Did you start a 1* Farm?

Ducky

Since the changes to how XP is gained have been around for a while I'm curious as to how many people actually went ahead and started farming 1*s for XP.

So did ya? I know I didn't!

I think without one, my XP would've slowed down even more than it already feels like it has

smkspy

I tried it for about a week and it was tiresome. Not worth the extra effort imo. I'm really enjoying 3 star farming though, and it really has made me look at rng for this game in a whole new light.

Started one but ploughed the field again, only rotating the characters with 3 color covers, selling the others for the ISO

Jarvind

Hells to the no. My SHIELD XP is about the same as it was before, if not a little faster even. I don't need to worry about constantly building and scrapping 1*s for a little tiny bit extra. I'll just keep selling them for the straight ISO.

LifeofAgony

Earning plenty of xp without spending HP to begin a 1* farm.  Think I’m up 4-5 levels already since the Cap came off.

STOPTHIS

Not quite a farm. Maybe like small herb garden. I already had Spidey and Iron Man rostered, so I just rostered Storm too and now just swap their covers as I get them. I still sell off Venom, Hawkeye, Juggs, BW, and Yelena covers as they come.

Too much micromanaging to do it any other way. Now, if we could champion 1*s....

If you're over Scl125, you get more iso/time by clicking sell all 1 and doing a single match of pvp.

Same here and will continue to do so until Lv125 when it becomes useless.

Used to gain a level every 8 days before, now it's more like 6 days, so it seems to work for me.

I don’t farm them but I keep an open slot for 1*s, a different one from my Juggs that I keep for DDQ. I don’t sell their covers right away and about every week to ten days I clear out the 1* slot then work through the covers rostering or selling depending on how many of each I have. 

Plowing ISO into them seems like a complete waste so I just try to generate some XP or ISO on a semi-periodic basis without having to overthink it. I’m trying to think of an analogy to compare what I do to farming but i’m Coming up blank. Poaching maybe, turn up periodically, take what you want and leave a trail of corpses. That one’s pretty weak too.

I had one slot for 1*s and just saved them untill 1 day left on the vine then just max covered and sold them one by one but i dont think its worth the time so now i just sell the 1*s as i get them as ive always done.

Magic

I started the farm. I cycle the covers on the 13-cover ones and bring the 10-cover ones to max and sell. I had to recently sell some max-championed 3* for iso so I just had a lot of slots to fill in. Without that my LvL would also stall like crazy - it has slowed downed a lot (might be perception) so the farm helps.

Quebbster

Right now, all my HP needs to go to roster slots for replacement Three-stars. Can't spare anything to reroster one-stars, and I Think the XP gain is low enough to not be Worth the extra work anyway. I feel like I level up at an adequate pace anyway.

Felessa

No, and probably never will, as I found the speed of my xp gain the same as before.

AlexxKats

I also did not. 

Reason being, it's an iso drain. It may look like it helps get iso faster, but it really doesn't. All it does is help you level your shield rank faster at the cost of iso. Which would be fine if i wanted to unlock scl9 for pve, but i was already at rank 125, soooo.... tap tap, sell all 1*s, confirm.

Many 1*s rostered to take up slots that used to be my max champ 3*s, which i needed to sell. And my 1* collection (full covers) from a couple of years back. And my 5x lvl2 mbw blue only for anyone that just needs a few extra turns

thisone

I did, but as new releases come out I'll end up using the slots. Had a bunch of HP after the last sale so invested it in shield rank futures

pheregas

It's not worth my time at Rank 132 to maintain a full farm.  Instead I just move around Storm, Iron Man, and Spider-man.

Pollozz

is simply not worth it unless u are a new player. Even the 100 iso u get by selling them is far more important than a little xp once u past rank 68.

Punisher5784

It is so awesome being able to champ 1*s! I champed 1* MBW, she gave me 2* OBW, which gave me 3* GSBW, which gave me a LT then I opened to a 5* with a BW BH!

Wait.. what? You can't champ 1* characters? Then **** are players champing 1*'s for some measly amount of XP?!

ThaRoadWarrior

No. It doesn't make sense where I'm at in the game, and I feel like it would never make sense for how i like playing. 

I have every 2* rostered (including bagman for the lols at 2/5/2), kind of skipped the 3* tier mostly because I wanted to maximize all my legendary token/cp pulls, so I only have 21 3*s with all but 2 champed, every 4* rostered (but only 6 champs), and all but 2 5*s on roster with most at 1 cover, a few at 2-3, and 5* Lord at 6. 

broll

Yes.  While I'd rather dups not have XP because it again breaks the whole point of trying to correlate SR to roster strength... I'm doing it for XP boost but hoping they reverse it.

I've been gradually adding slots as HP becomes available.  I went from just Jug & IM to:
L50 IM
L40 Jugg
L1 of each (including a dup of IM & Jugg)

I plan on adding 1 slot and making a Yelena dup so I can keep a fully filled out of her just cause she's 'Limited' (even though it's joke easy to get her vs every other Limited).

If they reverse the dup decision at some point what I would do is sell the IM, Jugg, and Yelena dups and us them for future releases, but keep the others rostered.  It was always on my longterm gameplan to have every character fully rostered and fully leveled.  So I'll keep one of each (though likely won't level them until the day comes where I have ISO spare...lol... like that will happen)
