Roster advice (and happy holidays!)

Hi all,

i'me back on the game after a little bit, and found some changes, hence an old question now gets some new meaning...who should I level? icon_e_biggrin.gif
Right now I am in the 2 to 3 star transition. Ares, OBW, Daken, Magneto MN, Storm Class, Thor MN, A. Wolvie are all maxed out nicely.
My roster:
Magneto Classic 5/3/4 is soft maxed at 153
Punisher 4/3/2 is soft maxed at 114
Hulk 4/3/4 is now lvl 102 (max 140)
X-Force 3/2/3 is lvl 90 (max 168)
Invisible Woman 4/2/3 lvl 70 (max 188)
IM 40 3/4/4 lvl 40 (max 140)

The rest are all at a lower number of covers (Spidey 2/4/1, Doom 1/5, BP 4/2/1, Psylocke 3/3/2, Patch 4/1/1, She-hulk 3/2/2, the rest of *** are all at 4 covers or less)
ISO available: 352k
Should I level some of the guys above (X-Force for example)?
I am only playing for free at the moment and I am in an alliance.

Another question is, should I always level up to the max level or keep a few levels between a tank (e.g. Hulk) and a damage dealer? In the earlier version, a *** needed 100 lvls to be better than a maxed **...how is this difference now that the levels have been increased?
Thank you all in advance! And...Happy holidays!

    A 3/2/3 X-Force is too weak to put iso into unfortunately. You want to level all of the guys that you actively use to max level, since higher levels are essential to not getting attacked as much in PvP. For the 2* vs 3*, I would say a guideline is that a 10 cover 3* at level cap (with at least 8 covers in their useful abilities) is roughly equivalent to a max covered / leveled 2*.

    Honestly, you don't have any good prospects to level. C. Mags and Pun are your best guys and are already capped. I really dislike Hulk for a transitioner, but since you have so much iso, if you find yourself using him in PvP / PvE, I guess you can put the iso there. IM40 is bad, especially a 4 yellow IM40: he might be good if you had him at 1 yellow. I would just save your iso and pump it into featured characters for PvP / PvE when they are featured.
  • thanks! Shame, I was hoping to be closer to reaching a nice *** team. I'll keep going :
    Happy holidays!

    I would definitely put some into the Hulk. Try to get top 100 this Daredevil PVP to get another black. 5/3/5 is best for him, but 4/3/5 is pretty good. It's no defense from X-Force, but it will keep a lot of lower teams from targeting you.

    Sadly, you can't get more cmags covers while he is in the vault, and you probably don't went to spend the 3750 hp necessary to get an optimal build for him. I would definitely level up hulk to 140 if you have the ISO. Between cmags and hulk you have a solid pairing that covers 5/6 colors and should be fairly intimidating in pvp. And with cmags already at 153, raising a second 3* probably won't hurt your pve scaling.

    As for a general ISO strategy, its probably worth waiting until you will get something useful out of leveling the character. So raising your 4*s isn't with the cost since they tend not to be good without 4 or 5 covers in their key abilities. Also, I would encourage you to pay attention to matching values when leveling. For example, hulk is MUCH better when he tanks more colors and has more opportunities to trigger anger. So I would try to avoid leveling anyone else above hulk's red/green/black for now.
  • Thanks! I get the point with the Hulk... With regard to the ISO I have a fairly good amount to invest so I will probably level him (more for sake of actually spending some iso hehe)
    Thanks again!
