Roster progress report, and plans for your roster

smkspy

Just champ IF for my 13th 3 star, now I have the choice between a 135 blade and a 144 black panther both with two covers waiting in roster bank. Torn which one to pick though.

When I first started playing I decided to just limit my roster to women in order to keep costs down.

Championed:




I have managed to get all the female three and four stars except for X-23 so I'm pretty happy about that as well.

I'm on day 137 and this is a big month for me as I'll be getting my first championed three stars ("shakes fist at the yellow cover he had to sell for his 4/3/5 and the second one that's got about a week left")-- this week and next week. Just from TBE, by the time the next comes around all my will have at least 8 covers, except for who will be bringing up the rear with 6.

I currently have 1.2m ISO, 568 CP, and 108 taco tokens saved. Once I get... four(?) championed then I'll just crack everything and see where that gets me (probably just sadness )

- Managed to roster a few new 4*s:


Number of rostered 4*s increased from 8 to 13.

Time for another update!

In the last two weeks, I was able to champion a second 3* from my list of 10: . I also couldn't resist championing even though he was not on my shortlist, but I had 6 Vision covers queued at one point, it will eventually provide a 4* Cyclops cover and the bug is just too sweet. This brings the number of championed 3*s to 13 and the shortlist of future champions down to 8:

5/4/3 (12)
5/2/4 (11)
5/3/3 (11)
5/2/4 (11)
2/5/3 (10)
4/2/4 (10)
2/4/4 (10)
3/2/3 (8, will get a cover today)

Concerning the 4*s, there is only one new addition to the roster since last time (14 characters now):


...but there are a bunch of new covers waiting for a roster slot:

(3 covers from Civil War)



This could be tricky since I'm not buying new roster slots fast enough. One slot is virtually free at the moment, I'm 50 HP away from buying another one, so I might have to sell two guys to roster the new 4*s. Luckily, with the new changes in the selling price of champions, I shouldn't feel too bad selling two of my level 144 2*s and rebuilding them later.

In any case, my stash of about 620 CP should stay untouched for a while.

Edit: thanks to Earth's Mightiest my Bagman is now complete!!!!

This season in tinykittyland...

More adventures in levelling 5*s.


NEW from CW event
from 4/3/5 to 4/4/5, level 360 to 375 -> just about gave me a heart attack when I saw the and it turned into OML yellow and not one of the 7/9 covers I can't use.
5/5/3 level 290 to 330
1/2/1 to 2/2/1
5/4/4 level 270 to 330
0/1/0
0/1/0 unchanged
1/1/0 unchanged
1/0/1
0/3/1

Bag-Man went from 137 to 143. I fear I may never see another Bag-Man again. What if I go crying to CS? Will they give me my last Bag-man cover? I've been working on him for more than half a year and I started with a max level Bag.

137 to 144. MAXED!!!!!


NEW
Champed
Status undecided


Half a dozen (or more) 3*s stomped over the level 200 milestone; squirrel girl remains the last holdout below 183 at 182.

At the moment I have 18 max-covered 4*s at 200/155 and 6 4*s with between 5-12 covers. It's a lost cause, clearly. I can champ 2 of the suckers per season. They release 3 or more per season. Already champed all the top tier (bobby/cyc/hb/jean/rhulk) and 4 specialists (dpx/nova/4thor/x23), so I don't actually need any more to stay competitive in pvp.

So this is going to happen. I'm going to hoard all the cp and most tokens. Most of the iso. When I hit 1.5 million iso, I will champ OML/Phoenix/Surfer together and see if the game explodes or something. Will that raise sandbox warning flags? Lol. Then I'll be able to open lts safely again...? I don't know.

Still tempted to champ Punpun first, so I can have a tidy set of 10 champed 4*s.

Mawtful

Rhulk champed! (That makes #5) Didn't have any extra covers in queue for him, but it did mean I could respec (5/4/4 to 3/5/5), and wow was that difference noticeable!

