Not quite sure how to quote/reply to my old posts on the new forums, spoiler tags don't show up. Also so much more laggy to type, not sure if I'd want to try!

First set where I was tracking:
https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/comment/557684/#Comment_557684
Seven seasons tracked, had only five champ 4* and not all champed 3* when I started posting in this thread. Ah, memories!

Second set where I was tracking:
http://forums.d3go.com/discussion/comment/662009/#Comment_662009
Looks like eight more seasons tracked there.

Last season: rushed to champ Thanos, opened hoard to get more levels on him - opened 3 Thanos and last 4 BP I needed, so forced to hoard again. Got to where I could champ BP late in season and opened 2nd part of hoard (fully) - pulled no BP and forced into two 4* champs, started hoarding 3rd time for final week of season.

3* changes: SL rostered, not champed. Three 266 (+2, Cage/Grocket), all three dupes started. Patch/BPKK/Mag/SG/BE/Blade/Cap/Rag/BW all 255+, all BH until I stop chasing LT.

4* changes C&D rostered. 37 champed (+2: Gwenpool, Mordo). 9 at 172 (+duck).

Vaulted 4* status: Unchamped Wasp about to join my six other ignored , vaulted 4*'s (PX/WM/GR/IW/Drax/MrF [/Duck]). Drew to champ BP - instead drew SEVEN Gwenpool and SEVEN Mordo - raced to champ both. Venom/Riri unchamped with 13 covers, IF/C&D don't have 13.

5* changes: No daily drop and haven't pulled a classic for three seasons, no changes there. Thanos 453 (+3), 3/5/45BP (+4, one was bonus hero), HE 1/3/2 (+6). No 5k iso [whoops, I mean no SL]

145/156 Roster spots (+9 used, prepping for more dupe 3*'s, added all the 1*'s again).
498cp/12LT - pulled at start of season after champing Thanos, started hoarding again near end of season when I pulled to 13 BP.
Level 104 (+4)
Day 1137 ; next daily drops - (third) War Machine, not champed and will be wasted, can't waste iso on vaulted characters.

Next season plan: Still hoarding so I don't waste BP if I pull any. Will hoard until SL goes into 5* tokens, then pull everything and hope to champ BP within two weeks.

After that I may move back to classics, depends on HE status. Also will work on last couple remaining non-champed non-vaulted 4*'s, Riri first.

Last season:

3* SL champed. 10x266 (+7), all re-rostered and first dupe copy 3* champed (Cap). After >os left latest, only <os BH until done (currently 233)

4* Changes: Riri, Venom champed. C&D 12 covers, Grocket/Gamora each 5. Only those three unchamped and unvaulted, 6+Duck vaulted unchamped.

5* Changes: Pulled hoard day before Thanos left, continuing to pull LT's until BP leaves but saving CP. Thanos 462 (+9, two from BH), BP 463 (+13 somehow), HE 2/3/4 (+3), SL 1/0/0 (+1).

153/156 roster spots (+8 used, dupe 3*'s piling up, +R&G/Gamora/5SL)
485cp/0LT (pulled all the day before Thanos left, that is CP since then)
Level 109 (+5)
Day 1165

Next season plan: Maybe go back to the wasteland that is classics. Hopefully champ C&D.

Last season:

3* 19x266 (+9), four dupe copies champed (+3), six more dupes at 13 covers, Thanos BH at 260.
4* C&D champed, Gamora champed, Grocket 13 covers + 4 in queue, should get champed in next 10 days. Only Sandman, 6+Duck unchamped. BH Carol at 330, 317 next biggest.
5*: Pulled CP after BP entered classics, pulling LT's to try to finish HE. HE 3/4/5 (if swap accepted) (+3), SL 3/1/4 (sad +7), Ock 0/0/0. BP 464 (+1) Thanos 467 (+5, two or three from BH), OML 451 (+2, leveled from 435) SS 451 (+2, leveled from 356), Phx 459 (+1), 453 Strange (+0), 4/4/1 Cap (+1 Daily drop), 4/3/2 IM (+0), 1/5/0 GG (+0), 2/2/2 BB (+1), 5/3/1 BW (+2), 2/4/1 Hulk (+2).

5* Dupes: Phx 0/1/0, SS 3/0/1, GG 0/2/0 (+1), BSSM 1/0/0 (+1 - CS WOULD NOT SWAP, despite that I have never had a one-time exemption and many team-mates got one this same season!)

164/166 roster spots (+9 used, +Sandman new)
0cp/LT
Level 113 (+4)
Day 1192

Next season plan: Finish Grocket, giving 11/12 latest done (again). Rebuild 2* Farm and re-champ several 3*'s.

Last season:

3* 21x266 (+2), 14 dupe copies champed (+10), four more dupes at 13 covers. BHing either LR characters or next-PVP characters if not maxed.
4* Vulture rostered (level 172 soon, 2/2/5) Sandman to 172 (1/3/5), Grocket champed. BH Carol 342 (+12, about half and half covers/bonus) Not champed: Duck, PX, IW, MrF, Drax, GR, WM, Wasp. Drew Wasp, WM, MrF today with un-announced token change (27 draws).
5* Pulled latest until 13 covers for HE (+1), then hoarded until today, leaving HE at 255. Hoped to pull many 4*'s to use - but tokens suddenly changed, and had four wasted. SL 3/2/5 (+2), Ock 1/2/3 (+6), Spidey 1/1/0 (+2)
Have opened Classics with CP: Thanos +1 (468, possibly BH), BP + 1 (465), Strange +1 (454), SS +1 (452), 4/5/2 Cap +2, 2/5/1 Hulk +1. Had some HUGE dry streaks in here, very low pull season. Wish they'd fix that....

