How many 3*'s did you use today?

Meander

So far I've used 7, most of which are in DDQ- Oc, DP, Switch in the required node, KK, IM40 (w/4hor) in TBE, Loki in LR, Cap in PVP, and DD in PVE. I'm a 5* transitioner, and that's pretty normal for me. Without DDQ, it'd probably be 2 (PVP, PVE required)

For me, Switch is a daily play as is Deadpool for his whale points. Other than that it's a **** shoot of DDQ, PVE and PVP essentials. The question to me is how many 4's have I used today? The answer is 1 in the form of XFW in the PVE essentials. Wish I had places I could use my 4's (29 champed).

The number varies, but it's always more than the number of 4*s I've used.

Didn't really think about this until your comment. On most days (when I'm PvE'ing), I might use a maximum of 4 4*. I use 4hor and JG (with IM40) in the big enchilada, and I will use the 4* essential and sometimes Iceman in PvE (Then I guess one more if there's a Crash of the Titans node that day). For 3* I use IM40, IF, SW, DP, 3* essential in PvE, 3* featured PvP, and 3* required DDQ. I guess it's not that many more, but still kinda funny I use them more often than I do 4s.

Giving ISO boosts based on how many characters you've used

That would be amazing! 10-20 ISO each time you use a given character for the first time in a given day. Such an amazing idea!

I have no champed 4* and 24 champed 3*, only 1 fully covered 4* (4Thor) at 250, have SL at 180 (4/2/3), Ant-Man at 168 (4/0/3) and PX at 150 (5/3/3). All 3* fully covered.

I had originally estimated 10-15, but when I actually thought about who I was using, it came out much more.

From what I recall, here's what I used: 23 Total, currently 18th in S5v Hulk ~83k points, 1600+ points in Simulator before dropping, have not started First Avenger pvp. If I used the character multiple times in different events, I didn't list them twice.

Hmm, the number is probably the same for me, though I only have OML, so the other two spots for PvE/Sim are almost always 4*.

I think I use 5-10 a day, from a group of 14 champed + Quake, Peggy, GR and Elektra who are level 131 and under but still useful in spots.

It is totally true - we are getting close to the same number of 4*'s and none are required for PVP or DDQ so my 3* number is much LARGER than what I use in 4* land. After two clears in PVE I pretty much have to use the 5*, and I usually only use the buffed 4*'s.

Pretty much every day this week I've done:
5*/Buffed 4*/3* in PVP (ONE)
(Essential)/5*/Buffed 4* in PVE (TWO-THREE, this week it's been one + SW )
HB/JG/(Cmags) in PVE hard nodes first couple runs (occasionally) (THREE-FIVE)
5* essential in DDQ (...every five days, so it barely counts.)

Five is pretty much the highest number of 4*'s I've been able to use any given day. Some solutions to the 3* non-usage could be carried over for the 4* non-usage as well.

OneLastGambit

On a given day I will use

The required pve
The required PvP

Cage and fist with oml for pve speed runs
Im40
Gsbw
Switch

That's every day. Occasionally there might be another in there but not many more

I should clarify, my OML is only 375, so I'm not forced to use him. With Iceman-HB are boosted next week, I'll run them in PvP over OML. And for PvE, I use him really only for the hardest levels.

The fun of this game for me is using characters, I'll be damned if I'm ever pigeon-holing my roster.

veny

Look, you cant have a poll asking two things (that dont have to come together) in one question...
Me? I used like 5 of them - i did DDQ (Octopus), gained some deadpool points (Deadpool) and some PvE (Kamala Khan, Iron Man, Daredevil).
I use more of them when i do Gauntlet/Shield, but there are some i dont ever use (Psylocke, Octopus)...

Warbringa

I have a developed 3* roster. Today, so far, I have played the following 3*:

Daredevil, Cap, IM40, Switch, Deadpool, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Blade, Magneto, Hulk, Hood, Thor.....I will most likely also play Cyclops, Beast, Patch tonight as I make my final clears so I usually play 10-15 per day when playing PvE because I like playing different teams and having a useful roster saves me in health packs as I rarely if ever have to use them except for essentials sometimes.

I actually use almost all of my champed 3* because there are certain characters that match up well against certain nodes.

