Another "who should I level" thread (3 star transition)

Hi all!
I am in transition ** to ***
My ** roster is pretty complete, with 6 maxed out chars (only Thor needs some respec as he is 5/3/5)
I have 190k ISO and I'm wondering who to level...
C.Mags 3/2/2 (51/64)
Hulk 4/2/2 (22/77)
X.Wolvie 1/2/3 (30/91)
The others (Punisher, Doom, BP, IM40) are all at 5 or 6 covers, so no dice..

I understand a *** needs 90 lvl to be as effective as a maxed **, but levelling X.Wolvie seems a bit risky...any thoughts?
Thank you!

    Hang onto your ISO for now--no one of your 3* roster is strong enough to replace one of your existing 2* characters. X-Force is ****.

    That's a staggering amount of ISO and nowhere to really use it.

    I wouldn't really recommend putting that ISO in anything yet. Xfarce is horrible and raising the levels of Hulk/Cmags isn't going to make them more effective than your current 2 star characters.



    The devs really need to increase the odds of pulling some of the 'lesser' 3 star characters from tokens. Rags,GSBW,Doom,Loki, Spiderman etc. The transitional bottleneck is crazy.

    Hi all! thank you for the first round of replies and...yes, a staggering amount of iso that reflects the staggering amount of useless covers I was getting...
    Let's try with the new updated list...maybe,, just maybe...

    C.Mags lvl 102/114 - 3/3/3
    Hulk lvl 102/102 - 4/2/2 (not much to do here..)
    Punisher 89/114 - 4/3/2
    X-Wolvie 70/168 - 3/2/3
    IM40 lvl 40/140 - 3/4/4
    Doom lvl 52/91 - 1/5

    the rest of *** are all 4-5 covers each so pretty much useless by now...

    Iso available: 221k

    Thank you in advance!!!

    Still hold onto your iSO. Also, stay away from IM40, it's tempting but you'll kick yourself in the *** later if you waste juice on him.
    Best bets, if you can get the covers, are Punisher & CMags... but you're F2P, right?

    Free to play, aka not spending much money. Are you part of any alliance? If you're in a top 100 one, that cover per event you get will really help in the long run.

    then yes, I'm F2P.
    I am in an alliance, not top 100 though, but growing icon_e_smile.gif

    As a f2p myself, I am trying to bring the 3 stars that I might want to take to 166 someday to 110. Park them there until I get to 13 covers and then decide who goes up. At 110, they are stronger than a 2 star and give many more playing options. From that perspective, I would softcap Doom (5 black is vicious and pairs well with rgy tank) and bring Pun and Mags up to that 110 mark. This gives you more working teams, making top25 easier, but not messing up your scaling (I still see plenty of 94s).

    That said, if you plan to just make a Patch/Magneto or Sentry/Daken 166 team and ignore the rest, then save the iso until you have the covers.

    TBH, I think going for two heroes at once is the fastest way to transition to 3* territory. Instead of depending entirely on luck, I feel it's better to speed up your advance a little bit by buying those last covers you need, or the most effective covers i.e. maxing CMags' blue or Punisher's green etc.
    Another decent use of you ISO is to level all your 3* heroes up to, say, level 70-80, so they're useful when boosted during events.

    Alas, it's 5 blue and 1 black icon_e_sad.gif
    So levelling up C.Mags and Pun up to 110...shame my covers for Pun are all messed up (4 black, 3 green)
    Patch is only 3 covers, sentry 1 and i don't even have classic daken ..so, for now, no icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Just keep hoarding ISO as you build up 3* covers. It is a long road to getting the right 3* matched. I had 390k ISO and then bam I got my punisher covers. Once I got going I got a lot of 3* going and spent all my ISO. I now have Sentry at 153, BP 166, Pun 166 and Patch 153. I am building up my ISO again so I can bring up more 3* now. Once you get 10 covers or 4-5 covers in the right power go ahead and bring up your 3*.
