edit: Topic not about Moonstone anymore -->

Decided to use same topic as before, question is just different. So Three covers of Rocket & Groot or two covers of Chulk? I have currently also icon_warmachine.pnggreentile.png and SpiderWoman_icon.PNGblacktile.png

My roster is quite different now than below since I have all of the 2*'s and just Baby cap not yet with 13 covers.

    If you were to add her, it should be because you'd use to for matches, since the cost of maxing her to get Hulk covers is a rather steep initial investment at ~70K ISO. Her black is pretty good against special tile creators, though I say that from the POV as someone who often uses special tile makers against her.

    Well I think she would do great vs muscles, kishus, dakens and bullseye. But on the other hand even though she gives Hulk, Hulk gives turd Hulk... So not so sure about that or should I wait for someone better instead of her 4* or 5* ? Recycling seems to be the trend nowadays for 2*'s.. And I have them all besides Ares & Moonstone & Baby Cap (and bagman)

    In my opinion, Moonstone is okay but can easily be skipped. She has a large health pool which is nice. Her red can be powerful, but comes with the drawback that it is also powered by the amount of red on the board. Her black is situational and at times can really make a difference, but in my experience it's not reliable enough against tile spamming goons. Her purple is hardly ever useful, though.
    So whether or not to add her... if you have a roster spot to spare, go for it if you're a completionist or if you want to invest in championing her for champion rewards.

    She's definitely not the most useless 2* but she's almost never going to be essential and as a champion her extra covers don't really give anything significant.

    The main reason to champ her would be because you want access to the utility offered by her black, which is her only real claim to fame.

    I don't personally have her rostered, but I'm slowly overcoming my deficit in roster slots and at some point in the distant future I do expect to roster her.
  • I championed Moonstone, got all the Hulk covers and then found I never used her so I sold her to slot another 3*.

    So the bottom line to me, is she is great while you are weak and transitioning from championed 2* to 3* and 4*, but eventually I found better 3* that could do what she did. I need more slots to recruit 4* at the moment, so that's where you end up.

    Thanks for your replies everyone. Just for Hulk covers? Not wise. And as said above, it is rarely essential either, so I have decided to put her in my roster, but when some new 4* which I yet don't have comes up, I replace her.

    I personally like her, but she is still pretty limited. Once in a while, I'll use Moonstone/She-Hulk/Ant-Man to make sure I can steal Muscle's strike tiles.

    She can be skipped, and I might even dump her soon.

    Looks like getting no answers in this one so I try to roster both just need 900 more hero points in a week

    My 2 cents on this: if you had to roster just one, I'd go for Cho, mostly based on the argument that he's a 4* character and thus harder to come by. If you can roster both, go for it too.

    My line of reasoning: since his rework, Cho is not automatically trash-tier any more. Rocket & Groot is fun to play, although not top tier 3* either. Going by your roster, you seem to be doing well in 3* land already (champ that KK though icon_e_wink.gif).

    Adding R&G can be handy for the usual purposes (widened roster, required missions, eventual champ rewards, etc) but it's probably not someone you would miss if you decided not to roster him. Except for the requireds, of course.

    For Cho... the reasoning would be about the same, I guess...

    Thanks for reply icon_e_smile.gif I have already champed Kamala too that roster shown is just outdated at the moment. Going to update it soon though. I might get third cover for Cho from his Inferno so if that happens, it's definitely Cho I'm gonna put in my roster and trash R&G's... Today got also Spider-Gwen but I don't think she can compete with War Machine or Spider-Woman.

    Rostered Cho and now have another problem: Still 3 R&G's or Spider-Gwen/Spider-Woman/War Machine/Mr F ? I think will finally roster R&G's (550 hero points later)
