Leveling Help

Why can I not ever level my 2 star + characters?
Do I have to get a cover to do so?

Also when do you get awarded the stars? I have completed numerous prologue mission recently and I haven't been given squat?

Leveling works the same way for all characters, 1 star, 2 star, whatever. Each character has a Level Cap, which is the maximum level you can reach when that character has the maximum level of skill points, and a "Level Max", which is the current maximum possible level with the number of skill points you currently have. To be able to raise the level more, you need to increase the number of skill points by training the character with more covers.

(please note, the skill points are capped at 13 for characters with three powers, meaning you cannot raise all three powers to 5.
For example my Iron Man model 35 has 5/5/3, so he has the maximum number of skill points and I cannot raise Ultra-Freon Beam past 3 even if I get more covers for it).

I don't know what you mean about stars. You must have got at least 20 Iso-8 per mission, it's not possible to get nothing. You can replay the Prologue missions to get all the listed rewards. Some of the later ones give Hero Points, if that's what you mean.

What I mean by stars is the rating of the character which is between 1 and 5 gold stars and it is on the front of the card and the profile pic.

Oh I understand now. No you can't increase those stars, when people talk about 2 star Storm etc they are talking about different versions of the character, for example Modern Storm is 1 star, but Classic Storm is 2 star.

So basically is it is really difficult to raise any higher rated characters because the odds are that you will draw 1 star covers when you are recruiting?

As you get further in the game you will get lots of 2 star covers - you will get Heroic Tokens sometimes from levels and tournaments, and you can get rarer characters from the normal tokens /cover pack too - I got a 3 star Dr Doom earlier today! You will get some 2 star covers from some of the prologue levels too.

How do I get more covers? It seems very rare that I am awarded them.

You can check what you can get from each mission, just tap on a mission and it will show you all the possible rewards in sequence. You should go back and replay missions that you have previously beaten to get all the rewards from them, you can check to see how many you have left to get by tapping on the mission on the map screen, it'll say "4/4 rewards earned" or something like that.

Don't spend Hero Points that you get from rewards on covers, you'll need them for cover slots. If you decide to buy Hero Points then you will have some spare for covers, but always make sure you have an empty cover slot before buying a cover, you don't want to risk getting a new character and not having space for them (although the cover will stay in your cover cache for a week, you won't loose it).

What are your current characters, what skill points and levels do they have?

Where's Modern Storm? She's very good for a 1*.
Concentrate on levelling Iron Man model 35, he's good but be warned Thor is pretty much the same but better. Once you have all three powers for Thor you might like to switch over to Thor.

You'll have to use 1* characters for now, until you can level up your 2*s some more. Choose three, and spend your ISO-8 on those - don't try and level them all up, you won't have enough ISO-8. I recommend Modern Storm, Iron Man, and one other of your choice.

Don't spend any more ISO-8 levelling up Bag-Man, he's useless. Also avoid Yelena Belova, her abilities are very expensive.

On deck rewards (no space)

Venom Dark Avengers
Bkack Widow Modern
Iron Man Model 35

Just to confirm, the Black Widow and Iron Man are the 1 star versions that you already have, not the 2* or 3* versions, and you can't use them because you've already maxed out those colours? If that's so, then just go ahead and sell them - you won't ever have enough ISO-8 to waste on levelling two copies of a character!

I also have found Venom quite useful at least at the start, so once you get another cover space recruit him.

Also do some of the PvP missions - you should be able to do at least a mission or two of "The Hunt", which will get you some extra Iso-8.

And another thing, I think it's a good idea to keep a copy of every character - most of them have been useful in at least one tournament.

You really don't need Bag-Man, he is one of the weakest characters ingame, doesn't matter how you look at him.

Captain America is a difficult thing. He is very good at PvE later on, ecspecially if you have his blue and/or red skill at level 5 but he is really useless in PvP Tournaments. I think it's personal preference with him. If you have fun playing with him and think he's cool, then level him up, otherwise sell him, he's not some hidden superweapon
