Harvesting farmed 3* early?

Quebbster

So I may have overspent a bit on Shields last season, and since I need a lot of roster spots in the immediate future (Okoye, Iron Spider and the Dr 5trange I got from Resupply all need spots) I started thinking about if I could possibly sell off some of my maxchamped threestars with rerostered replacements at a high level (none of them maxchamped yet though). The candidates are:

Captain America (original, level 266):

HP 15402

Match damage 85/74/65/11/12/13

Yellow protect tiles at strength 342 (level 3)

Red damage 4965

Blue protect tile strength 420

Captain America (replacement, level 251):

HP 14535

Match damage 85/74/65/11/12/13

Yellow protect tiles at strength 333 (level 3)

Red damage 4820

Blue protect tile strength 409

Wolverine (original, level 266):

HP 10809

Match damage 65/74/13/12/85/11

Green deals 2568 damage

Red (level 3) deals 141 damage/tile, strike tiles of strength 214/107

Yellow heals 535 damage/turn

Wolverine (replacement, level 249):

HP 10120

Match damage 65/74/13/12/85/11

Green deals 2485 damage

Red (level 3) deals 137 damage/tile, strike tiles of strength 207/104

Yellow heals 518 damage/turn

Storm (original, level 266):

HP 12025

Match damage 74/12/11/13/85/65

Yellow (level 5) deals 270 damage/tile

Black (level 5) makes 32 attack tiles of strength 48

Storm (replacement, level 238):

HP 10769

Match damage 74/12/11/13/85/65

Yellow (level 5) deals 256 damage/tile

Black (level 5)makes 32 attack tiles of strength 46

Rocket and Groot (original, level 266):

HP 17204

Match damage 85/13/65/12/74/11

Yellow heals 1026 per tile

Green (level 3) deals 149 damage per tile

Blue places level 321 strike tiles

Rocket and Groot (replacement, level 232):

HP 14868

Match damage 85/13/65/12/74/11

Yellow heals 960 per tile

Green (level 3) deals 139 damage per tile

Blue places level 300 strike tiles

...I Think that's enough candidates. Looking at the numbers it is not a huge difference, but I suppose every Little bit helps.

Spontaneously, I Think it would be good to hang on to the maxed Captain America for now since he is used in Lightning rounds every now and then. Wolverine is probably my first candidate to be axed since he has been used in both PvP and PvE fairly recently unless I am mistaken. Storm could probably be axed on the same grounds. Grocket I will probably hang on to since they don't have a two-star feeder, so I am uncertain how fast the replacement will grow.

Any comments or advice?

I have quite a few unchamped 3s right now due to massive iso crunch champing 4s/5s. 

Having a high level dupe I believe is more a more a luxury than a necessity...my highest score last season was with a lvl 168 Doc Ock.

Heartbreaksoup

I agree, it's a luxury.  In your shoes, I'd plan to sell all the maxchamped ones one at a time, starting with the character whose replacement is highest leveled.

Quebbster

It is absolutely a luxury.

On the other hand I realized that when the replacement is fully leveled I will still need a roster spot for that character's replacement, so Selling them early just delays the problem (aside from getting the 500 HP a Little earlier). I don't Think I will sell them early after all, I will use my old standby of Selling two-stars early instead.

Magic

I had to sell a few the last time i've opend the hoard and I will most likely have to do it again in the next few weeks/months. The first I target the ones with 2* feeder. Also anybody that is not going to be instrumental in the PvP even when boosted. I would not sell if I don't have a dupe championed. 

DyingLegend

I've started selling 3stars once there dupe is fully covered.

3 stars dont really help me anymore as I'm neck deep in 4 star land. I don't play for placement, only progress , so hitting 900 isn't really a problem for me in PVP, and frankly as long as i can hit 575, I'm happy.

sell 3s, they are even less relevant with 4* pvp. the difference between a loaner and champ isn't that bad these days, never missed t5 because i sold the 3*.
