4* covers dying on the vine. Need advice!

kyo28

Here's my situation: I've got several 4* covers dying on the vine and I need some advice on what to do and which character(s) to favourite. Here's the current situation:

1. Peggy Carter: 5/1/4 (10) Red is maxed and I have 2 reds dying on the vine: 5 days and 8 days left
2. Rulk: 2/5/2 (9) Green is maxed and I have 1 green dying on the vine: 13 days left
3. Medusa: 4/5/2 (11) one red dying on the vine: 8 days left
4. Gwenpool: 5/5/3 (13) fully covered and 'champable': 1 black cover dying on the vine: 11 days left

Stats: about 30 CP and 0 LT's saved up, 2.000 HP and 390.000 ISO.

So I'm going to have to sell some covers off. I can champ Gwenpool right away and add her black cover but she's at the bottom of my want list. Realistically speaking, I need to give up on Rulk and Peggy because there is no way in hell I can get them fully covered before the covers expire, so I plan to sell of the Rulk cover, start a second Peggy and add the two red covers, maybe build to 82 and sell off to get extra ISO.

That leaves Medusa ... she's at 11 covers so if I could get two more covers (of the right colour) for her, I could champ her over Gwenpool but it might be hard to get those covers: I'll never be able to buy them in time with CP and otherwise if I pull classic LT's, I'll need to rely heavily on RNGesus.

So what should I do?

• Still try to get Medusa over Gwenpool?
• Roster a second Peggy and for now keep the two red covers? Or sell off for ISO?

I'm really lost now so any help would be appreciated!

It would help to know what your roster looks like. Specifically where your 4*s are, and how many other 4* champs you have. Gwenpool is fun to play, but I don't know that you want her setting your mmr/scaling if she is your only 4*champ or highest leveled character. 

That being said, if i was in your situation, i would stop pulling legendaries and hoard them, cp and iso until i champed whomever I had covers for. Gwenpool is the lowest hanging fruit on your list.

Once a character is champed, I look at 12 cover characters and determine if any are worth 120 cp for that last cover. Peggy is, but, you will not have the 360 cp needed in 5 days to champ her. If I dont have any worth spending cp on, you can save iso to level characters close enough to champ, within 14 day window on cover expirations. That depends on your daily iso earnings. If you have enough iso, you can open legendary tokens until you get another character to champ. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Currentely I have 4 4*s champed. Here's what level they are at:

• Thoress 276
• Luke Cage 273
• Invisible Woman 272
• Ant-Man 271

I could potentially see Gwenpool work with Luke Cage as she has all different colours than him and her black creates 3 protect tiles, which LC can fortify with his yellow. But still, pretty low hanging fruit indeed

I would just champ gwenpool since she is far closer than the others.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards that. Champ Gwenpool, roster my double Peggy with 2 reds (I have a spare roster slot anyway) and finally sell the Medusa cover. Then it's time for me to hoard all the CP and LT's until I have a decent amount and can pull enough in succession ... although I hope I can do that before Medusa leaves the latest pool.

Medusa and Gwenpool are not vaulted. You will still be able to get more covers over the next month or so depending when they fall out of the rotation. Peggy and Rulk are top tier 4*s that you might want to champ because their covers won't be as easy to get. 

Either way, all 4 are really strong. Gwenpool doesn't get enough love, but who has mastered all of her codes?

Tough call throwing away two of the top three 4*s in my opinion. hard call. If it were me, I'd throw Gwen and focus on medusa

It just got worse! I now have an unusable 4* Carol Danvers, pulled from the PVE vault. The situation now is:

1. Peggy Carter: 5/1/4 (10) Red is maxed and I have 2 reds dying on the vine: 2 days and 5 days left
2. Rulk: 2/5/2 (9) Green is maxed and I have 1 green dying on the vine: 9 days left
3. Medusa: 4/5/2 (11) one red dying on the vine: 5 days left
4. Gwenpool: 5/5/3 (13) fully covered and 'champable': 1 black cover dying on the vine: 8 days left
5. Carol Danvers: 2/5/2 (9) : 1 yellow cover dying on the vine: 13 days left

This is insane! Peggy, Rulk, Medusa, Carol are all top tier characters in my book and I have at least one cover of each dying on the vine. Gwenpool is champable but very, very low priority on my list.

Currently hoarding LT's and CP. Got about 63 CP and 1 LT stored.

Sigh, I think I'll wait it out a bit. This PVE event I'll get an additional Carol covers, bringing her to 10 cover total and there is one in the DDQ vault as well (if I'm extremely lucky). If time runs out, I guess I have not choice but to champ Gwenpool and then continue hoarding. Or I go for it and blow all my CP and LT before the Medusa cover expires, hoping to get enough of her covers to champ her ... though call indeed!

Still, champ Gwenpool and move on. It takes an avg of 10 days to earn enough ISO to champ a 4*. Give or take depending on SI and SCL rank.

I would BH Medusa and see if you can get the covers in time to champ her. If you can't, since Gwen's cover will still be on the vine, just go ahead and champ her. After that you can refocus on what to do next depending on your cover situation at that time.

Sound advice, that's indeed what I've done. BH Medusa and before her cover expires, I'll use up my CP and LT's. If I still can't champ her with that, I'll sell the Medusa cover and champ Gwenpool. After that, it's hoarding time!
