Hi all!

I'm only just now getting to the point where my 4s are approaching max champ and are starting to need dupes. Ascending them will still take time (even though I fully intend to min-max them), but I'm also not hurting on covering the newest arrivals, so could sharget some of the dupes for quicker progress.
Trouble is, which one? I read so many good referrals here for amazing teams etc. I'm more uncertain then ever!

So the questions is: With the exception of Chavez and Juggs, what's the top 5 best to ascend 4*s?

(Or alternatively tell me the top 5 you love to use the most).

Many thanks 😊

    I don't know that America Chavez is a top priority for most players so I'm not sure how she got on the list.

    Juggernaut is probably the most used 4* among the top players.

    We'd really need a lot more information about how you play and what you like. There are a lot of these guys and very few of them are bad.

    Wasn't Coulson also a lot better when 4a5?
    I don't have him there yet, but I heard he makes a lot more countdown tiles as a 4a5 as compared to 4*.

    Chavez doesn't have any relevance to cl10 play anymore, she was nice to have ascended previously but not a priority. It's basically Juggs and Mbaku for the typical pve meta picks nowadays. If you like special tile spam Polaris can still be good (for pvp, mainly) and ascended Nico is the best tile buffer. If you like countdown shenanigans Coulson becomes a big contributor if ascended. There are a lot of other fun picks out there but that's pretty much just what they are... fun.

    I'd say you're better off concentrating on Juggs or Baku, depending on your needs.

    Agent Coulson
    Ikaris
    Spider-man India
    Doop
    Deadpool

    are fun.

    It's simply that Chavez and Juggs are already ascended. They're my only 2. Chavez because she was in a lot of fan fave legendary stores and rng gave me a lot of covers. Even without really trying I got the dupe to 13 covers and so I wanted to see how much better she might be and ascended her.
    I've been sharding and working on Juggs for months to get the JuggerSam team going.

    I only really play pve, and the very hard nodes can be really difficult, sometimes even impossible for me. Especially if Kangveil aren't an option for some reason. But I don't have 15min to spend on a single battle, so I guess my aim would be to get some kind of team that can handle lvl 825 teams without taking forever about it. I couldn't care less about placement.

    That's exactly what we needed to know! I can't think of any good suggestions for you, but I'm sure someone here will.