171/173 roster spots (two empty, +Spiderman + Vulture, +many 3* dupes)
Level 118 (+5...nervous this is getting close to "cap"...)
Day 1222, only 4* Cycs coming up in rewards for a few months. 5*'s WAY to far apart after this many days played.

Next season: champ more dupe 3* as covers arrive. Hoard ISO in between, champ Sandman/Vulture if possible, old 4*'s if not or start on HE if I randomly draw him (may hoard CP to prevent that)

Last season:

3* 29x266 (+8), 21 dupe copies champed (+7).
4* Vulture champed, PX champed (only non-duck character that wasn't at 172 or champed), Yondu rostered. BH Carol 354 (+12).
5*  Not great on latest front: SL 3/3/5 (+1 only), Ock 2/2/4 (+2), Spidey 1/2/0 (+1)

Thanos 270 (+2, one BH one not) BP 466 (+1), Strange 455 (+1), OML 453 (+2), Cap 5/5/2 (+1), BW 5/5/1 (+2? I think +1 and I missed one last season), Bolt 2/3/2 (+1), GG 1/5/1 (+1)
BSSM SECOND copy +1, now up to 7/1/3.

178/183 roster spots
Level 122 : will hit cap this season!
day 1248

Next season: maybe finally get 5HE champed.

Last season:

3* 33x266 (+4), 27 dupe copies champed (+6)
4* Sandman champed, IW champed, Lockjaw rostered. BH Carol 363 (+9). Only Duck, Drax, GR, MrF, War Machine, Wasp remain as old unchamped, Yondu, Mockinbird, Lockjaw as only new (uncovered) unchamped.
5* Latest: Got lucky on latest and pulled SL until 13 covers, but needed two swaps to do it (last one on his final day in tokens). No ISO to champ him. 1/2/0 Spidey (+1) 2/2/4 Ock (+2), and there they will stay - started hoarding the day after the increased 5* chances "mistake" on classics. Will pull latests the day before DD leaves to get one for PVE, or before if he's featured. Holding 21 latest since the day DD came in.
5* Classic: 470 Thanos/467 Panther/459 Phx/455 Strange/453 OML/452 SS/451 HE will not be improving during hoard days. Cap 5/5/2 BW 5/5/1 IM 5/3/2 (+1 daily drop) BSSM 5/1/3 Hulk 2/5/1 Goblin 1/5/1 Bolt 2/3/2. - only +1 total due to hoard starting early.

185/186 roster spots (+3)
Level 125 (+3). "Winner!"
Day 1282

Next season: holding Torch, Daken, and Elecktra 3* covers. Re-champing going to get harder without Level SCL bonus iso coming in.

Last two mini-seasons:
3* 37x266 (+4), 31 dupe copies champed (+4), all newer 3*'s champed and on their way.
4*: All rostered, War Machine and Ghost Rider champed: Only MrF/Wasp/Drax max covered unchamped now. Lockjaw/Mockingbird/Rogue/Yondu all 172 not fully covered (haven't been pulling tokens). Captain Marvel BH removed for fan favorites: 369 (+6), Medusa got it (337), Dino back to third highest 4* (333)
5*: Started holding LT's when SL left: Gambit and DD not rostered. Weak Spidey, probably will pull for one DD and then open more seriously for Gambit + next two. Hoarded CP after classic-gate "mistake", but used it on fan favorite tokens, which were good for me:
474 Thanos (+4, one as BH) 469 BP (+2) 462 Phx (+3) 456 Strange (+1) 455 SS (+2) 454 OML (+1) 5/5/2 BW (+1) 4/4/3 Bolt (+4). Downside: 2/2/0 dupe Widow added, thanks for no swaps D3.


Day 1303
193/193 roster spots (+7)
70 LT (Hoarded since day SL left)
0 CP (Hoarded since classic-gate, opened with fan favorites on anniversary)

Next season: hoard for everything, so not much movement on 4*'s. Maybe champ 5* SL eventually.

It's a good time to update the roster after anniversary just ended.

2* farm has been delayed for the past month since I focus all iso on 5* and 4*.

3* farm still growing and sold couple maxed ones to assist the champions of higher class.

4* I champed dupped carol, Prof X, Nick Fury, Dino. There are only three character remained: Lockjaw, War Machine and Rogue.
Dupped character in progress: Riri, Peggy, Medusa

5* had a terrible RNG last month.. got unusable covers for both BB (three black covers) and PHX (1 purple cover). Fully covered Oct now. 

Plan:
After the new 5* essential nodes are introduced, it's important to have every 5* roster and championed. Just Fully covered Oct and will level him up when he becomes essential again later. Among the latest 5*, spidey is at 7 cover and DD is at 10 covers. I will wait until gambit is in the latest token and continue to test my RNG luck. 

BH

3* BH: BH all characters whose levels are less than 216 (just the half way to 266).

4* BH: Current, only grocket is chosen. 

5* BH: BB and spidey. 

Dormammu

It's an interesting time for my roster and all I've been doing is scraping for every point of ISO I can get (currently hitting seed teams in double-iso lightning rounds) and hoarding LTs and CPs. Progression in The Hunt is 4-star Grocket and that will be my 14th cover so it's (finally!) time to champ them.

Once 5-star Gambit is in latest legends it'll be time to cash in my mini-hoard. Not for Gambit - for Rogue. She currently sits at 1/4/3 on my roster and I've been determined to champ her ASAP ever since she was announced (and when my mini-hoard began). I just figured I'd wait for Ock to leave and Gambit to enter Latest Legends in case I get lucky and pull any 5-stars (I still need DD too, and my 1/3/1 Peter Parker wouldn't complain about more covers).

