Roster Advice (I think I kinda have a messed up one)

Unknown
edited January 2015 in MPQ Tips and Guides
Hey guys, don't know if I'm respected enough to ask in here.
Just want to ask some advice about who should I keep and who should I drop

This is my current roster:

4* Elektra Unkillable lvl 70 - Shadow Step (1)
1* Iron Man Model #35 lvl 50 capped - Repulsor Blast (5) , Armored Assault (3), Ultra-Freon Beam (5)
3* Indestructible Hulk lvl 40 - Anger (1)
3* Dark Regin Loki lvl 40 - Illusions (1)
2* Marvel Now! Thor lvl 30 - Mjolnir's Might (2), Call The Storm (2)
2* Modern Captain America lvl 41 - Star-Spangled Avanger (2), Peacemaker (4)
2* Classic Storm lvl 31 - Lightning Storm (2), WInd Storm (1), Raging Tempest (2)
2* Modern Hawkeye lvl 17 - Blast Arrow (1), Speed Shot (1)
2* Bag-Man Spider-Man lvl 15 - Switcheroo (1) <-- Kinda like his skill, quite "turn-tiding"

And I have a few in my waiting list to be recruited, including:


2 x 2* Moonstone - Photon Blast [6 days left]
2* Moonstone - Control Shift [6 days left]
3* Classic The Hood - Intimidation [3 days left]
2* Astonishing X-Men Wolverine - Feral Claw [6 days left]
3* Colossus Classic - Fastball Special [3 days left]
3* Wolverine Patch - Berserker Rage [3 days left]
2* Captain Marvel / Ms. Marvel - Sonic Boom (CMIIW but I really don't see this skill too useful for me) [6 days left]
2* Marvel Now! Magneto - Polarity Shift [less than 24 hour left]
2* Marvel Now! Magneto - Iron Hammer [less than 24 hour left]
2* Dakken - Chemical Reaction [less than 24 hour left]

Another thing to mention, I have 425 HP until this second, so it's not that long to reach 500 HP for another 3 additional roster slot.

Will appreciate any suggestion from all more experienced players..

    Sell Bag-man, focuses on having a good star.pngstar.png characters like Thor, OBW, Ares, Storm & MMags! The are the key for your transition. Don't buy covers or tokens, buy roster slots. And grind like mad icon_cool.gif

    so for now, I should've sell bag-man, and recruit magneto?

    any other suggestions??

    Yes, for example I use a lot the Storm & MMags combo, offensively and with lucky boards they are a big threat.

    And sell Moon's aswell and if you can don't sell any star.pngstar.pngstar.png
    Okey maybe Beast & Otc. also don't put ISO on low tier characters do it on the good ones!

    If you are waiting for more HP to buy roster slots (and assuming you don't want to make a small HP purchase to buy one or two), I would sell Bagman and Modern Hawkeye immediately to give you two roster slots, and recruit Magneto MN and 2* Wolverine. Mags pairs well with your storm, and Wolvie you can get more covers going through the prologue. Modern Hawkeye isn't bad, but as you play more and more, you will see his cover pop up quite a bit, so you can also pick him up again when you have extra roster space. (You can pretty much say the same thing about the other 2* chars you have in reserve.) But like anyone else says here. Do not sell your three stars.
  • I will echo the sentiments of the others here and agree with the sale of Bag Man. He is virtually useless. Moonstone is outclassed by lots of other star.pngstar.png characters.
  • Moon stone is very underated. He reds can be deadly. And her blacks cost alot but change a game. But agree with the bagman and hawkeye statements. Very common and collect later.

    Problem is Moonstone's powers cost a little too much and are a little too hard to use effectively.
  • Bagman - Sell
    Hawkeye - Sell - He's not that useful with the characters you have. You don't have any real board changers except for illusions, which makes his speed shot not worthwhile. Blast arrow is weaker than repulsor blast.
    CStorm - Keep - needs more covers.
    Cap - Since he's so covered now, I'd keep him for now as an IM substitute. If you plan to play pve a lot, he's quite decent in the midterm before you build up a 3* replacement. Most vets will tell you to sell him, but they're more focused on PVP, and have a 3* cap.

    I see your current offensive team as IM, Elektra and Thor/Storm
    Elektra brings match damage to blacktile.pngpurpletile.pngredtile.png

    While Moonstone can be ok as a tank, Thor or Ares work better as tanks, with Original Black Widow or even MarvelNow Magneto as support.
    I'd definitely build Magneto, but the second character is a toss-up between Wolverine Patch/Moonstone, or even someone else in the mean time.

    If you try to keep all your 3*, you may end up not having any developed roster in the short-mid term unless you pay money for roster slots, which might not be bad if you focus purely on PVP, and specific 3* characters.
  • You could've saved yourself alot of time by simply posting your ingame name and current ally. That way we can look into your roster and you don't have to transcript the whole thing.

    On topic: if you don't want to spend money on hp to buy roster slots, i would focus on 2* and get about 10 of them maxed before you put any iso into something different. With how the game works currently it will take you at least a year to get your first 3* maxed (assuming you're f2p). So don't be shy to sell 3* if you don't have space for a good 2*.
    My choice for a 2*team would be:
    2x obw (yes two, it's worth it)
    ares
    thor
    a. wolv
    cstorm
    mnmags
    mhawkeye
    johnny storm
    daken

    My advice

    Sell, of your current covers you can recruit, you will get plenty of these in the future, and can build Magneto, Daken, Wolverine
    2 x 2* Moonstone - Photon Blast [6 days left]
    2* Moonstone - Control Shift [6 days left]
    2* Astonishing X-Men Wolverine - Feral Claw [6 days left]
    2* Captain Marvel / Ms. Marvel - Sonic Boom (CMIIW but I really don't see this skill too useful for me) [6 days left]
    2* Marvel Now! Magneto - Polarity Shift [less than 24 hour left]
    2* Marvel Now! Magneto - Iron Hammer [less than 24 hour left]
    2* Dakken - Chemical Reaction [less than 24 hour left]

    Sell of your current roster
    2* Modern Hawkeye lvl 17 - Blast Arrow (1), Speed Shot (1)
    2* Bag-Man Spider-Man lvl 15 - Switcheroo (1) <-- Kinda like his skill, quite "turn-tiding"
    2* Classic Storm lvl 31 - Lightning Storm (2), WInd Storm (1), Raging Tempest (2) (Since you don't have Magneto and not too much invested in her compared to others)

    4* Elektra Unkillable lvl 70 - Shadow Step (1)
    1* Iron Man Model #35 lvl 50 capped - Repulsor Blast (5) , Armored Assault (3), Ultra-Freon Beam (5)
    3* Indestructible Hulk lvl 40 - Anger (1)
    3* Dark Regin Loki lvl 40 - Illusions (1)
    2* Marvel Now! Thor lvl 30 - Mjolnir's Might (2), Call The Storm (2)
    2* Modern Captain America lvl 41 - Star-Spangled Avanger (2), Peacemaker (4)

    Recruit, 3* don't come too often
    3* Classic The Hood - Intimidation [3 days left]
    3* Colossus Classic - Fastball Special [3 days left]
    3* Wolverine Patch - Berserker Rage [3 days left]

    Consider holding off opening other tokens until you get the roster slots. You won't face the dilemma of who to ditch. Build up Thor, 3/5/5 is ideal.