For now I want to keep putting ISO into any my 4*'s which are in danger of my having to sell covers. Generally, that's getting any 4* with 10 or more covers to level 200. More specifically, I'm just focusing on those with 13/12/11 covers - since I'm unlikely to have 4 4* covers land in my lap all at once. My current "Usual Suspects" lineup is

Fury (3/5/5, Lv 200)
Kingpin (3/5/5, Lv 200)
IW (3/5/5, Lv 165)

X23 (5/4/2, Lv 200)
Elektra (4/3/5, Lv 165)
Sam Wilson (2/5/5, Lv 140)
Quake (4/4/4, Lv 140)
Star-Lord (5/4/3, Lv 100)

I enjoy using Fury and Kingpin, however I'm not sure I'll use either of them too much when they're not boosted. Even if I did end up with a bunch of covers suddenly, I've been able to make enough ISO to go from 200 to 270+champ within the 14 days even with my mostly casual play style, so they should be ok. And I've sold enough IW covers already that a few more won't upset me.

I've grown to really enjoy Flaptain's Passive - and there's a decent level of synergy that you can get with Fury (Flaptain gathers blue to reduce counter on Fury's CD or buff Strike tile, Fury spends blue on trap tiles) but, I mean, that's not two top tier 4*'s working together. Elektra and Starlord are still just a little too niche, and I'd still be upset about "wasting" covers by selling them off, I just don't think I can justify maxing them right now. So that leaves Quake as the "Best of the rest", and I think she's got a strong enough power set that's deserving of a bit of ISO, which helps.

Uthgarprime

I am transitioning to 4*, with 24 3* champions I believe. My levelling is all over the place, but I will level the top 5 as I get covers. I am currently going to stock pile 100k ISO so that if I get the 14th cover of a 4*, I can champion them and not throw away the cover. I have Elektra at 13 covers and 229, IW is 12 covers and 200, everyone else is 180 below. I only put levels in non championed 3*'s if I get a cover for them, I level the 1 level and then sell the cover, I will eventually get the rest championed. I rotate through all my 4 stars as I get ISO so that I feel like I am progressing. I would like to champion them all eventually so covers aren't wasted.

Last status on 5/20/16:

OML is maxed at 330 for his covers and I have the following 4* Champs:

Potential targets to work on next include:
Rulk at 150 2/5/4
4Thor at 190 2/5/5
Thing at 150 5/3/5
X-23 at 140 5/1/5 (2nd red coming up in PVP)

Current Project
I'm just banking ISO and CP at this point. I'm almost back up to 100K ISO and I'm up to 10 LTs and 845 CP. I do have a Thing cover sitting in my queue but I'm not sure if I will get the ISO to champ him. I'm not sure if it is worth it at this point. I think Rulk would be the better investment. I may pull the trigger on blowing my CP bank before the chance for OML goes down after Civil War run 2.

Results:
I went ahead and depleted the stash hoping for more OML covers. I didn't get any more OML but I did finish covering my Phoenix at 4/5/4 and I have another purple sitting in my queue. I've been working on leveling her and she is now at 345. So I'm going to guess I'll sell the cover. I also was able to champ X-23 before I opened my stash.

Current Status:

3/1/1 maxed at 330
4/5/4 sitting at 345

Champs:


Potential targets to work on next include:
Max out my Phoenix
Rulk at 150 2/5/4 (1 more cover for 3 Thor will get him his 5th purple)
4Thor at 190 2/5/5


Current Project
I'm back to banking CPs because I don't want to chance opening more Phoenix covers that I would have to sell. I've been opening my Latest tokens as I get them. I'm not sure if I want to max out Phoenix at this point with OML only being 330 with 5 covers. I'm just going to bank the ISO for now.

Fully updated roster is in my signature below.

Champion 4*s:



33 out of 40 Champion 3*s. Only ones missing are:



I can't see myself championing them anytime soon. Just not enough ISO.

10 out of 14 Champion 2*s. Need Torch, Ms. Marvel, Bullseye and Bagman. Again, just not enough ISO to worry about them right now.

I have plenty of cover-maxed 4*s, but not enough ISO to get them even close to 270. But since my 5*s are at the point where they're better than any 4*, what's the point in leveling any of them? Sure, they're nice when they're boosted, but I'd need millions of ISO to get them all that good.

Basically the 4* transition is a joke. You only need to level up 2 or 3 top tier 4*s, then hope you get lucky enough to get your 5*s online. Once you get 7 covers in some 5*s, the rest of your 4* roster becomes irrelevant.

