HUGE MILESTONE NEED HELP

cooperbigdaddy

Hey all! So I opened 293 taco tokens today (I will post my token by token gains if you want to see them on another thread) and I need help with what to do next!

My roster is pretty much up to date (in my signature).
I have 315,659 ISO and 3950 HP (my slots currently cost 850), so I'm guessing I will be able to 4 slots. I don't know what number of slots makes the amount of HP per slot go up, so maybe I'll have 5? But I bet I'll have 4.
Here are the covers waiting in my queue:

2 Jessica Drew (1 , 1 )
1 Starlord
5 3*Storm (3 , 1 , 1 )
5 3* Spider-Man (2 , 2 1 )
6 3* Luke Cage (1 , 3 , 2 )
1 Doctor Octopus
1 Squirrel Girl
1 Ares
8 2* Captain Marvel (5 , 1 , 1 )
8 2* Thor (4 , 1 , 3 )
5 2* Hawkeye (2 , 1 , 2 )
14 Moonstone (5 , 4 , 5 )
10 2* Bullseye (5 , 2 , 3 )
11 OBW (3 , 5 , 3 )
14 2* Storm (8 , 3 , 3 )
14 2* Human Torch (3 , 3 , 8 )
7 2* Daken (2 , 2 , 3 )

I obviously will roster the two Jessica Drew covers.

The main help I need is do I go ahead and champion Luke, Storm, and Spider-Man to get their rewards? I currently don't have enough to champion all three, but hopefully with more champ levels of 2*s, I will.

When I add champ levels to 2*s I currently have, I believe I will net another 3* Daken and a Ragnarock. Because of lack of ISO, I believe these will go to waste. (Well, Daken will go to waste, but Rags will also go to waste because I won't roster him over a 2* to champion)

So now, it comes to which 2*s to add to champion? I estimate only 3 slots left after Jessica Drew. Should I max cover Moonstone, roster a 3/3/5 HT hoping to get 2 more non-green covers soon, and a 10 cover Bullseye? I want to champ these folks soon to start up their farm.

Again I don't have enough ISO to champ the 2*s, but then I also have almost 3000 Standard tokens. Should I open those to get 2* champ levels and sell all the 1*s to get the ISO I would need to do all this?

Is there a better strategy I'm not thinking of?? What am I missing?

Looks like you already have the 2*s championed except for Hawkeye, Moonstone, and Bullseye, and you don't have enough covers to champ Hawkeye or Bullseye anyway, so Moonstone is the only big priority as far as 2* farming goes. Roster the others as HP is available.

If you do roster all the 2*s, then there's no real reason to hoard standard tokens anymore: you'll probably get enough covers to get Bullseye up to max and the iso you get will be more than enough to champ everyone, even if you need to bring up Hawkeye too.

Still looking over your roster as far as higher tiers go.

EDIT: you're at the point where you want to think about rostering all the threes but that's a longterm project. The only actual important one to roster is Luke Cage.

So assuming you aren't spending any money, my advice would be to roster Jessica, Moonstone, and Luke, sell your standard hoard, and reevaluate. Then roster any 2*s you can champ (probably at least Bullseye) and then if there are no other priorities, roster any 3*s you can.

You should get a decent amount of HP from all the champ levels, hopefully it's enough to make use of most of your queue. I personally like having a clean queue and would be tempted to just sell everything I couldn't immediately use, but you'll probably want to hang onto this stuff for as long as you can to see if you get any HP windfalls out of DDQ in the next couple weeks.

UPDATE!

I did some 2* farming and boy was it fun!

Now I have some more questions. Oh boy!

I currently have 299,075 ISO. Here are my options for which 3*s to champion (all ISO prices are including the champion 7500):
Kamala Khan (94,783 to champion, 1 cover in queue)
Doctor Doom (112,944 to champion, 1 cover in queue)
Daken (113,862 to champion, 2 covers in queue)
Cyclops (118,342 to champion, 2 covers in queue)
Gamora (122,485 to champion, 3 covers in queue)
Deadpool (123,012 to champion, 0 covers in queue, 1 tomorrow from DDQ)
Spider-Man (123,012 to champion, 6 covers in queue)
Bullseye (126,594 to champion, 3 covers in queue)

And if that's not enough, here are the 3*s I don't have rostered in my queue:
Squirrel Girl 7 covers
Ragnarock 3 covers
Quicksilver 3 covers
Doctor Octopus 2 covers
Psylocke 1 cover
Sentry 7 covers

I currently have 2900 HP, enough for 3 slots.

