Should I Ditch IM35 for a **Cap?

Unknown
edited May 2014 in MPQ Tips and Guides
Well just like the title says, I'm strapped for space and am considering ditching IM35 since I hardly use him anymore in favor of a **CAP due to him being featured as a boosted Character in so many of the recent events?

This a good idea?
THis a Bad Idea?

Looking to benefit form the advice of more experienced players as I just got this for my phone recently and am starting to make some real headway with in 2 months in.

  • A lot of this game is about team composition, so I think the more important question is what team are you building?

    Also, it's important to appreciate that resources are limited in this game (ISO). So, while I would take a level 85 Captain America over a Level 50 IM35 everyday, I wouldn't spend that much ISO on Captain America if I had the chance of getting better covers in the next few weeks. That ISO would be much better served on building an OBW, Thor or Ares.
  • Yeah. Knowing your team composition would help us help you more.

    Although not often, there is a PVP tournament which requires 1*s only. If I were you, I'd make sure I have 3 max 1*s for this purpose.

    I have like 5 **Cap America covers ATM just sitting. Basically not sure if I should ditch a under developing character for him.
    I said IM35becaus I get a TON of his covers from Tokens and now since they throw us some random * and ** cover in the PvP events now(or is just the season1 stuff?)
  • @Storm or **Thor depending on the situation. I am finding the Wolvy/OBW setup to be a kind double edged sword. I can clear nodes in the beginning of events but I seem to receive one hell of a penalty. Seems Healing Skills are punished from what I understand from reading around here.......damn...

    I tend to open a Character Slot or two every week or two. Funds permitting. So really any kind of Roster/Team advice is helpull to me at this point.

    Personally i wouldn't sell im35. I used mine well into my 2* and part of my 3* transition. I'd sooner spend a couple $$$ and buy another roster slot. But.....thats just me.
  • Even without buffs, m.Storm and OBW are strictly better choices over buffed Cap imo.

    Even though the same could be said for IM35, you've already invested in him and he holds value if another 1-star tourney pops up.
  • Don't sell IM35 until you have a strong 2* character base. Meaning at least 3 maxed lvl85 2*'s. Buy more roster slots if you get covers you don't want to part with. Vast roster diversity is a very handy thing in this game.
  • In fact, that 2* wolvie you have at 42 and your Thor are going to be better than either your IM35 or your 2* cap, but I would sell anything you have - just get more roster spots. Also, I would stop spreading your ISO around to all those useless partially covered 3*s until you had at least a couple maxed 2*s, and right now you dont even have your IM35 at max yet, let alone any 2*s.

    You are at a **** and difficult transitional stage where you are getting a lot of new covers you will want to keep, but havent built up enough roster space to hold the all. Try to work on your roster space - IMO, all your HP should go into that until you have 35 or so, maybe more. Different covers get boosted all the time, and you will never be upset at having too many options when building a team icon_e_smile.gif

    Make sure you have all the HP from the prologue, and if you REALLY cant get enough HP for that extra roster space before the covers are giong to expire, sell them on the last day before expiration - cap 2* is very situational at best and you will get more covers for him than you know what to do with. No point in wasting all the Iso you used to build that IM35 to that point for another character that you wont really use that much.
  • After all the input I will be keeping IM35 and just hold off till Friday(I got the time for it) to get a few more roster slots on Friday. thanks folks.
  • Looks like you decided already, but I'll chime in too. I sold a level 50 1* Iron Man and lived to regret it. MStorm too. I was not able to do 1 star tourneys at all, and there's been some limited roster events I'd have used him in if I had him.
