Who to drop, who to recruit?

cooperbigdaddy

So, depending on my playing, I have the possibility of getting my first Iceman cover in The Hunt PVE.

Also, if I place in this or if I do well in the Venom Heroic, I might get a new Blade cover.

ALSO, in about a month or so, I'm going to get a Silver Surfer cover from the daily rewards.

I have 0 Hero Points currently so I can't buy another slot for a while. I also spend no money, so I won't buy any HP to get one.

Looking at my updated roster in my signature, who should I drop for those three? In order, in case I don't actually get one or two of them.

Thanks so much!!

I would suggest selling your Howard. You only have 1 cover and he is only available once or twice a year. Then, I'd sell your Invisible Woman.

Your roster is not too bad. You can probably get enough hero points to roster 2 people if you really tried. It's about 100 hero points if you are top 50 in a sub event. Since you are saying that you are potentially getting these covers, I'd say you have more than 14 days which could equate to at least 1600 hero points. 100 per sub, 50 at the end of pve. Then there is the pvp which can get you probably 100-150 per event. That would be about at least 500 hero points.

Also taco tokens has a slim chance of hp. If you don't have enough spots still, there is also that 2* you can sell. I really like 2* daken, but he so common, that you will get him again pretty soon.

I'd say 2* Daken. You haven't put in any significant ISO, and 2*s are easily replaceable. If you can maxchamp 2* Human Torch by then, that would be another easy sell.

I'd disagree on Howard, for the exact reason that he is available so little. If you accept that you'll never want him, then I suppose it would be one to sell. But If you do want one, that's a hard one to replace. I'd say Doc Oc should go instead. It's easier to get two Docs than it is one Howard.

Going by the covers you have s the above poster suggests, and by the fact that you have an advanced 2* farm, you should have more HP? Are you buying tokens? Or god forbid, health packs or boosts? You should leave all your HP for roster slots at this point.

Nevertheless, if you flat out refuse to drop a few bucks in the game to get slots (why? it seems to me it has provided you hundreds of hours of entertainment), I'd suggest to get rid of your lower leveled 2*s as you can easily get them back whenever you have more HP for roster slots.

If it matters, I'm about to get 4 more covers for him through the Simulator. Is a champed 2* Daken better or a 1/1/0 Doc Ock?

I got my Iceman!
Probably won't get Blade. (Which is fine with me)
Still will get Silver Surfer, but hoping to get 1000HP by then.

C'mon pylgrim, no need to pressure anyone to spend on the game. Demi and d3 do plenty of that with the game design itself! It's great if people enjoy the game and want to spend some money on it. But its also great if cooper decides that he (i think it's he) doesnt gave disppsable income for the game right now. Mpq and the community gets a lot of benefit from dedicated f2p players. No need to trwat them as second class.

Cooper:

Its obviously best not to sell anyone, but doc oc is a good place to start as he isnt great, doesnt feed a key 4*, and has only 2 covers. Selling a 144 2* would also be a good idea. But pylgrim is definitely right: ypu should be saving all your hp for roster slots at that stage of the game.

Torch and Moonstone will probably be full and sellable long before Blade and Iceman are near 14 days. And a 0/0/1 Surfer? I wouldn't roster him. But that's more about my personal opinion.

That's true... with 180+ being your highest character, how will putting a 255 5* into your roster impact your scaling?

Hmmm. Don't know.

There will be zero impact on scaling since his 3*s will boost to 255+.

Eh, it's no pressure, and I'm certainly not treating him as second class. If he can't, he can't and he's not going to be able to just because I tell him. But he's asking for advice on improving his roster and not throwing away valuable covers in exchange of a few bucks is a legit strategy. Just wanted to make sure that he's not dismissing it out of some sort of "principle" regarding F2P games.

None. As noted it scales with your boosted characters and any champ 3* should be boosted pretty close to 255. I found in my playing that once you have 3-5 3* champs the 5* scaling penalty becomes a non-issue.

I have only spent HP on roster slots. But I don't gather HP as fast as others, unfortunately. I am not that great at PVP. I can only get to around 200 or so? I have a problem with skipping so much with that ISO tax. I think if it was eliminated, I would do better because I could actually fight battles that were closer to my roster as opposed to the maxed 4 or 5*s floating around.

Dont ever worry about the skip tax. Getting a favorable matchup us much more important in the long run. Also, you should never have less than 10 or 20k iso on hand. If you can figure out how to get to 575 every event (should be very possible with a 3* roster), it will be a significant benefit ti your roster.

UPDATES!

So I finally got my final Human Torch cover and he is maxed! So now, I will wait till the last minute and sell him to make room for Iceman. Sweet!
Once I start my climb on Simulator, I will champ Daken and keep him as another 2* farm. If I have to sell someone to make room for Surfer, I'm leaning towards Doc Ock, unless I get enough Moonstone or Hawkeye covers to max them by that time, then it's an easy sell!

Also, thanks Vhailorx for letting me know to disregard the skip tax. I'm going to try that on my next PVP and see if I can do some good climbing!
