Day 600 here... 91 slots current.

All 8 unique 1*s rostered and maxed, 1extra 5blue mbw for teamups.
All 2*s rostered including bagman. Slowly maxing them out as they take their turn on the essential wheel, 5 left at 50. 1 extra 5blue cstorm for teamups.
All 3*s rostered, all level 154. No current plans to max. 5yellow cyclops for teamups, working on spare IF and punpun red for teamups as well.
All 4*s rostered at various stages of development. Spare HB in progress for teamup purposes, spare XFW in progress hoping to try out 355 build.
No 5*s, mixed feelings about that - i like collecting, but am uncertain how it will affect my game.

Whew, day 649 and still here. Bought hp for the anniversary and immediately added on a few extra teamup slots. Bought more slots for new characters. Sloooooots.... up to 99 now.

Added a minispidey purple, mnmags purple, finished pun red, 1 more green needed for 553 IF, tentatively holding a 3purple IF.

Opened a bunch of legendaries and have myself a 1/1/1 OML which I am enjoying, and so far hasn't affected the game noticeably.

Progress is in fits and starts, slow, but a few 4*s just tipped over into usability, notably jg, dpx and thing, enjoying them thoroughly. Still facing a dire shortage of iceman.

Day 101 here.

Roster Slots: 42

Currently in the middle of the 3* transition so I have no covered 3* (Steve Rogers has 10 covers)

all my 2* are (predictably) covered and maxed.

I have a small (but growing) roster of 4* characters which include:

Kingpin 3/0/2
XDP 3/0/0
Thing 2/1/0
Fury 2/0/1
Star Lord 2/0/0
Thor 0/2/0
Prof X 1/1/0
IW 1/0/0 (I have thrown 4 covers away for her in the past)
IMHB 1/0/0
Jean Grey 1/0/0

I've also thrown away 2 Dino covers. and have 1 OML

Biggest challenge? deciding who to roster and when. As a almost F2P player (bought hp to get a roster slot for OML) I'm very minimalist with my choices and try to only keep what I need right now or what I will need in future (except 4/5* covers) the hardest part is deciding what I will need in future and discarding what I don't need now.

T-rom12

I'm sitting on Day 153. I currently have 62 roster slots looking like this:

One 1* (Juggs for DDQ)
7- 2* (All maxed)
39- 3* (Darn SW. And of course, today is her day in DDQ. Highest is Luke Cage sitting at 9 covers.)
12- 4* (DD is highest at 5 covers / lvl 106, all the rest are 2 covers or less)

Last 2 slots are filled with random 2* for whatever reason (probably needed them for an event not too long ago), so I do have 2 more slots if need be to roster some more characters.

However, I'm thinking of trimming my maxed 2* down as needed in the future for more roster slots if need be, however the completionist in me doesn't like selling off maxed characters. Plus, even though there is no difference, buying a roster slot for a 4* at 850 hp is acceptable (don't like how high it is, but I'm OK with it). If I sell a 2* then want to have a complete roster later on, buying a roster slot to re-roster a 2* later at even more hp is just not justifiable to me.

Leaving my progress here for my own future reference since my roster spreadsheet doesn't let me view my edit history

Day 744, 77 slots

5*s: and both at 1 cover each (both )

4*s: lvl229 (4/5/4), lvl190 (5/5/3), lvl160 (5/2/4), lvl140 (2/4/3), lvl140 (3/3/2), lvl135 (4/1/1), lvl127 (2/3/2), lvl94 (3/2/2), lvl90 (2/0/2),

all one cover away from perfect cover, to be achieved by end of this set of 3 DDQ cycles. The rest are how I want them to be.

