Who should I recruit next?

Posts: 32 Just Dropped In
I currently have 8 covers in my 'recruit' section, but I'm still a few coins shy of unlocking a new recruit space. Once I get the coins, which one should I add to my roster?
Gambit (Modern)
Captain Marvel (Modern)
Storm (Mohawk)
Steve Rogers (Super Soldier)
Sam Wilson (Falcon)
Hawkeye (Hawkguy)
Juggernaut (Classic) **Note: I got rid of all my 1* covers, but was considering recruiting him for DDQ**
Steve Rogers (Captain America)
This is my current roster - https://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/pixie/
I'm just trying to decide who would be best to add, besides Juggernaut, to my roster next. Thoughts?

3-star Cap is is one of the best 3-stars, and since the 3-star tier is your next destination I guess I'd save him. Falcon's a great support character and I also like Hawkeye. If you need to make room you could sell your Squirrel Girl and your 4-star Venom.
A couple other pieces of advice:
1) I see you don't have IM40 on roster. Time to set him as your 3-star bonus hero and make champing him a priority. After that, do the same with Doc Strange and finish him up.
2) Stop putting ISO into your 5-stars, that's foolish. They may seem attractive to you but it's going to negatively affect your match-making in PvP. To be honest, they're just eating up roster slots that could be put to better use for you right now.0 -
How do you set someone up as a bonus hero? I've been playing since November, but I'm still learning how things work in the game.
The only 5 star I put any ISO-8 into was Thanos after I got another move for him. The other 2 have one move and haven't used any of my 600k+ ISO-8.
As for the recruiting, I actually was considering selling off Venom, since the move he has annoys me so much, and then I can replace him with Cap instead.

Do you play PvE or PvP more often? IF PvP, ditch your 5* and 4*. If not, keep them.. I see you have 6 2* and if you play PvE, it's not going to be favourable to you.
End of the day, you want to roster all your 2* (for farming HP, covers and CP) and 3*. Your focus would be rostering all your 2* (except bagman maybe) and 3*.0 -
What Dormmamu says above with regard to 5* is wise. I also think it is one of this games little traps for new players - only 5* can be levelled with a single cover, it is an obvious enticement when you don't realise the consequences.
I'm also wondering whether you might have been selling off your 3* champion rewards from your 2*? I couldn't see Patch, Thor, Widow, Magneto etc. The only reason I mention this is that these are nailed on 3* covers as your 2* progress (and get recycled) and you can build these characters faster because of this (plus some of them are very good like Patch and 3* Mags) and much less at the mercy of RNG. Having someone like Beast or Squirrel Girl is of less benefit than a character that has a definite 3 covers coming.

Okay, so I set my bonus heroes. Thanks for letting me know about that. I had no idea the heart did that. I'd just favorited characters I liked and thought would be cool to have. That's been taken care of now so IM40, Doctor Strange, and maybe one other character is favorited.
As for the 5* characters, I thought they started at 270, so I guess I did sink some ISO-8 into Gambit and Black Bolt. I don't remember it, but I don't pay much attention to the ISO-8, since I get so much of it and don't really think about what I'm using it for.
I do enjoy using Thanos, though, because of his high health and his "come and get me' move doing a lot of damage. I might just toss my 5* Gambit, as I rarely, if ever use him. I use Black Bolt mostly with lower level characters because he has that 'boost color' move that lets me hoard AP faster and use their moves faster.

As for Beast, I don't really use him all that much. Maybe I can sell him off and recruit someone else. Most of my current covers waiting for recruitment are 3* characters, like Mohawk Storm, Modern Capt. Marvel, and Hawkguy version of Hawkeye. I suppose it's time I add one of them to my team. Probably Hawkguy.

Please favourite only one character for each star level, unless I misunderstood it. You said you favourited IM40, Dr. Strange and one other character. The reason is if you favourite 3 of them at the same star level, you are still going to get bonus cover for only one of them. The probability is 1/3. If you set to only one favourite for each tier, you will get a guaranteed cover of that favourited character.0

I don't care much for Widow, but Thor and Magneto are pretty awesome. I'm guessing I should also have 3* Thor and Mag?
Widow is a sneaky good 2-star and the best support character at that tier. Her purple AP theft will accelerate anyone she is teamed with and her blue is good against countdown users or for a quick burst of healing.0 -

As for Widow, I like that she can steal and heal, but at the same time, it seems like whenever I use her, my board ends up with no purples or blues, or very few, and it takes ages to use her move. That's the only reason I don't care much for her. That's just a personal thing for me.