I have 0 Standards and Elites (already opened them), 248 Heroics and 3 10-pack Heroics, but those could be 2*s or 3*s for farming, or 3*s I don't have the ISO to champion yet, or 4*s I don't have a slot for yet. I also have 285 Savory Taco Tokens (I will probably get up to 8 more of these by playing every day this taco week, so 293) so I could potentially get 1 Mr. Fantastic [who I might sell?] and Devil Dino [who I would just add to my existing DD], 4000 more HP, allowing me at least 4 more spots, so I could roster 4 more of the 3*s I don't have and hoping to get a lot more ISO from the vault and events.

What are the thoughts on these options?

(Also, I love farming! )

First point: money will solve your problem. Buying roster slots is the only money I've spent on the game and I don't particularly regret it. Those slots will be there forever and you can farm to your heart's content.

Assuming that isn't in the cards, though, most of those unrostered characters are going to get turned into Iso. In terms of quality, the ones you have much potential to use on a regular basis are Daken (because true healing makes everyone good), Cyclops, and Kamala Khan.

Deadpool is also a decent investment because whales is an instant win whenever you absolutely need one.

When you do champ your 3*s, don't open the legendary tokens, though. Those are almost guaranteed to be characters you can't roster until you get a good amount more HP. Ultimately you're going to need something like 100 roster slots and you're just going to keep falling behind quickly if you open stuff that can give you 4*s you have to roster.

From this point forward try to let your HP supply be your guide. Feel free to open whatever you like as long as you have the HP to roster someone new. As for who to roster right now I'd worry more about efficiency than actual usability (they're all pretty marginal), and roster sentry, squirrel girl, and Quicksilver.

If you are going to crack open the Tacos, I'd be inclined to wait for the next savory week - at least you get a shot at a decent 4* or two (think Bucky might be next after anniversary week?).

UPDATE!!

I've updated my roster in my signature and I've gotten up to 313,530 ISO and 2250 HP. (I will continue to gain more ISO because I'm still playing DDQ and other events)

Here are my maxed cover characters and how much it would take to champion them:
2 Kamala Khan (94,783)
2 Cyclops (118,342)
3 Daken (113,862)
3 Bullseye (126,594) [when opening taco tokens, I could get up to 5 more of these covers]
4 Gamora (122,485)
2 Deadpool (123,012)
1 Doctor Doom (112,944)

Here are the covers I have that I could recruit, almost all of which are expiring in about 8 days:
2 Doc Ock
3 Quicksilver
3 Ragnarock
4 Sentry
5 Squirrel Girl
2 Psylocke
1 Star-Lord
1 4* Luke Cage


I'm planning on opening my 295 Savory tokens to get all the HP and some ISO when it comes back around in 5 days. Also, hoping to open anywhere from 12-25 Anniversary tokens in hopes I get those sweet, sweet HP prizes.

So I need some help to know what to do quickly after I open those tokens. Obviously I will farm all the 2*s I get. I mean, as soon as I get 5 more 2*Cap, I'm maxing and selling him so that's another slot open. So that means, I'm hoping to have 7 slots after opening all the taco tokens, which means I can add those covers to SG and roster the rest of the folks. The only reason I wouldn't is if I get a really good 4* to replace a different character. Who's the worst character on this list compared to how many covers I have for them? (Who's better 4 Sentry covers or 3 Rags covers?)

And the biggest question is, who do I champion?? I hate losing covers for champions, but I also use some of those characters more than others. What would be your list of who to champion? I will do them in order based on everyone's opinions and as many as I can with the amount of ISO I have.

Thanks in advance!

Kamala and Cyclops to champ for sure.
