Should I dump Cap or Moonstone ** roster advice

Unknown
edited May 2014 in MPQ Tips and Guides
I've been reading the forums quietly for a while, figured I'd ask for some more specific advice. I'm a more casual f2p player. In terms of ambition - I'm not aiming to place #1 or even top 10 in anything. I usually place around top 100-200 in PvEs, top 10 or top 50 in the subs if they end in the (supposedly, but not really) Europe-friendly time zone, up to top 25 in PvP, again if the ending is in the right time zone and I use a shield, otherwise top 50 or 100. Essentially, I can expect some HP, a ** and occasionally one *** cover as reward. Since any *** progression is going to be very sporadic and much slower than say, by someone who's actively trying to build a *** roster... I expect to play in the ** field for a good long while. I'm also a completionist, so my final goal in the game is not so much to have a competitive roster, but a mostly complete roster (if ever the day comes I don't need HP for more roster slots for ***, I'll start collecting all the * and Hawkeyes and Bagmen I've been selling...)

Now, I got myself a Loki from the PvP reward yesterday and and Black Panther from a token pull. Unfortunately, I only have 200 HP, which is not enough for another roster slot. I will be able to raise enough for one slot within the 5 or so days left, but not enough for two. Also, I really want to get Loki before the current simulator subs end, so I can attempt a top 10 finish (for HP), which is impossible without being able to do the essential high-point nodes.

Now, I'm thinking of dumping either Cap or Moonstone, both at 8 covers, but low levels. If I intend to use my ** characters for a while, who's more likely to be more useful - not just in general play, but maybe in limited rosters for events? Whose covers will be easier to assemble again? (I suspect Cap - I already sold a partially covered one a couple months ago...)

Or is there someone else I can let go? The only ones of my line-up I've been neglecting are Wolvie, because I was unlucky with his covers and Daken.

My roster looks as follows:

**
Ares - lv 85 - 4/4/5
OBW - lv 85 - 3/5/5
C Strom - lv 85 - 5/5/3
MN Thor - lv 85 - 4/5/4 (waiting for respec cover)
MN Magneto - lv 77 - 5/2/5 (one day I'll get some purple covers...)
A. Wolverine - lv 38 - 2/2/5
Daken - lv 38 - 5/2
Moonstone - lv 16 - 1/3/4
Cap - lvl 16 - 2/4/2

***
Hulk - lv 38 - 3/0/1
Punisher lv 30 - 1/1/2
LThor - lv 28 - 0/2/1
The Hood - lvl 18 - 0/1/1
Spidey - lv 15 - 0/0/2
GSBW - lv 15 - 0/1/1
LCap - lv 15 - 0/0/1
Doom - lv 15 - 1/0
Falcon - lv 15 - 0/0/1
HT - lv 15 - 0/0/1
Cmags - lv 15 - 1/0/0
Patch - lv 15 - 0/1/0

I only have three one stars left and I want to keep them around.

Modern Storm -lv 50 - 5/5/3
IM 35 - lv 50 - 5/5/3
BW - lv 30 - 3/5 (on purpose)

    You have no need for mBW right now - you can rebuild her literally in half a week when there are LRs running (she doesn't need levels to be useful, only covers and 6-7 at that).
    Similarly your IM 35 is completely outclassed by 2*s.

    You can get rid of Moonstone and Cap** pretty safely, they are both buffed right now in the Sim but you have better characters anyway - Ares, MN Thor.
  • Yeah, I have been thinking of selling mBW, since I haven't used her in ages, ever since I got my OBW half-way covered. I only keep her and IM35 around in case of a lone-star tournament, but I'm not sure how common those are? I only saw one in the time I've been playing (I'm on day 57 now).

    In that case just sell Moonstone and Cap. As for one star tourneys, they happen quite irregularly so I wouldn't be worried too much about those.
  • I would say sell Moonstone. Cap isn't exactly great but he can be slightly useful sometimes. Moonstone can be useful in a girls only tournament but you're not gonna be spending that ISO to make her useful, as you already have a good girls team. Besides those are super rare
