I'll wager there are a lot more people that are in the opposite boat - Massive amounts of characters that aren't even close to being capped thanks to an ISO deficit. I just recently got all of my 4-stars soft capped, which lasted all of a week until I got another Hulk - Main Event cover to get him to 5/4/3. One more from progression will get him to 13 covers, so that's right back in the 4-star deficit. Meanwhile, my 5-star ISO deficit could probably wipe out all of that 2M ISO and still leave several of them saying "Please, sir. May I have some more?"

I'm close but also not close...
3s and 2s in full farm mode.
Champed Shuri and Valk last week. That just leaves Jubilee and the Duck in the 4* world. So pretty much "done" on the 4* level
5s - got only 6 champed, all 18 others at 255. So still 10 mill+ ISO from the post ISO world (~250 days with no more releases!) Realistically I aim to focus on getting to a point of being able to champ all latest 5s as they come and slowly whittle into classics. That will take some patience and time of course!

Yes, the sheer amount of ISO needed to be post ISO is so huge. I bet a new player who started playing hybrid hardcore today will still probably take about 3 years to be post ISO, along with some amount of buying included. That's a lot
DarthDeVo said: Some days I feel optimistic that it's right around the corner, relatively speaking. Other days, it feels like I'll be in the hamster wheel for another year. I've got 55 champed 4*s. Right now, I've got 14th covers for Punmax, Shuri, Kraven, and Chulk on my vine. Valkyrie is my only 4* with fewer than 10 covers, at eight. Unfortunately to keep pace with my 4*s, I've burned down much of my 2* farm, not really kept pace with champing my 3* dupes, and have basically ignored my 5*s. My ISO debt is still well into the millions. I'm hoping to be mostly over the 4* hill by the end of the summer or so. Hopefully caught up by the end of the year.

Daredevil217 said: 3* rechamping while keeping the originals is really setting me back. With such a huge 3* debt I’m nowhere near post iso and as I’m champing them the new 4* characters keep rolling in!
aesthetocyst said: Daredevil217 said: 3* rechamping while keeping the originals is really setting me back. Imagine that. I've posted many time that maxchamps are anchors that will hold you back.So don't hang onto them.Seriously, the biggest arguments for hanging onto 3*s are: 1) I'll be a target in pvp, and 2) but I need them for LRs!As for 1 ... there are 47 3s. Only 8 out of 12 pvps in a season cycle feature a 3*. Therefore it takes 6 season cycles (24weeks) to get through them all. How long does it take you to maxchamp a 3? 1 year? 2 at most? Let's say it does take 2yrs. You sell a maxchamp 3 today without bothering to dupe it first. Worst case scenaio, its pvp starts today. You have to use the loaner. That's a tinykitty pvp. Sucks. BUT, the next time that pvp rolls around, you'll have that 3* back to lvl 181. The next pvp it's featured in after that, 209. Then 237. Then, finally, 2yrs from now, maxchamped again. Presumably in 2yrs, maxchamping 3s will be must easier and faster for you anyway.And that was the worst case scenario, selling before duping, the pvp coming up immediately, and you taking 2yrs to remaxchamp. The reality is surely much less of a hiccup than that.As for 2 .... very few play LRs seriously, for those who do the 3* is drug aroudn like an achor in their own LRs anyway, and there are only a few 3s featured in LRs (like, 12? I can't remember off the top of my head), so this excuse only covers a quarter (or so...) of 3s. What's the excuse for not selling the others?Seriously, flip some 3s. Start with the tinykitty ones. You'll see it doesn't hurt. When you get in another iso pinch, sell another as needed.

CharlieCroker said: 3.3m iso with a fair chunk invested in 2* and 3* farms (recently acquired my first duo 266's having sold some previously to champ 5*s). Only Valkyrie and Jubilee unchamped in 4* tier and they're both soft capped.However all my 5*s are either champed or sitting at 255 and I'll be shortly unloading my 300 LT hoard and hope to cover the three Latest (and Goblin who's at 12/13 through his feeder) so that should account for the majority of my iso.Also have a couple more at 12/13 (BSSM and BW) so if they get their feeders maybe I won't be quite as much post iso in a few weeks time.
10 characters featured in Lightning rounds, 5 villains (Loki, Hood, Doom, Mystique, Ragnarok) and 5 heroes (Captain America, Iron Man, Daredevil, Punisher, Gamora). Out of, what, 47 threestars in all?
I did reroster all the threestars that got maxchamped, I am up to 41 rerostered threestars now. It was certainly tough at times to come up the HP for all the roster spots (got a few on discount in January and also farmed 3* Gambit when he had an increased sale price for HP), and it feels pretty dang good to not have any 3* covers dying on the vine any longer. Hawkguy will probably be the next one that needs to be rerostered (currently level 264) and then probably She-Hulk (263), once they are done it's just the new kids that need to be maxchamped.
I have noticed that my replacement Captain America (level 247) is almost as powerful as the maxchamped original, so I suppose I could get rid of the level 266 one if I was desperate for ISO, HP or a roster spot. I Think I am in a pretty good spot over all though.