I haven't spent any ISO in the last few weeks on anybody that's not a 4* or 5*. There's no point. I did get X-23 up to champion level and I'm currently working on Cyclops. I want to get Cyclops, Red Hulk, Iceman and Deadpool up to 270, but none of the rest of the 4*s seem like a high priority after that. Maybe I'll bump up SS or Phoenix so I can run 2 5*s in PvP events. But then I'm worried about running into the big whales.

So it's been a month and I've championed Cyclops, Iceman and Rocket & Groot. That's pretty slow progress for a month's worth of effort. It's a little discouraging to only be able to bring up a single 4* every 2 weeks.

I did very recently get 2 more covers for OML to max him out at 5/4/4. I have a Kingpin cover waiting for me to champion him and then I'll work on bringing OML up to 450. That's a little more than 200k needed for both of those tasks so that's about the next 2 weeks worth of ISO spoken for.

OK, so wholesale changes on my roster this month. (current roster in sig below)

In the last month I maxed OML and the rest of my 3*s. I got tired of wasting covers for the last few 3*s that weren't champed. So now I have 9 champed 4*s ( ) and all 40 champed 3*s.

I've decided to become the champion of turning over my 2* characters. So whenever I got a 2* cover for one of my level 144 champs, I sold it and replaced it with a 1-cover version. I ended up selling all 10 of my level 144 characters for 650k ISO. I used the ISO to level up the other 4 2*s that weren't champed yet (Bullseye, Bagman, Torch, Ms. Marvel) and dumped the rest of the ISO into my low-level 4*s. So now all of my 4*s are either soft-capped or level 165, whichever one was higher. Yup, even Cho and Star Lord. Now I'm not worried about any of their DDQ fights, except maybe Mr. F (can he win even if he's level 270?).

So I see this as a huge loan of 650k ISO that I've got to pay back down the road as my 2*s get cover maxed again. I want to got them all earning champ rewards as soon as possible.

In the meantime, I opened up a stash of 440 CP. I got 2 5*s (BSS and SS) and some 4* covers that were mostly sold. I did get 3 Ghost Riders, so he's my next champion target (level 226 currently). Then it's back to building up the 2*s.

HaywireII

Up to 15 championed 3* characters now. Still no fully covered 4*'s but Antman hit 11 and I have a pretty even distribution across all of the 4* characters from 2 covers all the way up to 10 with my average being 5 covers. The ever growing pool of 4*'s means it's still going to be a while until I get some fully covered 4* characters.

Venom Bomb is finally giving my my 13th (and hopefully 4 more) Iron Fist covers so he is getting championed next. The Luke Cage black at 1700 points in season simulator will be my 13th cover so he'll be championed after that. Hulkbuster is sitting at 10 covers but he's boosted next week so I think I'm going to level him up and try some Fistbuster fun since I've seen it mentioned so many times.

Side goal is I'm going to sell and rechampion 2* Magneto to get more 3* Magneto covers to eventually get my 5th Professor X blue cover. I will also put iso into any 4* who has a chance of beating the DDQ crash.

when champing hit, I had a 4* pvp pair (jg/hb) at 250 and was happy with them there. I had 9 maxed 3*s, with others at 140 and 120, and my 5 2*s, plus jugs. since champing hit, I've maxed hb/jg and brought iceman up from the 130s, and with 3*s I've maxed loki (from 153), gsbw (from 140), hood (from 136), torch (from 140), and gamora (from 120). I'm currently in the middle of maxing 4cyke (from 94). so my current champs are:








currently I'm in the process of leveling cyke. he's at 235 for now. with im40 covers incoming I may push pause on him to take advantage of those covers and max im40, then go back to cyke. so, my current future plans are (always subject to change):

1 - IM40 (from 120 = 110K)
2 - finish 4cyke (from 235 = 145K)
3 - xpool (from 145 = 330K)
4 - maybe to 320ish? (from 255 = 140K)
5 - (from 145 = 330K)
6 - at some point i'll have to decide whether the 4* ddq day for will be worth the iso it will take to get them to 145 (35K each, less for falcap from 94, so another 200K if I want those ready)

if I ever pull an OML yellow, he'll get inserted in somewhere. not much use at 2/-/5. those 6 items will cost me 1.25 mil iso and that will take a long time to do. hopefully at some point before that's done you can add 200K for OML. that will be ~3 months working on 5-6 characters plus getting the most recent 6 to ddq level. in that time 6 more will be added. not looking pretty unless they drastically change something with iso.