I've also been hoarding Heroic Tokens - as soon as I can set 3-star Gambit as my bonus hero I'll chase champ levels for him I already have him champed but want him to become more usable/robust and hopefully nab an extra Rogue cover. I'll likely pull this hoard at the same time - over 100 tokens worth so far. Should have been hoarding Elite's too for the same reason, but my hoarding willpower has its limits.

Anyways, to make a long story longer, looking forward to Grocket and Rogue - two elite 4-stars - joining my champed list.

Anniversary - pre Wins season 5-21 Oct

Finding the forum posting interface quite impossible for what I used to do, so just a quick recap and dirty cutnpaste. 

Anniversary double iso and a decision to clean up my roster by cutting loose the remaining original 3*s who had hit 266 means I find myself suddenly in a post-iso-debt condition. Strange and discomfiting. At the moment I am sitting on just enough iso to max and champion a 5* from 255, but I have no 5*s left to level! Nor 4*s, nor 3*s, because I already softcapped whoever had enough covers. 

Was pulling latests until I decided I really had too many Ocks for my liking, then went to pulling classics until I decided I should save some cp for Gambit.

Opened mostly only whatever Mes Amis and Fan Favourites tokens I got from vaults/events/whatever because those are horrible ideas for tokens and I feel sorry for whoever was buying them with cp unless they were lucky enough to get in on the narrow 25% odds glitch.

Sold all the remaining from first generation original 40, after rechamping all. Built and champed Strange dupe, building dupe Thanos, added and champed Gambit (new). 

2*s on a deliberate slowed cycle to maintain iso gain.

Notable stats:
5* - Phoenix (460), Surfer (458), and OML (454) will soon be joined by Panther in the champed 5s camp. Pulling classics is causing everyone to slowly move up, although wasted covers may start being a concern.

Thanos (232) and Strange (233) have started passing non-token 3*, so now I change my BH to the lowest 3 3* every week.  Star-Lord is my only unchamped 3*, Hawkeye is lowest champ at 194, and everyone else is 227-264.

1*s: All rostered, Iron Man Juggernaut Storm at max level

Changes over the past month
1. Anniversary's double ISO event provided me with enough ISO to champ yet another 4 4*s, with Carnage, Mr Fantastic, Kate Bishop and Mockingbird all joining the Hall of Fame. Could have been more had I not had my 2* farm to take care of midway through the month. 
2. Of the 9 max covered 4*s in the previous update, Carnage and Mr Fantastic have left the gang, with Spider-Gwen and Winter Soldier joining to maintain the number at 9. Meanwhile, Mockingbird got her last cover from an event as planned, and bonus heroes has been kind to Kate Bishop, allowing both of them to shoot straight to my list of champions
3. My first max champed 3* has arrived in the form of Wolverine. Dupe not started for him yet, but coming once I get one of his covers. Scarlet Witch not far behind at lvl261. The rest... not so much.
4. Leveling priority right now goes to Ghost Rider (in progress), followed by The Hulk, Spider-Gwen/Quake (wanna get the ladies up quick), Winter Soldier, War Machine/Miles Morales and Venom/Sandman
5. ISO Usage and Debt

ISO to cap (3*-4*): 4.5M (Previous Update: 5.1M)
ISO to max (3*-4*): 6.4M (Previous Update: 7.1M)
ISO invested (all characters): 26.6M (Previous Update: 24.3M)
Another month, another step closer to bring my ISO to cap down to 4M, with a huge 600K decrease. With some luck I should be able to hit that target by the end of next month.

In the previous month I've champed Teen Jean, Devil Dino (got 18 covers during the Anniversary event), Thoress (Daily resupply), XForce Deadpool (Heroic), Wasp (Legendary), and now I'm working on Vulture (also Legendary).  My 2* farm is virtually non-existent at this point, and I even sold off and re-covered a 3* IM40 (with a couple covers expiring).  I also have a fully covered 3* Gambit that needs to be champed.

So, now the plan is to finish champing Vulture (can't wait ), then I'll champ IM40, and then I'll bring my 2* farm back up again to full strength (8 are fully covered and waiting for champing).  And then, after all that, I'll champ 3* Gambit .

Not quite sure how to quote/reply to my old posts on the new forums, spoiler tags don't show up. Also so much more laggy to type, not sure if I'd want to try!

Seven seasons tracked, had only five champ 4* and not all champed 3* when I started posting in this thread. Ah, memories!

Second set where I was tracking:
http://forums.d3go.com/discussion/comment/662009/#Comment_662009
Looks like eight more seasons tracked there.

Last season: rushed to champ Thanos, opened hoard to get more levels on him - opened 3 Thanos and last 4 BP I needed, so forced to hoard again. Got to where I could champ BP late in season and opened 2nd part of hoard (fully) - pulled no BP and forced into two 4* champs, started hoarding 3rd time for final week of season.

3* changes: SL rostered, not champed. Three 266 (+2, Cage/Grocket), all three dupes started. Patch/BPKK/Mag/SG/BE/Blade/Cap/Rag/BW all 255+, all BH until I stop chasing LT.

4* changes C&D rostered. 37 champed (+2: Gwenpool, Mordo). 9 at 172 (+duck).

Vaulted 4* status: Unchamped Wasp about to join my six other ignored , vaulted 4*'s (PX/WM/GR/IW/Drax/MrF [/Duck]). Drew to champ BP - instead drew SEVEN Gwenpool and SEVEN Mordo - raced to champ both. Venom/Riri unchamped with 13 covers, IF/C&D don't have 13.

