When I finally opened my 1500 CP, I was able to champ 3 4*'s but if I didn't have the Iso I would not have been able to. Right now you have enough Iso to champ maybe two.
Punisher5784 wrote: As far as the scaling... you'll need to make sure the 4*'s you do champ will actually help you (e.g. Rhulk, Thor) because my scaling in PVE has sucked since I champed some 4*'s a few weeks ago. My enemies increased over 100 levels which meant ALOT OF HEALTH. It used to take me 1-2 hours for the 4 clears, now it takes me almost 4 hours and a lot more healthpacks plus I am stuck using IM40 with Thor all the time instead of variety. However, PVP has been much easier and I reached 900 for the first time last night.

Buy Classics until you get a 14th "decent cover" e.g top 10 character, max them don't worry about scaling. Repeat, keep a stash of 300k ISO so you never sell a "good" cover. If you dip too low, (ISO) hoard until you're ready to resume opening.

Rick OShay wrote: I'm in a very similar situation as the OP, so this thread has had useful advice already. With a PvE focus for T50, and a PvP goal of 575-800/900 depending greatly on which characters are boosted. Similarly, I have two 4*'s with 12 covers, and a handful with 11 and 10 each. I have all 5*'s except BSSM, each of which average 2 covers each, up to max levels of just 270. But, I decided to quit hoarding LT and CP over a month ago. I do maintain a minimum of 600K iso. The reason is simple, why wait? Getting a 5* to 13 covers to champ would kill my PvE difficulty scaling (from what I've read), and likely PvP as well. I don't want more of a challenge to make T50 in PvE, and the 5's I have now - i.e. Thanos at 3 black covers - already work well for many nodes. Continuing to build 4*'s seems better right now than waiting months when new characters continue to get released.To me, hoarding is meant for players that are already much higher in the 5* build. I want to build my 4* roster a bit faster than just earning through progression and the occasional Crash that I can win. I'm 6/8 in them lately, and had I not been pulling 4* covers there's no way I would have won as many. And there's been the occasional 4* dupe cover that I've had to sell (damn Ant-Man at 0/7/6). However, guess how many unusable covers you will get during your eventual hoard-pull? Tons. More than I'm getting now by now waiting? Probably, but remember I'm getting Usable 4* covers Now, more than if I was hoard-waiting. And when I spike a 5trange yellow, or finally an OML yellow, that will be very much worth the non-hoarding over the near term in my case. Maybe I'm wrong, so please explain the roster level that makes the most sense for hoarding CP and LT. Besides, hoarding is less entertaining, and this game should not feel like work. Well, it still does. But we love it.

Once you eventually champ 3-5 at once do you not fear that your scaling will jump to a point where you are forced to ONLY play these characters, and theoretically get less play-value from the game since your lower characters will now be useless in comparison? Maybe this is worth it to most of you?