oh, totally forgot about rulk. if I get that last red, add him to the list too from 180 (another 300K iso). so that's 3+ months to just get the beginnings of a 4* core and that doesn't include others I'd like to max like 4thor, xfw, and kp. I just don't see how the whales do it.

edit: always subject to change. since I can't run hb in heavy metal, i'll respec im40 with my covers and pour iso into cyke to use him in the pvp - probably won't quite get him to 270, but better than 235. then max im40 before my red cover expires.

after 6 weeks, I've added the following champs:





currently saving up for xpool. will need some iso into the newer 4s with their ddqs coming up - as necessary. i'll probably start with them at 70 and step up from there. after xpool, candidates include xf and

still waiting for that oml yellow

ok, after 2 months I should probably update here. i'll post all, so next time I don't have to do the megaquote in the spoiler:

(one leveled)
found that yellow and took him to 405
all other 5*s are rostered, SS up to 11 covers. all the rest are 1-3 covers.

10 champs
since last post I've added

18 champs
(im40 and vision have been added here)

champs...still just the 5 champs


so...I've found that elusive OML yellow and leveled him. I've champed all the 'meta' characters' and most of the second tier. so....I've decided to go back and finish all my 3*s, roster and champ all the 2*s I don't have and get that engine working. I figure I have enough to sustain me in pvp. my desired 4*s now to max include quake, nova, antman, kp, and punisher. I think I may pause on the 3s/2s if I end up with 13th covers on quake or nova. unlikely since...I'm hoarding most of the tokens and finishing the bottom end. first up will be colossus, then grocket. then possibly squirrel, but might re-evaluate. also have lots of spidey covers right now. this gives me something to do for the next 2-3 months. by then I may have other worthwhile projects. also once I finish the 3s and the 2s I can cycle the 2s at will for hp/cp/covers.

dr tinykittylove

I was going to say heck with the neverending 4*s and save iso to champ my 5*s, but Punpun gave me an extra cover and said "champ me pretty please" and Bag-man threw in his support by giving me another Punpun cover with his LT and I couldn't say no to their adorable little faces.

So. Punpun maxed today. Will have enough iso to champ him after ddq and when the new EotS sub starts. Then it's back to saving.... though if I get quake covered I'll stop to champ her too, she's awesome fun.

Still saving standard, heroic and legendary tokens.

Mawtful

My last few Legendary Tokens have been quite good for me.
The previous DDQ 4* token got me a Purple Phoenix (3/1/2).
EotS gave me CP for two Classics, which got me a Black OML (2/1/2) and a Black Elektra (4/4/5).
Today's DDQ token got me a Blue Iron Man 46 (2/1/2).

OML, Phoenix, and IM46 are my best covered 5*'s - and while that's a pretty decent select to have as my "best", I also recognise that none of them are really well enough covered for me to consider committing to just yet.
That's also Elektra at 13 covers finally. As with my other fully covered 4*'s, I'm tempted to take her up to L200 which is my checkpoint "just in case" I get another cover and want to use it for champing rather than selling. However I feel like Elektra is just too niche to really bother. Her main gimmick is stealing enemy strikes, but I've got enough other ways to deal with those or to create my own strong strikes already.
And, of course, I've still got enough other 4*'s that I want to give attention. Quake (4/4/4) got a lot of levels during EotS, up to ~213 now. It was great - caltrops were always dealing 1 damage. I'm considering taking her right up to 250 now, since I definitely want her maxed once I get her last cover. I've also got KP and Fury both at 210 now (they got 10 levels each for the buff week).

I may just hold onto ISO for now and wait to see what covers come in next.

CT1888

I now have 3 champions here with 5 max covered
I'll start working on Deadpool after I champion 1 or 2 more 3 stars.


I'm one of those people that feels jus selling a 3 star cover is a waste, so I'm working my way through them. Just left with to go.

In other levels, still not much to talk about in 5 land, 5 in Phoenix, 3 in Surfer, 1 in OML, Bssm, GG.
2 star, Storm and Magneto are getting rebuilt after selling for iso and to farm covers, and I added Thor too.

