which 2* champ to sell

Crnch73

I am currently trying to progress my 3* characters and make the jump to 4* territory. I keep running into issues where I don't have enough ISO to max a character, and the window for my expiring 3* cover is closing. I have a few maxed champions that I could sell, but I don't know which are considered "just too valuable" to sell.

in my opinion, I use 2* thor, mags, and storm the most (on deadpools). I know OBW is considered one of the best, but i almost never use her. The only thing making me hold onto OBW, 2* wolverine, and 2* captain marvel is when they become required for PVE events.

All this is to say I want to max out characters that probably aren't worth maxing (3* storm and gamora are both fully covered with extras of each ready to add), but the promise of a better roster and legendary tokens is enticing. Who should I sell?

I am paranoid because if they come up as required in PVE, having a maxed or high 2* character that gets boosted is a huge asset in earning easy points. My roster isn't strong enough to carry a low level (like lv20) 2* character and still win against level 160 enemies on their required node.

Are they maxed champed? Selling before that is a huge ISO hit now. OBW is better than m-mags with storm and Thor IMO. M-mags works better with Hawkeye.

...unless you're using mnmags to tank blue for Storm

Anyway, sell Wolvie and Marvel, then re-roster them and start adding covers again for PvE. You'll get 130k iso + HP; selling six of my 12 max champ'd twos, combined with iso from Gauntlet and ISO-8 Brotherhood allowed me to champ six three stars. I highly recommend it.

OBW tanks blue for me, I prefer it that way. Different strokes.

I've used a few different variations on 2* teams and I'm now fairly certain that Ares + Marvel + OBW is the best 2* team for DDQ.

I guess it's arguable that Stormneto is the better 2* team to take on The Big Enchilada (+ Ares/Thor); back when it was predictable I enjoyed the challenge, but now that it's "random" I just take a bunch of 4*'s or 5*'s to roll through it and get my cover - it's not nearly as much fun.

I use 2* mags a ton, both to tank blue for storm, and to use his purple to clear out an enemy tile/make a 5 tile match to start a cascade. For now, I attack the DDQ with 3* thor, 2* mags, and 5* phoenix (i only have one cover of hers, my roster is still in transition mode). Phoenix acts as a tank and makes powerful matches, mags can make critical tiles and start cascades, plus he can help clear out the board if an enemy in a previous wave left behind special tiles, and thor just cleans out the last wave with his green/yellow. I haven't lost yet, so I think I will hold onto my mags. I also use the team of mags, storm, and thor to tackle the 2* DDQ challenges.


I never use OBW, 2* captain marvel, or 2* wolverine, all 3 are maxed. My only fear is, like I said, when they become a required character for PVE, having a hugely boosted version of the required 2* helps me clear the stage every time. My roster isn't in a great place where I have enough guys maxed out so I can attack a required character node with one character at level 20. Because of my few 5* characters, my "Easy" scaling starts around 160, so starting with a brand new 2* would suck.

I feel the boosted characters hurt more than help. The scaling increases with the highest 3(?) And that boosted 2*, especially weak ones like Moonstone or Bullseye, increase it without adding much assistance to overcome that. That's just my opinion.

I sold my hawkeye as his cover flow like water for some reason and other than a mags and storm team up, I never use him. Though I had two reds of his to fill the vacant slot.

might sell Ms Marvel in the near future. I'm at a spot where, other than 3 or 4 at level 135, the remaining 20 of 3s fall in the 100-127 level range. No matter who I decide to champion next it will be a lot of iso regardless so selling off any one 2 star isn't a solution right now.

Might hold off on opening tokens and go back to my old "get everyone up to 140/150" approach before championing anymore.

While I agree that OBW is top of the 2* class, I would just keep the ones you like to use the most. As for selling, just get rid of them and don't worry about the essentials too much. 2* cards come so quick that you can just keep a roster spot open as a rotating essential spot.

Look at which 3* are in your roster and you want to build. I just sold Thor because i wanted to champion squirrel girl and resetting Thor 2* means getting 3 more Thor 3* covers for my champion 3thor.

halirin

If you have champed 3*s, then beating a level 160 node with a fledgling 2* shouldn't be hard. Sell the ones you don't use much and start them again. Maybe start with ones that have good 3* rewards.

smoq84

I'm using only OBW + Ares + Storm. I've already sold other 2*'s.

But if you still found 2*'s useful maybe it's to soon for selling them? If you don't have enough strong roster to keep without them I would wait. It could be even better to sell some lame 4*'s like Cho or Mr.F.

And for sure it's not worth to sell 2* champion until his maxed (144lvl) because it's a huge ISO loss.

Basically the way my roster looks is this:

I am transitioning between 3* and 4*. I am maxing out my 3* right now, so I need ISO. All of my 4* characters are barely leveled up, or don't have enough covers to make it worthwhile to pump ISO into them.

So, I have 1 cover of 5* phoenix, 2 covers of silver surfer... then my next are level 172 doc oc, 170 patch, 169 lazy-thor, 168 GSBW, 168 blade, 167 kamala khan. The rest of the 3* are in the 70-80 range mostly.

When a PVE event rolls around, when I have the required 2*, it makes that node very easy when they are maxed out because with the buff they become pretty good overall. My roster isn't weak, per se, but it isn't strong enough in my opinion to face level 160 goons with a team of something like phoenix-patch-and a level 20 2* character. That is my fear, that selling a maxed champion will limit my immediate future for PVE. If I had a greater roster overall, then 2 strong characters could easily win the match on their own, and I wouldn't worry about the lowly 2*. That is the scenario I struggle with.

Also, the two characters I have the potential to champion next (fully covered with another cover waiting) are 3* storm and gamora. I wonder if it is even worth it to champ these covers at the expense of my 2*. I have 9 days before the first cover expires, and I need about 70k ISO.
