Once you get to this point, your roster should be able to handle the punishment I mentioned earlier.Spend every single hp you earn on roster slots for now. I still believe that having all characters (vaulted and non-vaulted) is the best way to go, but my thoughts on this could be wrong due to vaulting thingy.
talleman said: Im no pro but i recommend you to level Thanos and Dr Strange asap as they will make your PVE a lot easier. Dr stranges (passive) yellow will deal damage every time the enemy uses a power and the blue will stun them + damage. Thanos (passive) black will do heavy damage to the enemy team as fast as you down one of them. His green also deals damage to the whole enemy team. If you want to you can also use IM40 in this team as his yellow will get you the AP.
Calnexin said: I wouldn't hold off on champing 3*. The boost to a high-champ 2* will put it on par with a champ 3*, so that will determine your PvE scaling anyway. I would, however, recommend that you start with the more powerful ones. In no particular order, IM40, Thanos, Strange, Panther, and Iron Fist are what I'd consider top-tier. Get two or three of those champed first and then it doesn't really matter what order you go in. I just did it as the covers became available.Unfortunately, this will make you visible to stronger rosters in PvP. There's nothing you can do about that in the long run anyway, though. You can't stay in the shallow end forever. "Softcapping" was a great strategy but I think the benefits from champ rewards are too great to leave your characters at 120 (or whatever arbitrary point was considered optimal back then). If you can do that without losing covers it's a sound strategy for the time being but probably not enough difference in difficulty to give up champ levels.

jtsings said: I'm actually very torn now. Despite the fact that I said I would wait, I do have my 13th cover for Thanos, who from what I heard is the cream of the crop, according to many posts in the forums. I do have 1 cover that is going to expire in 5 days, what kind of awards can I expect for duplicate covers for 3*s, pretty much the same as 2*s?
MarkersMake said: So champ everyone you can, when you can! No point wasting covers anymore. If ISO is scarce, prioritize the better ones first, obviously. (if you want to wait until the new SCL system is fully implemented, that's ok too) Unfortunately for you, some of the better 3*s are now vaulted, so you effectively can't ever get them. 3* Cap you can get (and he's very good, if a bit slow), but 3* Magneto (who is absolutely killer and very fast) is not available to you. Likewise, Loki's cheap purple board shake can let you punch way above your weight in PVP when he's boosted, but he's vaulted too. C'est la vie.
