    Fair enough. Who knows what will pop up during anniversary!

    So that is now Deadpool and Ghost Rider champed so I am back to looking at my options for Classics:

    Cap (FA) is nearest to spitting out a cover with 438 shards but he is only at 4/2/2 so a way to go.

    I think it is gonna be between:

    Banner - 11 covers
    Cap Marvel - 11
    DD - 11
    Spidey (PP) - 11
    Onslaught - 11
    Rescue - 11

    I guess DD?

    Onslaught and Banner (and DD) are now all done but need iso to champ. So I need a new project - the 11 covers are Rescue? Cap Marvel? Doc Ock? Magneto or Spidey? Nothing stands out too much.

    Or I could start on one of my 10 cover 5*. Hela, Killmonger, Gambit, Hawkeye, Doom, Knull, Widow.

    Hmm.

    They don't necessarily need to be champed to do these things but Hawkeye features in a few fun teams, Cap Marvel has a winfinite with Mr -ve & Polaris, and Magneto can help sort out some Puzzle Gauntlet nodes.

    Killmonger is good when boosted.

    Champing 'em all is the goal so they will get champed but as Iso is super scarce right now I have no idea when (I have 4 others to champ before them).

    Yeah Hawkeye is tempting although my Deathlok works very nicely in my Kang/IM40 team as is but having a second 5* would be no bad thing. Not really desperate for a Cap Marvel winfinite or a Cap Marvel anything. Killmonger is the other one I have my eye on as he seems pretty potent when boosted. However Rescue is closest to champ but she also seems a bit useless. Magneto - I dunno, I really haven't used him much and am not really clear if his re-work is actually working or broken? It sort of feels like Magneto should work with Vulture somehow but probably not. I wish Doom was better than he is - it doesn't seem right not to have an alpha class Doctor Doom.

    Ha, and just like that today's resupply was a yellow Doom cover!!! So now he joins the 11 cover rank brigade!

    It's possible Magneto's red doesn't destroy tiles correctly (I can't confirm either way) but his blue (7AP to remove two colours with possible AP gain) is quite strong and does work.

    I'll mess about in DDQ and try him.

    I love Bonus shards! So thanks to them Rescue is now done in time for later today (probably can't champ her though without an infusion of iso). I also bagged a Doc Ock cover from Vulture's store which means he is now on 12 covers and has moved into prime fully cover position. That store is hurting me though as I also need PP:SM covers and I am spending far too much on it.

    Good news - I pulled a Parker! Bad news - it is blue. How many other Parker stores will there be though? I feel like I can't miss this opportunity but...it is burning through CP. Maybe just a few more...

  • DAZ0273

    My final pull was a Mysterio! As good a clue as any to stop now, more Parker is just an illusion!

    My Oscorp Spidey has plenty of shards in him so that will be the way to go.

    Yikes - that is now 5 Classic 5* to champ though (I guess Jeff counts although he is only just Classic). Anybody who says it is impossible to catch up on these guys I can assure you that is not the case. I didn't start from a strong base on any of these guys who except Jeff are years old - Rescue got helped out during Covid-19 with the free shards but the rest have just been accumulated over time. I haven't skipped any Latest either since I have been able to keep up with them but that may change for the Dinosaur. I just don't feel him and with Gwenom already champed I think I can be happy enough to wait him out.

    Hmm...1.76 million iso needed to champed all 5 which is not as bad as I feared. I wonder if Deadpool ever found any more Iso and he can tell me where to look?

    Agree. Didn't think it would be doable but once you get into the swing of it the covers do rack up.

    I'm now only short on four:
    Ghost Rider (534 151 shards)
    Moon Knight (434 55 shards)
    Odin (523 120 shards)
    Vulture (122 365 shards)

    Retro feeders and those blank shards in the vaults help immensely, those are fairly recent developments.

    Sweet! I was surprised but I have really racked up the Classics this past year, most from not very much.

    Those blank shards are awesome. It helped with Banner shards in the Gamma thingy vault too which enabled me to finish Banner & Onslaught. And the new Bonus shards are the real deal.

    Still free-to-play so hard to judge the speed of progress against others who've splashed out on HP's, CP's, shards and covers. Nevertheless, happy to have finally got my last 3* last night. A good time to update (day 179)

    Currently at 72 roster slots
    5's: 6 to date (Gamora, Apoc, Shang Chi all two covers. Kingpin, Ronan & Ultron with 1). 
    4's: 5 rostered with Ikaris champed (been in a lot of events so got the covers and shards to champ him quite easily). 
    3
    s: All 47 rostered - 38 champed
    2s: 13/14 farming. Still only Bagman not rostered
    1
    s: Just Spiderman for DDQ

    Next step is to start building my 4 and 5 collection to help with PVP in particular but also improve SCL I can get a decent placement in in PVE. 

    Quite a while since my last update. Remain a F2P player, today is day 429 so now over a year of playing the game.

