I currently conserve my gold for roster spots and so the idea of using gold to purchase shields doesn't work for me. I have found that if I put myself into the 400 range till the last 3-4 hours and then burn out all of my roster/heath I net 750 and a top 10 placement (more cumulative gold this way). I have a roster of 38 with 1/1*, 5/2*, 24/3* 3/4* and 1/5* . I have 4* Thor, Elektra, Kingpin, and Deadpool as well as 3* Squirrel Girl on Deck in my rewards. I do regularly run into the situation of having to decide who to drop as I can only achieve enough gold to add a new roster spot about once a week. Any advise on how to proceed at my level is appreciated. (Been playing the game for a little less than a year and have not spent any real world money. I have considered dropping $20 dollars into the game for gold to increase my roster size but will wait for the next special event deal to do this.)http://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/DireMcCan/
