Yepyep said: @tdtmf you're absolutely more than ready to go if you can champ all (or even 4+) at once.I play both PvE and PvP. Just in the last month, rather inadvertantly, I made the transition after I champed one 5*; bc my soft cap was a little high, I was thrust into 5* land pretty much totally. I had only Okoye. I was......utterly boned (in an unpleasant way, sadly), especially in PvP. So I champed Kitty and took Thor to his max level (551, so no slouch). That helped immensely.I don't worry too much about placement, so top-50 or better is usually OK by me, though I try for top-25 in PvP. It can be a struggle to hit 900 but not all that bad.So, given that your focus is PvE, I'd say you're entirely golden. And then some! I wish I had your stable and the ISO to feed them!Best of luck! You're in a tremendously fun spot! 👊🏼
tdtmf said: I'd appreciate some input here. I have soft capped my 5* at 302 but have a 9 ready to champion. I enough Iso8 to do it but have held off so I don't increase the level of the competition. I only play PVE. Should I make the jump, and if I do, how much harder will the competition get?the 5*s ready to champion are thor, kitty, thanos, cap, doc oct, dr strange, Jessica jones, Okoye, wolverine. I also worry about making my 4* teams obsolete. Thoughts?

You have the meta PVP teams of Thorkoye, and Gritty available. You have the fun alternatives of throwing in JJ or Dr Strange. Your 4*-only teams would be obsolete apart from boost weeks, but during boost weeks they may well work well with one of your 5*.In PVE, nothing would stop you from playing at the SCL you are currently playing, using the 4* teams you currently use, and taking the same time you currently do, for your current level of prizes.But, you would have Gritty and Thanos, enough to compete strongly for top5/top10 finishes in scl9. What more do you think you would need?

You're in a tremendously fun spot! 👊🏼 Where was your softcap for your other 5*? Asking because I have Kitty champed and Hela covered but softcapped at 360. I don't really want to only see dual-champ 5* teams until I have some other options available (fingers crossed for Iceman and Prof X).Are you not able to reach 900 in PVP using Gritty alone? This is pretty straightforward for me in s1, starting 24-36 hours in to the event.

I've spent 5 years building a roster and remember reading many people say that they regretted making the jump to 5* level, though it has been awhile. I'd hate to ruin the fun of the game for me. I've got 12 or so 4* characters that I use on a regular basis and that I am comfortable with. Luckily, I've got many of the top 5*s so it sounds like the transition shouldn't be too bad. I just have to learn the dynamics of several new teams.

blankcanvas said: This is a really interesting thread. All the contributions are great. As a 4* player, my best 5* is kitty at 255 5/2/3 and I've not put any iso into my 5* tier as I've read a few posts about people then finding the 4* game obsolete and I wouldn't want to do that as I find the variety of abilities in 4* to be better than 5* imo.Can I ask you vets? If one were to transition into 5* game for PVE what is the point of the greater placement rewards as you'll then be earning 4* covers for characters that as a 5* player you'd never use? That would surely be a waste of iso champing those characters no? And doesn't this then point to the desperate need for CL10 to be opened up with 5* cover rewards to keep all you vets interested?
