I've temporarily stopped champing 3*s now, since my OML day 820 resupply drops in 3 weeks, which will allow me to champ him, so I'll need plenty of iso for that. I'm up to 1776 CP now, so I'm intending on cashing that in when my OML resupply drops to try and champ Phoenix (12 covers) and Surfer (11 covers) at the same time. What I do after that depends on what 4* covers I end up with from the CP hoard. I may try and champ another 4*, or I may continue to champ my 3*s.

The remaining ones ( ) I never use unless they are essential, and they don't feed covers to my 4* champs, so I'm done with this tier. I might go back and champ She-Hulk at some point, but it's low priority.Four-Star Status Currently championed: Thoughts on these so far: - Got the Top Five (tm) in there. No explanation needed. - Thing/DP combo: check. Thing is also better than he gets credit for on his own. Green hits really hard. - Ant-Man: Ehhh. I really only champed him because I got 3 covers from Civil War and didn't wanna waste them. He's alright boosted, and he does benefit a lot from free respecs, but...ehhh. He is tremendously useful against Threaten and Turn to Smoke goons, but otherwise not a particularly great asset. - Wolverine: you know, this guy is actually pretty good when he's boosted. Black hits like a train, loads of board shake, and yellow heals a pretty big chunk at 3 covers. He's not gamebreaking, but not nearly as bad as he's made out to be. - Thor: I will never get tired of the Thor/IM40 combo. CHARGED TILES EVERWHARZ. - X23: Pleasantly surprised by how great she is. A little slow unless paired with another strike generator or IM40, but once a few strikes are out she tears fools up. She also benefits a ton from respecs - 535 normally, 553 when she gets banged up. Yay health pack savings! - Punisher: Holy crapnuts, you guys. This guy is an absolute madman. The only thing keeping him from usurping Jean Grey's seat on the Top Five (tm) is that he needs green and black, so he needs two batteries to really plow through a team. Even with one, though, once he gets the AP he needs to start throwing down, it's pretty much game over. Honestly, my only beef with him is that he does such insane damage that a lot of it gets wasted. Plus, you know, boosted strike tiles never hurt anybody (except the other team).Five-Star Status 2/0/4: 2/4/3: 5/3/1: 3/1/1: ZERO ZERO ZERO WRU NORMAN: 2/1/2: 0/1/0: 1/0/0: Zeroes The only one I've leveled to usability is OML to 350. Holding him there for fear of putting myself in view of maxed out 5* teams in PVP until I have a couple of my own. Also, I'm dreading the day I get that 6th Phoenix green. I haven't had to sell a 5* cover yet and I know I'll be furious about it.Current Plans - Taking it easy for a bit. When I was down to six 3*s left that I wanted to champ, I got covers for all six of them within a week. It was a mad rush to champ them all and I had to sell off 2* Storm and Ares. I'll probably get them back in fighting shape since the DDQ is annoying without them - my only other 2* champ is Magneto, and everyone else is underleveled. I might bring up a couple others just so I have some fodder to sell in a crunch. - Hoard up a butt-ton of ISO. Probably 600k to 1 million, depending on how long my willpower lasts. I'm sitting on 15 LTs and 550 CP, with no plans to open them anytime soon. Once I break them open I'd like to be able to champion a few more 4*s and bring my total up to 15, which should hopefully give me a good chance of having at least one good one boosted in any given week. Ideally it'd be Quake, Nova, and then dealer's choice based on what covers I get; Quake is fully covered so she just needs ISO, though Nova is stuck in a problematic 5/1/5 build, so I need to pray to RNGesus for yellows. - Re-evalute at that point. Hopefully by the time I crack my hoard it'll be big enough to brute-force my way into some decently covered 5*s. We'll see, I guess.
