Spending CP on Medusa or Spiderwoman.

edited March 2017 in Roster and Level Help
I've got 2 Medusas waiting to expire and 3 Spider Women. Both characters are 12 covers. Medusa at 2/5/5 and Spider Woman at 5/2/5.

My roster is deep in 4* land, all the big guns champed (bobby, rhulk, peggy, cyke, JG). I am mostly PVE. I like fun characters more than pure power (I have no regrets champing KP, WM, FalCap. Love filling the board with WM attacks, or getting all KP countdowns off).

660 CP sitting around, just over 300K ISO to champ one 4* .

Do I:

1) Save, wait for a cover to come later and not spend the CP

2) spend cp on final Medusa?

3) spend Co on final spider woman?

    I would recommend saving. If you feel like you need to finish one, then I'd do Medusa.

    Medusa is scary opponent. I try to avoid her in PvP. Spider-W is a mystery for me - haven't played much against her or with her.

    That being said - what is the risk of wasted covers if you open some classics to get 13th cover? It might be a better investment then buying it straight up for 120.

    Of the pair I would probably go for Medusa if you are set to champion them now. If you already have 300k iso you might get close to championing both of them if you play hard till they cover expire (any chance you get the CL level? how is the 2* farm?).

    Interesting. I've got two 2* ready for sale in the farm (and the next 2* at L137), and 390K right now. I've got 6 and 8 days until the first SW and Medusa covers expire. With DDQ, TaT, I could probably manage the ISO.

    Of the covers in the current pool, I have the following maxed out covers: Coulson blueflag.png , Gwenpool purpleflag.png , Medusa redflag.pngpurpleflag.png , Riri redflag.png , Spider Woman blackflag.pngredflag.png , Venom yellowflag.png . So 8 out of 36 possible 4* pulls (22%) chance of pulling a useless cover. Hmm.

    I got really excited when I saw SW in my Thick as Thieves vault. But alas, it's her red cover leaving me stuck again. I thought about paying for reset on the vault, but pretty sure that another 4* could enter in her place and that seems pointless.

    Thank you both for the input. I'll hold out till the end and see what to do when forced on a decision. Also see who's limited vault is after Jean Grey, and maybe cash in my 4 classic token_legendary.png .

    I would start oppening lts. If you find another dupe stop
    If not continue and you have good chance obtaining one from those 2.
    Between the 2 of them i am reading medusa is vetter.
    I am using sw but she is bugged. Her red doesnt do what it says at the momment. But i think medusa have some issues too

    I semi followed this approach: Cashed in some CPs for fun.
    In order:
    Riri blueflag.png (not wasted)
    Medusa purpleflag.png (duplicate icon_cry.gif )
    --> Carol bonus! So softens the Medusa duplicate. One more for good measure then:
    Spider Woman redflag.png (duplicate duplicate icon_cry.gificon_cry.gif )

    So now I have 4 SW covers, and 3 Medusas waiting to expire. D'oh!

    Sell the 4 sw covers seperately (2+2 with apropriate leveling) and champ medusa

    Excellent idea. However, various other events led me to 2 more SW and 3 more Medusa. With the SW expiring, me not seeking 5*, and being a bit of completionist, I bit the bullet and spent the CP on SW, champed her up.

    Now I have 3 more days to pull a Medusa Yellow, otherwise I'll drop the rest of the CP on champing Medusa.

    I'd been hoarding 700-800 CP for months now, occasionally opening a token, but rarely doing anything. I've got the ISO, I've got the covers. Will champ as I can!