2*s: All except rostered, lvl78, lvl39, lvl15, the rest maxed

1*s: rostered and maxed

Day 480 here. I've got exactly 1 1* (Juggs for DDQ), 3 2* (Capt Marvel, Ares and OBW), for the same reason. All of the 3*s, all optimally covered, at least 120 on all of them, and 16 of them maxed (and, somehow, I still have some weeks in which the buffed 3*s aren't among them).
I also have all of the 4*s, but only 2 with 13 covers (XFW and Fury). I have a whole bunch of 4* sitting softcapped between 180-229 (Hulkbuster, Carnage, GoT, Jean Grey, Kingpin), and I'm thinking of buying covers for the first time to finish up my GoT. She's currently 3/5/1, but I've got a red cover coming from Daily Drop in 10 days. I'll probably wait a few days to make the decision though: she'll be coming up as the 1K reward in PVP after Starlord and Thing.
As it is, I score 1000-1150 in every PVP without too much difficulty. I think that once I get a breakthrough character like GoT or JG, I'll be able to push to 1300 regularly.
Oh, and a SS with one blue cover. Not that I've ever used him.

Edith09

I´m 304 day player. 79 slots. No 5 (which is probably better for me right now)
My rooster is http://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/Edith09/

I´m working on covering/leveling my 3 characters, not rushing things, just having fun.

Cousin Simpson

http://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/Cousin-Simpson/

Day 546+ (last daily reward of note was the purple Mystique), 64 slots, all the 3*s, seven 2*s + 1 for PVE essentials, two 1*s (Juggs and a 0/5 MBW for team-ups), and the rest 4*s. (No 5*s.) Exclusively F2P.

My most covered 4* is XFW (4/1/4), but my highest leveled character is Fury 168 @ 3/3/2. Have never come within sniffing distance of 1000 in PVP, so I've basically shifted my current attention to earning Legendary Tokens from 7-day PVEs.

Day 334.
60 characters. None are maxed, but I'm leveling them up slowly. I'm sitting on 1.65 million ISO.
10 4*
30 3*
9 2*
1 1*

Nice to able to see my growth. I'm on day 384 and have 68 characters. 18 of them being 4*. As much as I might want to complain about the slow rate of 4* drops, I damn near doubled the amount of 4* I have in under 2 months.

vinnygecko

My roster is here (and in my signature):

http://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/vinnygecko/

I'm on day 670. I only have 1 4* fully covered (XFW) but did not fully max him as he was nerfed about a month after I got all his covers. My 4* transition has been pretty slow but has picked up a bit over the last couple of seasons - this season I've placed 1000 or higher in each event except for starfall, which I forgot to join until it was almost over That being said I'm still not comfortable with using any of them for PVP just yet.

I feel pretty much done with 3*s - at this point I have 20 3*s maxed (Black Panther was first, I think She-Hulk was last). I'm only interested in maxing out 3-5 more, with Doctor Doom, Gamora, and Rocket & Groot up next. I'll then save up ISO for the 4*s as I get more covers for them.

I've only kept 3 2*s (OBW, Storm and Ares) and one 1* (Juggs), mainly for DDQ. I used to keep an extra slot open for a rotating 2*, as the essential for PVE, but I gave it up for a 4* somewhere along the way.

UncleSmed

Roster is in my sig too!
And also here; http://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/UncleSmed/

Day 459 (I've already added tomorrow's NF purple to his cover count.. he shall be mine!)

72 roster slots with one spare and open.
One 5* rostered but not to be used
At least one cover of most four stars (missing Thing, Ice Man, Rhulk, Cyclassic and X-23) and really only 3 close to usable (Being Fury, IW and NC-17)

Rostered all the 2 and 3*s.. been levelling my 3's up to 140 for the boosted to 200 as support in pvp and only Vision, Rags and Qsilver not there yet so no big losses.

Next challenge is to find a reliable unit for pvp to push up. Am already pushing some top tier characters to 150 evenly with a hope to reliably be able to hit 1k pts in pvp.

Starting to really see what people mean about being short on iso.

