You can get covers by playing PvP - there's tokens and covers as progression rewards, and you sometimes get rewarded a one- or two-star cover after a fight.
Tokens don't expire, so there's no risk in saving them. As long as you can't afford your next roster spot you shouldn't open anything, but when you have enough for a roster spot you can open until you get a cover for a new character, then you need to stop again.
One last question - Is the best bet then to only open standard rewards and then save up anything above it (even the taco ones?) until im working on 3*? I take it they dont expire do they?

I take it they dont expire do they? I'm sure there will probably be disagreement by some but I would definitely open taco tokens because you'll get quite a bit of 2*s and iso from opening them up. But most importantly you'll at some point get the 250 or 1000 HP reward that you can use to open up a new roster slot. A few more strategy pointers that worked pretty well for me when I started, is concentrate on getting top tier 3*s on your roster when you have all of your 2*s (except bagman) rostered. I would take a look at this forum post https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/67654/all-the-different-character-rankings to give you some help on what 3*s are most highly useful (the most helpful to me personally was Dauthi's 3* guide). My personal recommendations for starting out 3*s are Iron Man 40, Dr Strange, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. The only other wild card that's probably not mentioned in rankings yet is 3* Gambit. I don't have him champed yet, but he is very difficult to play against so he may be among the top 3*s even though he's relatively new character. After reading about the 3*s find out which seems to be the most useful 3* character for you and set them up as a bonus hero and hopefully it won't take much time to get enough covers to make them useful.

I have the Dauthi post saved it proved useful for team ups. I have iron fist and iron man 40 already rostered so looking forward to building those ones up.
Two Words: champion rewards. The champion rewards are pretty good, and two-star covers are common enough that you can cycle through them quickly. What you want to do (once you are no longer Reliant on your two-star heroes) is to sell them off once they reach level 144 and then roster a new version to get the champion rewards again. It doesn't really cost you any ISO, and the other rewards (HP, CP, covers, tokens) are well Worth the effort.
While you are still in the two-star phase there is no immediate need to roster every two-star, but be aware that you will want to have them all rostered eventually.

Mozza said: I see now, i didn't think of that. Are each heroes champion rewards unique or is it just random? I have rostered all the 2* ones i have now so i should start progressing a bit better than i have been doing lately. Thanks guys
Mozza said: Hey guys,Thanks for the advice, its much appreciated. I have sold those 4* cards now which has freed up some space to build on champing 2* cards. I take it the easiest way to get covers for these 2* is to just do story only is it? or can you get them from pvp as well? One last question - Is the best bet then to only open standard rewards and then save up anything above it (even the taco ones?) until im working on 3*? I take it they dont expire do they?Time to get my grind on!
