Tips on my roster please

Unknown

So I played for a few weeks already, but never really visited the forums or read any guides at all and just build up my roster whenever I got a cover. This probably led to some mistakes or misleveling some characters and I'm not really sure who to put my ISO into.

Any advice on how to progress or if I completely screwed up a character is very welcome.

Right now I was just planning to push **Wolverine to max since I have all the covers (even though not optimal)

Here's my roster (27):
**** Wolverine (1/0/0) - lvl 30
*** Black Widow Grey Suit (1/0/0) - lvl 15
*** Dr. Doom (1/0/0) - lvl 15
*** Hulk (3/0/0) - lvl 25
*** Iron Man IM40 (1/0/0) - lvl 15
*** Loki (2/0/0) - lvl 15
*** Magneto (2/0/0) - lvl 15
*** Ragnarok (1/0/0) - lvl 15
*** Spider-Man (1/0/2 - lvl 15
** Bag Man (1/1/2) - lvl 9
** Black Widow Original (2/2/5) - lvl 15
** Bullseye (2/0/0) - lvl 6
** Captain America (2/2/3) - lvl 6
** Daken (1/3) - lvl 6
** Hawkeye (1/3/2) - lvl 9
** Magneto (2/0/1) - lvl 6
** Moonstone (2/4/3) - lvl 35
** Storm (3/1/2) - lvl 10
** Thor (5/2/4) - lvl 15
** Wolverine (4/5/4) - lvl 61
* Black Widow (5/5) - lvl 40
* Hawkeye (5/5) - lvl 5
* Iron Man (3/5/5) - lvl 50
* Juggernaut (5/5) - lvl 5
* Storm (5/5/3) - lvl 46
* Venom (5/5) - lvl 1
* Yelena Belova (5/5) - lvl 2

Well you could just go with pretty standard wolverine,Thor and original black widow team. I think you messed up by not leveling wolvie with 5 green which is his best skill (5/3/5 or 5/5/3 are his standard versions) but too late now. Your Thor has good amount of covers and you made a small mistake by leveling his green to 4 because you will almost never use that skill but he is still ok if you get his yellow to 4. Original black widow works well with Wolverine as her black espionage skill will trigger wolvies strike tiles twice making her essentially do double damage for her matches. Go for 3/5/5 build for her.

From what knowledge I've obtained from being on the forums and playing:

Modern Storm, Iron Man MK35, and Modern Black Widow are the best 1* characters at the moment, as you may have already noticed. Storm still finds some use later on thanks to her ability to shake up the board and generate AP.

The three 2* characters that will be quite handy in the near future are Wolverine, Thor, and Original Black Widow. People say that the best build for Wolverine is 5/3/5 (cheap strike tiles and auto healing is boss,. You can find way cheaper red skills late game), 5/5/3 for Thor (Call the Storm just costs too much for too little damage), and maybe 3/5/5 for OBW (less cost for stealing AP, and espionage gets quite fun later on). You can't go wrong with putting a lot of Iso-8 in those characters as they do their jobs pretty well. Don't worry if you don't have the "best" build. I have my Wolverine at 5/5/2 (whoops) and he's still usable with my strategy.

As for 3*, people love Magneto(haven't done too much research yet on him), Ragnarok (spam cheap red to get green cascades), and Spider-Man(healing). Not sure on their optimal builds, but if all goes well, I'll have quite a few spidys to experiment with in the next few hours. I've heard that GS Black Widow is great for damage, and I enjoy playing with Iron Man MK40 for his Recharge ability (6 yellow AP for up to 9 red AP). Loki got nerfed hard, I haven't seen Hulk around competitively too often, and I haven't really seen Doom at all, although he seems okay in Lightning Rounds.

For right now, I'd personally say try to level up those 2* characters and try to compete in events that have the 3* characters you want as efficiently as possible. Any new event that pops up in game gets torn apart by many forum members to get the best rewards possible, and all that information is there for the taking. I wouldn't have a clue on how to use Shields if I didn't use the forums, honestly. Now I'm at 1400+ and hoping for an Invisible Woman

Thanks for the input

Right now I'm just gathering some ISO in the lightning rounds and then will decide which characters to level.
I'll probably stick to Wolverine and Original Black Widow first and then see if I can get my Thor in shape

i would email them and ask them to split your thor covers so you can do 5/5/3 eventually. he's only level 15 so its not like you will waste that much ISO. i'd even do it with wolverine and give up the 61 levels of ISO.

i know that sucks, but wolverine/thor/storm is a pretty staple 2* team that will help you transition into 3*s, and 4/x/x wolverine is pretty bleech. the 3 AP cost for his green is a huge thing to have.

after you do this, just try to get as many 3*'s as you can from tournaments, and level up the ones you want to focus on. don't put more ISO into 2*s because 3*s take a loooooot of ISO to max and in another month you won't even be using 2*s.

the 2* builds, its not that big a deal what you've done, but having thor/wolverine properly skilled will help in the next month a lot.

Thanks, I'll try to do that with Thor.
Wolverine, not too sure. Considering the current ISO prices, that would be over $50 of ISO lost (even though I have just grinded it out) for something that might not even affect me as much since it's just a transitional character anyways. If I happen to run across the missing green cover by chance, I might think about it though.

It makes me sad to see new players like this get screwed because the game lacks a respec or even have the ability to judge what future ability unlocks will be so they can plan accordingly.

It's f'in cruel.