MPQ_Daywalker

I didn't see this thread when it was originally posted, but using the revision history on my roster spreadsheet on Google Docs I can pull up my roster from 6 months ago... Back then I had 5 3*s at 166 (BP, Doom, Mags, R&G and Thor), 5 maxed 2*s, a maxed Jugs, and 64 total roster slots. My best-covered 4* was an X-Force Wolverine at 1/1/4, level 135 and my next best was a 5-way tie (3 with only blue covers oddly enough) between: Lady Thor (0/0/3), Nick Fury (0/3/0), Prof. X (3/0/0), DD (1/1/1) and IW (1/1/1).

Today, I'm on Day 565 and I have 75 roster slots with 31 championed 3*s, 4 championed 2*s (I had sold Human Torch along the way for roster space), and a maxed Jugs. My 4* progress got a big boost thanks to LTs gained mainly from championing. My best covered are now Nick Fury (5/5/2) and Lady Thor (an unoptimal 3/5/4), both at level 200, which boosts to a useful 276. Next "best", are Ant-Man (5/0/5) and Carnage (0/4/4) who are missing entire colors -- Ant-Man's awesome special tile-stealing blue, and Carnage's only real damage-dealing power, red. Professor X has made it to 4/2/2, D3 interview favorite Star-Lord is up to 4/1/3, and Ghost Rider came out of nowhere landing at 2/2/4, leveled up to 168 (Penance Stare at 150% damage is very fun). Meanwhile my XFW progress has nearly stalled, only gaining 2 covers in 6 months, none of them the only power anyone cares about for him (black); he's at 2/1/5 and continues to be level 135.

RNGesus has also bestowed upon me three of the 5*s: Phoenix (2/1/1), BSS (0/2/0) and OML (1/0/0), all still at level 255.

Vhailorx

In September of 2015 I had about 72 slots. I have spent zero in the game since early March 201t, and less than $100 total).

No 5*s.

All then-current 4*s with 1+ cover. 5 4*s were cover maxed (imhb, xfw, kingpin, elektra, fury). No 4* above 205.

All 3*s cover maxed, all between 120-165.

5 2*s at 94 (obw, ares, daken, thor, storm). And one empty roster spot for 2* essentials.

Juggs @ 26 for ddq.
________
I then took a very long hiatus from competitive play. I have started dabbling a bit here and there post championing. My roster is now a bit better:

I have 3 5*s, none especially usable (Phoenix 2/1/2, SS 0/0/2, IML 0/1/0). At least I got the right OML cover first, but I still need about 5 more covers for him to really be better than 4*s.

All current 4*s except miles Morales with at least 1 cover. 3 champions (imhb, xfw, xpool, none higher than 275), with another 4 4*s cover maxed but underleveled (i need millions of iso!). Alas jg, rulk, iceman, or 4*cyclops are all at or below 7 covers, so my 4. Roster is a bit weak and maxing one or more of the purple/green users is probably my top priority.

I have 23 3* champs, none higher than 180. All of my remaining 3*s are at 120 or so, and I am only likely to spend any more iso leveling newly buffed im40, otherwise everything will probably be saved for my 4*s.

I have 5 2*s champed to 105-112, with a spare slot for extra essentials.

Juggs is still my only 1*.

LTs are now very much a mixed blessing for me. They remain the best way to build my 4* roster, but I have a significant and growing chance of pulling a useless cover (either truly useless in that it's my 14th cover for elektra or someone I will never have the iso to champ, or effectively useless in that it's my 11th cover for IW and doesn't help me at all since she isn't PvP worthy and I can already best her 4* ddq node). Losing OML from regular LTs is also a blow since he is really the only mandatory 5* atm (gg may be as good. . .) basically even classic LTs now offers something like 6 useful characters (oml, maybe Phoenix, jg, iceman, rulk, 4*cyc) out of 30+. Progress is very slow.

Orti

I'm on day 463 ans about to finish championing the last five 3*s. So far I rostered all 3*s and 4*s but didn't take any 4* beyond 152. Out of the 50+ legendary tokens I only pulled one yellow oml but since iso is so short I'm okay with that.