amusingfoo1 wrote: Double ISO and sale have been good to me. Finished championing all 3*s (and got two of them up to champion-max); finished BSS (though still no champion levels); and got the 2* farm running again. Also championed two more 4*s (Cho and Kingpin) with significant help from that farm. Right now I'm sitting on a huge pile (for me, at least) of both LTs and cp, and I'm not sure what to do with it. I started saving in the expectation that Strange would be a 5*, and I could cash them all to get him, Black Bolt, and Natasha at once. None would be fully covered (well, maybe Black Bolt, since I only need five more covers for him), but at least I could get a huge jump on all three. Now? I'm on the fence about spending them now, or waiting for the next 5*. I'd like to work on IM46 (5/3/2@255), but the odds of pulling him have gotten so bad that it hardly seems worth trying. And I'd love to put more levels on Spidey, but ditto. Edit: I forgot to mention that my roster is up to 18.3M ISO, and close to 24k total levels. Actually made some progress on leveling faster than new characters have come out, and am down to 5.7M to max out all of my fully-covered characters. Plus another 1.6M to take my partially covered characters to level max.
Orion wrote: So, Anniversary III happened, and with it came a flow of ISO unseen since everyone got their Clearance Level bonus. In the last 2 weeks, I champed Cho, Elektra, Devil Dino and Spider Gwen. That's a pretty impressive amount of ISO generated. I've finally tipped the scales to where I have more champed 4*s than non-champed 4*s. My 4* champs: Max-covered but not champed: I just pulled a Nick Fury cover, so I'm thinking he'll be my next champ target. In the meantime, I'm building back up 2* Storm who just got max covered after being flipped. I'm in a 5* rut lately, so no progress on that front yet. Pretty disappointing since 5*s are the only way I can truly progress in the game now.

I used to get more 5*s from classics and virtually none from Latest, the past 2 seasons seem to have reversed that. Had several 3*s and 4*s pop out LTs, so more than usual number of latests, but even counting that, I would still have more classic than latest pulls, but got only 1 surfer this anniversary. Champed Surfer at last, no others closer to becoming usable despite having a better than decent number of pulls. Yay rng progression! You lose when you lose, you also lose when you win! Plus there is absolutely no guarantee I will stay lucky, as evident from my classic pulls. Oml L458 +0 Phx L455 +0 SS 452 +1 Banner 2/1/3 +2 Cap 1/5/3 +1 actually 0 but reasons... IM46 4/1/3 +0 GG 3/2/3 +0 BSS 3/2/0 +0 Black Bolt 1/3/2 +2 Widow 2/2/0 +2 Still my favourite tier. HB took a surprise cover and broke ahead of 4Cyc! "I refuse to walk hand in hand with someone who leads by flashing his yellow underroos, you losers!" Meanwhile, Bobby quietly advanced to 306 to threaten the HB/4Cyc dominance... "will no underroos be better?" Xfdp and the rest are hanging back below 300, eating popcorn and shaking their heads. No new 4*s champed, naturally. Wasp got her last needed yellow, thankfully no more duplicates. Now I only need covers for Jessica, Luke and Gwenpool... However, Venom has 2 covers in queue with 12 days to go. Going to try to see if I can get him champed in time. This rate of new character releases... IF and Mororo still fighting it out for king/queen of the 3*hill. I'm totally confused why they're so keen - IF 246, Mororo 242. Rags and Hulk at a more stately 238. Total 18 3*s have hit 223 and given up their 2nd 4* cover. I'm eyeing Loki at 221 with the looming threat of another Venom cover. Scarlet witch remaining unmoved at 201. Still 3 more left to rechamp - obw, cap and moonstone. They may be temporarily on hold while I scrabble to rescue Venom. Started multiple duplicates to avoid the pressure of expiring covers, will be much less painful next time my farm turns over. Bagman count: one Overall: current dire shortage of iso, with Venom in queue and 3 2*s to rechamp. I must resist opening lts! Save them until I can avoid wasting more covers - I'm really feeling the sting now with a run on fury, fantastic, ghost rider and other unusable covers.
