Which four-star to champ?

I have now quite a few four-star champs: Cyclops, Flaptain, Quake, IMHB, Iceman, Antman, Miles Morales, Ghost Rider, Carnage, X-23. I also have a soft-capped 314 OML who has a lot of oomph.

Now, I amassed quite a few Leg Tokens and CP and now with double ISO started pulling but had some really bad luck and drew three Invis Women, two Nick Furys and one ProfX. Also got some usable ones and some totally useless ones but those three I have at 13 covers so I could champ one of them. Should I?

Sue shares colours with Quake, Nick with Antman, and ditto for ProfX so they wouldn't help in that regard. I also have Thoress and Venom at 13 covers but Peggy is at 11 so I'm not convinced about needing Thoress (and I have Cyclops and Flaptain already of the same colours) and Venom... I suppose I'd use him boosted but I dunno.

My long-term hopes for champing would be Peggy and Winter Soldier who have 11 and 10 covers respectively. I would also love Moon Knight but he is a sad 5/0/1 (and I got another black from the Leg Token hoard...). XDP and Kingpin are at 12 covers and both look possible in the future. But all those will take some time to get around to champing. I do keep a stash of CP around to give myself the option of buying a cover if someone important is at 12 and needs champing.

It seems that Invidible Woman would be the most likely to receive a boost sometime in the future and I have the most covers for her so I'm kinda leaning her way but not sure.

I could also champ some of my remaining three-stars or get the 2-star farm fully going.

Any advice would be deeply appreciated - thanks!

    The more champions you have, the less covers you waste. I wouldn't worry too much about performance, with weekly boosts characters with similar color Schedules aren't really in direct competition with each other anyway. I would advice getting your two- and Three-star characters set up first though.
    Also, don't discount Thor. That long stun of hers can be very useful, particularly when you back it up with a Smite or two.

    I guess i can echo Quebbster (wouldn't be the first time icon_e_wink.gif

    Thoress when boosted is a beast of quickness when paired with IM40. Not boosted the pair looses a lot of firepower but still works well. Peggy is supposed to be great and you are not far off so all depends on your ISO situation. XDP is also amazing - pairs well with many heros.

    For the ones you have ready clearly Thoress is the leader of the pack. IW remains bottom untill she is boosted. Still - as Q said - when you champ the covers are no longer wasted and you get extra rewards.

    Overall any 4* is worth it on the boosted week.

    The one exception - I advice against champing Prof X. It renders winfinity useless and even if you don't use it often it is still good to have it ready when needed.

    I champed my Professor X long ago and haven't regretted it. Then again, he was leveled a bit too high to be viable in Charlie's Angels without at least one Angel being boosted. I can usually make him work when he is boosted, one way or Another.

    Echoing what Magic said, if you're worried about viability Thoress is your best bet. Boosted she hits like a truck and you'll generally have a match wrapped up after one recharge from IM40. Even unboosted her blue is a problem solver against anything other than bosses.

    I have Venom champed, and he's very much the 4*'s Squirrel Girl; very strong in certain situations and hits super hard when boosted, but doesn't quite come together enough for general use.

    XPD and Kingpin are both pretty boss. Kingpin boosted does 10k for 6 on his black if you have a count-down tile (which makes him pair really well with Switch and Iceman), and his pink makes for a killer battery for OML. XDP is just all around solid and pairs with a lot of people, XFW especially.

    Prof X is an odd one. On the one hand Team Winfinite is not something to be casually discarded. On the other hand boosted he's a pain to deal with PvP and his pink can pull your fat out of the fryer pretty easily.

    To be honest, I'd sit on those covers you pulled for as long as you can. If you pulled her recently they'll keep after the anniversary wraps up, and by then we'll likely hear who's next for a revamp. I think you're right that IW is most likely. Fury needs sprucing up, but his Demolition is still a treat, and Starlord works as a support character, it's just there's always a better option. IW just doesn't do much right now.