At my current pace i'll start leveling my 4*s on day a 500 or so. Looking back I wish I wouldn't have sold so many 3* and 4* covers for quick iso. Also joining a t100 alliance earlier would have helped a lot.

Nellyson

Oooo!! This is fun! I'm joining on the fun!

I'm at day 850. I'm a F2P player, but I did spend $40 to open up roster spots for my alliance back when that was a thing.
I own every character, except for .

All my 1 are maxed except Yelena

All my 2 are champed with 2 max champed except for Bag-Head. I do plan on maxing and champing him tho cause honestly, why not?

All my 3 are champed. Yes, every last one of them including Vision !

I have 5 champed 4 and working on building up that roster.

In 5 land, like I said before, I'm just missing the Goblin. My OML is at 5/0/3, so Devs, if you read this, please send me a yellow!! Hahahaha

Anyways, there ya go!! Fun thread btw!

EDIT: Inconsequential, but I currently have 92 out of 94 slots filled. I buy extra slots to stay ahead of new character releases.

PeterGibbons316

Day 510. In September I had not a single maxed 4* character. My closest was IMHB at 5/5/3, 250 and I had JUST maxed my IF. Ironically this was almost the exact point in time that jump-started me from 3* to 4* gameplay. I think DDQ4 had recently started and I was starting to spend most of my ISO bringing 4* characters up to a playable level that could bring down the DDQ4 battles for the LT. I was FistBustering my way to 1k in PvP for the 4*, but hadn't yet discovered LINE or been able to crack the 1300 barrier. I had zero 5* covers.

Since then I have champed seven 4*s (IMHB, Rulk, XPool, XFW, Iceman, JG, Cyc), and pulled fifteen 5* covers (2/1/2 OML, 0/2/2 SS, 3/0/0 Phoenix, 0/0/3 BSS). I haven't added a single maxed 3* since then, so it really does mark a turning point.

Short term goal is to max Carnage and Thing. Long term I have no idea besides pull more 5* covers.....which is largely out of my control. I'm still debating going back and champing other useful 3*s (BP, KK, and IM40 now) are all notably absent in my roster. But it might be more worth my while to continue to put ISO into some of the lesser used 4*s (ProfX, Thoress, Ant Man, Kingpin, X-23 to name a few). I think I just need to sit down and take a realistic look at cover earn rates vs. rewards to determine if it makes more sense to champ some 3*s for the rewards, or 4*s. Of the characters I still have to champ, I have found that none of them make a difference in PvP - that is IMHB, Iceman, Rulk, JG - all are typically better in PvP than a boosted Fisk, Ant Man, etc. So until the next OP 4* comes it's all about maximizing my LTs, and to a lesser extent adding covers to my current champs (here some 3*s come into play again.)

I'd love to hear some opinions from other vets on the utility of 2nd tier 4*s vs. 3*s for champ rewards.

FaustianDeal

I'm @838 today. I have 113 roster slots opened up, with a lot of dupes taking up space. I don't have yet and his absence burns me, since he is the only absence. My raging pokemon disease is up in arms over this.

8x 2*s champed - all maxed (that didn't take nearly as long as I hoped it would, but was slightly longer than I expected at the same time)
40x 3*s champed. That's right - all of them. (Don't judge me!)
12x 4*s champed. I am still hoping this is the path to progress. Eventually enough covers/levels in these champs and CP starts flowing.

A metric I am using is my "usable odds" in a 4* draw.
If I go for pure trainability I'm hovering @20% - since a large percentage of my 4s are fully covered.
If I include covers that count toward champ levels I can 'use' 51% of the possible draws from a legendary token. This number pleases me, because opening tokens just to be disappointed and sell what comes out is a huge bummer, especially for legendary tokens, where they effort that went into winning them tends to be sizeable.

(I compute this by looking at a single draw. 26x 4*s (so 78 possible covers) sharing 90% of the odds and 10% for 5*s. I don't give extra weight to a cover I could train multiple copies of... since there isn't a way to get 2 covers from a single pull.)