5* changes: No daily drop and haven't pulled a classic for three seasons, no changes there. Thanos 453 (+3), 3/5/45BP (+4, one was bonus hero), HE 1/3/2 (+6). No 5k iso [whoops, I mean no SL]

145/156 Roster spots (+9 used, prepping for more dupe 3*'s, added all the 1*'s again).
498cp/12LT - pulled at start of season after champing Thanos, started hoarding again near end of season when I pulled to 13 BP.
Level 104 (+4)
Day 1137 ; next daily drops - (third) War Machine, not champed and will be wasted, can't waste iso on vaulted characters.

Next season plan: Still hoarding so I don't waste BP if I pull any. Will hoard until SL goes into 5* tokens, then pull everything and hope to champ BP within two weeks.

After that I may move back to classics, depends on HE status. Also will work on last couple remaining non-champed non-vaulted 4*'s, Riri first.

Last season:

3* SL champed. 10x266 (+7), all re-rostered and first dupe copy 3* champed (Cap). After >os left latest, only <os BH until done (currently 233)

4* Changes: Riri, Venom champed. C&D 12 covers, Grocket/Gamora each 5. Only those three unchamped and unvaulted, 6+Duck vaulted unchamped.

5* Changes: Pulled hoard day before Thanos left, continuing to pull LT's until BP leaves but saving CP. Thanos 462 (+9, two from BH), BP 463 (+13 somehow), HE 2/3/4 (+3), SL 1/0/0 (+1).

153/156 roster spots (+8 used, dupe 3*'s piling up, +R&G/Gamora/5SL)
485cp/0LT (pulled all the day before Thanos left, that is CP since then)
Level 109 (+5)
Day 1165

Next season plan: Maybe go back to the wasteland that is classics. Hopefully champ C&D.

Last season:

3* 19x266 (+9), four dupe copies champed (+3), six more dupes at 13 covers, Thanos BH at 260.
4* C&D champed, Gamora champed, Grocket 13 covers + 4 in queue, should get champed in next 10 days. Only Sandman, 6+Duck unchamped. BH Carol at 330, 317 next biggest.
5*: Pulled CP after BP entered classics, pulling LT's to try to finish HE. HE 3/4/5 (if swap accepted) (+3), SL 3/1/4 (sad +7), Ock 0/0/0. BP 464 (+1) Thanos 467 (+5, two or three from BH), OML 451 (+2, leveled from 435) SS 451 (+2, leveled from 356), Phx 459 (+1), 453 Strange (+0), 4/4/1 Cap (+1 Daily drop), 4/3/2 IM (+0), 1/5/0 GG (+0), 2/2/2 BB (+1), 5/3/1 BW (+2), 2/4/1 Hulk (+2).

5* Dupes: Phx 0/1/0, SS 3/0/1, GG 0/2/0 (+1), BSSM 1/0/0 (+1 - CS WOULD NOT SWAP, despite that I have never had a one-time exemption and many team-mates got one this same season!)

164/166 roster spots (+9 used, +Sandman new)
0cp/LT
Level 113 (+4)
Day 1192

Next season plan: Finish Grocket, giving 11/12 latest done (again). Rebuild 2* Farm and re-champ several 3*'s.

Last season:

3* 21x266 (+2), 14 dupe copies champed (+10), four more dupes at 13 covers. BHing either LR characters or next-PVP characters if not maxed.
4* Vulture rostered (level 172 soon, 2/2/5) Sandman to 172 (1/3/5), Grocket champed. BH Carol 342 (+12, about half and half covers/bonus) Not champed: Duck, PX, IW, MrF, Drax, GR, WM, Wasp. Drew Wasp, WM, MrF today with un-announced token change (27 draws).
5* Pulled latest until 13 covers for HE (+1), then hoarded until today, leaving HE at 255. Hoped to pull many 4*'s to use - but tokens suddenly changed, and had four wasted. SL 3/2/5 (+2), Ock 1/2/3 (+6), Spidey 1/1/0 (+2)
Have opened Classics with CP: Thanos +1 (468, possibly BH), BP + 1 (465), Strange +1 (454), SS +1 (452), 4/5/2 Cap +2, 2/5/1 Hulk +1. Had some HUGE dry streaks in here, very low pull season. Wish they'd fix that....

171/173 roster spots (two empty, +Spiderman + Vulture, +many 3* dupes)
Level 118 (+5...nervous this is getting close to "cap"...)
Day 1222, only 4* Cycs coming up in rewards for a few months. 5*'s WAY to far apart after this many days played.

Next season: champ more dupe 3* as covers arrive. Hoard ISO in between, champ Sandman/Vulture if possible, old 4*'s if not or start on HE if I randomly draw him (may hoard CP to prevent that)

Last season:

3* 29x266 (+8), 21 dupe copies champed (+7).
4* Vulture champed, PX champed (only non-duck character that wasn't at 172 or champed), Yondu rostered. BH Carol 354 (+12).
5*  Not great on latest front: SL 3/3/5 (+1 only), Ock 2/2/4 (+2), Spidey 1/2/0 (+1)

Thanos 270 (+2, one BH one not) BP 466 (+1), Strange 455 (+1), OML 453 (+2), Cap 5/5/2 (+1), BW 5/5/1 (+2? I think +1 and I missed one last season), Bolt 2/3/2 (+1), GG 1/5/1 (+1)
BSSM SECOND copy +1, now up to 7/1/3.

178/183 roster spots
Level 122 : will hit cap this season!
day 1248

Next season: maybe finally get 5HE champed.

