Am in in too far to reset, but still in a bad place?

Roster question -
Here's my current roster:

4*
X-Force Wolverine - 30 - 0/1/0

3*
39 MN Mag - 3/3/3
38 Daken - 5/1
25 Punisher - 0/0/2
21 Black Panther - 0/2/0
18 Classic Mag - 1/0/1
18 Hulk - 1/1/0
15 Dr. Doom - 1/0/0
15 IM40 - /0/1/0
15 Patch - 0/1/0

2*
19 Thor - 3/1/1
10 C. Storm - 1/1/3
6 OBW - 1/0/0
6 Wolverine 1/0/0

I think I screwed up badly - I burned most of my ISO on recruit tokens, most of my HP on recruit tokens and sold all my 1* characters. Also spent about 10-15 on HP, again mostly for recruit tokens but also for roster spots.

Can I recover this? I can't really do any Dark Avengers missions yet, I keep going thorugh the rest of the prologue missions but I get tanked pretty quickly and use my health packs.
*some* daily/weekly events are doable, and even doable very well, but others, like HM Juggernaught? I can't even get through the first two non-essential missions, I die very easily.

Thoughts?

  • Basically there is no quick fix for you. You should be in a 1* - 2* transition, except you burned all the 1*'s. So you have nothing to fall back on when you get unlucky. You need to earn ISO and level those 2* characters up.

    Your 2 star characters that you are using (MN Magneto and Dakan) don't really come into their own until level 50+. So, they are badly underleveled.

    So, you need to enter every event you can .. earn every reward you can .. and then apply those rewards to leveling up your characters. No more token purchases, hoard your HP. I wouldn't even make anymore roster space for 3*/4* characters. You don't need any more at this time and they will only set you back.


    You will need to think of progress in terms of months and not a week.
  • Alright - I guess that's a starting place - I have the ability to level Mags up to around 53 - just need to get the ISO for it. BTW, farming rewards is ANNOYING. I just did 8 missions in a row, 7 for one that has 2/4 rewards won and 1 for a mission that has 1/4 won and I got the 20 ISO reward each time. Doesn't seem very like probability favors me icon_e_smile.gif

    RNG God appreciates loyalty. Your threat to leave has caused him displeasure!

    In all honesty though... yeah, you're in a bit of a tight spot right now... but you've got some decent covers under your belt. It will be a little slow going, but you're definitely better off forging on instead of hitting the big red button.
  • I think what I need to do is focus on mags, get him to 53 (max level right now) and then try and get covers for the rest of the team I want, most likely Thor and Hulk. Slow going, but at least I'm moving forward.
  • If you are going to stick with this account without resetting, you should try to build a character who will combo with MN Mags purple. C.Storm, M.BW, OBW, come to mind.

    Yeah, he might be able to manage alright with Thor + MN Mags + C.Storm, though I'm too lazy to look up cover-caps for his Thor & C.Storm.

    Your characters are pretty high level. Should probably just stick it out and try to get covers on some of your more used ones.
  • Yeh, you're in too far. But like some have already mentioned, you have some good heros. Just work at it, I would specifically focus on Thor and Hulk - They seem to have almost all of their covers but distribute ISO evenly so that you don't end up with three maxed out heros and no ISO to support the others. Keep an eye out for tournaments like Divine Heros etc. Because the developers will supply covers for the buffed up heros e.g. They have heaps of Thor (MN) covers during that tournament, so if you win a token, u have a high chance of claiming more Thor covers. But like I said, keep working on it and you will recover.

    Totally agree with this. No need to reset, just play every event and secure the progression rewards. 50 pts isnt hard to get to and it nets you a token and iso along the way. Progress takes a long time--its taken me two months of frequent play to get to the point where i almost can field a 2* team. Hang in there, good luck
  • I think I'm in a better place now:

    2* - MN MAgs - L55 - 5/3/3 (didn't want the blue)
    2* - Daken - L38 - 5/1
    2* - MN Thor - L38 - 3/3/1
    2* - C Storm - L24 - 1/2/4
    2* - OBW - L13 - 3/1
    3* - Hulk - 28 - 2/1 and tomorrow's daily reward is a Hulk


    I just need to get some ISO together so I can level these guys. I'm planning to raise Hulk, and run him with MN MAgs and probably MN Thor for the time being until I can get something better.

    That's good progress! My mn.mags was also at 5 blue for a long time, just recently was able to respec to 4/4/5. Just keep playing, those covers will come eventually.
  • Things have gotten much better! Here's my updated roster

    4*
    X-Force Wolverine - 30 - 0/1/0

    3*
    41 Hulk 3/1
    25 Punisher 0/0/3
    25 Thor - 0/0/2
    21 Black Panther - 0/2/0
    19 C. Mag 1/1/1
    18 Captain America - 1/1/0
    15 The Hood - 0/1/1
    15 Patch, 1/1/0
    15 GSBW 1/0/0


    2*
    72 C. Storm - 4/4/5
    61 MN Mag - 5/3/4
    43 Thor - 4/4/4
    6 OBW - 3/1/0
    6 Wolverine 1/2/2

    This recent PVE event has been killer for me to level up my 2*, especially because C. Storm and MN Mag are both featured! It's been fun AOE'ing with Storm's Blue, and then burning through "Deadly" based events even with it. I'm hoping I can get close to maxing out C. Storm, MN MAg, and Thor and then focusing on my 3*, probably Hulk, Patch and Thor as my team.

    Any thoughts?
  • Now that's a recovery!

    Keep pushing on the MN Mag, C Storm & Thor setup, it will serve you well: it's a little squishy in defense in PvP, but it's an awesome comp in attack and it's really great to AoE and stun your foes around. Level them up and they will net you some good covers from PvP tournaments. It's still too early to start thinking about a transition from 2* to 3*, but it's never too early to start laying out the ground for the future.

    Are you in an alliance? If not, I suggest you find one right now. It's a no-brainer to join one, since there are only pros to that, in form of "free" Iso, HP and covers.
