How much roster slots are enough

I'm just wondering what you guys and gals think on how much roster slots is enough as of current number of available characters. I have 36/36 right now and I'm thinking that this could be enough for me. Incoming new characters a few days from now would be Nick Fury and Sentry, and I still have bagman, hawkeye and bullseye in my 36 roster to throw away in place of incoming new characters. I'm considering to use the HPs I earn from now on for getting those elusive 3* covers to reach my goal of having a max 141. Although it's going to be a long wait at 1,250 HP per ability.

Anyways, please share your view on how many roster slots is enough considering the current, and probably the near future, meta.

  • Thing is, every now and then, they organise tournaments where "****" characters are used. Sometimes, these are buffed.

    So if you don't have them anymore the tournament will be harder for you.

    There have been people here saying they regretted to have "sold" their characters as they had to buy them again.

    Your choice.
  • Don't be afraid to throw away (some) characters. I have been without Dakan, Bullseye, Yelena, IM35, Bagman, C.Hawk for the past 4 months and haven't really missed them or needed them.
  • One for every 3* that is currently available (including Sentry) to unlock required PvE nodes = 20 (and rising)
    At least three 1* for lone star tournaments = 3 (I guess that's debatable. Keeping modern Storm is a must in any case, imo.)
    Maybe 3-5 2* to take advantage of the regular buffs. In fact, to eliminate the chance of being stuck in a limited roster event, I'd go so far as to say you need all of them, except Bullseye, Bag Man and Moonstone. Dunno about others but I can't find anything useful in these, even with a buff. I'd say Cap and Modern Hawkeye are up for debate for PvE events, so make that = 7-9

    Personally, I think 4* are a waste of space, but that's highly subjective.

    So as of today I'd put the minimum at 30-32. 35 if you like your 4*. Of course if the release schedule for new characters keeps up, that number will rise weekly.
  • I've got 3 one stars, all two stars, and almost all 3 stars. 1 stars for one star clash, 2 stars for buffed in PVE and occasionally PVE (also OBW is OP), 3 stars for PVP and PVE "required" missions. 4 stars because maybe they'll be buffed eventually?

    As of now, I have every character in the game, no duplicates, and that's 40 slots. We are expecting Fury and Sentry next, so make it 42. Who could I ditch and not suffer in the least?
    1) Yelena
    2) Yelena
    2) Bullseye - completely useless, a joke for DA tourneys even
    3) Bag-Man
    4) cHawkeye - he's good at what he does but he's not necessary in any way
    5) Venom - have not been finding use for him, not even comboing with Spidey for lvl 230+ enemies anymore
    6) Moonstone
    7) mHawkeye - when I had to use him, I did, but could do without him too
    8) X-Force
    9) Invisible Woman

    X-Force and IW are even more useless than cHawkeye but hey trophies.

    Have found use for Daken** in the DA tourney; Cap** is good at board control if you got no one better.
    One stars except mStorm (and her only) can be deleted at will, as you can literally rebuild a one star in half a day of intensive PvP play. mBW requires 1/5 or 2/5 builds anyway and no leveling at all, cHawkeye requires no leveling to be useful either.

    i agree that 4 stars are wayyyyy overrated, even a maxed out X-Force Wolvie has only 9300 HP which is less than hulk(but hey...it's hulk) and it's more of an intimidation factor really, unless you can constantly win the covers then there really is no point other than the trophy value. As for who you should sell, definitely yelena and bagman cause they're useless. Venom can go along with bagman cause of the spidey nerf basically takes away his only use(devour will be hard to get now) plus Jugs is the better tank anyways(i mean come on....2 red matches for 1100 damage?). i think probably 30-40 range would probably do you if you got every decent character in the game(i'm only missing bullseye. bagman, MHawkeye and all the one stars except for MStorm) and once i got to 35 it was more than enough for all the three stars that were in the pipeline, which is why i started doubling up on some covers.
