But, since I did, which of the following would you recommend leveling? lvl 60 5/2/2 Psylocke lvl 56 3/4/4 Patch lvl 55 2/5/1 Hood lvl 50 2/3/4 Mags lvl 50 2/2/2 Panther lvl 41 4/2/3 Iron Man lvl 38 2/2 Doom lvl 20 1/1/1 GSBW lvl 18 2/2/3 Spidey lvl 25 2 Hulk =( Again, thanks for the guide!
Haystar wrote: Is the transition from 2* to 3* really needed when you can go infinite on all tournaments with Thor / Modern Storm / Masked Black widow? I feel like this team is very consistant. Allways fight in jungle or desert. Get PA from Masked BW purple and black, red Storm, green storm, yellow Thor (eventually Thor's Red if you have spare red PA to use). Heal yourself with Masked BW blue. You can go infinite powers (chaining Red storm / yellow thor / green storm with, when needed to continue the chain purple black widow and environemental power) during fights and allways go out of a fight unarmed (I guess that You win at least 95% of your fights with this set up). I haven't seen the damage output of 4* of fully leveled 3* characters (Tiles only, not powers), this may be the only problem if for example Storm takes huge hits and can't be used without dying. I'm looking currently at 3 and 4* characters as i recently won a tournament, but i can't find any character that i would like to use over those 3... EDIT: forgot about the tournaments where you can't have one of the three... playing with Masked black widow and storm only is sometimes not synergistic with the third character...

I ask because, outside of Magneto, my ***s I'm getting covers for (IM40, Hood, Ragnarok) either don't appear to be the best or aren't the ideal covers to use. I'm currently prioritizing a few specific **s, like OBW and Ares, when I get new covers for them, but they're few and far between at the moment. EDIT - Fixed levels to reflect the last few days' activity. I ended up getting OBW and Ares covers out the wazoo and cover-maxed them. I could still use the advice on which direction to go, ***-wise, and whether to continue pumping guys like Classic Storm and Marvel NOW Magneto vs. putting that ISO into ***s as I get the covers.

Naixiew wrote: For new players (like myself), I just want to add that if you're desperate for Iso-8 and have time to spare, one option is to farm the easiest Prologue missions for 20 Iso each time you play. Personally, I favour "Chapter 1: Avengers Tower, Attacked!". There are just 2 Level 1 Snipers, and their shots last for a 5-turn countdown, making it very easy to kill them or get rid of the countdown tile before the timer goes off. Even for the weakest of teams, it's very possible to win it multiple times unharmed, making it an ideal farming spot. This is also great for the times when you're just waiting 5 minutes for all your heroes to finish healing and don't mind the boredom of repeating a mission over and over again. Or when you're watching TV and the ads are boring. Or when you're in line at Starbucks... any time you're bored, really. This is a really awesome guide, NP! Thanks a lot! P/S. Since we're on the topic of Modern Thor, I have a quick question. I just completed my 1*-->2* transition. My 2*Thor is only at Level 45 (4/2/2) but fully levelled for the no. of covers I own. I recently received 3*Modern Thor (0/0/1) from the Hulk PvE event. Should I continue trying to get 2*Thor covers, or should I be focussing on 3*Modern Thor instead? Thanks!

Tourneys used to be the absolute best way to get a 2* up to speed as it gave you 3 covers of the same character so your characters went from **** to usable, or from usable to strong over the course of just a few days. However, with the new reward structure, tourneys is a really bad way to build 2* teams unless you're at the tail end of your 2* journey and you just need that one cover. The new best way to build a 2* is probably to play PvE events and win a bunch of special (or heroic) packs from sub-events. If they fix the issue with event tokens by the next event, it could be even better as the pool of 2*s you win from packs is more limited so the likelihood of getting a bunch of the same 2* hero is really great. So instead of getting 7 different heroes to L30, you may be getting 3 heroes to L60

These pvp changes confuse me as im not sure what the best strategy is now: on one hand 1 cover isnt really a lot, on the other hand how long is it going to take for that random 3* cover to actually do something for you? It might still be better to focus on key 2* covers so that you can accelerate into 3'3* cover winnings quickly.
