4* buffs for pvp

I was looking through the forums and really couldn't find a solid answer to my question, seems like people had different answers. I wanted to level my prof X as high as possible but still be able to have a level 166 character tank purple tiles even when he has the bonus boost. I also looked at my 4*s that were boosted for the week and those were quite inconsistent as well. The bonuses ranged for 8 levels to 75. To be more specific carnage had 8, deadpool had 27, and red hulk and x23 both had 75 bonus levels. It seems as if the new characters get a solid 75 bonus. But I'm not sure because I haven't boosted any of them. Out of all of them my deadpool is the highest at 127 (base level). His buff is higher than carnage's ( at level 78 base level). So does the bonus buff increase the higher your charcter is?
Bottom line is I don't want to go over prof X's threshold and have him tank the highest color. So when even buffed, what is the highest level he can be for a 166 to tank? I would be hella upset if I over leveled him and seeings how you can't take away levels I would be stuck. Hence why I came here for advice beforehand! Thanks for the explanations in advance!

    The answer is out there, but honestly, i stopped my PX at 166.. and he works fine.

    I will say this, even at lvl 270, a 166 SW still tanks green over JG... odd.

    For PvE it's 131. (They get 90 levels when boosted). Normal PvP is a % of the base level (thus less than PvE), so 131 at minimum is safe. I want to say the number is around 170 but don't have an exact answer, so obviously I wouldn't go that high.

    SW Green is secondary (strength 70) , JG Green is tertiary (strength 64).

    I know if you look at unboosted numbers, an unboosted 166-3* top color will tank for a 220-4* top color. if you want to consider boosted numbers, others will have to give the boost formulas.

    I have mine at 161 and never had a time when SW and GSBW didn't tank purple as most powerful color.
