Roster and team composition advice

farseer

I'm currently in the 2* to 3* transition and I have been finding it hard to place higher than top 200-300 in any PVP event. I seem to hit the 166 wall at around 300 - 400 points and can't climb any higher. Here is my current roster :

4 4 5 lvl 94
3 5 5 lvl 94
5 4 4 lvl 94
5 5 3 lvl 94
3 5 5 lvl 94
Storm classic 5 5 3 lvl 94
5 3 5 lvl 94
5 5 3 lvl 94
5 1 1 lvl 94
Storm Mohawk 2 1 3 lvl78
3 3 lvl 76 (can go to 83)
LThor 3 2 lvl 76
4 4 5 lvl 75
1 lvl 70
1 lvl 70
4hor 1 lvl 70
XForce 1 lvl 70
1 1 3 lvl 68
2 2 1 lvl 66
2 2 lvl 63
Black Widow Grey suit 1 2 1 lvl 55
2 1 1 lvl 55
2 1 lvl 53
2 1 lvl 53

Cpt America Steve Rogers 2 lvl 40
Magneto classic 2 lvl 40
2 lvl 40
1 1 lvl 40
1 lvl 40
1 lvl 40
1 lvl 40
1 lvl 40
1 lvl 40
1 lvl 40
1 lvl 40
5 3 5 lvl 30
5 5 lvl 29
5 3 5 lvl 24
4 4 5 lvl 18
3 5 5 lvl 15

As you can see I have a lot of 3 * characters with very few covers and at low level so the DDQ has been great so far for trying to fill in some of these.

I guess my main question is should I level up 2* Daken and use him more? I've read a lot of people here say he is good but I haven't used him much and I also see him lots in the PVP rounds.

Any other tweaks I should make in respect to covers? (I'm trying to increase my 2 * Thor's yellow and reduce the red but haven't got the needed covers)

Also any advice on the best combos of these characters to use?

I currently have 169888 ISO and 855 HP

Thanks in advance

your roster looks like a whole lot of peoples and your not alone in the pvp wall at 300-400 points and being closed out of top 100. that in a nutshell is the reason they created the deadpool daily. to give players like you (and me) a means of obtaining 3* covers on a regular basis outside of the pvp arena that is dominated by longer term players who have multiple well covered 3*s.

youre not doing anything wrong nor would i say you need advice on playing the game. there are certainly transition guides in the forums as well as build guides as to optimal cover configurations. those are very useful. the best advice is to just keep playing. do the deadpool daily. focus on getting the season progression (yellow thor this season) and season 10 pack every season. this is fairly easy if you hit 300+ in each event and 800ish in simulator doable with a full 3* roster like yours.

as to daken he is very useful due to his true healing. he farms early lightning round and early pvp rounds and usually comes out undamaged. if he gets badly hurt you can go into one of the early prologue story missions and heal him for free picking up 20 iso each round in the process saving many a healthpack.

best advice - just keep grinding. you didnt mention pve but thats the best source of guaranteed covers (outside of dpd now). at least grab the progression cover each time out and as many tokens as you can get in subs. you are not alone!!

personally i think pvp is a soulsucking grindfest not worth the effort anymore with dpd available.

In terms of PVE I have been getting all the progression rewards for the last few events. (I finished this last one a couple days ago)

I managed just over 4000 in the last season and pulled 9 2* covers I didn't need and 1 3* that I could.

like i said, youre doing what you can do. its just a slow process getting those 3*s built up. i dont think there is any magic outside of the power of visa that can move you along any better or faster than what youre doing. grind grind grind. thats what its all about.
