Who should I level first? Doom, Loki or Ragnarok?

Doom is 141, Loki is 121 and Ragnarok is 120.
They're the three characters boosted next week which I haven't got up to 166 already. I'm leaning more towards Dr Doom, but Loki's also pretty versatile. And Ragnarok's good for creating blues for Doom to utilise.

Decisions!

    I would say to go with Doctor Doom all the way! Strong high tier character that will be very useful even if not boosted. icon_cool.gif

    Loki's powers do not scale with levelling anyway so no need to get him to 166 for him to be useful as a support character. The only gain there is health.

    I've never played with Ragnarok so I can't really comment on that character.

    By looking at the boosted characters for the next PvE as it will be the same ones boosted in PvP.

    Click the new PvE and when you're looking at the rewards screen click the Evnt Rules tab. It'll show you who's boosted =)

    Personally I would level Doom, he is a tank that can do some massive damage. Then Loki levelling really only lets you keep him alive longer. Keeping him under levelled and having others tank colours is possibly a good idea. I personally wouldn't waste ISO on Rags his self harm power + rather weak other powers I would throw ISO at an in boosted character way before.

    out of those three definately Doom. Loki is good at around 120 to 130, mine has been that way for ages. As others said his powers don't benefit from increased levels, only his health does and that gain would be nullified by him tanking more colours.

    I'd leave Rags alone entirely and go with a good unboosted character over him.

    loki is the best of those three characters (assuming you have 5 green) and will see the most long-term use in pve and in pvp when boosted. So iso should go to him first.

    BUT, as others have mentioned, loki's powers don't scale with levels, so you will have to decide how high to take him. 166 is good for defensive purposes, as every extra hitpoint is important on defense. But on offense underleveled lokis excel since they tank fewer colors and therefore can survive extended play with fewer health packs. I think 116 or so is the cutoff where all three of loki's colors will be tanked by a 166 (ie where loki's strongest color will be tanked by a 166's third color). It's hard to say exactly how high to take him. Maybe start with an underleveled loki and then move up from there if you find more health is necessary.

    Doom is a good all around 3* (though a bit slow to see much top tier pvp play). He should be leveled as high as your main tanks, since his health is reasonably strong.

    Ragnarok is generally terrible, but has some niche value as a blue/green battery. I wouldn't spend much iso on him at all if you are still working on the rest of your 3* roster.
