Hi.

I've been playing for 176 days and made quite a few mistakes early on.

I now have a redflag.pngicon_silversurfer.png expiring in 2 days and don't know whether to roster him or not. I have a greenflag.pngicon_thing.png and blueflag.pngicon_professorx.png expiring in 6 days. I might be able to get a roster slot in the next couple of days but probably not 2. I think I made a mistake early on rostering icon_blackbolt.pnggreenflag.png when I was completely stuck and not winning anything including DDQ. And then again got frustrated and raised him to level 260. But that seems to have been the wrong move.... seeing champed 3 star.png & 5 star.png in PVP so just do the LRs right at the beginning if I can. I think it will make my experience worse as I will face higher level enemies in PVE (that's already happening) - but - it's a 5 star.png. I so want a 5 star.pngicon_lol.gificon_lol.gif Though the one I have is barely used. He dies faster than my 3 star.png s I feel (probably not true).

Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

    I've been playing only a couple of weeks longer than you, so I'm not going to presume to give advice on 5*s - don't have any, don't want any.

    What I will say is, stop opening legendary tokens! Join No-pull November if you need peer support with that.

    You have roster slots available - you don't need all those 1*s. Juggs or Iron Man can handle DPD solo.

    As above. You can sell hawkeye and 1*Storm to roster those 2 4*s.
    With a few 3*s heading towards 13 covers, once you get more up towards champ levels and their boosts start kicking in, the Black Bolt effect will be reduced, so if you can hang on a bit longer, you'll make it through this rocky patch.
    I would consider spending 20cp for a 3* Cap red (unless one is due to come up soon through 2* Cap or DDQ), get him champed then reconfigured to 3/5/5. With that 5 in yellow your Ironman has, they will help power through many a pve node.

    Sold off the remaining 3 for roster slots following your advice, thank you.

    I rostered Thing ProfX and Silver Surfer - couldn't resist that last one.

    That 5* was from 20CP pull - a horrible unexpected shock!! So now I've stopped doing that too, stopped HT and trying to stop pulling elite tokens too - worrying about what happens when all the 2*s are maxed....

    Did that too, thanks. Now Prodigal Sun is a bit of fun, and TBE for a couple of days before they make that too tough for me again icon_e_smile.gif

    I thought I'd keep Silver Surfer for a bit, maybe till just before the end of Prodigal Sun, so that scaling doesn't get me again in the next event. Then roster Quake in his place (she's in my queue - not a 20CP pull - HT or Taco, not sure which).

    Is that a good plan? Or should I keep him too and see how that works out?

    If I don't open any tokens, I'll have to depend on PVE progression for any 4* covers.

    What else could I do to progress?

    Thanks in advance!

    I don't know that I see any particular need to remove Surfer from your roster, unless you need the spot for something else (and since you have all of the 3* rostered except for Sentry and Rags, I don't know if this is going to happen... I would sell a low-ranked 4* before surfer).

    You are very close to having enough champed 3* that the boosting each event will boost them to a level higher than your 5*. If you're doing OK in Prodigal Sun (where your 3* champs aren't boosted), then you'll be fine going forward from a scaling perspective. As others have said, just don't open LTs or spend CP for LT pulls until you get more 3* champs.

    Don't stop opening Elites would be my advice (or HTs really as the chances of 4* are relatively low). When you max a 2*, let a few more of that characters covers build up in your queue, then sell the one at 144 and roster a new one and repeat for all the Champion rewards. Can seem a bit daunting at first, and if there are a couple of 2*s you really rely on you may want to leave them a bit longer, but in the long run it'll help get some of those 3*s champed and provide extra HP to roster those 4*s.