XandorXerxes

Just passed day 600, about 80 roster slots. For perspective, I'm a pretty casual player - play only the 4* essential node in PvE for a shot at the CP (I don't always grind it down), PvPs only when it has someone I want as the 1K reward, and DPD. I also don't shield after I hit 1K, so I don't usually place in the T100.

5*s: Phoenix (0/0/2), Surfer (0/0/1), all 255.
4*s: None champed. Fury has 13 covers, next highest is IW and IMHB with 11 and Thoress at 10. I've left Fury at 190 (figured champing a few more 3*s would be better than champing him), and IMHB at 220. Next highest "top 5" is JG with 7.
3*s: I believe I have about 14 champed. Almost all others are level 120-130. I think there's about 6-8 more I want to champion based on the 4* covers they provide, then I'll probably start devoting ISO to Fury or other 4*s if I have the covers.
2*s: 4 champed, 4 others rostered. Been using the ISO on champing 3*s. No champs are maxed yet, but a few are around 120.
1*s: Juggy and a 0/5 BW for sending team-ups.

Not terribly impressive, but I'm at the stage in my MPQ "career" where if I tried to grind out every PvP or any PvE I'd probably just put down the game. Last time I did that it set me back pretty bad, so I just play within my tolerance levels. If it didn't mean dropping my fun alliance, I'd probably just try to get myself sandboxed.

drcassino

I'm right at day 600, with 75 roster slots. I've dropped all of my 1s except for Juggs, and keep 3 2s (Ares, OBW and Ms. Marvel) around for DDQ, with a rotating 4th spot for PVE essentials (I keep one cover of each 2 in my rewards and rotate them out as I get new ones). All the 3s, 16 of them maxed and championed, and all of the 4s, with 7 of them maxed.
I recently hit the point where Legendary tokens were less than 50% useful, so I've stopped opening them until I can max and champion enough 4s to make them worthwhile again. As it stands, I'm dumping ISO into Rulk, then it'll be Carnage, Ant-Man, Thing and FalCap. Once they're all maxed, I'll start opening again. I recognize that there's no good reason to max FalCap, but I really hate getting useless legendary pulls.

carrion_pigeons

Just hit 365 a couple says ago. Don't really have a 4* roster to speak of, so I've been working on championing 3*s. Currently I have 8 championed (none of them top tier, sadly, best I got is Hood/GSBW), with another 10 at max covers waiting for Iso. I don't have anything particularly interesting in my queue at the moment, so I don't really have any direction on where to spend my Iso so I'm just saving it up until something comes along. I opened a 14th Spidey 3* cover yesterday but I'm not very interested in spending 120k Iso getting him to champion levels (and I probably couldn't have done it anyway). I also had to sell off a 4* Falcap a few days ago, but honestly I don't regret it much. It would have been another wasted roster slot for the next year.

Currently missing 3 3*: Beast, Squirrel Girl, and Cyclops (sigh). For some reason, Cyke eludes me.

My best 4* is currently Ghost Rider at 5 covers. Would love to pick up some more of him.

Mawtful

Just finished scraping the last bits of ISO together to max & champion Professor X, since I had 2 covers in my queue.
I had never used winfinite, so I don't feel any great sense of loss. In fact, since I was able to respect, I've actually been using him - he's pretty great.

And now I'm looking for my next "project". I'm taking 1/1/1 OML to 300 slowly, but he's still just being used for funsies. So I looked through my roster and noticed that I've got Rhulk with 10 covers at 4/3/3. So that's probably going to be my next focus. Otherwise, most of the characters that I'd like to level (XF Deadpool, Kingpin, Jean) are already softcapped, and the other characters I've got covered I'm not sure if I really want to spend the ISO on them (Elektra, Flaptain, Star-Lord).

I think 4/3/3 on Rhulk gets me to 209, which seems a good enough place to stay parked until the remaining covers come in. And after that I'll probably start considering my next 4* champion project.
