in MPQ Character Discussion

And not in an Aretha Franklin "find out what it means to me" way

Which (championed) characters do you find you wil respec based on the situation? For me its KK and R&G.

    @Anon is that if you want Doom to be a battery for black? I think I split the difference and run him at 4/4/5

    Sometimes I want a battery for his black. Other times (usually when he's boosted or I'm using Scarlet Witch) I want max damage from his purple. His Blue always stays at 5 for me, and I generally dislike having 4 in a color if I can help it.

    Strange. I usually want his Blue and Yellow at 5, but sometimes I really want his Purple to be able to clear Trap tiles.

    Peggy for shield Sim, Kate Bishop for sending teamups. Star Lord to 5 red and War Machine to 5 blue when they're boosted.

    Star lord to 5 red and purple to 3 when I pair him with ant man, otherwise if I have a stronger red or fewer countdown makers and am going against countdown or special tile makers I will move him to 5 purple and 3 red.

    I also have a high level (champed) prof x at 355 and a low level one and 553 for winfinite, though I use the combo less often now that they reduced the efficacy of switch.

    Antman- I kept him at 3/5/5 for a while but now I switch between 5/3/5, 5/4/4, 4/4/5, 4/5/4, just depending on how the last match went. I like his yellow, but with Hawkguy as a decent blue purple battery I might try 5/5/3, which I never have before.

    C4rol, against goons always 5/5/3, against toons 5/3/5

    Prof X, I switch up between 5/5/3 and 5/4/4 depending on if I am using another tile creator.

    Ant-Man - 5/4/4 or 5/5/3 depending on usefulness of tile steal

    C4rol - max green vs tile movers, max yellow vs goons

    X-23 - Max purple or 5/4/4 if she's full health, max red if she's going in banged up

    X-Force Deadpool - all over the place depending on who else I'm using

    I don't have many 4* champs, and I don't really respec my 3*s nearly as much as I could. 

    Cyclops and/or Hulkbuster if someone else has a better Red or is boosted.
    Kamala Khan 3/5/5 to 5/3/5 depending on how badly I need Green

    I used to spec SW 3/5/5 when teaming her with Deadpool (always going for whales). The gain to Hexbolt is decidedly meh but if there's not another green user then it's not a complete loss.

    I periodically switch Patch between 3/5/5 and 5/3/5, likely correlated to when Loki is boosted/required

    3* Sam Wilson from 5/5/3 to 4/4/5 when I want to use Bird Strike. It's just silliness with Wasp

    I'm going to do my best to remember this. That's very clever.

    IM40. Sometimes I need his red, sometimes I need his blue. There's a good bit of difference between 3 and 5 on each of those.

    3Cage. Sometimes I need his black, sometimes I need his yellow, but I always leave his red at 5.

    Kate Bishop. I waver between all three of her colors, depending on team composition.

    Electra. Black and Red. Sometimes I like her defense, other times I don't have a better red option on the team. I usually only use her against tile generators (which is quite often these days) so I like her purple at 5.

    Kate Bishop, Antman, Winter Soldier, Quake, Luke Cage, even Peggy sometimes if there’s a better Red user on hand.  Depends who’s boosted that week.

    Thanks all - some good suggestions there, unfortunately I dont have any 4*'s champed so no re-spec'ing there

    @jaedenkaal - ah yes I forgot 3* Falcon in my original post. Will have to try him with Wasp in the current PVE

    There's few I REGULARLY respec

    3* -

    Daredevil: 5 purple/ 3 red when paired with patch

    Iron Man: switch between 5 blue and red

    Rocket and Groot - depending on if they need to heal and who they're tanking for

    I only have 13 4* champs, of those:

    Wolverine - 5 yellow when he needs to heal or is paired with another green

    Starlord- Always 5 red but I fluctuate between 5 in the other colors

    Chulk- I know 5 green is ideal but I often use him solely as a tank/battery for better green users and drop green to 3.

    Hulkbuster - I'm limited in good blue users at the tier so often drop his best power (black) to three to avoid all the self-damage.

    In Blade PVP I respeced Carol to three in black because I kept using Blade's black.  He was creating multiple countdowns that went off every turn and buffed his strikes thanks to Carols passive and matches ended super quick. Used her other passive to fill black and do massive AOE damage. I know most people don't think of 3/5/5 as viable but in this case it was killer.

    Pretty much most but not necessarily very often but I'm that kind of player. There's a couple I don't (Jean Grey, 3* Cap America, Human Torch, KK, SW, GSBW, IM40) but most of the characters I like can really be changed up by respecing them.

    Wasp, 4* Cyc, Powerman, Reed Richards, IW, Spiderwoman, Starlord, are ones I probably respec the most.

    For 4-stars, Jean Grey gets switched (no pun intended!) to 5/5/3 if I'm fighting Scarlet Witch. Peggy is either a 3/5/5 or 5/3/5, depending on who else I have as a red user on the team. Hulkbuster is usually a 5/3/5, which is far enough away from the "generally accepted" 5/5/3 that I feel like I should mention it. :) Elektra gets switched between 3/5/5 and 5/5/3 depending on who she is facing. For 3-stars, Patch is either 3/5/5 or 5/3/5, depending on who he is matched with. Daredevil gets his red to 5 unless he's teamed with Patch or facing red-tile using goons (same as Elektra, really). IM40 is either 3/5/5 or 5/3/5 depending on who else he's teamed with...but recharge is ALWAYS a 5. Until he gets nerfed, anyway...

    Spider Woman...her Red is kind of Pricey, so if someone has a more AP Friendly Red I'll go 5/5/3
    Tend to roll with her at 3/5/5 because X-23 (also champed) tends to stand in front a lot and heals 1500+ with Green or Red matches

    still need a 3rd 4 Star Champ...leaning towards C4ge or Possibly even Agent Venom

    not sure on Peggy because Peggy would basically be tanking 3 Colors and X-23 only 1

    War Machine's powers are all much better at 5 covers and he uses 3 colors that are common among top-tier characters (red, blue, green) so I always adjust his build based on the team.
    Wasp is another one I will change around since her yellow is a lot more valuable with other strike/protect users, but blue's AP steal gets going earlier at 5 covers.
    More recently, I have started using 4* Cyclops as a battery at 3/5/5 instead of 5/3/5 if I have a better red user on the team (this was fairly devastating with boosted 4* Blade).
