KGB said: For 3* PvE I use Strange/Fist/Daken (2 or 3* version) esp if Daken is a slightly higher level.Daken tanks Purple/Blue/Black/TU for Strange/Fist so if for some reason you are about to be hit with a power/goon CD you can normally make a match to allow Daken to absorb the hit and his strikes work nicely with Fist's attack tile. Fist is there for his attack tile that constantly wears down the enemy plus his purple power that adds black tiles for match 5 potential or hits hard once you get 12 Black. Strange can stun if needed but mostly he's there for his yellow.When your facing non-goons then I suggest swapping in Cage for Strange since his protect tile will have more value than Strange's yellow. Plus he has that Yellow nuke and can finish a fight (last enemy) with all the Black that Fist generates.I'd avoid Thanos unless you team him with Daken/Patch because he'll kill Strange in short order so he'll always be needing health packs.Your 3* PVP defense is not worth worrying about. Your gonna get hit by 4 & 5* teams (or even higher level 3* teams) once you pass a certain point threshold regardless of which 3* you use. Just worry about offense in 3* land in PvPKGBP.S. I wouldn't worry much about your 4* teams until you get there. It will take a while to get through 3* land and by then the best 4* teams may have changed with new releases + character buffs/nerfs. Just concentrate on getting the top 5 4* from the December rankings along with Peggy/Carol/Medusa from the newest releases.

Smudge said: Not much to add here, but I would not recommend using Thanos and Dr. Strange together on the 3* tier. Dr. Strange works best when he can hide behind a 4* or fellow 3* character, and Thanos in PvE is going to decimate half the health of your Dr. Strange every time you down an opponent.The other advice I'd give is don't worry about defense in PvP. Red Hulk, Peggy, and IM40 aren't going to scare anyone away. I personally believe Peggy is a little overrated on defense unless the AI lucks into cascades. She's easy to build around to take down. People will find ways to exploit your defense - you're better off building to win quick matches and using shields, and this is coming from someone who dislikes PvP.
Skidoo said: As previously mentioned, there are so many characters and so many different activities that there are no "best teams". That said, here are my favorites:"Sucker Punch" - 4* Star-Lord + IM40 + 3* Strange.This is my go-to goon killer. If the node has 2-3 goons, I almost always use this team. Strange's passive yellow inflicts counter-punch damage every time the enemy fires a power. SL's passive yellow creates a countdown tile that reduces the cost of other powers and increases the damage of his Red sucker punch. SL's red can easily hit for 4-5k for a measly 6 red, or go even higher if helped. IM40s yellow powers SL's red nuke and Strange's blue stun, which itself also increases the damage of SL's sucker punch. A successful IM40 recharge can often allow you to one-shot 3 opponents in a row for ~5k each. Yellow Red Blue Purple.