Last season:

3* 33x266 (+4), 27 dupe copies champed (+6)
4* Sandman champed, IW champed, Lockjaw rostered. BH Carol 363 (+9). Only Duck, Drax, GR, MrF, War Machine, Wasp remain as old unchamped, Yondu, Mockinbird, Lockjaw as only new (uncovered) unchamped.
5* Latest: Got lucky on latest and pulled SL until 13 covers, but needed two swaps to do it (last one on his final day in tokens). No ISO to champ him. 1/2/0 Spidey (+1) 2/2/4 Ock (+2), and there they will stay - started hoarding the day after the increased 5* chances "mistake" on classics. Will pull latests the day before DD leaves to get one for PVE, or before if he's featured. Holding 21 latest since the day DD came in.
5* Classic: 470 Thanos/467 Panther/459 Phx/455 Strange/453 OML/452 SS/451 HE will not be improving during hoard days. Cap 5/5/2 BW 5/5/1 IM 5/3/2 (+1 daily drop) BSSM 5/1/3 Hulk 2/5/1 Goblin 1/5/1 Bolt 2/3/2. - only +1 total due to hoard starting early.

185/186 roster spots (+3)
Level 125 (+3). "Winner!"
Day 1282

Next season: holding Torch, Daken, and Elecktra 3* covers. Re-champing going to get harder without Level SCL bonus iso coming in.

Last two mini-seasons:
3* 37x266 (+4), 31 dupe copies champed (+4), all newer 3*'s champed and on their way.
4*: All rostered, War Machine and Ghost Rider champed: Only MrF/Wasp/Drax max covered unchamped now. Lockjaw/Mockingbird/Rogue/Yondu all 172 not fully covered (haven't been pulling tokens). Captain Marvel BH removed for fan favorites: 369 (+6), Medusa got it (337), Dino back to third highest 4* (333)
5*: Started holding LT's when SL left: Gambit and DD not rostered. Weak Spidey, probably will pull for one DD and then open more seriously for Gambit + next two. Hoarded CP after classic-gate "mistake", but used it on fan favorite tokens, which were good for me:
474 Thanos (+4, one as BH) 469 BP (+2) 462 Phx (+3) 456 Strange (+1) 455 SS (+2) 454 OML (+1) 5/5/2 BW (+1) 4/4/3 Bolt (+4). Downside: 2/2/0 dupe Widow added, thanks for no swaps D3.


Day 1303
193/193 roster spots (+7)
70 LT (Hoarded since day SL left)
0 CP (Hoarded since classic-gate, opened with fan favorites on anniversary)

Next season: hoard for everything, so not much movement on 4*'s. Maybe champ 5* SL eventually.

Well, bummer to drain CP last season since apparently Gambit = God.

3* 38x266 (+1), 32 dupe copies champed (+1). Slowing down here with almost all originals max champed and nearly all dupes done.
4*: MrF/Drax both champed since level cap was increased and I had copies. Lockjaw champed. Rogue/Yondu at max 229, Mockingbird at max 209, NIghtcrawler at max 198. Only Duck and Wasp remain unchamped from older ones. Carol finished, BH moved to R&G (294)
5*: Pulled some tokens to get a DD for 5e. one-cover DD, +3 Gambit (2/0/1).

Day 1333
SCL 133.9
78 LT (pulled about 20 for DD)
1328 CP

Next season: keep hoarding I guess. With three covers on Spidey and one on DD, probably makes the most sense to hoard for Gambit/Thor/3rd. Hoard ISO as well to get ready for those, currently at 950k.

....honestly, game is getting boring, and you can see it right here. Only 5*'s matter, and classic dilution kills any "progress" on getting them bigger. 4*'s matter only when basically maxed AND boosted, the drop rate on them is so slow that getting more than a couple that way is nearly impossible. "Hoard for next 5*" and "Play against boosted 5* that you don't have" gets REALLY old, REALLY fast.

This was a surprising season for me. Despite the wins format which I refused to play through for most events, between the sakaar events, pves featuring wave nodes and a million tokens, and a large segment of my farm reaching the point where everything is awesome, I ended up with having a ton of pulls, including a bunch of lts/cp hoarded up towards the end of anniversary.

I think I just hit an important milestone. I just cycled my first two 3* champs - Cap and Blade. I had started working on dupes when they both got to 257, the Cap dupe was finished first and the champ has been sitting at 266 for a while. The blade dupe is still missing 1-2 covers, but I ended up maxing the champ already. I kept them on my roster for a little while, since I didn't have any urgent need to sell them straight away but today I needed a roster slot of Main Event Hulk and had an Ant-Man cover on the vine. So I sold off two 3* champs rostered a new character and champed another.

It's good. Combined with getting past the 50% point for champing 4*'s, it feels like I've finally got to the "next level" for my roster. 4* covers are more likely to be usable than not, which means I'm increasing my inbound ISO which helps me champ those remaining 4*'s which means that the pool of covers that I end up selling off is getting smaller and smaller.

I'm going to swap my 4* BH from Nightcrawler (since I'm not likely to get the 4 additional covers I need for SHIELD Training to get the Hulk cover) to Vulture (since he's already at 11 covers, so I should just finish him off already and start working towards that 5* cover champ reward).

I finished champing Vulture (love him!), and i also took the time and resources to champ up all my 2* farm (9 characters) and my second im40.

During that time I sold a couple 14th 4* covers from Heroic tokens, but I just really wanted to get the 2*farm happening again, and I had 3*s to champion.

So now, I pulled a Prof X cover, so ill have him championed tomorrow, and Mockingbird will get champed next with her 14th and 15th covers on the vine.

After those two I'll champ 3* gambit, and I've been building up a dupe Dr Strang3 to keep the 3* farm going.

After that we will see.  I have been hoarding for GladiaThor, so ill be pulling from LLs once he enters tokens.  Once I get one of his covers (I hope), then I'll stop pulling and go back to hoarding.  Depending on who I pull, I may hold off (again) on champing 3Gambit.

