So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like 'Ow', 'Ownge', 'Round', 'Ground'! That's it! Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? Hello, Ground!" RIP Douglas Adams. So now on day 58 I have a decently fleshed out 3* star roster but I am having trouble deciding where to spend my ISO. I don't want to buy ISO because collecting it from playing is what keeps the game fun for me(also it is horribly inefficient). here is my current roster. Lvl 155 4Thor 5/3/5 Lvl 105 hood 5/5/3 lvl 116 RnG 4/5/4 lvl 100 Ldaken 5/4/4 Lvl 100 blade 5/3/4 I have a bunch of other 3*'s not close enough to fully covered to really be worth the ISO and pretty much all of the 2*'s fully covered but only CS storm at 94 My question is should I just dump ISO into 4Thor and hood until they are maxed or should I spread it to the 133 cap recommended by NothernPolarity? also should I bother maxing the 2*'s or did I essentially jump over that step? of particular note there is I have a lvl 70 2* mags that I am not sure if I should bump to 94. I am also thinking of leveling OBW(currently at 60) think that's worth it at this point? My other less important question is should I concentrate on adding any particular character to my lineup(besides Xforce who clearly I want but sadly have no covers for)? I have a mystique at 3/1/2 covers, Lcap at 1/2/4, GSBW at 5/0/3, and the hulk at 1/4/1 covers. Thanks for the guide NorthernPolarity. It is both helpful and awesome. Thanks for any advice guys!

Sentry moved down to mid-tier: is now one of those chars where he's really good if he's your first 3*, but otherwise is pretty terrible. Loki moved from bottom tier to low-mid tier: should be high-mid tier, but reliant on another char dealing the damage.

Are the mid-tier 3* listed in order of preference?
ruyen wrote: Great guide, newbie (1-2* roster) here with more questions: - Is saving ISO on BW/Storm and just spending in on tanks IM/Jugg (vs keeping them all within 5 levels of each other) a good strat? - I messed up on 1BW and gave her 5 purple covers before I got a clue and came here. I have 1 purple and 2 blue covers storing for a couple more days, but I'm not sure it's worth rerolling her since ISO is already scarce. - Should you always go for capping 1*s if you can start on a 2*? I have a 3-cover lvl23 Thor, which is a decent level cap, and he's cheaper to level than my IM/Juggs, which still need a couple covers each to open the cap. - how do people "get" particular covers? On all these threads I read people talk about getting cover X next or completing cover-set Y, but to me it seems that almost all covers are just random. Seldom do I see any guaranteed 2* cover rewards except at the end of 3 day events. Otherwise I see Simulator fights with 2* rewards, but I always just get 70 ISO. Am I missing something here? - with 300 HP, I'm 200 shy of my next 3 roster spots and have Daken (blue) Ares (green) and cStorm x3 (1 of each) that I need to redeem in the next 30 hrs. I'd rather not spend cash until the next HP sale, so I'm debating deleting characters instead but can't decide. My roster: 40 Cap - 1xYellow 40 Patch - 1xGreen 31 IM - 5/5/3 30 Jugg - 5/4 26 Storm - 5/5/3 23 BW - 5/5 (dumb) 23 Thor - 3/0/1 23 Wolv2 - 0/1/2 17 Mag2 - 2/0/1 16 cHawkeye - 5/5 Thanks in advance! PS: I also have 3 Prodigal Son and 2 Heroic tokens that I'm waiting to redeem until I have free slots.

The big problem is that it's Spiderman, so basically he will only be used as a support character in PVE next to the usual gang of maxed 2*s. Should I spend the ISO to get him to level 114, or will that screw up the potential levels of my pve opponents? At what point do you get placed in more difficult brackets?
Mechahamster wrote: Thanks for the answer. My concern isn't so much with wasting the ISO, but more the effect adding those levels has on the scaling of the enemies.
