Hi guys,

I have a dilemma and with my roster and was hoping you could help me solve it.

I have about 150k iso. My champed 4*s are IMHB, Rulk, Iceman, JG, and Thor. I was considering adding Cyclops and Deadpool to that list but I am not sure if that is necessary considering I have the above mentioned 4*s champed. Should I champ more 3*s, should I continue to save up and champ Cyclops and Deadpool, or is there another option I should consider?

Here is the link to my roster:

    I don't Think there is a strictly superior option here.
    On the one hand, Cyclops and Deadpool are both awesome and should be maxed eventually. You do have a Point that your current 4* roster is probably good enough though.
    On the other hand, having maxed fourstars already I am unsure how much use you'll have for the threestars. You'd probably mostly max them to get champion rewards - it's a worthwhile cause to be sure, but your ISO may be better used on the fourstars.
    Overall I'd say it depends on your playstyle. If you are like me and enjoy playing different teams, it's probably better to build up your threestars a while longer. If you find yourself mostly playing fourstars these Days, go with the fourstars.

    Let's say you max out more 3*s, open the legendary tokens, and pull covers on 4*s you have maxed but not champed. (you have a good amount of those) Will you feel bad that you'll likely have to sell those covers?

    I now have 9 4* champs and will be 10 around the end of this week. unless you have a viable OML, I'm finding great value in having a boosted 4 nearly every week. even if you have an OML, having a boosted 4* to go with him would help tremendously. I would really regret not having one of them maxed when they're boosted as I tried to pvp climb with 275s or 280s against OML/360 teams. I have 3 more on my wish list (x23, kp, nova) and then when I get covers, quake may join that list. after that, I may consider some 3*s again.

    I'm a big fan of 4cyke. he is much more of a puzzle character that can be used for board control and set up right, has a huge nuke. I like him better than imhb, but the ai will never play cyke well (just like rulk). and xpool is my preferred defensive red user to go with the ice-40 pair. only purple overlap and all the other critical abilities don't overlap between him and ice, and with the 2-turn stun, its unlikely to wait for im40 to unshield.

    Let's instead say he maxes more 3*s and then saves the tokens until he has more maxed 4*... That's a possibility too.

    How long should he save those tokens? He's got enough 4* covers right now that throwing ISO at 3*s and saving the tokens provides zero near-term benefit. He'll be better off building up new tools that are actually useful. The 3*s can be farmed for their LTs some other time.

    man that answer is different for everyone. for some, that is until every non-new character is maxed. for me, it is until pulling a throw-away cover doesn't hurt. that includes about the top dozen or so characters.

    ....or until OML chances drop from 3.33% to 2.5%. i'll only have 10 of my desired 12 finished, but I'm pulling my hoard before the end of CW2 - probably around the start of it. 1400 cp and counting.

    My point was to highlight that the main benefit of champing 3*s to someone with multiple fully covered 4*s is the legendary token. If you're not going to open the tokens, then your ISO expenditure is bound up waiting for the day when the tokens are worth using. Meanwhile, maxing more 4*s will help right now, as they'll be very useful on their boost weeks.

    I'd say max the 4*s. Those two are especially good when boosted and will definitely be a noticeable improvement to your roster.

    Considering my options and I think focusing on 4*s might be better right now. If anything getting Cyclops and Deadpool would provide a definite benefit and then maybe getting all the 4*s to ar least 200. I missed out last week having a max Cyke and that red nuke of his. Thanks for the advice guys.
