    whoops, sry for that - yes, i have 4 purple in 3 in green/red.

    ha, i thought about using rulk for support to tank and accelerate green for thor (since kamala has purple too)
    but having no experience with rulk or 4* in general, i thought 5 purple would be really useful.

    guess im taking your advice and just start hoarding, thx

    Don't get me wrong, 5 purple is very useful, but 120 CPs are a lot for a 4s cover, so spend them just so he can be support for Thor I don't think is a good idea (and remember that when you start using 4s you are going to be attacked by more 4s and 5s). If you had a 3/5/4 or 3/4/5 then spending the 120 to get the last cover, that would be more recommendable, but just for 3/3/5 not so much.

    Rhulk is one of the best 4s, because he kills the other team really fast, 11 green + 7 purple and they eat a 7k AoE. And you can get these APs quite fast because you can do it getting two different colors instead of just one. Then he has a ton of life which is also very good.

    Like with the 3* transition, i would wait to bring any 4* above 166 until you have a pair. Like rhulk + imhb/4cyc. A undercovered/underleveled rhulk with a 3* will be an easy target

    As someone who's about to get my Red Hulk maxed covered 3/5/5, but with him being my first really useful 4*, who from 3* land would you team him with for PVE? The obvious choice is Scarlet Witch, but what about for the 3rd character?

    Suggestions appreciated. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    IM40, for even faster AP acceleration.

    Thank you! Strangely the obviousness of that had escaped me.

    From 3*- Thor & Hood can also help get you to 18 green quickly.

    You could also pair him with IM40 for a quick green battery as well.

    I like Rulk/SWitch/Thor. If I am taking a good bit of damage Rulk/SWitch/Hulk works well too.

    I've settled on Rhulk/IM40/SW during the current PVE and its tearing apart the opposition. Its the first chance I've had to really use a top 4*, with my only other covered one being Fury up to now, so I'm enjoying myself.

    3* Cyclops. Red Hulk does pretty good damage but his main attack is an AOE, Cyclops is great at single-target damage to finish/soften up the other team.
    (4* Cyclops is also great with him for the same reason)

    My question in short:
    Would Red Hulk at level 188 be better than any 3* at the same level?
    No.
    He needs 5 green covers - the damage doubles going from 3 --> 5

    Also you need 5 purple.

    Keep in mind that both 3* thor and thanos rewards rulk from championing them. It's not bad idea to set only one of those 2 as your bonus 3* and slowly work on your rulk this way. Maybe its not fastest but for example my thanos is at 194 already as my single bonus 3* (Ive got over 15 bonus covers already).

    I'm still in 3* land, however in the final stretch of it. I don't have any fully covered 4* yet, however I have 9 Red Hulk covers:
    3/3/3.
    Would he be somewhat useful at this state if I max his level according to the amount of covers (level 188 that is)?
    Or is this considered a waste of ISO-8, should I wait?

    My question in short:
    Would Red Hulk at level 188 be better than any 3* at the same level?
    Actually I believe he is playable at 3/3/3 among a mostly 3* roster. His AoE at level 188 will be better than Beast, and nearly as good as Kamala. He's not a waste of Iso at this point since you will certainly be leveling him up in the near future anyway - Unless you have other 3*'s the are Iso starved. Certainly you need to strive for the eventual 3/5/5 build.
    The point with Rulk is he may be able to tank red at lvl 188, and with his good health pool vs 3*s that will be very helpful. Not to mention, his purple even at 3 covers is fantastic when going against an annoying green using team. Just let them get green matches you can't get to, then poof, it's all gone as you build up your own. Too bad that it only generates 3 green for you.
    As stated above, setting the 3* characters as Bonuses so that you earn Rulk as champ rewards. You will move him up from 3/3/3 in no time.

    Just a quick update,
    he's now 3/4/3 and I'm pretty sure he's going to be my first 4* champ in a matter of weeks. icon_e_smile.gif Excited!

    Edit:
    149.000 ISO-8 required for level 209? Uhunoway I'm entering 4* land!
    And you then you are not even halfway to level 270... that's 360,000 ISO.

    I kind of love going through these threads and seeing what people thought of characters and how they turned out. People at first thought Red Hulk was garbage and now he's considered top tier. It's an interesting lesson about not judging characters immediately, and instead reserving judgement until they get put to the test.

    On topic, Red Hulk is a monster!

    I actually don't think he's that great. He's neat as a green battery, but I often use IM40 instead. Admittedly his AoE is pretty viscous when he's boosted, but most 4-stars show some teeth when they're boosted.

    While I agree, there is just no better green-denial in the game. This works incredibly well vs. other Rulks, or Iceman, R4G, Vulture, etc teams where green is deadly in the enemy hands.
    And his health is fantastic.

    Finally champed him. Man he's great. Using him boosted is gonna be great but just as good is if he's used as a battery for a boosted green user like Invisible Woman. And his red power seems to be overlooked. It's at a set number and with his health, he's an awesome sponge. It wrecks the board very well at only 3 covers and it's even better when taking striked matches with attack tile damage tacked on the end.