    Roster slots: 134
    5s: 24 rostered. Gargantos and Thor highest with 6 covers each.
    4
    's: 48 rostered. Three champed (Wolverine X Force, Ikaris, Spider-Man Oscorp)
    3s: All 49 champed. Thor at 257 so close to farming my first 3!
    2s: 13/14 farming, still no Bagman
    1
    s: None rostered. No longer a need since the DDQ changes.

    Plans going forward are to keep pace with the 3 releases and catch up with the missing 4s. Hopefully I'll get a few more 4s champed too.

    Quite a while since the last update. Still free-to-play but made good progress since the last update.

    Roster slots: 220
    5s: 51 - MThor the highest with 10 covers
    4
    s: 101 rostered. 42 champed - Deathlok the highest at 289.
    3s: 55/56 rostered. Just need Spider-Rex who was released in the last few days.
    2
    s: 13/14 rostered, still no Bagman
    1*s: None rostered.

    Farming both my 2s & 3s where I can as very much in the ISO drought now.

    Currently 82 characters left to roster so only plan is to continue chipping away at that and hopefully add some more covers to existing 5*s to make SCL10 easier.

    Shang Chi (5 covers) and MThor (10 covers) are doing a lot of the heavy lifting in both PVE and PVP to allow me to progress at SCL10

    Edit* Should add, day 673

    Time for another update. It'll be interesting to compare come the end of the year after all the anniversary stuff.

    Today is day 740. A little over the two year mark now - still F2P.

    Roster slots: 243
    5s: 62 - MThor the highest with 11 covers
    4
    s: 111 rostered. 54 champed, Wolverine X-Force the highest at 292
    3s: All 58 rostered. Continuing to farm.
    2
    s: 12/14. Ares and Bagman not rostered. Just sold and waiting to re-recruit.
    1*s: None rostered

    66 characters left to roster. I'd like to keep chipping away at the 5*s. Playing at SCL10 has really helped progress there since the last update.

    Still a long way off having everyone rostered but getting there slowly.

    Progress report on quests promote 207/250 2* into champ im guessing these weren’t backdated like shards as I have done 2*s way more times than 250

    4s into champ 153/250
    5
    s into champ 84/100
    3s into champ 160/160 wonder why 3s stopped at 160 when the others go up to 250

    10 quests left to complete in all

    ISO currently 13560537 in credit 14015 HP

    1337 CP
    7189443 red iso in credit 53/63 owned

    380 characters in roster only 1*s unowned
    Every character champed at least once except for omega red and vulture

    Not bad for 9.5 years work

    Posted this on Reddit yesterday as it was my four year anniversary, and seemed a good time to do a roster report so I can look back on it next year.

    Roster report - Shield Rank 185, Day 1461. HP - 65k, CP - 10.6K, ISO - yes please

    T100 alliance and usually a Bugle Pittance per month for bonus rewards, but may get the occasional cheap bundle.

    I am not a competitive player, but I would say I'm more than casual too, stuck somewhere in the middle of the both. I'm mainly PVE, playing SCL10, and I complete all PVE events everyday and hit every node until the timers reset. Because of life, I can't always hit the last 2 clears of each node but I make sure I finish in the top 200. Always finish my Deadpool Dailies (all nodes) and only play PVP for 25 wins.

    All characters rostered, excluding 1 star characters. 356 roster slots.

    5s - 24 characters champed, highest level is Shang-Chi at 468. Four other characters sitting at 13 covers, all other 5s sitting between 2 and 10 covers.

    4s - large portion of them champed, sitting at 27 left to champ. All characters waiting on the ISO have minimum 13 covers + 10 saved covers, excluding Peni.

    3s - All 'original' 3 star characters are max champed with a dupe. Since the release of new 3 star characters, I haven't max champed or duped any as of yet. Some are nearing max and will get duped when possible. I'm not prioritising this though.

    2s - I keep Thor, Mags and Storm at 144 for Deadpool Dailies, but are duped. All other 2s get flip farmed.

    Supports - Post Red ISO. All supports are levelled as high as they can be. I have three R5 supports (Chimichanga, Arc Reactor & Atlantis), 11 R4 supports, and the rest between R1-3. Currently hoarding tokens for the rework system in case of shards.

    Current goals:

    • Finish champing the 4 star tier. I was hoping to complete that by the end of this year, but I reckon I'll fall a bit short.

    • Pulling on the LL train, so making sure I get the latest to 13 covers each, or close enough to finish with feeders. Not prioritising champing unless a new meta comes along. Only using LL tokens to do this, hoarding all CP for anniversary.

    • Hoping for a decent anniversary vault. If Shang (my most used character) is featured with hopefully Okoye, I'll hoard break all my CP and aim to get him to level 500 (or as close to as possible), and additional levels on Okoye are always good.

    • After anniversary, start the long goal of 450 champing all 5s.

    I'm probably not making the best use of my resources with the choices I'm making, but I don't feel like I'd be making any regrets.

    please feel free to mention if I missed anything too, by the way.
