I also just got lazy cap red and yellow and i'm wondering if I should get rid of someone to make a new spot or buy a new spot to put him in. But I'm transitioning from 2* to 3* roster right now and I'm wondering what y'all think of my lineup

Comments

  • You're unfortunate that all the good 3* characters you have (Patch, Punisher, Mags, BP, Hood) are all so low on covers. My suggestion would be to max out your 2* team of choice (Wolvie, Storm and MN Mags I assume?) and use them to try to get more 3* covers.

    Regarding your Lazy Cap covers, I'd definitely say he's worth keeping. If you have the HP for a slot, then definitely buy one (you can never have too many roster spots), but if you absolutely have to get rid of someone you already have, I'd boot Loki. He's the weakest 3* character IMO, so one you can afford to leave behind.
  • Always keep the covers you already have as long as you can afford more slots. Selling a cover almost guarantees it will be featured in the next event, most likely as part of an essential node. Definitely keep Lazy Cap, going by past events he'll be buffed 90 levels in the next PvE and get his own two rounds of PvP.

    Which lineup are you running, Astonishing Wolverine, Classic Storm and MN Mags? I'd probably get them all up to level 85, helps a lot in going after 3* covers. You might also want to consider getting Wolvie one more red at cost of one yellow (more damage), Storm one more blue at cost of one yellow (longer stun) and Mags one more purple at cost of one blue (better blue battery for Storm). Depends a lot on your personal play style though.

    You're on a good path to creating a succesful 2* team, that might be your main goal for now. C.Storm great with MN Magneto feeding her blue for devastating AoE attacks, and Wolvie accompanies this duo really well. It would be unreasonable to spend Iso on 3* characters which can't surpass the power level of your 2*, move on to them only after you have collected enough covers to get them to level 100-ish. And definitely keep Lazy Thor, he's worth it.

    You can't sustain the 2* to 3* move without having some maxed out 2* stars. Remember that 3* characters need to be at Lvl 100 before they start to inflict more damage than their maxed out 2* equivalent. Looking at your roster Ast. Wolverine, both Storms, OBW and either Thor or Ares are essential. Your priority should be maxing those.

    I also like having plenty of roster slots. I had 28 before I really starting looking at the 3* characters seriously. Decent sized rosters are essential for the PVE events, in fact due to the way the game scales a wider roster is more important than 3*, as you are more likely to have the required character for the PVEs.
  • MN.Mags isn't one of the best 2*s, but your config is an exception to the general rule because of how very well he works with C.Storm. As Moghwyn said, you probably want 5/5/3 Wolvie, 5/5/3 C.Storm, and 3/5/5 MN.Mags, and level all of them to 85. OBW is the best investment at the 2* level, so grab her covers when and if they are available. 2* Thor and Ares are the other really good 2*s; if you can build up your OBW, I like Ares better, but without OBW, Thor. In my opinion, don't dump any more ISO into 2* Cap or M.Hawkeye; they might be somewhat useful when buffed during future events, but for general use, you have better options.

    Scrape up as much HP as you can to increase your roster size; that's always the first HP priority. Loki is the weakest of your 3*s, and is probably the "best" character to ditch if you're forced to, but try to avoid selling 3*s if at all possible. 3* Cap will almost certainly be a featured character in the next week or two of events, so keeping him is a good idea.

    Edit: Daken is also a solid 2*; you may want to buy a slot for him if you get some of his covers. I expect the 3* Daken to be a beast of a character, as well.
