Roster Advice?

So I played quite a bit previously, but stopped playing about after the true healing nerf. I've recently started playing again, and I need some roster advice. I currently have no ISO and 400HP, with 32 character slots all used (the next slot costs 450). Anyway, here's my roster:

Hood 4/4/4 lv 144/153
Ares 5/3/5 lv 94
2* BW 3/5/5 lv 94
2* Storm 5/5/3 lv 94
2* Thor 4/5/4 lv 94
2* Wolvie 5/5/3 lv 94
3* Torch 4/2/1 lv 91
3* IM 2/1/3 lv 78
4* Wolvie 1/1/1 lv 78
Devil Dinosaur 0/0/1 lv 70
3* Storm 4/4/2 lv 67/127
2* Mags 4/5/4 lv 65/94
Deadpool 2/1/1 lv 55
3* Thor 2/1/1 lv 55
Punisher 2/2/1 lv 53/66
3* Wolvie 1/2/1 lv 45/55
Psylocke 3/2/1 lv 44/78
2* Cap 3/5/5 lv 43/94
3* BW 3/2/1 lv 43/78
Hulk 3/3/3 lv 40/114
Falcon 0/3/1 lv 40/66
BP 2/1/0 lv 40/53
Daredevil 0/1/2 lv 40/53
Doom 1/2/0 lv 40/53
3* Mags 2/1/0 lv 40/53
Sentry 1/1/0 lv 40/43
Blade 1/0/0 lv 40
Gamora 0/0/1 lv 40
Loki 0/0/1 lv 40
Luke Cage 1/0/0 lv 40
Ragnarok 0/1 lv 40
Groot 0/1/0 lv 40

I'm very reluctant to leveling up Hulk atm because he helps me fight the weaker opponents during pvp, especially in the beginning of the event where I would be fighting level 1s and 2s, and keep the enemy at around that level for the longest time before having to play Ares, OBW, Hood and the rest. I generally aim to get 2 covers during pvp events when they offer cover rewards that help my most abundant covers, like Hood, Torch and Hulk. Sometimes I might also go for top 5 just to get that extra 3rd cover, although that's often easier said than done. I'm also not very active in pve events.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

    What's your problem more specifically? You seem to have a pretty good roster there.

    Hmm, that's a tricky one.

    The problem is that you have one high leveled character, which might hurt you in pve. But your one character is Hood, whose value is as a support character and who should generally tank as few colors as possible. But you can't un-level him, so you will have to make do.

    Moving forward, the problem is that you don't have a 3* tank ready to level anywhere near to your Hood's level. Hulk and storm can both go above 100, but neither one is a premier 3*. I can see two major options: (1) level moStorm and Hulk as high as possible and try to push into 3* land as quickly as possible, or (2) hold everyone where they are, hope Hood doesn't ruin your pve scaling, and stockpile iso until you have a solid 3* team that you can bring up to ~153.

    And progressing further may be a bit slow if you only do PvP, where you can get one cover per event (I will be be very surprised, and more than a little jealous if you can reliably get top 25 finishes in PvP with that roster nowadays). On the other hand, pve might be untenable if your scaling is super high. I would do nothing for the moment. Try pve and see if you can do well enough there to get multiple covers. If pve is untenable in terms of scaling, then maybe level up your 3*s and try to focus on pvp, even though it will be slower.

    Hmm, I honestly have no big glaring problems in particular right now, except that I don't really seem to be able to play as much per session as I did before and well, I guess it feels a bit weird. Mostly, I just needed to know how I should work going forward, and as suggested, I think I'll just take it a little more slowly just playing mainly pvp. I've been able to place quite decently so far, getting at the very least 1 cover and very often getting 2 3* covers. I was also wondering as to whether or not I should be prioritising some specific covers (right now, I have a decent Torch, Storm, Hulk and other 5-6 covers such as Psylocke or GSBW) and if I should start leveling them up.

    You can't cover psylocke or GSBW now as they are in the vault. Lazy Thor is in the vault too, but if you get lucky jumping into this current pve event late you might be able to grab 2-4 of his covers and he is theoretically the best 3* in the game right now.

    Patch is also someone you should level, especially if you are have problems with sustainability.

    Of course, targeting a particular character is quite difficult nowadays, since the token drop rates are so random, and there are so many 3*s that its takes forever for each one to cycle back around in pvp.
