Use ISO or keep saving?

cooperbigdaddy

So I recently opened over 550 tokens (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=59337 for details) and I added some covers to my 4*s. But should I put any ISO in some characters or just keep saving it for when I someday get enough covers to max and champion someone? I currently don't have any 4*s really close to maxing, so it would just be to level up for PVE/PVP use.

Look at my roster in the signature and let me know, please. Thanks!

EDIT: I should also note that I am currently at 1.75million ISO

You can soft cap the better 4* at 172. After that the ISO cost skyrockets so this way you can get some up and some what useful. Once you get 13 covers you are that much closer to champing them.

That is my plan in any case. I just recently finished champing all 3* so I am trying to save up for when I get my 4* in a good place.

I have heard that 2 million ISO is a sandbox trigger. That being said, I think it depends what 4 star you are dumping ISO into. Iceman, Peggy, Rulk go for it. Anyone else. I'd save your ISO. Or level them to beat their crash. I find 140 makes it easier. That's some serious will power you have.

I glanced briefly at your roster and it looks like most of your 4*s are in the 4-7 cover range which means they mostly won't be useful. It might not be a bad idea to level up the ones that can beat their Crash at low covers a bit - Professor X, for example, can beat his with 1 purple cover if you're patient and a little lucky. For the most part, though, I'd focus on racking up 3* champ levels and getting a solid 2* farm going if you haven't already.

You're also not really at a stage where hoarding makes sense, so you may as well just open tokens as you get them and cross your fingers for more 4s. With the levels your 3s will boost to, 5*s won't really hurt your scaling so long as you don't put any ISO into them.

I also agree that hoarding is not your best move right now. If you had all 3*s champed and 20+ 4* champs, then hoard away for a 5* blowout. But for now, I would suggest the following plan of action: I've created a 4* champing assembly line with my roster, this is how it works:

I level up my 4*s to a certain tier level based on their max level. The level tiers are 150, 200, 240, 270. For example, if a character's max level is 168, then I'll level them up to 150, and they stay at 150 until I get more covers which brings their max level to 209, at which point I level them up to 200, which takes about 80K ISO. As I get more covers, their max level eventually goes up to 250, at which point I level them up to 240, which takes 125K ISO. Then when I get that final 13th cover, I spend another 125K ISO to level them up to 270.

If a character's max level is below 150, then I just level them up to their max. So, when I get new 4* covers, I apply them and check their max level, if that level goes into the next tier, then I level them up, which usually takes 3 to 6 days because I don't hoard ISO (but I always have a minimum 200K ISO for champing emergencies). The main reason I do this is to minimize the ISO cost to champ a character when I get their 13th cover, plus they are that much stronger for PVE and Crash of the Titans (and I have a sense of daily progress in the game).

What does this mean?

Save! I don't use ISO until I'm ready to champion someone. Or if it's to win a DDQ 4* crash. Or I have a weak 2* character due to 2* champion farming, and that character is the required for pve.
