Any Info on Console?

I got impatient waiting for a new PvE after Gauntlet, so went out and purchased the console MPQ: Dark Reign on Xbox One. Is there any detailed information on the game available anywhere? I can tell some of the mechanics are a little different than what I'm used to on mobile.

The console character page in the wiki mentions that these only link to the mobile versions of the guys. I've also noticed that one of the achievements is to get 15 covers on a character, so that part is obviously a little different.

Started with some base, 1-covered 1* and 2* characters (mobile terminology) along with Punisher, Thor Goddess, Doc Oct, and maybe someone else, but they were all "level 1" it seems like there isn't the same 1*, 2*, etc. qualifications on the characters.

I'm sure I'll figure it out as I go, but curious how some of the mechanics are different and searching didn't immediately find any answers. While playing through the first part of the prologue, I would randomly earn extra covers. Mostly on the few characters I was playing that leveled up (not through ISO-8, but through experience earned on the missions as long as they lived), but I did also get some extra covers on players I hadn't played with. Not sure how that works.

Update: Still figuring things out. I noticed all of the characters I have say their max level is 300, so that leads me to think the characters are more or less of the same power potential. Time will tell. With scaling, curious to see the power difference in characters I'm familiar with as 2* Thor vs. 3* Thor or Steve Rogers. Will both variants be closer to the same damage or will one scale higher than the other? Maybe I can pay some attention to the Balance of Power event matchups to see who could potentially pair well in the game.

I'm assuming these will be post-nerf on X-Force Wolvie and Thorress, but pre-boost Invisible Woman. With only 54 characters available, it is interesting trying to determine the best matchups. No Switch, Cage, Prof X, or nearly any of the 4* characters. Only ones I see listed are Devil Dino, Invisible Woman, Nick Fury, Thor Goddess, and X-Force Wolverine. Plus, there's an Iron Patriot character that is a console exclusive? Really wish there was a basics guide so I could understand it a little better. Maybe I'll put something together as I play it out and get more familiar with it.
