Gameplay Questions

Hello,

I've been reading the forums for a little bit. I haven't done an exhaustive search of the content on here, so I am quite confident what I am posting has been asked before. Sorry!

1) From what I understand, the more I level my characters, the harder my PvE will become due to the game scaling the nodes to make it a challenging / rewarding experience. Additoinally scaling will eventually allow stronger teams / better strategy to win out (in theory).

I have started keeping my three star characters at level 104 (Hulk, Falcon, Hood...) I have acquired quite a few characters but I've held off increasing their levels due to what I read in the forums. So, my first question is:

a) As long I don't exceed level 104, will my scaling increase? Can I "safely" level up other three star characters without having my scaling factor increase?


2) PvP is interesting. Some events I can sneak into top 100. I try to get an average of 550 points before the 3hr remaining mark so I can spend 75 HP. I've found 550 to be an approximate amount of points to keep me in the top 100. However, a friend of mine who has been playing the game longer somehow gets top 50 in PvP with only 200 - 400 points. He didn't level any of his characters, keeps them artificially low...

a) Does roster size / character level / ?? affect what bracket you are slotted into for PvP?

I'm sure I'm not the only player who would love to find a PvP to join with that low of a point threshold. I know he doesn't join at the very last minute, etc either.

Thanks for reading.

    1) The game takes your entire roster into account, not just the highest level character. So scaling will increase if you level more characters up, though probably in a less dramatic manner.

    2) The bracket is somewhat decided by your MMR, the more you win the tougher brackets you'll end up in.
