Do you have any covers for Gambit dying on the vine?
If you don't, there's no harm in waiting a Little while to take the plunge. I suspect Gambit will get a fourstar feeder (likely Rogue) once he is out of Latest Legends, so you may want to prepare for that and save up the ISO. Once you have a fivestar champion you will need to use it pretty much in every single PvP fight... but luckily Gambit makes most fights trivial, so you should be all right. In the right slice, getting to 900 with Gambit shouldn't be a problem at all.

My two other 5* options at this point are DD and Thor, neither who is a great pair with him but Thor is probably the better fit of the two (even though DD is probably the better character). My plan is to hoard again (once I get that 13th cover for Thor) and wait for another batch of 5* to enter LL (and probably wait for AA to leave as he looks fairly unimpressive). I will also focus getting Black Bolt covers at all costs, through HfH purchases if offered, bonus heroes, and Medusa champ level as he is my ideal match for 5* Gambit. Curious: How is Daredevil probably better than Thor?I love Thor (my only 5* champ). However I will prooooobably be able to complete and champ Daredevil sometime soonish. But the more I read his skills, the less impressive he seems.

Daredevil and Thor are a bit alike in that they don't really get going until they are at half Health, when Thor starts gathering AP and Daredevil starts spitting out strike tiles and heal. DD is more of a "thousand Cuts" guy that slowly grinds the enemy down (Sonar Strike lets him double dip on his strike tiles when he hits a stunned enemy...) while Thor goes for the big bang, ending the match fast that way.
Thor is the fast option, but DD has a lot more endurance since he self-heals. And DD isn't exactly slow paired with Gamora...

I've been thinking about making the dive into 5* land but wanted to finish my 4*s first (5 older ones plus 5 latest). I still plan to do that but I really want to play with Gambit. However the rest of my 5*s are pretty under-covered. Should I champ Gambit and continue with 4s? Soft cap some 5s? I'm mainly PVE, and play PVP to 900. I just want to be able to use Gambit without spending more time on PVP than I already do. But I do want to start preparing to make the full jump to 5*s, I just want to be smart about it.Here's my roster...let me know what you think....thanks all!https://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/l_butler36/
