I champed Howard back before vaulting, and I had a good amount of Iso about. My 3rd year covers for Devil Dino came just after the vaulting system went into place, so I did not have the Iso to spend on Champing Devil Dino. I do not regret this in the least - better to have extra levels for characters who you'll use than a character you won't.
I suspect when the next anniversary of MPQ rolls around in October, I'll have enough spare Iso to champ her. I will follow Rule Zero for Champing.
Rule Zero for Champing - If it is a choice between wasting covers of various levels, 5* covers are worth an near-infinite amount of 4* covers. 4* covers are worth a near-infinite amount of 3* covers. 3* covers are worth a near-infinite amount of 2* covers. Within the level, characters you will use are worth at least 3x as much as characters you won't.
I champed Dino last anniversary and she's currently at L294 now. I regularly use her (large health pool) along with OML and Thano5 on easy PvE nodes.
On a related note, I champed Howard earlier this month (L271). I've had Bagman champed since shortly after champing became a thing, but he's still only L131 and I haven't seen another cover for him since they ran his special event back around April Fool's Day. I do not plan to farm him as I do my other 2*, keeping the max-champ L144 Bags indefinitely. I even keep a level-maxed (40) Yelena on my roster.
I know these characters have little-to-no usefulness and I've "wasted" HP and ISO to roster and champ them, but I like them as trophies and they make my "Champ Them All" OCD happy. I regret nothing.
Jarvind said: I haven't champed mine. She's sitting at 165 or something to make her viable for her once-annual Crash match, but other than that I don't think I've ever used her outside of the anniversary events.Last anniversary I came close but I just couldn't bring myself to do it even to avoid wasting the covers. Knowing that she's never boosted and not very good regardless just kills the appeal for me.
rdvargas1 said: So I have my Devil Dinosaur fully covered but only at 170. I have 3 of her covers coming up in resupply, but I'm currently working on champing Agent Venom too (three covers pending0. Do I get crazy and champ Devil Dino instead of working on Coulson and Gwenpool, who I also have one cover each pending with 13 days left? (Gwenpool at 165, Coulson 150) My thinking is to work on Devil Dinosaur because of the rarity factor. Thoughts?
