My recent roster
OML 2/3/2 LV360
Phenix 1/5/4 LV359
SS 1/3/0 LV285
BSS: 0/2/2 LV255
GG:0/1/1: LV255
Electra LV273
Deadpool LV271
Nick: LV273

Full roster but need ISO to champion: Jean, The thing, Falcaptain, Starlord, redhulk, IW, antman, Professor

I use this team for PVE and PVP. I feel no stress and wonderful. I keep OML level higher than Phenix to tank damage. Now my phenix could climb to 405 and purple is full. I am thinking to level up my phenix to make PVP more powerful. should I do this, or any suggestion which 4 stat to champion next??? greeting for any advise

    Excuse me but it's Phoenix. Don't level her unless you want to get really challenging battles. I would go for Jean or Falcaptain next (or Rulk)

    Red Hulk should definitely be leveled before Captain Falcon. Rulk is awesome, Sam Wilson is... not so much.

    It's Phenix in Middle English.

    I searched for it in google and got just one picture of Jean Grey Phoenix with that (named Phoenix). And this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenix_(comics)

    But I understand it is possible, ok thanks for your clarification. I just thought it was typing error.

    Probably not. MMR starts to get goofy right about where you are. You should still be seeing a good bit of 4* teams in PvP, but if you take her to 405 those will start to disappear and you will only see 5* teams. If you are already only seeing 5* teams then go ahead, but if you want to keep being able to fight against 4* teams then wait until you can level both OML and Phx together.

    Thanks for u all opinions. My English is not good. I really typed the wrong words "phenix".
    I am in top 50 PVE alliance. I am on MPQ day 624. I felt tired of this game in recent two months. If I don't do some change in MPQ, all I have to do is grinding every PVE node every day, like a part-time job. Very boring. Now I just want to make this game more challenge and fun for me.

    I have very similar roster and I brought my Phoenix first to lvl405 and now to lvl435. My OML is lvl345. I'm not sorry I did this, Phoenix is fun. Especially, since you have 5 purple and 4 red. The caveat is that I pretty much feel I have to use her for everything I do if I want things easier. For PvP, when I was lvl405 I saw mostly boosted 4* teams and teams with similar 5*. Actually, I still see these teams. PvE, scaling did increase, but nothing is impossible. I can easily clear everything I need to when max scaled. That's my experience and if things are getting stale, this might change the game a little for you and make it more interesting.

    As a first high-level 5*, she isn't bad. And you have the optimal coverage for the number of covers you have. Your MMR/scaling will change, but I think you'll be able to handle it. I would do it. Be careful bringing a second 5* up higher, though, because that's when your MMR/scaling will go really wonky.

    And I agree, she's really fun to play. Not as powerful as OML, but much more interesting and fun to play.

    Not as powerful as OML
    depends on your definition of powerful. I've lost more matches to her than oml and I play against oml much more often. I can usually beat her no problem (same with oml), but when it goes sideways with her, it goes very sideways. really wish I had more than 2 greens for her. i'll probably never have her functional. at least not for another year or so as much as tokens are diluting now.

    Word.

    When fighting OML/Phoenix teams it isn't OML that's worrying me, it's Phoenix.
    One bad purple and you're suddenly down 20K HP.

    Phoenix is terrifying.

    that's highly dependent on covers though. phx with 2 purple is not very scary. 4 or 5 = be very careful and better have a use for the purple you're denying.