Not sure why I would want to push my 4* characters since I only play PvE. It is not like the game will get any easier with scaling.

rixmith

I have 2 usable 5*'s and 6 champed 4*'s. Every day I use:

Deadpool + Beast + DDQ Required character
IM40 + LCap + KK for Big Enchilada

In PVE today I've used Scarlet Witch, Iron Fist, Daredevil, Magneto (also used LCap/IM40/KK there as well)
I used to use Vision + IF + Blade for PVE easy nodes, but now with the need to clear 4 times as fast as possible I just go PH/OML/IF

And since we have Lightning Rounds today that adds 5 more. If only LRs rotated all the 3*'s through them...

So that is 15 different 3*'s today.

rixmith

As a side note, the only 4*s I've used today have been Kingpin and XFW. I'd sure like to get more value out of that tier...

Sluggo

I had to think about this a minute.

- Did my four clears in PVE: used IM40, Magn3to, Daredevil, Scarlet Witch, Dak3n, Iron Fist

- My daily DDQ: Th3r for Big Enchilada, D3adpool for 3TaT (I use him here every day to build DP points)

- Lightning round clears: does using your own characters instead of loaners count? I end up using my own level 100-110 Doom, Loki, Gamora, Mystique, etc, but I don't think they count since I could just as easily use the loaners.

So ... 8.

dr tinykittylove

Ddq - ock, deadpool
Pve - sw, if, dd, hulk
Lr - rags, doom, loki, mystique, cmags
Sim - QS, Vision
Will use lcap when I start pvp later.

Oddly enough, I was just thinking about using more 3*s today as I put in a puff pastry team of level 155 Venom/Drax/Peggy after I hit 2k in Shield sim to feed some points down to transitioners and had a bunch of retal nodes. But I maintained an underlevelled roster and used 3*s up to the advent of championing, not to mention all the pve and pvp essentials that are always there.

For today, instead of OML/PHX I used SS (L350), Goblin (L255 1/1/1), champed Dpx & X23, newly champed WM, L155 Drax, Peggy, Howard, IW, Thing, SL. L145 Kate and Bucky. Possibly there were others I don't recall. It was fun. But there really are few opportunities to exercise my roster freely without time constraints. Right after I cleared all the retals and seeds I was facing all high level or champed 5*s again.

The Herald

20 Champion 3*s, about to break out 3 more (they were already partially levelled then some covers landed for all 3).

I have NO fully covered 4*s. I hold that this is something pretty normal for anyone who isn't a vet, the 4* pool was always deep for me so it's a mix of RNG progression plus gradual Champion climbing (which is actually working out okay, I'm just not past the 3* tier yet).

Scaling seems okay at my level, but I'm a bit out of the race when it comes to progression rewards and PvP (both forms of PvP basically).

Smudge

Today, out of my 32 championed 3*s, I used:

DDQ: Ock, Patch, and Deadpool (required node). GSBW and SWitch (with PX) to winfinite the Big Enchilada.
PvE: Hulk (required), Daredevil (required), IM40, CMags, Deadpool, Daken.

10 unique 3* characters. Notice that all of my 3* choices in PvE are boosted or at least reasonably useful, however... and I have all of those champed. If it were a different boosted list, the only characters that would likely remain on this list are all of my DDQ characters and IM40.

My 4* use is much lower. Take it with a grain of salt, however, because I only have my champed 4Thor and a 111 Invisible Woman with 13 covers. Nick and XFW each have 12 covers.

DDQ: PX
PvE: 4Thor, XFW (required), and Kingpin.

Still, I used more 5* characters clearing PvE trivial nodes than I used 4* characters... I think that is pretty sad. The trickle of 4* characters is so slow that I would rather use a single-cover GG over a 10 cover level 172 IMHB because GG's utility is so much higher due to match damage. I will sing a different tune when HB is boosted since I do have 5 red covers, but still, this speaks volumes to me about the state of the 4* tier.

mckauhu

Well I like to use different characters and I'm not yet firmly in a 4* land so I use them a lot. Around 20 3*'s today. I use them mainly for the three first simple nodes in pve. But also in harder nodes they do come handy at times. Then of course when their health drops too low, using backup teams and in final nodes IM40 becomes priceless.

Fightmastermpq

6 - DDQ, PVE, PVP, IM40, IF, and SWitch every day.

Maybe more on LR days (I work and usually miss most of them). With XFW being essential in PvE I will sometimes bring out Dr. Doom or Mystique to use with XFDP - that blue really gets the part started with the X-Force Duo.
