IM40

oBrokeno

I have im40 at 12 covers. Next event gives 2 in progression. Is it worth spending the cp to max his covers? Both are in a color I already have maxed. I have the ISO to champ him right away.

If any 3* is worth it it's im40.

Copps

Yeah he's worth 20cp

Magic

Hands down yes. He is one of 3 top 3* toons that you can use long after transitioning to 4* land. He shines with Thoress, IceMan, Jean and many, many top 4* while also being great help in 3* land. As was said - if there is a 3* worthy of the CP - IM40 is that 3*.

Definitely and to make things easier the first cover after championing him yields a latest Legends token
he's one of the most useful 3's out there (I go 3/5/5)
only thing he doesn't help that way is any Character with a Black Power ( Recharge Doesn't increase Black and his other two powers reduce black)
Since Unibeam and Ballistic salvo also reduce yellow Kingpin and the Hood may not be great with him
(although Intimidation can speed up recharge and Kingpin can always give Tony the finger for 6 Black))

Summer Glau mentioned it but I wanted to give his comment a little more emphasis.

When you have a three star at 12 covers and you get the 13th cover sitting there in your queue for a color that you have maxed, it almost always makes sense to spend the 20 command points for the color that you do need.

Here's the logic, 20 command points will get you a Classic Legendary Token or that last cover so that you don't have to waste the one in your queue. When you champion a three star character, your first reward is a Latest Legendary Token.

Basically, in the scenario that you have described above, you spent 20 command points on a Latest Legendary Token and got a free cover in the process.

Once it was explained to me that way, I stopped fretting and started using the command points for covers.

Or to be really, really clear about it: you spend 20cp for a cover AND a token worth 25cp. It's basically the only good bargain you'll ever get in this game.

Yes. People get a bit too precious about Cp some times.
However, if you Ironman already has 5 in yellow, it is not vital to champ him. If he has 2 in yellow, champ and respec immediately.

Ultimately, when choosing to spend on a cover the things to consider are (to me at least):
Will Championing the character now make the game easier/better for me?
Will it allow me to get the most out of a fantastic power?
Does it feel like you'll be wasting those covers by selling them for iso?

Personally I wouldn't consider it trading 20cp for an LT and a 3* cover, rather accelerating the game, as eventually you would get that cover through ddq if not before (you just might need to wait 120 days for it), and all the prizes that come afterwards. Cp is a currency to spend to make you more competative to be able to get more/better prizes, so use it as you like to make the game better for you.

Spend the CP and don't look back.

How is your IM40? Do you need a blue cover to max him?

Sharing another possible option: He's boosted on current PvE and can make difference, but if you can wait and don't want to spend CP on 3* cover, on 10/12 his DDQ will give you a blue cover, so you won't lose those 2 red covers and won't spend the 20 CP

Thanks for all the great feed back.i am missing the blue cover that will be in ddq on the 12. So it works out. Can save the covers and not have to use my cp. I don't think I realize zed how good im40 was till now though. Gonna start using him more.
