Level thresholds?

Not sure about 104, but I was told by my ex-alliance members that 70, 94, 120, 140, 166 were the scaling thresholds. No idea what the thresholds are beyond 166.

edit: 120 and 140 is also handy for pvp, as that's when the characters are boosted to 200

120 is where 3* levels start getting a lot more expensive.

Is that the only reason people pause levelling there or is it somewhere scaling changes a lot too? I'm currently sitting at 114 for a lot of my characters, but if there aren't any major difficulty changes going to 120, I might as well do that.

You shouldn't really see a big change just going up 6 levels especially if you are doing it across the board. If you see an uptick your roster will be able to handle it. I'm pretty sure the 102 cap was so that 2*s can still tank for the 3*s.

And for some toons it just isn't worth taking past 120 due to the costs and their underpowered/underwhelming powers but they still hit 200 when boosted typically.

On the 3* front, I see 3 tiers. Those core toons like cyclops, IF, scarlet witch who should be leveled to 166. The B Team of toons that are good especially when boosted that can be taken to 140 to get a little extra juice from and those you should just leave at 120.

as others have said, 120 is where 3* leveling costs go up. 140 is popular because that puts the character at level 200 when boosted and 245 when featured in pvp, which is more mental (but still effective), but the solid characters can go to 140 and the best 166. that is what I've done and it has worked out well.

How about above that? 180, 200, 220, 250?

I've been curious about this as well. I've seen a HUGE variety of levels of JGs and HBs lately doing events ranging from 200 up to max level. It is usually just those toons though. I almost never see a Rulk not max level for example.

My guess, if you are wanting to minimize scaling of 4*s over a 3* team, you would want to keep them around 200 to 220 so even buffed they wouldn't exceed a buffed/featured 3* team. Would be good to hear from someone with more experience with that though since I'm going to probably finally spend a little money on covering out a 4* or 2.

About a year ago lots of people kept their X-force Wolverines at level 221 or below since that allowed three-stars to tank for him. So that's one magic threshhold at least.
