    at this point in your roster, with limited rosters slots, I'd only roster solid, mid-to-top tier 4s. wasp and venom can be sold - you won't miss them. at that point I'd rather sell 3-4 of their covers than getting peggy or ice started with 1. 4s are a long way off and by then you won't want to spend iso on any low-tier character first, so you'll likely be selling covers for them then if they all get covered relatively uniformly (they won't, but that's another subject). I'd rather sell covers now for em and get a little started on the top 6-8 4* characters. because those are the ones you'll want to put iso into first.

    I hand probably spent 100k ISO on standard tokens to build up 2 stars and get some 3 star covers.

    Update on day 138...I now have 7 championed 3 stars and I am broke. I have 7,000 ISO left after I just championed my 3 star. I'm glad I stopped wasting my ISO on standard tokens. I also now have like 10 4 star covers sitting in my unused pile that are going to go to waste. I have been giving priority to 4 stars that I have multiple covers of (Wasp, Venom, Wolverine, Thing, Iceman, Professor X, Ant-Man). I also rostered a 5 star Hulk that I think I want to get rid of. He's pretty worthless with only 1 cover.

    I'll be honest, I just started reading this thread today and was going to post on the spending ISO on standard covers.

    Probably like six months ago, I was in the same place, I was bored and was spending 15K ISO at a time on Standard covers mostly out of boredom. Then very suddenly I got my twelfth cover on a 3 star, then the thirteenth, then another twelfth and all of my three stars hit at once and I want from mad stacks of ISO to broke in the space of like a week.

    The other thing I did was add levels to my five star characters when I got them. It was only after the fact that I should leave them at 255.

    Yeah, the sudden iso drain hits you out of nowhere.

    One other bit of help that I discovered recently. There are a few threads on here that will tell you what the upcoming DDQ three star characters are. Hoard your Taco Tokens until you get into a cycle that features the three star characters that you can use.

    I have 120k ISO. I can't spend it anywhere near as much as I get it. I'm just getting frustrated that I can't progress faster. I play DDQ every day and everything else I can. I am getting very impatient.

    I feel you. It's frustrating. I just made the transition to 3* land a couple of months ago. I also used to horde up about 100k ISO then spend it all on standard tokens and I can tell you, I regret the hell out of it now. That 120k you have saved up right now is just about enough to champ a 3*. I know it's burning a hole in your pocket but believe me, pretty soon you'll be spending ISO faster than you can make it. I've got three characters just waiting for me to get that 120K to champ them right now. Do the DDQ, do events, you'll get there soon. I promise.
