I would sell 1* Hawkeye and 3* Hulk (he's not in tokens with the current vaulting, so building him will be extremely slow--FYI, though, Doom isn't in tokens either, although he's a stronger character by far). 2* Black Widow is really, really good, so I would hold onto her at all costs.
2* Hawkeye isn't essential, but his skills are all decent and his champion rewards ultimately give you 3* Iron Man covers, which is really good. 2* Daken self-heals and generates strike tiles, so once you get more covers he's better than he may first appear (his champion rewards are for 3* Daken who is a better version of the 2*). Between the two, Daken is probably the concensus better choice, but I'm personally partial to Hawkeye FWIW. 2* Captain America is a shadow of his 3* self, but once you get his red and blue to 5 covers he really becomes an excellent character in PVE/story mode.
So yeah, in a nutshell, I'd sell Hulk & 1* Hawkeye for 3* Doom and either Daken/2* Hawkeye.
Whatever you end up doing, good luck.

About farming, championing a ** character requires a total of around 100,000 ISO (or maybe less, I do not remember) while you will only farm between 17,000 and 18,000 ISO if I remember well, and you will sell him/her for only 65,000 ISO and 125 HP. You will see later in the game that a roaster slot costs 1000 HP from a certain point. So even if my ISO figures are wrong (I cannot remember the exact figures), the balance will not be graceful, and the HP balance is terrible. When HP is your scarcest resource, you understand that farming with a useful character is good, but keeping a character just to farm is a mistake. So, do not keep ** characters only for that purpose because there are other ways to cover your *** characters.
mpiter said: A winfinite team if you wonder what is it is a team that can, from a certain point in the battle, launch a continuous stream of attacks, each attack feeding the AP for the next one till victory. You need time to prepare the winfinite part, but when you can start it, the game is over. That is why I use it for wave nodes but not for fast fights. The key of the BW/Th/Storm team is to use Green Storm when you have around 25 Green to gather AP, then use Thor Yellow and BW Purple if you can to get back the Green which can be used to gather Storm Blue, Thor Yellow, and BW Purple again... This is deadly due to the insane Storm Green that can gather till 30 AP + cascade for a cost of 12 Green.

If you choose to champion a 2* as you keep getting covers the totals you'll get throughout the 50 levels is 5 CP, 5 Heroic Recruit Tokens, 250 HP, Three 3* covers of various characters (do forum search for "champing rewards" to see which characters give which characters) and 17,500 ISO. And the fully champed 2*can be sold from at least 100 HP and 17,200 ISO (I only have a level 141 2* currently so I'm not sure how much a level 144 sells at). Does it make sense from a ISO sense to champ all your 2*s, probably not. But if you do, you'll get a steady source of, usually greater ISO, HP and Heroic Tokens and 3* covers, which for me is well worth the waiting for starting to work on my 3*s.
You can sell a level-144 2* for 65000 ISO + 125 HP. So, adding the 17500 ISO + 250 HP gathered during the long time necessary to reach level 144, you will get 82500 ISO + 375 HP, which is not more than what you need to invest in the character to reach that level. Hence, the ISO/HP balance is not thrilling. And the other tokens earned going trough the 50 levels above 94 are nothing in comparison to what you can earn during the time needed to go through the 50 levels just by playing daily. So it does not seem a good incentive either to me. If I were someone who does not invest money in the game, I would not waste a roster slot during weeks for that. I would prefer to use the slot for a 3* character instead of throwing away his cover by lack of roster slots. Six 2* characters are more than sufficient for the 2*-to-3* transition. So keeping more is just delaying the transition by lack of roster slots for 3* characters.

No, 25 Green will generally not be sufficient for Ares to clear the 8 opponents of the DDQ 2* wave node. I prefer to use Thor in that node to keep Ares for the other 2* DDQ node with usually three tile movers. This way, I can clear the two quests in a row without using health pack.
Jaedenkaal said: You wouldn't spend ~6000 ISO (and time) for 375 HP, 5 CP, 5 heroic tokens, and 3x 3* covers? I know ISO-debt is a thing, but you can earn 6000 in a day, easily. I understand that you might not want to devote 13 roster slots for that, but you could devote one or two, and keep six at max level at all times. It's a nice way to earn extra 3* covers, and HP for those precious roster slots.