You probably passed that point a lot earlier, since the odds of acquiring classic and latest covers is different.

For example, based on what's currently available from legendary tokens I've got 9 of 12 latest characters champed, and 10 of 44 classics champed.  Given that there is equal probability of pulling a latest character vs. a classic, that means I've got a 49% chance of pulling a champed 4* despite only having champed 34% of those characters.

Click to see my update from the end of July, and the link in my sig for my full roster:

DAY: 450
SCL RANK: 91 (1827/3425)
ROSTER SLOTS: 122
4* ISO SHORTAGE: 355,453 (plus a 25,000 champ fee for two characters, for a total of 380,453)
OVERALL ISO SHORTAGE: 1,789,317 (plus that 25K champ fee and whatever the champ fee is for a 5* for a total of at least 1,814,317)

1. Iron Man Level 50 5/4/4
2. Juggernaut Level 40 5/5
3. Spider-Man Level 50 5/4/4

 
I've got all the   characters (except Bagman) rotating through the farm. As soon as one gets champed, I hold on to any of their covers I draw until I get 13 covers, then sell the champ and re-roster and champ them. If I don't have the right mix of covers in a two week span, then I just sell and re-roster with what I have and champ when I get to 13. No change.

  
Every single    character is rostered and champed. Character levels range from Iron Man at Level 251 to Hood at 181. I got Gamora (Level 223) to the yellow Star-Lord cover. She's still a bonus hero as I at least want to get her to the LT at 227. I've added Rocket and Groot (235) in an effort to get them to 265 for Drax's red cover and Hulk (217) to get the blue Chulk cover at 223. Drax red and Chulk blue are the only covers in the 4* tier I'm missing. Also added Doc Ock (182) and Hood (181) to get them their 4* reward covers at 183.

   
I champed two more characters this month: Cloak and Dagger and Peggy. War Machine and X-Force Wolverine are fully covered, but sitting at Level 250 lacking ISO to champ them right now, since I chose to put some ISO in some characters that had been sitting underleveled for quite awhile instead. Champ total is 13, plus two more fully covered.

I have every     rostered. My champs range from Blade at Level 290 to Peggy at Level 270. Beyond War Machine (3/5/5), and Wolverine (4/5/4) at Level 250, I have Mr. Fantastic (3/3/5) and Rocket and Groot (2/5/4) at Level 229 to Chulk (1/0/1) at Level 74. I feel like I'm slowly getting some of these lower end characters pulled up. I have a number in the 188-168 range with another bunch in the 152-127 range. The rest are 115 and below. I'm at least able to play at a level that I can usually get T10 or T5 in SCL7 or SCL8, which is good for a 1-3 covers, plus another through progression. Crashes are coming along, and I've been on a winning streak for the last month or two.

    
1. Thanos Level 255 5/1/4
2. Black Panther Level 255 5/3/5
3. Hawkeye Level 255 4/0/1
4. Dr. Strange Level 255 1/1/3
5. Spider-Man Level 255 0/2/0
6. Iron Man Level 255 0/0/1
7. Silver Surfer Level 255 0/0/1
8. Green Goblin Level 255 0/1/0
9. Star-Lord Level 255 0/0/1

Got one more 5* character, but still not putting any ISO into them yet. Still trying to catch up with my 4*s. Once that happens, I might bring up the ones I can to Level 280 or 290 or so. Basically nothing ahead of my 4*s, at least not until the hypothetical scaling changes take effect.

WHAT'S NEXT?
I doubt I'll add any more at the  tier.

The   farm is going strong and I plan to keep rotating them through.

I pretty much already covered my plans for the    tier above, at least in terms of Bonus Heroes. Now that vaulting seems to be over, I think my strategy will be to try and use Bonus Heroes to pull up the characters that were left behind during vaulting. I'm also starting to get to the point where I need to consider adding roster slots for dupes. Well, for IM40 at least. RNG decided to bless me with covers for him. I've seen others say they start a dupe once the original gets to Level 257, and I think that will be my strategy as well. This should keep me busy for awhile.

As far as the     tier goes, I blew the CP I had going for 5pidey covers. Only got two, but added some champ levels and covers for 4* characters. I'm hoarding LTs and CP until Doc Ock rotates out and hoping that the next two 5*s will be better. So I'm not seeing a ton of action at this tier. Most cover acquisitions come through progression and placement in both PvE and PvP. Last season was the first I got 900 in almost every PvP and hit 10K for the season overall.

At first I was a little bummed to see that my ISO debt jumped from the last report, as I had brought up a number of underleveled characters that had been sitting for a long time. But most of those were lower level. I also picked up several covers through PvP events and had to level some of those characters as well. Lastly some of the covers I picked up were for characters at higher levels, thus adding more to the debt. So while the debt went up, its not spread out over so many characters. As I'm judging progress more on the percentage of characters at their level max, I'm still considering it progress. I only have five not at the current max level, whereas last update I had probably more than a dozen.

I'm hoping to get Coulson's yellow cover from the current PvP and also to place well in Meet Rocket and Groot. If I do, I'll be able to champ R&G, and Coulson will be able to get to Level 229. Now that vaulting seems to be over, I think my plan is to still put ISO towards the Latest 12 and then go back and give it to vintage characters where possible. I'm hoping to get everyone caught up this season and maybe put some ISO into my 5*s. We'll have to see how PvP shakes out though and which covers I get through progression.

Spider-Gwen was my sole bonus hero when I was chasing 5pidey covers, and she went from 2/0/2 Level 106 to 3/3/3 Level 188. I've switched it over to Drax for now, hoping to get red or 3* Rocket and Groot to 265, whichever comes first. After that, I'll probably use it like the 3* tier, and try and pull up some of my lower covered characters.

