Roster Help...

Unknown

Hi, I'm a very new player, on my 25th day of gameplay, and I need to make space for some new characters. I know I shouldn't have been using up tokens when I don't have the roster space for them, but all my characters are levelled up to their max, so I was pretty cover hungry and needed to use up the tokens to try and find more covers for my players. I got them but I also had a few hidden surprises too...

Anyway, here's my team list (all levelled up to their level max given the covers I have for them)...

1*

Iron Man (5/5/3) Lvl 50

2*

c Storm (2/5/4) Lvl 69
a Wolverine (4/4/2) Lvl 61
Thor (4/2/2) Lvl 45
mn Magneto (2/1/3) Lvl 30
o BW (2/2/1) Lvl 22
Daken (2/1) Lvl 14
Captain America (0/1/0) Lvl 6

3*

The Punisher (1/1/2) Lvl 30
Black Panther (0/1/1) Lvl 18
The Hood (1/1/0) Lvl 18
gs BW (0/0/1) Lvl 15
Dr Doom (1/0) Lvl 15
The Hulk (1/0/0) Lvl 15
patch Wolverine (1/0/0) Lvl 15

The rewards that I have waiting are (in order of urgency, due to time running out)...
***Loki - Purple
***Daredevil - Red
***modern Thor - Green

Should I sell off Iron Man (still a tank for me, at my current level) or some 2* characters (perhaps those that I haven't levelled up sufficiently yet, e.g. Captain America) to make more room for the 3* ones? If yes, which?

Or should I just let the timer run out and keep waiting for more HP in which case I can buy more roster spots?

I know I will eventually need to move on to 3* characters but right now, I am mainly reliant on my 2* ones. All but 1 of my 3* characters have only 1 or 2 covers each, making them quite useless currently, unless buffed up in PvE events. Even my Punisher is still too weak to be used unless buffed up. It feels like too many 3* characters are currently dead weights, taking up much needed roster spots on my teamlist. In fact, I was actually aiming for the 2* Wolvie covers in the recent The Hulk PvE tournament but by some fluke (I was gunning for the 160000 point The Punisher green cover and stopped playing once I got it. I thought other players would catch up with me but they never did), I ended up higher than 6666 and "won" the gold modern Thor. Who might be good when he is of a higher level but right now, my 2* Thor is still way better.

So right now, I have 16 spots, 15 occupied, and 3 3*heroes vying for the last unoccupied spot. Any advice on what I should do?

By the way, I realise Thor + 2 Wolvies means I have 3 characters that are red/yellow/green. That seems to prevent a balanced team, and my first instinct would be to throw away patch Wolvie, let modern Thor's timer run down, or both. The only thing against that is I hear patch Wolvie's red and yellow covers make him a really good 3*.

Any other advice on team balance or strategy would also be much appreciated, thanks! Right now, my main combo is classic Storm / mn Magneto (Mags generating blues for cStorm, who lightning storms the entire team and stuns the biggest tanker if he doesn't die yet) and for my 3rd, I alternate around with Thor, aWolvie, even OBW, Iron Man and Dr Doom.

I'd say sell Cap and maybe Daken to take up your three-star rewards. If you need to pass one up, it should probably be Loki.

You're right, three-stars are largely dead weight until they can be levelled up enough, but they're hard enough to obtain when you get round to wanting them that you should hang on to them if you can.

Thanks! I'll do that. Haven't had much use for Daken and Cap anyway, except when Cap is buffed in PvE events. Daken has been pretty decent as a pretty solid member of my secondary team, helping me to clear weaker teams while my strongest team recovers, so I'll be sorry to see him go. I'll probably hold onto him until the last possible moment, in the hopes that daily rewards or some event will earn me some HP.

Okay, thanks! I've read a lot of advice on 3* characters, and it seems they are going to stay dead weights until I increase their level majorly to 100+. I guess I'll be keeping all their covers as long as my primary 2* team (plus a couple of reserves, for versatility) stays intact to win me my battles.
