If you log in at 12 you'll be screwed) and fight every seed team you can. Seed teams typically are level 1-21. Sometimes you'll see battleangel, skip that one. Once your nodes all have lvl 94 opponents you will know all the seed teams are gone. This will net you iso8 and covers to use. Rinse and repeat this process every 2 hrs for the next 48 hrs. This should give you enough 2* covers to start filling out your roster. Concentrate on obw and either thor or ares. Cstorm and mmags are also good but squishier. Once you have obw/thor you can get to the 400 pt pvp progression reward which is the 1st 25hp reward. That will allow you to start buying more slots. If your hurting for slots already dump venom, yelena & hawkeye. Keep storm ironman and mbw until you have a solid 2* roster then whether you keep them or not depends on you and your roster situation. Happy hunting. Obw build 355 thor build 355 ares you can mess around with I went 454 many will say 535.

The daily reward I collected today has lessened the gap a little (now I only need 200 for the next 2 slots), but I'm getting progressively worse placements in the events as I try to build up the roster. For instance, I could always earn a from PvP, even if I started early, won all the doable matches in my queue, and didn't go back to fight the impossible teams. Now, with First Avenger and Trial by Combat, I'm stuck below 300 in the rankings. I barely clawed up to 270, but got retaliated by Lv.94's and the queue decided "Well, you've gotten 200 points in the event, here are some 166 teams and teams with 7-10 covers for their X-Force. Have fun!" At this rate, random cover drops and the PvE are my only saving grace for getting a decent roster.
Mattfal wrote: Aaron, what time slice are you in where a 1-2 star transition player like you is matched against maxed 3* teams? I like 5/4/4 better on my cStorm. 1 extra turn of stun isnt a huge difference, but a few hundred more damage on her passive can b a gamechanger. Also, mnMags should b 4/5/4 because red and blue too expensive at 5 and purple is invaluable. Pve events can b a great place to get ISO and a relatively easy to get (depending on event) guaranteed 3* from progression.
