Did you start a 1* Farm?

Yes and no. Most 1*s have 2 colours only which makes farming not worth it.
I have some 1*s who have 3 colours and i am getting xps by swaping their colors, but still i have to sometimes sell colours i cant use.

why is there a difference between 2 colors or 3 colors 1** ?
isnt the only benefit coming from the fact that the xp from adding a cover is worth more than the iso from selling it ?

is there any additional trick behind that ? (for exemple, there  is no point leveling them like a 2**, it is a waste, isn't it ?)

is there a special interest in swapping the colors of a full 1** ?
adding all the covers I have at once then deleting it, and repeat next time seems much faster ...

Not really, it's mostly a question of convenience.

For a 2 color character you cover them to 5/5 sell and reroster.
For a 3 color character you can keep the character and just keep swapping covers (5/4/4 to 4/5/4)

In the end you can only trade 9/10 covers for xp for the 2 color characters (the first one you'll sell for 100 when cycling), while with the 3 color ones, you can swap all but the first one.

No, I didn't.

I'm sitting on 1.6 million ISO and the damn thing keeps on piling up.
The last thing I need is more roster management.

If you have nothing to burn iso on, it sounds like you have too little roster management to do

Yeah I earn purple stuff faster than I get covers for my dupes.
Feeders for my dead classic 5s will take care of about 650K, but who knows when they roll out the next batch.

Too much effort - and I think it's clear that's not how XP is meant to be gained.

But... I do recycle my 2* and 3*... so I'm still "breaking the mould".

Well, kind of.  I started a bizarre kind of farming where I only use 2 covers of a character at a time and immediately sell it off.  The math in my mind might be off but it ends up me getting a 50/50 of the first cover being what's sold (the 100 iso) and the second cover giving the 10 EXP.  It's probably not worth it but hey, makes the SHIELD rank go up a little faster.

Here's the math for 1* farming:

=((10*62500/5050)*9+100)/10

62500 being the ISO for a level up, 5050 is the XP to do that. 

Effectively it's each 10 cover 1* (the 2 color model) worth 1214 ISO vs 1000 ISO for just selling 10 times.  First cover sells for 100 ISO when you sell the char, further covers at a higher level.  The best part is that you're always getting the value, can sell anytime for what you've earned and re-use the slot.

If we farm 1* then what will the "Sell all" button get used for?
