Oh no! Something terrible has happened to your roster.

So, something terrible happens to your account, and for whatever reason your roster is cut to a total of seven characters of your choice that you currently have. On the bright side, all of your cruelly erased characters leave their roster slots behind, so at least you (probably) have a bunch of open roster slots now. Which seven would you pick? Would you keep any one/two stars for Deadpool's Daily Quest, or would you only keep your heavy hitters/four-stars? Would you choose based on PvE, or PvP, or a mix of both?

Looking at my own roster (solid 3-stars, only a small handful of 4-stars), I'd probably go with the following:

Nick Fury (2/3/4, 166)
Invisible Woman (5/3/5, 166)
Luke Cage
Classic Magneto
Cyclops
Kamala Khan
Iron Fist

    Hulkbuster
    Iron Fist
    Cyclops
    Kamala
    Luke Cage
    Loki
    Devil Dinosaur

    Since I'm allowed to rebuild my roster, I don't see too much sense in picking 1 or 2* characters. I can just grind out Simulator to get all of those back.

    My Hulkbuster is 5/5/3 and currently Lv 240, but he's already become my go-to 4* over Wolverine. HB is a much better scarecrow to less developed rosters, so he'll be more useful in my journey to "catch 'em all" again.

    The 3* selection should be pretty self-explanatory; they're all top picks in that tier.

    Devil Dinosaur because he's otherwise unobtainable.

    Devil Dinosaur
    Wolverine (X-Force)
    Daken (Classic)
    Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel)
    Loki (Dark Reign)
    Steve Rogers (Captain America)
    The Hood (Classic)

    It'd hurt to lose my full covered Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and Patch. But since I mostly live and die by the above anyway, I can always regain the others later.

    These 7 can defeat any node in game and would likely be the most useful while I attempt to recover my roster
    1/2 stars drop like candy so no need to put them in my 7

    Hulk Buster
    Jean Grey
    Professor X
    Thor 4*
    Spider-Man 3*
    Deadpool 3*
    Black Widow 3*

    I think this team would help me remain competitive in both PvP and PvE. As previously mentioned, 1* and 2* are not difficult to come by (with the exception of purple 1* Spidey covers. i just need one more! haha) and although Iron Fist is an important partner for Hulk Buster and Luke Cage, i figure i can risk taking my chances bumming off the opponent's IF if I have to. The only teams I would be worried about facing in PvP would be the Hood and Loki because we all know they are a bunch of mischief makers icon_twisted.gif lol

    I would keep 3* Spidey and Deadpool because i wouldn't feel right tossing them and they make a fun duo (・・。)ヾ(^^ )! Now if only something could be done about that Spider-man yellow *cough cough wink wink*

    4* IMHB, Carnage, Thor, PX
    3* GSBW, SW, Fist

    SW is the last cut, I'm inclined to keep Fury instead, just because 3* aren't as hard to replace, but SW is just too good an accelerant

    Seven copies of Yelena. She has incredible synergy with herself.

    The Thing
    Deadpool (Uncanny X-Force)
    Wolverine (X-Force)
    The Hood
    Iron Fist
    Luke Cage
    Magneto (Classic)

    The top four can generally make a nuisance of themselves in PvP, enabling runs to at least 1K. The bottom three make for a decent rainbow fast attack team for PvE. I wanted to put Steve Rogers (Super Soldier) in there, along with KK, and SW, but Steve's too slow on his own without IM40, and I wasn't giving up a slot for IM40. Interesting question, Puce, and hard to choose! I also nearly went IF/Blade/Daken for the fast attack team, but I think Cage and Mags are more versatile, so to speak. IF and Mags also pair well with XFW.
  • All my 4*s are still too few-covered to make a difference, so it would be all 3* team:

    LazyThor
    Luke Cage
    C.Mags
    Cyclops
    Kamala Khan
    Iron Fist
    Hood

    icon_wolverine.png 4 star.png (My first 4 star.png completed)
    icon_devildino.png (Can't get any other way)
    icon_deadpool.png 3 star.png (Because Deadpool)
    icon_lukecage.png (So satisfying uppercutting someone)
    icon_kamalakhan.png (Healing + fun to use)
    icon_squirrelgirl.png (Again - fun to use)
    icon_psylocke.png (Sentimental - my first completed 3 star.png )

    I play to win as many covers as I'm able to, but I play more to have fun - these characters do that for me. I know I've left better characters off my list from my roster, but I figure I should be able to get them back eventually.

