Champ Nova or 330 OML?

My Roster

So here's my dilemma. I've been building up my roster and I'm currently sitting on 20 or so champed 4*s, including most of the best. I just pulled my 13th Nova cover and I've heard good things about him. However the gods of RNG have finally smiled on me and I've started getting covers for my 5*s, enough now that a few are able to hit 330. Last I heard that's the soft cap to bring them up to without dorking my scaling, but it's been a while since I last checked so I don't know if that's changed.

My question is, which is a wiser investment at my point in the game? Bringing my 3/1/1 OML up to 330 (will be getting his 5th cover in the daily drop tomorrow) or Champ my Nova? I also have a 1/1/4 Surfer, but I haven't heard good things about him, and a 2/2/1 Goblin, but I don't want to enter 5* land with a support. Back in 4*s I've also got Fury, Falcap, Thing, and Bucky covered. The ones I really want (Peggy, X23, Moon, and Medusa) are all at least 2 covers away.

So, opinions? Work on OML? Champ Nova? Sit on my ISO until I pull 2 more Peggies or a cover for any of my 5 fully covered? Go back and rechamp some 2*s?

    I really like Nova, he's fun & has cheap powers.

    I believe the consensus is now 360 for 5*s, especially for someone with so many 4* champs.

    I have a 3/1/2 OML @ 320 that I never really use. The increased match damage is not really enough to compensate for the lack of strong abilities that your boosted 4*s have. You won't use him in pvp, and won't use him in harder pve matches either. Basically he's good for trivial nodes and seed teams and maybe as a 3rd in shield sim.

    I would champ Nova, then throw some iso into OML. Nova will either be boosted next week or the one after and you'll see then that it was worth it. (Btw, I started out 5/3/5, but switched to 3/5/5. Both are good, but I really like the stronger yellow.)

    Nova, definitely. There will be time for OML later when you have more covers. With only a single yellow cover he's fairly easy to kill.

    Nova - he is great. I have 20 4* championed and Nova is part of my daily DDQ and Simulator team (no 5* worth mentioning). I use him at 5-5-3. The black is just to get the Red going if I can't fire the Yellow before. I am not relying on Black as it's not boosted with Star-lord or IM40.

    Why is that important? Well with Star-Lord yellow tile in his Red costs 4 and renders an enemy useless for 2 turns with ~4k damage when they return. It's great in PvE and Simulator.

    Definitely go with Nova first and then level up OML to tank for Nova.
