Leveling advice required

Need some help. My situation is this: on one hand I have a 3/4/5 Cyclops at lvl250, with a blue cover expiring in 7 days, on another hand I have a max covered Dino at lvl150, with 4 covers in the queue, the earliest expiring in 8 days. I'm currently saving up on CP to give myself options, though I'm not sure if I can accumulate 120 before the Cyclops cover expires. Currently have 300k worth of ISO on hand, so I should easily get enough to max and champ Dino in 8 days.

So my question is, assuming I do get enough CP to buy a cover for Cyclops, shld I level him to get one level, or level Dino to get 4+1 levels (including my day 1090 daily reward). Obviously Cyclops is better in every aspect, but throwing away 5 covers for someone that comes once a year seems a bit wasteful.

And if I do not get that 120 CP, should I just level Dino anyway and use up all those covers?

Any suggestions would be welcome.

    I champed Dino and I am not looking back icon_e_smile.gif Will I use him? Next year maybe.

    Cyclops is great and even fantastic when boosted but I would not waste 120 CP to acquire 1 LT (this is pretty much your trade off). So unless you get the extra cover for cyclops I would just sell the spare one (maybe roster it for when the next blue arrives and if he is not champed yet you can sell both with 1k ISO profit.... if you find it worth it).

    So if you don't have anybody else close to championing pouring ISO in Dino seems ok (with extra levels you get some championing rewards). Have in mind that championing him is cheaper than the "max" button is saying. If you do it 1 level at a time the discount is about 15%. Not sure what happens when you press LVL MAX button but rumor is that the discount is also attributed (but the risk is yours).

    I would double time it and get the 120cp. In addition to the LT (for the 1st champ cover), you will be able to respec him and max out his red. With your roster he will fit right into your top tier. He might also be the most fun 4* to play because there are so many ways to use all three of his powers. I was able to squeak out some pretty awesome victories in round 8 boss rush with strategic use of his red and blue.

    You might be able to get both champed too since you already have 300k ISO, 4clops is already at 250 and you have 8 more days of ISO coming.

    Hmm.. forgot to mention I'm currently just at 60CP. So let's say I'm willing to spend the 120CP, how hard do you think it will take for me to get another 60? My CP daily reward just passed so I'm not going to get any more from there in a long while, while I'm not that good enough yet to push for the 1200 progression in PVP.

    ISO shouldn't be a problem, I have 30k coming up for SHIELD rankings, and I could always afford to sell one of my 2*s.

    Of course the best answer to this dilemma is to just draw a 3* Cyclops, as mine is at lvl181, so paired with the DDQ cover coming up it would bring him up to lvl183 for my last cover needed, but life isn't always so simple.