Since the last update, I was able to buy a whopping three new roster slots. In the last 6 weeks, I managed to increase the number of slots from 57 to 64! I'm happy with that pace, being strictly f2p.

In the department, I have a very welcome new addition to the champions club: . The next characters in line are:
5/4/3 (12)
5/3/4 (12)
3/5/4 (12)
5/2/4 (11)
2/5/3 (10)
4/2/4 (10)
4/2/3 (9)

For the , even though I'm opening new slots, it's been a struggle to accomodate all the new additions. The number of has been reduced to only 4 characters, which also happened to help with the HP starvation. Since the last update, I rostered:






This makes it 19 . Two covers are about to expire too:



I might have to replace some of my bottom-tier instead of just adding those two new guys. I'm thinking and may have to go.

In the tier, I'm actively recycling my level 144 guys because the extra HP is definitely worth the potential loss of a few thousand .

2) Increase in number of 4* characters, covers and levels: 19 chars, 102 covers and 2037 levels to 27 characters, 162 covers and 2791 levels. Gotta thank championing for giving me so many LTs.
3) HUGE improvement for IMHB: from 2 covers at lvl74 to 13 covers at lvl258. Even I'm shocked at this.
4) Finally all 4*s rostered: 4 months on from this post, I finally rostered my first cover a couple of days ago. My holy grail indeed
5) More 3*s maxed out: 15 maxed out to 26 maxed and championed. 14 more to go

Can't say I'm disappointed with this progress, not when my IMHB literally went from zero to hero in 4 months. Let's see how this pans out in the next few months (if I'm even here by then)

2. Surprisingly, my rate of 4* acquisition has gone up. Average of 1.31 days per cover gained from days 869-915 compared to 2.08 days per cover gained from days 744-869. Of course, championing started during the timeline of the first period which I can't remember when, so this point is probably moot. Need to compare again during my next update.
3. Number of 4* covers from first 744 days: 102. Number of 4* covers in the following 171 days :193. CPs and championing have really sped up the transition, though I still suck.
4. First 4* championed. Am nowhere close to my second.
5. After more than 4 months without a single cover, I added another 4 covers to him in the span of 50 days. Makes me wonder where the hell he went after his release.
6. I'm slowly but surely reaching the end of the 3* tier. From 26 championed to 32 championed, with to be added to the list by tomorrow. Just 7 left to go after that.
7. An old issue mentioned to death, but cover acquisition rates is really damned imbalanced. In the past 50 days I've added 11 covers to a championed while poor has just one solitary cover in that period. Where are the covers that actually matter?

Short Term Plans
I have no real urgency for 4* levels given how most of the characters that actually matter are unusable in their current state, therefore the plan is to max out every single one of my 3*s before moving on to 4*s, so that no DDQ reward goes to waste. I'm still considering whether it's worthwhile to max that 2* and solely for the champion rewards, but as it stands, it's highly unlikely that I'll be touching them unless I run out of usable 4*s to level. In fact, is going to be a greater priority than those 2, if only for the bragging rights for having the only champed bagman in my entire alliance lol.

Long Term Plans
Since maxing all those 3*s is going to take a bit of time, 4*s belong in my long term plan. Leveling priority goes to in this order unless i can get more covers for the better 4*s. and gets no love despite being maxed covered since I can't justify maxing 4*s I rarely use considering the cost and time it takes to max them out. Once those 4 are maxed (which won't be anytime soon) ISO will be saved until I can get a good 4* with at least 3 covers in the powers that matter. 5*s is probably going to take a backseat unless I accumulate a boatload of ISO while waiting for 4* covers to drop.

Day 960, 99 slots
5*s: all at lvl255 (2/1/4), (2/1/0), (1/0/1)

4*s: lvl276 (5/5/3), lvl229 (5/5/3), lvl190 (5/5/3), lvl160 (5/3/5), lvl150 (5/4/4), lvl140 (5/4/4), lvl135 (5/3/1), lvl127 (2/3/2), lvl120 (5/1/4), lvl110 (4/5/3), lvl110 (1/3/2), lvl90 (2/4/2), lvl90 (1/1/2), lvl70 (0/0/1)

The following 4*s at lvl78
4/1/5, 4/4/1, 2/2/5, 2/4/3, 4/4/0, 3/2/3, 4/2/1, 0/2/4, 1/2/3, 3/2/1, 1/1/3, 2/1/2, 1/1/2, 2/1/1, 1/0/2, 2/1/0, 1/1/1