I let my VIP status lapse a bit in the wake of the Heroes for Hire debacle. I'm still not a fan of that change, but vaulting seems to be over. They did have a sale for VIP through the Amazon App Store though, and I wasn't able to resist it for five bucks. I was gonna be one and done, but with the end of vaulting, I'll probably renew.

So let's get on with it.

OVERALL ISO SHORTAGE: 7,567,939 (More or less. Plus the champ fee for two 5*s, whatever that is.)

1. Iron Man Level 50 5/4/4
2. Juggernaut Level 40 5/5
3. Spider-Man Level 50 5/4/4

 
I've got all the   characters (except Bagman) rotating through the farm. Normally as soon as one gets champed, I hold on to any of their covers I draw until I get 13 covers, then sell the champ and re-roster and champ them. If I don't have the right mix of covers in a two week span, then I just sell and re-roster with what I have and champ when I get to 13. I'm rushing to champ my first 5* right now though, so my farm is kind of on hold right now.

  
Every single    character is rostered and champed. Character levels range from a maxed Grocket at Level 266 to Gambit at 170. My BH(s) rotate around to whoever is close to getting me an LT or a 4* cover. I've also started a 3* farm and have five dupes so far.

   
I've really turned a corner in this tier. I have more than half of them champed (34/59), with another four fully covered waiting on ISO. I cracked my hoard over the span of about six weeks to make it happen. Apparently I've champed 21 more characters since late July, an average of about five a month. Most of them came in October between anniversary and my first real hoard crack once Doc Ock rotated out of tokens.

I have every     rostered. My champs range from Mordo at Level 302 to Iceman at Level 271. A number are chilling at 209, and my least covered is ME Hulk at 1/1/1 Level 78. Kate Bishop is also Level 78, but 2/5/5. I have a total of 16 at 13 or 12 covers. In fact, besides ME Hulk, there's only three characters not in double digits for total number of covers, and they're all at nine (2/2/5 Moon Knight, 2/3/4 Venom and 5/3/1 Professor X). I'm at least able to play at a level that I can usually get T10 or T5 in SCL7 or SCL8, which is good for 1-3 covers, plus another through progression. I've also been hitting 900/40 wins the past several seasons. Crashes are coming along, and I've been on a winning streak since Hulkbuster.

    
1. Thanos Level 290 5/1/4
2. Black Panther Level 290 5/3/5
3. Daredevil Level 255 4/5/4
4. Spider-Man Level 255 5/5/1
5. Dr. Strange Level 255 2/3/4
6. Gambit Level 255 1/1/4
7. Hawkeye Level 255 4/0/1
8. Jean Grey Level 255 0/0/3
9. Doctor Octopus Level 255 2/0/0
10. Silver Surfer Level 255 1/1/1
11. Green Goblin Level 255 1/1/0
12. Iron Man Level 255 1/0/1
13. Black Widow Level 255 0/1/0
14. Star-Lord Level 255 0/0/1
15. The Hulk Level 255 0/1/0
16. Thor Level 255 0/1/0

I've been aiming to get at least one cover for each 5* character since they added the essential node in PvE, so that's really built up my character total although most of them are just one cover. I managed to get 5pidey mostly covered, but hit the jackpot with Daredevil. Got him covered and have about eight covers in my queue, so I think he'll be my first 5* champ. Unfortunately that means I'm neglecting some 4*s and my 2* farm to make it happen. Only characters I'm missing are 5teve and BiB Spidey and they're my bonus heroes.

WHAT'S NEXT?
I doubt I'll add any more at the  tier.

The   farm is being passed over right now, but I plan to keep rotating them through when I can.

The    tier is closing in on maxing out. One's already there (Grocket) and I've got five dupes started. I'm looking forward to cycling them for more champ rewards, but am also kind of dreading the repeat of an HP/ISO crunch. I mean, I'm already in a severe ISO crunch, this will just add to that. I'm intending to keep my 266 characters, but I might change my mind if I need ISO or roster space.

As I mentioned, the biggest gain by far was the     tier. I'd been hoarding since I blew the CP I had going for 5pidey covers in his store. I ended up pulling a few times here and there, but my first real crack was the Mes Amis store, then later in the month. I had roughly 291 pulls over the span of six weeks or so. I'm over halfway champed in the tier, and most of the rest have at least 10 covers. Still getting a lot of T5 and T10 finishes in CL8 coupled with 900/40 wins in PvP.

All that activity in the 4* tier means my ISO reserves took a serious hit. I was over 2 million at one point. Now I'm forsaking my 2* farm and some fully covered 4*s to try and champ my first 5* (Daredevil). Once I get him taken care of, I might try to get the 2* farm running again. Otherwise, it will be any 4* that's fully covered or has covers expiring. I'm back to hoarding LTs and CP until Daredevil rotates out, I think. If I do manage to champ him, it would probably be smart to get as many champ levels as I can on him, but that would probably entail a lot of 4* cover wastage. So hoarding it is.

Now: day 543, SR just shy of 109, 151 roster slots.

Apparently, it's been a while - haven't done this since July.

*
4: IM, MBW, Storm and Spidey. IM is the only one with any levels, but the others help out with DDQ.

**
All champed and farming. 4 dupe slots seems to be enough for now. Bagman continues his slow creep upwards, and is at level 97.

***
All champed, including Cap's dupe. He was the first to hit 266, but Strange and IM40 aren't far behind. Their dupes are started, but still low on covers. I'm trying to build a Gambat, but every cover bar one that I've received since the champ hit 183 has been red or purple. I'll get there in time for the nerf.

