OBW is still one of the best two stars in the game: her offensive strength was never her heal, but recon / espionage, which hasn't been nerfed. I'd agree that her real strength was AP stealing but you can't deny that her ability to sustain a team through multiple matches (whether through prologue healing or a quick "victory-lap" hit from AGD) wasn't a huge part of her appeal. It's certainly why I (ab)used her - that and the fact Punisher & Psyduck are my two best covered 3*s and Espionage works so very well with them.

Im just saying that this nerf doesnt really change obws place in the 2* tier list since shes still the o ly good 2* support character in those colors. The only thing i guess this changes is that people with 3* heroes who were using obw might just use another 3* instead of her now that she cant sustain a push.

NorthernPolarity wrote: After doing a bit of research, i think im convinced that the optimal strategy for the 2->3* transition is to wait until you can max out a core team of two 3* characters entirely, and just do not pump ANY iso into ANY 3* before then. Current theory is that the floor where you start to see 3* rosters lowers as the strongest guy in your roster gets stronger. Example: say youre at a random mmr. The game then looks at your strongest guy/team. If that guy is a level 85 2*, then the game makes it so that you only see 3* players at say 700 points +. If that guy is a level 100 3*, then youll start to see 3*s at 400+ points. I dont mnow the exact numbers or if leveling 3*s to 85 or something would result in this as well, so the safest thing to do would be to just stick with a 2* roster until you have enough iso/covers to completely transition into a maxed out 3* team, and just completely avoid pumping heavy amounts of iso into your 3* guys before then. Ill update guide sometime this weekend with that information. That makes what to do when your featured hero is buffed tricky: if lumping 3* characters to level 70 or so doesnt affect this floor then itd be optimal to just do that but its hard to say since one wrong move means that you run into a wall of 141s during your transition.

Because of this I would emphasize lightning rounds even more since getting in extra matches against these easy opponents is going to eventually mean a lot more covers. Also because you can get so many more covers fairly quickly the iso is even more important.
RichHurtz wrote: I am feeling so discouraged in this game lately. Aside from the new 2* HT, the only covers I need are ones for Hawkeye (Not putting Bagman on my roster). I never know the 'right' way to play PvE, so I always miss out on the 3* covers. And in PvP... for a little while I was actually having some luck and getting 2 3* covers, and I think even once I got to a level with 3 of them. But now I can't get anywhere near it. After seed teams, it's pretty much nothing but teams at least 50 levels higher than my highest leveled character. So it feels like it's absolutely impossible to make any actual progress in the game. And since I'm in an Alliance with only 8 members, I have no reason to even bother looking at the Alliance Rewards. I'm hoping if I read through this guide a little more in depth, I'll figure out... something I can do to start making progress again...
