Needing some advice with my 2* - 3* transition

I've been playing casually/aimlessly for a while now but i'm now wanting to make the 2*-3* transition. Here are most of my characters

above 100 I have
Falcon at 130 5/5/1 (i didn't know scaling existed...i learned quickly)
Hulk 104 5/2/1 and Sentry 102 5/2/0 (i use him with my 1 cover 3*)

My maxed 2* are Ares, OBW, MNMags, Cstorm, MnThor, Wolvie and Torch at 80
I can almost always get 550 in pvp using MNmags and Storm with the 3 purple boost and then shielding... (Didn't shield once and lost 200 in about 45 mins)

3* i have
Hood 78 3/2/3
BP 78 1/3/2,
LCap 68 1/3/1
Patch 43 0/2/2 ...
DP 45 1/2/1
Mohawk 55 1/3/1
spidey 81 4/1/1 and a few others not worth mentioning

4*
Xforce 2/0/1
Fury 2/0/2
IW 0/3/0 (i'm about to give her roster spot up for a 3*)

So i was thinking either maxing Xforce from 2/0/1 to 5/0/1 (i've been saving up coins) but now i'm thinking to use the same amount of coins to max out BP's blackflag.png , Lcap redflag.png , and Hoods blackflag.png in that order ...then i heard that patch is really good to have too, but I don't have his greenflag.png yet

I was looking for some suggestions on how to progress, i'd like to average 600-700 in pvp and not worry about losing 40-50+ in between battles

I have almost 10000 Iso so i'm available to level up once I get the covers.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

  • Evenly level all your 3*'s to 130 (Since your falcon is already leveled to 130) Than once you're able to max 3-4 3*'s, (They have to be a good team together as well) you'll start maxing your 3*'s.
  • Can you beat any teams with hulk/featured/sentry combo? It would be a better defense team. Also, if you're going to spend hero points on covers, I'd focus on 2 heroes that work well together. Then you have a good team to climb past 550 points. I love the cStorm/mnMags combo but the more 3* you get, the more you can faze them out. I only use them now to save health packs during a climb. Usually get to 300 points and then switch to my goto 3* team.

    I can see your dilemma, as none of your 3*s are quite ready for primetime yet, in terms of covers. Pretty pricey to max out X-Force to 5 greenflag.png. My personal feeling is to sit it out on the 4*s at present, since D3 are saying that they're working on a plan to ease the transition to 4*, and I think your coin would be better spent on the 3* covers, since you're getting two covers for the price of one 4* cover.

    Having said that, unless you really want to drop the coin on the covers, my advice would be to sit tight, and wait for a few more covers to drop. It makes sense to buy a 4th or 5th cover, if you're nearly there, but in your case, you'd end up with:
    BP 1/3/5
    LazyCap 1/5/1
    Hood 3/2/5

    and I'm not sure that makes for a terribly strong team. RotP is a strong ability, but it's equally important to have BP yellowflag.png covered well, since Battleplan is at least as strong an ability (and arguably stronger). SSA is a great ability in PvE, but it's slow in PvP, and having used Cap in PvP in my transition, 3*Cap is a defensive liability. BP's a stronger prospect in terms of PvP, and if you have to buy out covers, I'd think about buying out BP yellowflag.png as well as his blackflag.png, then pairing BP with Ares or Sentry for PvP to try and hit your T100 placements. That will also allow you to level BP higher. Otherwise, you end up with BP (9 covers, softcapped around level 117), and LazyCap (7 covers, softcapped around level 94), neither of which will be levelled significantly high enough to be advantageous in PvP.

    With regards to Hood, I can see where you're going with Hood blackflag.png in terms of pairing him with 3*Cap, but you don't need more than 3 black to make that work, and you'd be better off spending on Hood blueflag.png.

    I'd think twice about giving up IW just yet. If she gets buffed, you're going to miss those three covers significantly later on.

    My advice is if you are posting this it's too late to fix it. Aside from spending money.
