    I'll put Ant-Man near the top then! I seem to keep getting Miles covers, so I think I'll prepare him as well. Though actually I just pulled another 3* Spidey cover and ended up champing him. At least 3* tier is done for me!

    I still send Carnage teamups any chance I get, mostly because he only has a 12 hour patrol time - Cyclops and Elektra has it too, but I Think that's it in the fourstar tier. Quite nice way to farm XP!

    I can't check now as there is no team up request in my alliance but I think Dino is 12h as well.

    Quite possible. My Dino is not maxed yet, and I can't be bothered to scroll down the list behind my maxed powerhouses. icon_e_smile.gif
    The Age of the Dinosaur is coming soon though, considering the anniversary is just around the corner...

    No new championing since my last post, but I've got 340K stocked up now with only one relevant 4* in queue (Ghost Rider). Since what I've read about him says he's not useful leveled, I'll probably end up selling him.

    Anyway, if my current batch of 13/13s aren't upper-tier, then is a good strategy not to max them until you get a 14th cover? Or should I bite the bullet and level Ant-Man now and jump into PVP?

    I would hold off until you get that 14th cover. While Ant-Man can be really good in certain match-ups (Hello Mr. OML and your strike tiles), it is probably better to have the freedom of choice especially with the anniversary coming up.

    For Ghost Rider it might be irrelevant wether he is leveled or not, at least leveled he have larger health pool but his main weapon is penance stare and if you have that to 200% damage, you can destroy any enemy.

    Yeah, Ghost Rider is mostly about his Penance Stare, but there's no harm in leveling him up either. His green ain't bad, and any champion level is useful.

    A sudden twist!

    Latest question: I have a Miles in queue, and a Carnage coming from Daily Resupply, and only enough ISO for one (and I doubt I can sell enough 144 2*s to make up the difference). I'm leaning towards Miles, but say you all?

    If it was me, I would probably just bank the ISO. Carnage was nice when cakes were a thing but really isn't that great now. Miles is pretty ho hum too but if you absolutely want to champ one, it would be him.

    I would prefer Carnage to Miles. When he is boosted he can be a real deterant in PvP - he just guarantees health packs being used and unless he is the only fat target I normally skip him. So having him maxed could work. Not sure how that affects your game and how putting him for one match would affect the new defensive team system (if that is a real thing icon_e_wink.gif).

    I also recommend Carnage because he is nasty and you don't want to face him in PvP. Sure he makes you consume a few health packs, but you need to only play his team once to make it defensive team..

    Got 350K ISO, 3 (yes, THREE) Mr. Fantastic covers and 1 Thing in my queue.

    Other 13s:
    Carnage
    Elektra
    Invisible Woman
    Kingpin
    Mr. Fantastic
    Sam Wilson
    Thing

    12 and 11s:
    Cho
    Nova
    Prof X

    Save the ISO or capitalize on my queue "luck"?

    I would champ thing if I was in in your boat. Sell the mrf covers for ISO.

    Can you explain your reasoning? For me, the debate is in actual usage -- I play with Mr. F (with X-23 and either Carnage or XFDP) much more often than Thing. Add to that Reed's powers being less expensive than Thing's, and it's not been an easy decision for me so far.

    Thing shines when he is boosted. His damage output might not be great even then (decent) but his huge health and protective power (even at 3 covers) can slow down the opponent. And you don't want to be slowed down in PvP so you might skip boosted championed Thing. He also provides stun and board shake which is not bad.

    As for Mr F - i don't play with him outside of his DDQ clash so no real input here. If you like him as he is you will probably like him more when he is championed. Plus on the weeks when he is boosted you will get a huge advantage as not a lot o people have him (or know how to play againts him). It would also not surprise me if he gets buffed soon. But if his mechanics are changed during the buff process he might lose a bit of appeal.

    Listening to none of the advice in this last round of suggestions, I champed Mr. F! Like I said, I use him more often than Thing (who, while strong in a vacuum, has his colors better used by my other champs). I also got two Carnages in queue, but again, I think that when making such decisions, it's always better to go with who I already use unchamped vs. hoping that a character I don't use will become more useful while champed.

    Narcissistic update: I made use of those two Carnages by champing him, so that's 15 4* champs now.

    My next project: I pulled a(nother) green Cho for my 5/3/4 (plus a 3/0/0 dupe), so now I'm in a race to get 120 CP by 12/22. I'll have over 50 by the end of today, so with PVE and champion rewards, 70 more CP over 11 days should be doable, especially if I start playing PVP to 575.
