Champing Bl4de vs... A lot of other folks

(first post!) I have a Bl4de waiting on the vine but my current Bl4de is 5/5/1. Of course the waiting cover is the wrong color. I don't have a ton of resources, but I have 220K ISO and 520 CP. Do I spend 240 CP to get him fully covered, champ, and claim my bonus LT (I wish I were "post-ISO"... But alas, I am not.) - or -

Champ any one of my other fully covered 4* heroes and keep my CP for a rainy day?
1. Kate Bishop
2. Wasp
3. Agent Venom
4. Moon Knight (I have him on my mind as he's boosted, to give me a better chance at the Black Widow vs. event but I think that window is passing and I don't even have enough ISO to champ him before the event is over)
5. Nightcrawler
6. Devil Dinosaur (no, seriously)

- or - spend 120 CP to fully cover then champ one of these 12/13 heroes:
1. Luke C4ge
2. Bucky
3. Howard the Duck (no, seriously)

- or - spend 240 CP to fully cover then champ one of these 11/13 heroes:
1. Mr. Fantastic
2. Shuri (actually, good as Shuri is, I doubt anyone will recommend this as she's still a latest 4* and I'm likely to run into a ton of her covers in the near future)

Kinda impressed by how far I got my 4* roster! Most of the older ones not listed here are already champed. So if any of these guys are the centerpiece of a winning Shield team (C4rol, Bl4de, Medusa? Wasp with some other people?) then I guess that gives them priority.. Thanks!

    Basically you're suggesting the possibility of 9 Latest Legends pulls or 12 Classic Legends pull to get one LT and save one cover on your vine. Do the math.

    I'd champ one of these, first. They're ready and all very good.

    No. Cage is good, but not that good. I consider Winter Soldier to be one of the top 5 worst 4-stars. Howard is nothing but a trophy and is not going to help you in any way.

    Definitely not.

    If wasted dupe covers are an issue, and they often are for players transitioning to the 4-star tier, I would suggest hoarding your LTs and CPs until you have enough ISO in the bank to champ at least one 4-star before using them. Let some of your 4-stars grow organically from 3-star champ rewards and PvE progression rewards. Hang onto your HP for HfH deals - the game is good at offering you colors you need.

    Thanks. Actually, he came from a Heroic token, so that was a bit of a surprise. The unspecified variable in that equation is the opportunity cost of not having a champed Bl4de on board. He's pretty tough (but not impossible, obviously) to fight against, but your approach is telling me indirectly that he's not the absolute must-have on the roster just yet, at least not compared to 4 of my other already fully covered heroes. I just figured now is the 3rd best time to champ him (the 1st and 2nd when he has 13/13 and 12/13 covers, respectively, naturally), but you make a good point. Thanks for the advice.