    I have a fair number of max covered 3*'s, but am having a tough time getting the iso to max level them, so they are all in the 120-130 range.

    I have two teams that I go with, and I feel like they give me all the diversity I need to take on all aspects of the game -

    Black Panther - 5/3/5
    Iron Fist - 3/5/5
    Steve Rogers - 3/5/5

    Thor - 3/5/5
    Loki - 5/3/5
    Dr. Doom - 5/5/3

    For my 7th, I'd take Kingpin - 0/2/5, he's not optimally covered, but has enough to be decent level, and I love spamming that yellow and 4* take FOREVER to get even one color optimally covered.

    There are a couple of other characters I'd miss, but I'd feel good about my chances of rebuilding quickly with this team.

    Fun thread.

    EDIT: After a little research, I'd trade them all in for a single Jamie Madrox greenflag.png Rainbow Crotch Blast cover.
  • Hulkbuster
    X-force Wolverine
    Luke Cage
    Iron Fist
    Cyclops
    Kamala Khan
    Magneto Classic

    As stated theirs no reason to keep 1 or 2's. Easy to aquire. This group can rip through most. Cmags was a close call against Lazy Thor. Either would be fine.

    Tough tough choice...

    Hulkbuster
    Prof. Xavier
    Thor Goddess of Thunder
    Iron Fist
    Scarlet Witch
    Kamala Kahn
    Black Widow Grey Suit

    but there's so many covers i'd lose icon_eek.gif

    4* wolverine 5/5/1
    3* thor, luke cage, blade, falcon, Steve rogers and cyclops
    been using mostly cage blade and falcon. Steve/cyclops is fun red shield throwing fun(was thinking patch and hulk instead for usefulness in speed climbing) but if this happen i think i would quit and cry icon_cry.gificon_cry.gificon_cry.gif

    I would only need to pick three.

    Hood
    2* Storm
    2* Magneto

    Yes very squishy and would leave me wide open to attacks in the PvP arena but seeing as I only play for progression they can get me to 800 points very quickly.

    Hmm,

    166 Steve Rogers
    166 Lazy Thor
    151 Loki
    150 Daken
    145 The Hood (because it took around 525 days to get a 5th blue cover)
    131 Devil Dinosaur
    108 Deadpool (Super Whales!)

    HB
    XF
    IF
    Cage
    Hood

    ...wait, I need seven? I could cut to those five and really wouldn't notice much of a difference from how I play now outside of essentials. I guess I'd keep the next two 4*'s that I have closest to being done (Fury/GT) for now.

    My most covered 4* has 7 covers, so I could let all of those go if I'm dropping from a roster of 66 down to 7.

    166 Scarlet Witch (5/3/5)
    166 Iron Fist (3/5/5)
    166 Rocket & Groot (5/3/5)
    166 Cyclops (5/3/5)
    166 Blade (4/5/4 ... need 1 more green cover for 3/5/5)
    166 Doom (3/5/5)
    130 Loki (5/3/5)

    And SW would probably be on every single team combo I'd put together.

    I have some covers for 4 of these guys in my queue to instantly begin second copies of them with my now vacant roster slots.

    Jean 5/3/5
    Px 5/3/5
    Imhb 5/2/2
    Sw 5/3/5
    If 3/5/5
    Gsbw 5/3/5


    I'd look at upcoming covers and essentials in versus and story to determine my 7th.

    I'd likely keep a color covered 4 star. Deadpool Antman or kingpin. 3 stars are so much easier to build up.
