Not sure where to go with roster 2*-3*

johnnywutang

I've started to read up on proper roster building, but I feel I'm in the middle of a 2-3 transition, so would appreciate input on (roster attached). Thank you!

highlights:

x10 2* almost max'd
x30 3* champ: BP, Thor, IM40 @170, the rest 150-40
x8 4* @70
x1 5* Jean Grey

In rewards:
x2 4* Red Hulk
5* Black Widow
3* Cyclops

I'm thinking of grabbing all these rewards, I have room for 1 of them, and possibly unloading a few covers.

I assume I should let go a few of my 4*, but I assume i should hold onto some since I will get some covers for rewards from 3*? or am I looking too far ahead right now?

should I sell my max'd astonishing wolv and start over to farm 3* Patch covers? Is that what I should normally do until I max the 3*?

I've learned now I should hoard LT's until I have a roster ready to add 4*, so I'll stop opening those up.

You're doing great. Here's my advice (for whatever it's worth):

1. Keep every cover you can afford the slots for, including your 4-stars
2. Don't start recycling (farming) your 2-stars until you aren't relying on them to win matches
3. Don't put iso into your 4-stars until you have champed 3-stars. Try to soft-cap your 4-star levels in line with your 3-stars as long as possible, to keep your MMR and scaling as low as possible.
4. Don't put iso into your 5-stars... period.
5. Try to champ all the 3-stars
6. Hoard your LTs/CPs until you have a really nice collection of champed 3-stars and you're ready to make the jump to 4-stars
7. Don't be afraid to spend 20CP to get that 13th 3-star cover for someone you want to champ, especially if they're top-tier (IM40, Switch, Strange, etc)

Thank you so much, Dormammu!

I feel much better now, ha. I read a lot of stuff and was unsure about some things, but your advice really helps.

1. ok
2. ok good to know
3. ok this was starting to make sense to me after reading a few other forums. will do.
4. haha ok! should i try to add my 5* widow to my roster?
5. in progress!
6. ok this was news to me recently, so will be doing so from now on (I wish I would have posted a week ago before I opened my legendary!)
7. ok

any characters you guys suggest i drop in exchange for my recently found
Cyclops, 5*BW, Red Hulk?

Which color has the 5* Black Widow?

I'm not sure if I would add any 5* as long not few others are near level 255, I find the game already hard enough with my highest 3 characters (together divided through 3 ) at level ~157.

But I have not some of the good 3* characters champed as you have already. You should have not so much issues with the difficulty or not?

I think you will get from most players the suggestion to add her. But better wait until some more experienced players agree with adding her.


Personally I find it hard not to open the LT, but I think it is really better not to do it. I was lucky not to get a 5*.
Theoretically it should be no problem if the opening of the LT would be 5 days away from the last character in the queue, but in reality you can get every 3-4 days a 4* if you choose highest level in PVE, so some covers from the LT will very likely get lost.

Given that you have a Champed 3* Thor and a 525 Patch, I'd think you would probably be OK selling and farming their 2* counterparts - red Patch is the first cover award from 2* Wolverine champion levels for an added bonus.
If you have to sell, Red Hulk in for Wasp is a decent exchange (though ideally you want to keep them all). Then get the HP to add Cyclops, and Widow if you manage to rustle up more Hp. It's a harsh thing to sell a 5* but she will sit on our roster doing not much for a long time to come, particularly as you are taking the sensible hoard option.

Thank you guys again for the input. I think I'll have enough HP in the next week or so to add 2 more slots, which will make the choices easier, but most likely I'll do what CT1888 says. I hate to give up the 4 star, but I've actually had that wasp for about a year with no additional covers, so of course I'll get one as soon as I sell it!

Thanks again, all!

Yeah, I got Antman twice and sold him.

I'm sure we get many more sold in the future. Today I got 2* Storm on Level 144 and just got 2 other covers for her...
