover from the current tournament, you could then spend some HP on Rag if you wanted to up his damage a bit more.

    Sounds good. Just needed to check. It just feels like boosting Spidey wont help with winning matches, maybe scaring people off and/or lowering my need to use health packs but not the actual killing or placing. I took #1 in DS last time (good end time for me) and hope to pull my final blue. Plus I boosted Rag to 5 red with HP....and have pulled 3 red Rag covers in the two weeks since. Grrr.

    Roughly where is the break point for GSBW replacing Wolv as the best compliment to Rags in a 2 person team (assume the third is given...and junk)? If Im looking to LRs, does that change anything (ie boost DD)?

    Thanks!

    Don't prioritize Spidey over BW.

    You need BW strong so her green can 1shot theweaker team members so you don't have to collect enough green for 2 shots (which effectively doubles your match time).

    Also, Spidey doesn't gain much from leveling. The stun is just a stun and works the same no matter what level he is. The passive doesn't do much when rag/BW is ending matches in 6- turns. His healing can always be done in a no-pressure pve repeatable vs low level enemies.

    Spending the HP on green rag isnt bad either, since your rag is level capped. At higher levels it's pretty good damage actually considering how cheap it is, and lets you bash the higher hp guys to the point widow can shoot them all in one shot.