3*s: All 3*s perfect covered
lvl182, lvl181, lvl180, lvl179, lvl178, lvl177, lvl176, lvl175, lvl174, lvl173, lvl172, lvl171, lvl169, lvl168,

lvl120

2*s: All rostered including
lvl144, lvl140, lvl137, lvl133, lvl39, lvl39, lvl15

1*s: All rostered, maxed, the rest all at level 1

Notable changes over the past 55 days
1) Just 3 more 3*s left to champion. Am currently torn between championing them, or saving the ISO to level up my 4*s so that I have a chance to clear their DDQ. I have 200k ISO on standby for now, waiting for my decision when I eventually get the covers for my unchamped 3*s.
2) A few of my 4*s have unknowingly crept into at least slightly usable territory if I decide to level them up. Notable ones include (3/3/1 to 4/5/3) and (1/4/1 to 4/4/1). Then again, the 4*s that actually matter in PVP ( ) are still nowhere to be seen.
3) 248 covers for 4*s in total compared to 200 on day 915. That's 1.07 covers per day, a drop from my previous update. Mostly because I don't want to stress myself up going for 1k points and watching myself keep getting hit over and over again (like how I did to get my 13th DP cover), but at least I'm still at 1 cover per day statistically.

Got bored with the grind, especially with how my 2*s were being uncooperative with my attempts to rebuild and rechamp. Sold off most of the maxed champed 2*s rebuilt what I could from my cover queue...

Used the iso to max OML and Phoenix instead.

Can't use them in the heroic pve. Let's see what happens to my pvp tomorrow!

New plan - rebuild the 2*s, max poor Surfer. Ho hum.

wymtime

I am at a little bit of a cross roads. My next 48 I am looking to max is quake she was an MVP in EOTS and I have a pending cover for her. Next I am either going to max Nova, Pun, or GR. I could also take SS (4,3,2) up to 375 to go with my 399 OML. My BSSM, and Phoenix are not covered enough. I am really not sure which 4* I will do after quake it will come down to what covers I get pending I guess.

DFiPL

Plan? Right now I'm like a dog chasing a car; I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it.

In all seriousness, for the longest time I was leveling everybody equally. Had about half my roster up to 130 and the other half at 125 (amongst 3*) but that was mostly because I ran out of ISO while leveling folks to 130.

Then championing hit.

So I switched over from levelling equally to champ'ing a bunch of cats. Plus all my 2*, of course.

Here's what the roster looks like:


(140)
(130)
(125)
(115)
(111)
(94)
(90)
(86)
(78)
(74)
(70)

Nobody in this tier is close to max, let alone being champ'ed, but the half dozen or so at the top are the most usable of the bunch currently. X-23, when buffed, is reasonably usable in PVE, also.

(level 166+ champions)


(level 130)


(level 125)



All of the 125's will eventually reach champion territory, but they're 125 because I prioritized the characters I liked best when leveling to 130 originally. That priority level has held through the champion process, and the 130's will get cleaned out before I start on the 125's.

The only I lack are Bullseye, Daken, and Moonstone. At this time, no plans to add them. Everybody else is either a champion, or, in the case of Magneto, Storm, Human Torch and Captain America, beginning the rebuild phase to take them to their second bite at the champion apple.

