This season was particularly brutal. I set what I thought was a modest goal of 800pts in PVP for non popular 3 stars like Storm or Captain Marvel. Nope once I hit maybe 400 to 500 I get the crud kicked out of me. My equilibrium point seems to be 200 to 300 pts. which seems low even for a transitioner. To make things worse whatever tokens I earn in the events turn out to be 2 stars. I only pulled GSBW and LCap from the 10 pack. Thank goodness for DDQ and the lucky 3 stars from the standard packs. I'm also working PVE to at least grab whatever progression awards I can get. I was thinking maybe next payday I should just get a Stark salary and just buy 16 covers for "the big four". I have an IF 1/3/1, Cyc 1/1/3, Cage 4/1/1, KK 2/2/3. If I buy 4 covers for each maybe that could make me a little bit better and put my transition in high gear. I'm also scared to do this because I just know with my luck they'll get nerfed and /or they'll have a big HP sale once I spend some hard earned cash. What do you guys think? Am I being too impatient? Should I just tough it out for another few months?

Unfortunately, I doubt that "just" a stark salary will get you what you want, since you would also need iso to level those characters afterwards. and in any event, 4 covers for each of those characters still won't make them well-covered, so their utility will remain limited. In general, I think the most efficient way to use money to increase your progress speed is to drop $20-50 on HP and immediately buy as many roster slots as you can get. That way you will never have to sell a 3* or 4*, and can gradually build up your entire roster (if you are forced to sell 1/2 of the 3* covers you get for lack of roster space, it will take you much much longer to build a roster, and there is some risk that you will keep drawing the covers you previously sold and never get more covers for the 3*s you kept).
