So to preface this, I'm a 5* player (12 5* champs with Thor waiting on Iso,) so my HP income is quite good (well over what I need for new Roster Slots and shields,) and while I hit the occasional Iso drought, I've got some good reserves and can usually scrape by. So this is what I do:
1* - I keep around 3 1* for DDQ but don't bother rostering more for the exp - I don't think it's worth my time.
2* - the rewards for champing 2*s are well worth it - When one of my 2*s hit 139, I create a duplicate. I fully cover that duplicate, then advance the main to 144. If I get uneven covers (something past a 5,) I'll just apply it to the main. Once I get an extra cover past 144, I sell the main, champ the duplicate (with the 8k or so Iso shortfall, as noted above,) and start over. Yeah, it means I have to maintain a few more roster slots, but my HP can support that. I usually have around 3 2* dupes going at any one time. I have yet to actively waste 2* covers, though I have gotten the main to 144 with the dupe at something like 2/5/5 a few times. So far the right cover has come in before extra ones have expired, though.
3* - a very similar procedure - I start the dupe at 261, fully cover them, then advance the main to 266. 3* covers fall more evenly, I've never even come close to 266 with the dupe not fully covered. I don't sell the dupe, though. I figure it's worth the extra Iso and HP to keep another version of the character around for when they're featured in PVP. A 266 3* is much better than a 166, and PVP is all about the perception of strength. I'll sell a 3* main under the following circumstances:
- The main is noticeably past the halfway point of 216
- Their PVP has come up recently
- I really need the Iso
I've sold 4 so far, and they're all getting comfortably close to 251 again. If I ever get really strapped for Iso, though, I can tap into a reserve of 20 characters.
4* - hasn't happened yet, my highest 4* is just over 350. I'll probably do the same thing as the 3*s, though.
Vold said: So far I only recycle 2x *i try to collect as many covers as possible until my oldest one is about to expire then I sell the max champ and recruit a new one with all the covers I’ve gathered.i’m Curious why I keep reading people trying to conserve ISOs...personally i I got too much to even know what to do with them and everyone is maxed where possible.
