Loki and Hood underleveling

I remember there was a topic on character leveling milestones. I can't find this topic and would appreciate if someone can give a link.
I am particularly interested to what max level I can bring Hood and Loki to keep them hidden behind 166 guys.

    I don't know about the optimal level thread but I had this same question on those characters a few days ago. The general consensus was that if you do a lot of PVP with them, you need to max them regardless of how high their color is, since everyone is going to try to take them down first and you'll need all the health you can get.

    If you you are playing PVE, then around 130 seemed to be the safest bet, though maybe not optimal.

    I remember that thread shurak - I poked around the other day and found it but it is not an easy one to find. I wish we had a bookmark/favorites personal forum where we could save important reference threads like that. that would be nice. I'd like that link posted too if someone has it. thx.

    my dupes already have 5 green and 4 blue, but are missing a bunch of the other colors. once the dupes are better covered, the main ones go to 166. my loki is currently 153 and my hood 136. should probably go ahead and finish loki but haven't felt the need yet and I'm using iso elsewhere for now.

    Did some keyword searches, didn't find a specific thread, but i found quite a few mentions of 136 being the cap for hood to not tank his colors over a 166. Boosted throws everything out of whack though, and hood is about to be boosted...

    I can say at 153, I hate loki boosted - tanks important stuff like black. and hood is very hard to keep from tanking yellow if you get him very high. I know that thread is hard to find because for some reason the title doesn't make it obvious. now I have to go hunting for it - gonna drive me nuts lol

    166 - The obvious one, level all your guys that you will constantly use in PvP / PvE.

    For when you want your character to be a strong PvP defensive deterrent and usable in a PvE B team even when not boosted -
    137 - This gets your character above level 200 when major boosted in a PvP (which is a big defensive deterrent), and allows that character to tank for your 166 characters when it is minor boosted in a PvE. Level your guys that you use only when boosted that you DO want tanking for other characters (She-Hulk, etc) when they are featured.
    135 - This gets your character above level 200 when major boosted in a PvP (which is a big defensive deterrent), and allows OTHER 166 characters to tank for your character when it is minor boosted in a PvE. Level your guys that you use only when boosted that you do NOT want tanking for other characters (squishies like Mohawk, etc) when they are featured.

    For when you want your character to be an okay defensive deterrent in PvP.
    118 - This gets your character to 178 when featured in a PvP, which is when they tank for a level 270 4*. This is important for say the Daredevil tournament, as it makes opposing X-Forces surgical strike hit purple, which is a terrible color to use.
    114 - Doesn't tank for a 270 4*.
    112 - This gets your character to 168 when featured in a PvP, which allows them to tank for your other 166 3*s.
    110 - 165 boosted, so doesn't tank for your other 3*s.

    found this quote in this thread: https://d3go.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=31747&p=390821&hilit=hood+loki+level#p390821

    that was not the original thread that this info was posted in though. I'm trying to find that thread but not having much luck. will update if I find.

    I would probably max level everybody but iso is short so I have to chose who goes first. At least there is some sense to have this guys underleveled so I can direct more iso to tanks.

    If you're allocating scarce resources, then yeah, put the ISO where it will increase damage. Loki and Hood will steal just as well at 120 as at 140 or 166.

    At 166, assuming you want someones secondary colour to tank for Hood / Loki's primary colour, then lvl 141. You could push to 142 as it's equal tile strength but with hidden % it's not worth it.

    Third colour tanking isn't really recommended for PvP as it leaves them with low HP.

    Based of the tile calculator.
