Okay, since the recent anniversary, I'm kinda resolved not to spend money anymore. Previously, I had spent money in order to make sure I had one of each character, because I'm one of "those" people.

Anyway, I'd rather clean out some 1 and 2* characters to make room for eventual 4 and 5*. Who is good to sacrifice? Bagman is obvious. As is Yelena. By contrast, Juggs and OBW seem like good ones to hold onto.

Aaaaaand...discuss.

    Knowing more details about your roster is kinda important for that.

    Also is posting this in the "Roster help" forum

    Juggernaut is basically the only 1* you need. He can clean out the one-star node of the DDQ all by himself and works wonders in Balance of power and Combined arms.
    For two-stars, remember to keep an open slot to recruit the essential character of choice for the current PvE. You should definitely keep OBW though.

    If you're still not able to field a roster of 3* characters, a good 2* team to hold onto is Thor/Storm/Magneto. As Quebbster mentioned, you really only need Juggernaut as your 1*, and OBW will continue to be useful for a very long time. Beyond that, we'll need to know more about your roster.

    i'll add keep ares and until you can replace them with a usable 3* version, daken and axwolvie are very useful. My recommendation on 2* keeps are: storm, mnmags, ares, obw and then at least until you can replace them with the 3* version, thor, daken, ax wolvie. I've also kept hawkeye - just to play with when boosted and for what I think will be another ultron/avenger event, but that hasn't happened in a while. I've also kept thor for big enchilada (I like him better than the 3* there), even though I have a 166 thor and a dupe at 70 (but covered and almost spec'ed right)

    Out of curiosity, why do you like 2* thor better than 3* for the big enchilada?

    3* thor's abilities hit much harder than 2*. sounds like that is what you want, right? however, if you finish rd 1/3 TOO fast, you don't give yourself enough time for ap accumulation and then you face a character team in rd 2/4. I think 2* thor feeds storm's green just fine without dominating too much. admittedly it is very niche use, but he's usable when boosted in pve too. many substitute 3* as soon as they can and that can work too because you have much more health to work with, even if you do get there "too soon" - i'll recommend wait until the 3* has 5 yellow covers.

    I just know that most every time I enter wave 3 with at least 22 blue and most of the others in the 20s too, sometimes in the 30s and most always enter wave 4 pegged at 30 in all other than red (what I use to end wave 3 with).

    also, it is due to a discussion a dev had that indicated big enchilada was really for 3* characters and almost nobody used 2*s for it. this was true once I fully got to 3* land, but how I got there was using 2*s for that node. because of his comment, I went back to using 2*s and thormneto is my team. I do it so my data point is using a full 2* team.

    edit: if you are hurting badly for roster slots, ditching 2* thor is perfectly fine. nothing wrong with inserting 3* thor into there when covered.
