Psylocke snuck in over Human Torch, so he is in the last 10 that may or may not ever get championed, along with Doom, Doc Ock, Ragnarok, Falcon, Sentry, Spidey, Squirrel Girl, Hulk and Punisher. -Accidentally applied my Hood blue to champ, instead of my triple, so he is at 2/4/4, instead of 2/5/4. -Didn't have time to go for 2k in last season's sim, so Gwen is at 2/5/2, instead of 2/5/3, which is ok, since I can use the next yellow instead of starting a dupe. -Finished Iceman at 5/5/3, Ghost Rider at 3/5/5, so only need 2 Rhulk purples, Cyc blue and XFW yellow for respecs. Then, it's only the new class that I need covers for, Chulk, Miles, Nova, Venom, Gwen, Quake, Pun, Howard. Chulk is at 140, all others at 120, except for Pun, who only has 2 covers. Plans -Take up Black Suit Spidey to 300, since I use him in goon only nodes with SW/JG. -Take X-23 to 200, since my main PVE team will be her, OML, XFDP. -Hoard ISO, which doesn't come in as frequently since I am a casual player now. I go for 1k in PVP, when I have the time, or make the time for a cover I want, which isn't many. Will go for 2k in the Sim for the Pun black. -Tank PVEs so I can get in baby brackets for new releases. Played The Hunt very sub optimally, but easily got 1st place for 4 Howard covers. Tried to carry over my baby bracket status to Webbed Wonder, and it didn't work. Also couldn't play the subs until after the first refresh due to work, so Rhulk purple at T10 was way out of reach. -DDQ every dayMy roster

Will start saving up for next project.

But, i also have 3 covers for Iron Fist and there will be a black cover tomorrow from DDQ. The slot will cost 750hp (59 slot). What should i do?

Wait you don't have iron fist yet and think you're done with 3*? What does your roster look like? Make a slot for iron fist for sure, ditto iceman. I'd suggest not pulling legendary tokens for awhile if you've been doing that.

IF, Luke Cage and Kamala are the only 3* that i'm still actually considering. The reason i don't have IF is because he's never been an essencial and that was my reason for recruting characters till recently. Especially for new releases. I think i got Kamala temporarily once and if Iron Fist was required maybe i got the 4* instead. To be clear, you'd go with Iron Fist over Iceman (cover expires in 3 days)? That's what i'm inclined to do. Edit: Day 200.

vinnygecko wrote: It's been about 2 months since I've checked in, and progress has been a little slower, but there's still progress :) Updated roster is in my sig. Since last time (2/19), I've added 6 more 3* champs (34 total): My 2* champs are now maxed (or almost maxed for Storm, 1 cover away :)) I am still missing one 5* ( ) and two 4* ( & Howard) For 5*, OML is now 1/2/1 and will soon be 2/2/1 in a couple of days (after daily rewards). I have him now at level 262, i'm planning to level him up to at least 300 (maybe 315) fairly soon so I have somewhat of a better shot in PVP. My plan of leveling up 4* as their DDQ challenge approaches has mostly worked. On the 2nd wave of the 4*s, I now have beaten all except for Cyclops (came close, but not enough hp) and Mr. Fantastic/Flaptain (who I did not even try, admittedly). I'm currently leveling my Ghostrider (now 1/2/4) and am somewhat optimistic I'll win his with some luck and probably boosts. I'm pretty much done championing 3*s for now - I might decided to champion Squirrel Girl if i get a bunch of covers coming my way (she's currently my only maxed 3* not champed, at level 151). Am also rebuilding the 3*s I previously sold ( ), though i only intend to invest in IM40 (would not have sold him if I knew he was getting a buff :( ) I only have 3 max-covered 4*s, none of whom I really want to spend the ISO to champion yet ( ). Once I've gotten OML at a good level, I plan to bring some of my decent/but undercovered 4*s to at least 200, so once I get their last few covers it won't be as daunting to max level and champ them. Last updates below: vinnygecko wrote: So about a month later, have mostly followed this plan. Updated roster in signature. New Champs so far have all been 3*s (9 of them) I now have 28 3* Champs overall. Hulk, Bullseye or Colossus will probably be next.

I've been slacking a bit lately on pvp so have not made it to 1000 yet in a while. Depending on the bracket I fall in (and timing) its been actually easier for me to get placement rewards vs progress rewards, so I've made pretty good progress with adding Champ levels to 3*s. On 5*s, I now have 3 covers for both SS and OML, and 2 for Phoenix and BSS. If I get a few more covers for OML I might start using him in PVP, but we'll see :) vinnygecko wrote: My Roster from 9/25 (pre 5 star)My roster from 12/31/15 (last update I had before Champions)My roster as of this morning My roster has definitely gone through some improvements over the last few months, and the champion factor over the last couple of weeks has been a big part of that, as I have received a lot of LTs just from championing my 3*s.

If I get lucky with LTs and get a decent amount of covers for them, I'll invest the ISO to level them up.

Lucked into some more covers, already got him to 190, 5/3/3. Playing him with OML makes PVP matches quicker, since I haven't really bought into transforming OML (3/1/3). -Last 10 levels to BSS to take him to 315, to tank for JG/SW. -Maybe take Miles/Quake to 140, to join Venom, Chulk, Howard and Gwen. Eliminate my 4* 120 tier. Quake can't go past 147, otherwise I'd consider eliminating my 4* 140 tier and taking them all to 160. -Was gonna raise Thor4/IM40 dupes, stopped them at 160/120. They're my fast climb PVP team, so might eventually get them to 200/166 (Champ'd). -If I get a final purple JG, will raise the 5/3/5 dupe to 200. -Next PX blue will get my triple 5 blues, so will probably take 5/3/5 dupe to 160. -GG to 285, to play around with his yellow. -Maybe start Rd 4 of championing 3*, but probably wouldn't do all 10. Rd 4 might be 4 3*; Human Torch, Sentry, Doc Ock, Ragnarok, Doom. That order b/c of usefulness to me, and ability to respec as needed. Rd 5, Falcon, Spidey, Squirrel Girl, Hulk and Punisher might never get done, since I don't see a need to respec any of them.
