However, I still think that her purple should cost no more than 6ap. 7ap is just a bit too much to be spammable, and this power really needs to be cast multiple times each match to be truly useful. Overall I agree that oml and gg seems noticeably better than the other 5*s

Overall I agree that oml and gg seems noticeably better than the other 5*s Couldn't agree with this more. For only 5 AP Iron Fist who is a 3 converts 12 tiles AND has the potential to do some decent damage and much higher percentage to create match 5's. Although I only have 3 covers for Phoenix she rarely creates match 5's to trigger her passive. A 3 should never out class a 5 .

To give you a sense of my roster I have a 5/3/1, level 360 OML and 14 champed 4* characters, including all the big boys. My concern with Phoenix is that if I bring her to 360 her role will still be limited to match damage / damage sponge until I get more red and purple covers. I estimate that 3 red at 360 will only do about 3,400 initial damage.

I estimate that 3 red at 360 will only do about 3,400 initial damage. She has enough covers to be scary (though 5 purple or red would be a big improvement). Given that you also have a decent oml, I would think about leveling her. A pair of high level 5*s will have a lot of scarecrow value. And oml/Phoenix play well together, since the ideal way to fight both of them is to save them for last. So as a team, opponents are forced to risk either from the ashes or oml transformation (both of which mean massive aoe damage)

I did notice that the red is starting to have a decent base damage now. Is it Worth investing ISO into her even though I am mostly lacking her self-accelerating Power? She's my most covered five-star, none of the others have anything Close to a useable cover configuration. There's no harm bringing her up to 282

I Always have some maxed fourstars from the boosted list so it shouldn't affect my scaling.

The Silver Surfer and OML rewards were both black covers... No chance of Phoenix black, fortunately. I have no idea how the color of the cover is determined though, but I am definitely hoping for Purple too...

I Always have some maxed fourstars from the boosted list so it shouldn't affect my scaling. 300 is ok, probably 330 too, but I wouldn't level her much more without getting some extra purples. At least you have 5 green covers so I guess, that if you play to get her killed she is good enough even to level her to max. Her red is too damn expensive, the strike tiles are not bad, but 9 is too much PS: I have 6 Phoenix covers, just one purple, I really hope by the love of god the if the reward for the 910 day is a Phoenix, it is a purple one!

Hey Quebbster what did you do in the end? And was it a good decision? Luck has awarded me the exact same configuration as you had 5/1/4 (and another green I had to waste ) so I can bring her to 405 If I want but I just have one purple cover which is by far not her best build I already have a 405 level OML so she would be a nice partner, but I am worried about MMR (fighting just 450 teams in PvP? no thanks) and PvE scaling (450+ level muscles? Again, no thanks). Right now both of them are quite sweet, so I don't want to mess with them too much, if things are not going to be for the better... PS: Input from other people with two 5s at this 400 level would be greatly appreciated.
