Indecision rears it's ugly head.

So thanks to this beautiful event I have more Iso than I know what to do with. Seriously, I can't decide who to level and I would love some input from some of you knowledgeable types. I typically save Iso for people who are buffed but with the large number of small buffs floating around and Loki having a scaling buff, that's not as important this event. I'm sitting at 38k Iso right now, enough HP to buy 3 3* covers (though kinda saving them until I get a red hulk).

Name Covers/current level/level I can get them
Punisher - 3-5-5/101/141
Spidey - 3-5-2/90/102
Patch - 3-4-3/62/102
Loki - 5-3/55/89
Obw - 3-5-5/65/85
Cap - 5-3-5/61/85
Hawkeye-M - 3-5-5/46/85
Thor - 5-4-4/24/85
Moonstone - 5-5-3/08/85
Storm mod - 4-5-4/16/85
Bullseye - 5-5/21/69
Daken - 5-5/12/69
IM40 - 3-3-1/53/66
Hulk - 3-0-3/41/64
Hood - 0-5-0/32/64
Mags MN - 3-3-3/07/53
Doom - 2-1/18/28

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I think I'm too close to the issue to make a decision.

    I have no input for you...for that I apologize. I will be keeping an eye on this thread as I am in the same boat as you, albeit with characters a few levels lower than yours.

    You're right about your Hulk needing more covers to be effective, otherwise I'd recommend dumping it on him. I'd go one of 2 ways:

    1. Save HP - Dump your ISO into Punisher since you have him at max covers. He's a tad squishy for 3*, but he's not going to be your tank long term anyways, and his abilities scale nicely with your level.
    2. Cover up your Patch and then dump ISO on him - maybe buy a few covers with your stockpiled HP, and/or try and earn a few from Simulation progression rewards. I've got mine at 110 now, and with full covers he's a total beast.

    I would lean towards #1 personally, just because HP for shields is a must if there's a PvP cover reward you just have to have, so I tend to hoard mine for those events where I know I'll need it. But either character at high levels will make your roster a lot tougher. Phantron will advocate for Patch when he gets here. icon_e_smile.gif

    Any input would be greatly appreciated. I think I'm too close to the issue to make a decision.

    Two main lines here I think, that you need to decisively choose one of the other:
    1. Level Punisher to 141. Having a maxed out 3* character is a pretty good deterrent against the hoards of 2* rosters, and Punisher is a fine, versatile character.
    2. Level Patch to 102, while hedging on being able to pick up covers from this event. Note that if you want to use Patch as a main character, you need to do it now since he needs to be the max level in your team to be able to use best there is effectively. This means that if you choose to level Punisher, it's going to take even more iso before you can actually use Patch. This is the riskier line, but is potentially more powerful since Patch can be a lot stronger than Punisher (but is less versatile since he has to be built around).

    Some less appealing options:
    3. Level OBW to 85. This is another option, since Widow is a lot better on offense than Spidey, but she is limited by her 2*ed nature. I still use her in conjunction with Punisher when I need to kill quickly though, so she will be useful for a long time.
    4. Level Spidey: meh due to him having an uncertain future.

    None of your other characters have covers, so those are your main options I feel.

    Walkyourpath, NorthernPolarity thank you for your feedback. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be able to get the yellow patch cover out of the progression rewards, not gonna hold my breath on the green or red so that'll be a nice bump and then I'll look into HP.

    Of course you know, as soon as I empty my ISO and some HP, i'm gonna get that elusive red Hulk.

    All of those are great suggestions...thank you for making this thread maggotbreath.

    I'm just throwing these out as they are the 3 stars I'd currently like to level up

    Spiderman 3-5-5 level 90/141
    GSBW 4-3-4 level 86/115 (i'll have the 5th green in 5 days)
    Punisher 2-0-5 level 72/77
    Hulk 5-1-2 level 60/79

    I'd include Patch, but he's stuck at level 41 with max covers (1-2-2)

    I'd very much like to level Hulk and Punisher, but the missing covers is a deterrent to me. Leaving GSBW as the most obvious choice...I just put 25K into her last week.

    I'm gonna agree w/ya on GSBW. You're in the same boat w/me on missing a critical cover for a hero you wanna level. Spidey's powers aren't level dependent so leveling him only increases match damage and health. Hulk could be my first choice if you have any HP to dump into him and would compliment widow with his anger.