3* Cap or Hawkguy. Though if you go with Hawkguy, definitely roster 2* Hawkeye since he feeds covers to him. (FYI 2* Hawkeye/Storm/Mags is a killer team at your level)
Below is random advice that I wrote because I read your post wrong. I need coffee...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1* - Juggs, Spidey, or Iron Man. You only need one, so it's dealer's choice (though if you have animations on, it's whoever's animations appeal to you because you'll be seeing them over and over and over...)
2* - As other's have said roster them all since they all feed different 3*, and are part of the farming simulator that's built into the game. As for 2*Widow. In your tier, she's also one of your top two characters for dealing with goons (her and Cap). Her abilities also let her increase the duration of enemy countdowns, so it gives you a little wiggle room to get yourself out of a jam.
3* - you'll eventually roster them all, but if your spots are limited, concentrate on ones that are fed by 2*s (ie Wolverine, Cap, Mags, etc)
4*-5* - it's too big a jump for you to go into this tier without spending a lot of $$$. As others suggested, you might want to get rid of some of them. All except the top tier ones you have. By the time you reach this tier, all the ones you have will be vintage and harder to cover at that time.
General - save your CP/legendary tokens. Don't use them at all. Use your HP only for slots for now. Your ISO amount might sound like a lot, but the jump from 3* to 4* starts wiping out ISO pretty quickly.
At the end of the day, play how you want to. There's no "wrong" way as long as you're happy playing.0 -

Edit: And I see you rostered Patch! Good move, it may not seem like it now as his health is low but this will do you good in the future. Patch's healing factor is very good and will save you healthpacks, he also has a nice combination that can be done with Loki and he is absolutely great in Strange Sights against boss Kaecilius.

I'm probably going to recruit Juggernaut and max him out again since he's the best 1* character, I think.
I mostly use 2* Widow during DDQ, and she is kind of useful. I just get frustrated with her when there are no purples or blues to hoard and she becomes useless.
I might start selling off a few of my 4* characters to recruit the 3* ones I have and work on them first. I guess it depends on who I want to save and who can become expendable.

What a fun discussion!
I'm not as enamored with IM40 as Dormammu is, but I agree completely with him on 3-star Cap. His powers do require a lot of AP, but once you've built them up, he does a heck of a lot of damage on red, and unless the board is just cruel to you and you lose his countdown tile, you will be throwing that shield again very quickly, Cap is fantastic on wave nodes, where you've got time to use and reuse his shield.
I'm also not as enamored with Patch as DAZ is, but you'll find him very useful in the right circumstances. On most goon nodes - NOT symbiotes, though! - his unusual power that gives your enemies strike tiles will not factor into things. He self-heals better and more efficiently than 2* or 4* Wolverine. He's easier to keep leveling because the champed 2* Wolverine gives him covers, and, in turn, champed Patch gives you 4* Wolverine covers. (You'll be getting 4* Wolverine very soon if not already. Three of his covers are the daily SHIELD rewards for days 149 and up to 180.)
Finally, a contrary note on Bonus Heroes: Since you're beginning with 3*s, I agree completely that you should pick one favorite 3*. Every time you get a 3* from a Standard Token, you'll get that Bonus. 5% of your 3*s from Elite and Heroic will also give you that Bonus. You should pick your favorite, and you will see that character appear very frequently.
But with the 4* characters, actually, I'm quite happy with having eight or nine favorited. I do not currently have any 4*s champed - the closest I have come is Mockingbird, with ten covers - and so I'm perfectly pleased just to have the opportunity for any of these characters to get another cover. It's more important to me right now to have several 4* characters around level 78-106, with three or four covers apiece, than a whole mess of them with a single cover at level 70 and just Mockingbird champed.
If your goal is specifically something like "I want 4* Medusa champed as quickly as possible," then sure, favorite her and her alone. If you're still looking for just more 4*s, period, and a broader base of characters, don't spare the gold hearts!0 -

Also, on the subject of AP generation, Kamala if you want to build a team around green (her green AOE or Thor's), Switch if you want to build it around purple (her purple AOE or Deadpool's come to mind). Iron Fist if you want to run a team around black (Black Panther AOE, Fist high purple damage from having 12 black AP, etc).
It's all about synergy and what powers/characters you want to build around.0
