4* Roster, CP, and cover decision making

Killians8

Hey ya'll

I'm moving into the 4* transition with about 10 4*s rostered and finally at the place where each slot costs 1000 HP. Here are my quesitons:

1) How do you make decisions on when and how many covers (LTs, heroics, CP LTs) to open at one time and when do you stop short of blowing them all?

2) I have to decide in the future on rostering either a 2 blue cover Fury, 2 blue cover Bucky, or 1 cover Iceman. Ice seems the overwhelmingly better character and the other two debatably meh'ish based on my reading. Thoughts to share? I also have over 100 CP and will have more by the time I have to make that decision. Should I blow those open to help me make the decision? One concern is uncovering unrostered 5*s which I prioritize covering so I don't waste them.

3) Any other general resource management advice at this stage of the game.

I'm only 327 days in and making use of the scheduled Invisible Woman covers coming and will sell off Devil Dinosaur as he seems a total waste. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Cannot really make any suggestions as dont know the state of your roster

2* farm in constant rotation. Magneto currently not rostered with 10 covers waiting to be rerostered. (10 days til first expiration).

All 3*s rostered except Daredevil.

About 10 4*s rostered. Most covers in Ant Man and XForce Wolvy so no great strength in 4* land yet.

5*s: Only short of Jean Grey, Green Goblin, and the new Black Panther (as mentioned Hulk is about to be added in four days)

Just pulled a second Iceman of another color that seals the deal of that trio. Other questions still apply.

Basically keep the tokens (open standard and elite only) until you have 1k HP or you are close. In the current game getting 1k in 2 weeks is easy but you don't need the stress. When you have all the 2 and 3* added it's time to champion them.

Judging from your info (rostered 10 4*) you are not yet 4* players. You are 3* player who will soon start the transition to 4* land. And by transition I would understand that you are using the 4*. In order to do that they need 10 covers minimum (with 5 in the best skill). It takes time. The right approach long term is to champ all 3* while you slowly build up the covers for 4*. When you have all 3* champions (along with 2* farm) - most of the rewards can be used.

Let's assume all 3* are championed. I would start opening packs to add levels to the 2-3 champions and from time to time get the 4* cover. I would stop opening when you don't have HP to add a slot. You can open the Classics with CP but I would stash Legendary Tokens. The same rule applies - if you don't have hero points - don't open packs. You are getting extra rewards from PvP and PvE progression so take that into calculation as well.

When you have 2-4 good 4* at max covers or close - you can pour the iso in them and start the 4* game. For the time being ignore 5* as they need more covers and can screw you up (no need to sell the ones you have - just keep them at 255).

Thanks for the input Magic. Much appreciated and helps define how I'll try and go forward. I'm definitely a 3* player as my fours don't have the punch to be usable other than mixing them in at early PvE levels for fun since the other combos get boring.

When I get close to 1000 HP for the next slot, how many packs or CP packs would you open before stopping? I would stop on any unrostered 5*, but I'm unsure how many to do if I keep getting 4*s that I don't have rostered. Do you try and get multiple covers of one character to help you know which to prioritize though the others are likely going to get sold off or would you be way more conservative?

When you have enough for a roster slot, open tokens until you get someone new and stop. Repeat when you have another slot.

Magic

Exactly. You stop as soon as you don't have HP to add another cover. So the number is an open question.


Not sure it was mentioned (and you probably figured it out yourself) - you don't need more than one 1* hero (Juggs works well, but so does IronMan and SpiderMan) for DDQ. If you still have others - you would be fine selling them. This could open up some spots as well.

Thanks folks! I'll have to practice some will power to hold myself back. Only Spidey rostered as a 1* so I'm definitely bare bones. No Devil Dino, no Howard the Duck, no Bagman and I don't plan on rostering them since they're never in rotation and seem worthless otherwise.