****
Up to 33 champs. Levels range from 270 (Dino and Rogue) to 312 (Riri), with most in the 270s.

Only Nightcrawler and Hulk are unchamped of the recent releases. They are at 9 and 6 covers respectively. I have 10 characters on 10+ covers, so the Iso crunch is going to chew me up and spit me out very soon. Of those, a few are trash tier (Elektra and Eddie Venom have 10 covers, Kingpin has 11 and Mr Fantastic has 12), so ignoring them for a bit is probably unavoidable, if not desirable.

Thor also has 11 covers, so will probably be my next project after Nightcrawler.

*****
Only missing Thor. 

Despite using CP pretty much exclusively on Classics, my Peter Parker is at 9 covers (10 with one more Vulture level), so he's not just dead weight in the 5* essentials. Another 6 have six or more covers, and all have at least 2.

I'm enjoying getting to use my 5*s, but want to get more of my 4*s built up before I start working on them, so I'm going to keep spending CP on classics as I earn it. The income from champ levels is keeping my head above water for now. I'm sitting on 328k, but that won't last long if I pull a bunch of useful covers.

Day 579/SR 117 - Just did a massive overhaul, so may as well.

1* - Currently farming all.  3 cover chars I just move the 5 cover around in a 4-5-4 build with train.  2 cover chars sell at 10 and rebuild.  For the 2 cover chars it's effectively 120 ISO per cover vs 100 for selling (1 cover is sold at cost, 9 others generate XP).  It's fun and easy to do.  If I decide to stop, I prepaid a whole lot of roster slots.

2* - been farming these for over a year now.  The churn never stops

3* - all champed.  Have sold several 266s as dupes mature.  Working on several of those now.

4* - 43 champs, 5 more fully covered.  According to my sheet, 664 champ levels applied.  Peak is Coulson and Carol at 314.

5* - 2 champs, 5 more at 9-11 covers.  Bolt and Natasha champed, working on Strange, Hawkeye, Phoenix, Gambit, and Daredevil optimistically.  

Currently pulling for the latter two, and cleaning up 4s until then.  I'll stop when either Gambit leaves LL or he's finished.

I finished champing Prof X and then I champed Mockingbird, for whom I pulled an additional 4 covers (bringing her to 6 additional covers) once I pulled my hoard for GladiaThor.

I also wound up with cover 14 for Lockjaw, so I championed him too while I was on a roll.  To pull all this off I had to sell my 266 Thanos, Strang3, and 3Cap, but that's fine by me - I rarely used them anymore, anyway.  Besides, Strang3 and Thanos were the important ones and I have both of them almost fully back to 13 covers each.  

My hoard pull was pretty good.  I finally got the 13th cover for my 5/5/2 Flaptain, so he is ready for champing whenever.  I got a number of Rogue and Nightcrawler covers, and I also got 12 5* covers out of the 35-ish pulls hoard I had, bringing my DD to 5/4/1, Thor to 1/0/2, and Gambit to 2/1/1.  So not a bad haul!

I got an X-23 from 3* champ rewards today, so I'll champ her next, then champ Strang3, then Gambit, then 3Thanos, and then I'll just play it by ear

My slow, steady climb to the mountain's penultimate plateau continues.

On the 4* tier, I have two covered classics, two classics in cover purgatory, and 2 (soon to be 3) undercovered latest.  I've beaten my lower tiers into a pulp by selling off max champs to support the 4* completion effort.  I've got 4 3* and a a couple of 2* in the farm to bring back up.  Barring completion of undercovered characters, Miles is up next to pair with Parker for my eventual 5* "transition"

On the 5* tier, I've got one champ, and one fully covered softcapped at 360.  I'm pulling nothing but latest - with average luck I'm on track to fully cover them before they cycle out (currently 8 covers on DD, 4 on Gambit, 0 on Thor).  I've got two classics at 11 covers set as my bonus heroes, and maybe as the 4* rewards get updated I'll be lucky enough to gather the missing covers there.  I plan to softcap any and all 5* I manage to cover at 360, then build a stockpile of Iso to champ two or three from a pool of probably 4-6 choices.

Changes over the past month
1. Changes to SHIELD Rank XP made me clear out both my taco hoards to take advantage of the XP gain, and all the ISO and champion rewards gave me enough ISO to champ 5 in a month for the first time, with Ghost Rider, Totally Awesome Hulk, Sandman, Rogue and Vulture all making their way to the land of champions. Pretty much had to decimate my entire 2 star farm in the process as well though.
2. Of the 9 max covered 4*s in the previous update, Ghost Rider, Totally Awesome Hulk and Sandman all making their way, Sandman a bit reluctantly since I've been selling way too many covers. In the incoming direction, The Thing, Spider Woman, and Howard the Duck (to my surprise) has made their way to the max covered 4* land Meanwhile, thanks to opening my hoards Rogue and Vulture has just simply bypassed this step much to my delight
3. Another two 3*s maxed champed to bring my total to 3, with dupes started for 2
4. Leveling priority right now goes to Spider-Gwen/Spider Woman, Quake, Winter Soldier, The Thing/Miles Morales, War Machine, Venom, Howard the Duck
5. ISO Usage and Debt

ISO to cap (3*-4*): 4.1M (Previous Update: 4.5M)
ISO to max (3*-4*): 5.4M (Previous Update: 6.4M)
ISO invested (all characters): 28.7M (Previous Update: 26.6M)
Kind of inaccurate this time since my excel formula includes the 3*s I have dupes for, though it isn't very significant right now. Need to find a better way to compute. Either way, I'm just about 100k ISO away from my long term target, definitely achievable by the end of this year!

Is there a quick way to find your previous post in this thread? I'm kinda driving myself nuts trying to find it.

That one?

Yes! Is there a trick to finding posts when it's been so long since you did them?
