Help on maximising Championed characters

kewlguirarist

What do you all do when you maximise a 2 star champion at 144? Is it worth selling them and start building a new one or not particularly? Is it best to get all my 3 stars to 166 before pumping more iso into 4 stars or should I forget about 3 stars? I have about 14 Lvl 166 3 stars. I have a Championed Hulkbuster and Jean Grey.

I just keep them and sell any extra covers I receive in the future. I don't think the ISO cost required to fully level and champ a new character is worth the rewards you receive back, although I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

Guessing if I have any at 166 that aren't great like Hulk I may as well just keep pumping covers in to them?

There are posts on this stuff in one of the other sub-forums, but if I remember correctly, the amount of iso you get from a 2* champ is the same as the amount it costs to champion a character plus the amount you would have got from selling the covers for 250 each with the benefits obviously being the respecs and the other types of rewards you get from them.

This is true, but it does not cover the costs to level the two-star to level 94. That's around 73000 ISO.

There's no really hard and fast rule on which characters you should be maxing out, it depends on what your play style is. A general guideline I used to follow when I first entered 3* land was to refer to the character rankings, and even then I didn't follow them exactly strictly. For example Gamora was never close to top 20 material for most people but I saw value in her black when used in conjunction with her cheap red, which was why I maxed her relatively early. I also found myself changing play styles as more characters got maxed out, I started out with the Patch/Loki combo, then switched them out for Cage/Fist/Switch when they got maxed, and now I'm running Winfinite, so who you wanna max out depends on how you plan to play.

And if you're going to run PVE I'd strongly recommend keeping all your 2*s for the essential nodes, otherwise it's going to hurt your score and cost you a new character if you fail to make top 100 due to that.

Cost to build a 2* champ:
1,000 HP for a slot (if you're considering making dupe champ 2*s you're surely already at the max slot cost...)
3,250 iso to cover (opportunity cost paid by not selling 13 covers)
69,524 iso to level max
5,000 iso to champ
12,500 iso to max champ (opportunity cost paid by not selling 50 covers)

Total: 1,000 HP and 95,274 iso

Champ rewards total: 17,500 iso, 250 HP, 5 CP, 5 Heroic tokens, 3x 3* covers

If I had roster slots out the yang and was not concerned about leveling 4*s (say, they were all maxed, haha), and I wanted to maxchamp 3*s ASAP, I'd have a 2* champ farm going.

But since that is not the case, it's not worth it.

Considering the limit on slots (182), Id quickly run out of space anyway

Good math there except 2 things
1. You probably should not count the slot as if you are farming it would be reused multiple times.
2. Champing covers the cost of selling all 50 covers + champion costs inthe iso rewards but not the initial iso as you said but you would sell the character when done so it would cost a bit less.

All in all champion farming would only be worth it if
A. You had an insane iso reserve (which who does)
B. You needed hp over everything else as it would net positive hp gain once the character was sold and the slot was free.

All in all champion the characters you will use/are already really close to max lvl and save your iso for the characters you will use/ help you the most
