Saving HP to get covers for him is a good strategy, but a long drawn out one. With only 1 166, you aren't really ready for the 4* transition in the typical way of getting 1000 progressions in PvP. Scraping up HP for covers is fine, but don't let it interfere with the normal process of character growth, like adding Iron Fist to your roster this week. It's debatable weather any particular 4* will get boosted (with IW being the most likely), and they aren't ever featured in PvE, so the worth of a character like Star Lord (or Elektra, or Fury) is hard to measure. Personally I think they are worth the roster slot, but if you feel they are better off as 1000 iso that's fine too. If there are ANY weak links on your roster, consider selling one of those instead. IM35 for example. When Mystique came out coupled with the first 4* Thor cover I ever had due to season ending I needed 2 roster slots at the same time, and that was too much. That is what finally got me to sell my own IM35. Prioritizing roster space is part of the game. No one can decide for you if a level 70 1 cover 4* is better for your roster than a level 94 2* or worth the HP to get his own slot, so if you are feeling Starlord isn't worth the space then he probably isn't.

You are correct that I am not quite there in terms of transitioning to 4*, but I am fairly competitive with the 3* roster I have, as it includes Patch (5/2/5 L153), Blade (4/3/5 L153), DP (5/4/4 L166), LCap (2/4/5 L140) and Hood (5/5/3, L147) all decently leveled, as well as MohStorm (5/3/5, underleveled at 104) and a few close to complete (9+ covers) 3*s in terms of their covers (Loki, LDaken, LThor, Gamora, R&G, Hulk, Sentry) . In regards to Iron Fist, I will be deleting Squirrel Girl, as I really don't like the character in general. I do have IW, and am keeping her covers for that reason, but doubt that SL will get the same treatment. He's not bad, he's just not great... @ rednailz: those are the 2*s I have. OBW, Ares, MNMags/Cstorm, Baby Daken, AWolvie, and Thor. I could see the argument to remove Thor (most likely disposable, as soon as my LThor has another 1-2 covers) Baby Daken (when LDaken is built) and possibly even AWolvie (becomes obsolete with Patch at 5/2/5), but the first three seem just too good to get rid of. Plus, they are useful at times for PVE and depth PvP (in earlier rounds, of course). I appreciate everyone's opinion. There seems to be two camps here. The "do not sell a 4*, EVER" camp, and the "well, he may get boosted, but you could also sell him" camp... I don't really know.

Ares is almost unstoppable in PVE when boosted (323 damage on green per AP, 3200+1400 damage yellow). He's also a beast then at 8K health... I prefer him to Thor, and since I've built him, never used Thor again really (except when I need AOE damage). The others are a must...