(Update since last update)
-RL/sleep kept me from going for t25 when Hood blue was rewards, so missed a 2nd chance to get my 5th blue for the triple. Now he is 3/4/5. Also missed chance at the Pun cover at 1k. (Pulled Hood blue from Standard, now triple is complete. GSBW and IF triple both need a purple to finish them at 5/3/5 and 3/5/5. HT dupe is at 4/3/3, going for 5/x/x, unsure of build. After these 3 are done, probably done with 3*. All my dupes/triples will be done, and no plans to start new ones. Will continue to start/develop 4* dupes/triples.)
-No rush on X-23 to 200 any more. (still true)
-Will still tank PVEs in hopes of baby brackets for new releases. (Got baby bracket for War Machine, got 5 covers on release.)
-Still play DDQ every day (Check)
-Have plans for ISO now, so won't hoard.
-Add 15 levels for any OML covers that come in. (No covers came in)
-Nova to 200. (Decided to stop at 199. 3 more ISO and he is at 200. 200 will be for 13 cover 4*. Came in to another cover, so he is 5/4/3, with goal of 5/5/3. Another black came in, but started a dupe with it.)
-Last 10 levels to BSS to take him to 315, to tank for JG/SW. (Done)
-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. (Done, 120 tier gone, 4* at 200, 160, 140 or 70. Got Quake covers from CW 2, Team IM, might take them all to 160 and eliminate 140 4* tier.)
-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 (Done, Thor4 taken to 200, IM40 dupe at 166 and champ'd. IM40 triple still at 40 5/3/5. Wish my Iceman dupe was stronger than 0/0/4, would love to have a leveled dupe of Iceman to pair with IM40.)
-If I get a final purple JG, will raise the 5/3/5 dupe to 200. (Got it, raised her to 200.)
-Next PX blue will get my triple 5 blues, so will probably take 5/3/5 dupe to 160. (Got it, now considering turning 1 of them into a 3/5/5, will probably be the 160 5/4/4 and take him to 200, have a yellow in the queue that will probably change him to 4/4/5 until last purple comes in. 5/3/5 dupe is currently at 140. 5/5/2 triple is at 70.)
-GG to 285, to play around with his yellow. (Low on priority list, have not done)
-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. (Not done either, had covers for a few of the 3*, but decided to toss them in grinder for ISO, instead of paying the ~70k to max and champ them.)

(Update since last update)
-GSBW and IF triple both need a purple to finish them at 5/3/5 and 3/5/5. HT dupe is at 4/3/4, going for 5/x/x, unsure of build. After these 3 are done, probably done with 3*. All my dupes/triples will be done, and no plans to start new ones. Will continue to start/develop 4* dupes/triples. (Still true.)
-No rush on X-23 to 200 any more. (Might change this, since OML/Nova/X-23 is great. Thought different when it was OML/XFDP/X-23)
-Will still tank PVEs in hopes of baby brackets for new releases. (Got baby bracket for Moon Knight, got 5 covers on release.)
-Still play DDQ every day (Check)
-Have plans for ISO now, so won't hoard.
-Add 15 levels for any OML covers that come in. (No covers came in)
-...otherwise I'd consider eliminating my 4* 140 tier and taking them all to 160. (Done, 140 tier gone, 4* at 200, 160, or 70. ISO influx from selling 2* champs helped boost 140s to 160s)
-PX blue, got it, now considering turning 1 of them into a 3/5/5, will probably be the 160 5/4/4 and take him to 200, have a yellow in the queue that will probably change him to 4/4/5 until last purple comes in. 5/3/5 dupe is currently at 140. 5/5/2 triple is at 70. (Changed 160 to 200 3/5/5, regretted it. Wish I had kept it at 5/4/4 or 5/3/5. Dupe is 160 5/3/5, triple is 70 5/5/2, quadruple is 70 1/0/0)
-GG to 285, to play around with his yellow. (Low on priority list, have not done, still true)
-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. (Used ISO from selling all 2* champs to start this too. Got Doom, Doc Ock and Sentry done. Only HT and Rags left.)
-(Took SS to 330 from 255, with help from ISO from 2* Champs sold. Regret doing that. Don't have enough ISO to champ 2* again. Their covers came in a lot faster this LR and I blew the ISO on other things, without saving it for the re-champ. 4 2* already champ'd again. 7 other 2* rostered, will champ as ISO comes in.)


My roster

Mawtful

Threw all my plans out the window when I had 3 Mystique covers in my queue suddenly. Given that she'll eventually provide some much needed Iceman covers, I ended up champing her.
I've got a few 3* champs that are just about to start delivering their first 4* cover rewards. Unfortunately it's a mixed bag:
Hulk - Cho, so this would be another 1k ISO
IM - HB. Cool, another champ level.
Grocket - Starlord Purple. Not great, SL is currently 5/4/3 & lvl 100. Even if I get yellow/red cover in time, would I champ him? I don't think so.
Hood - Ghost Rider. Mine is 0/2/0, so it'll get applied.
Kamala - Another cover for champed Thor.

I'll probably siphon off a bit of ISO for Phoenix still, but I guess it's back to the grind to bank it all up again.
