HoundofShadow said: Do you play PvE or PvP more often? IF PvP, ditch your 5* and 4*. If not, keep them.. I see you have 6 2* and if you play PvE, it's not going to be favourable to you. End of the day, you want to roster all your 2* (for farming HP, covers and CP) and 3*. Your focus would be rostering all your 2* (except bagman maybe) and 3*.
DAZ0273 said: What Dormmamu says above with regard to 5* is wise. I also think it is one of this games little traps for new players - only 5* can be levelled with a single cover, it is an obvious enticement when you don't realise the consequences.I'm also wondering whether you might have been selling off your 3* champion rewards from your 2*? I couldn't see Patch, Thor, Widow, Magneto etc. The only reason I mention this is that these are nailed on 3* covers as your 2* progress (and get recycled) and you can build these characters faster because of this (plus some of them are very good like Patch and 3* Mags) and much less at the mercy of RNG. Having someone like Beast or Squirrel Girl is of less benefit than a character that has a definite 3 covers coming.
pixiejazz said: I have sold off Patch. I had him, but rarely used him because he only had one move that didn't do much, so I replaced him with someone else. I have 2* champed Thor, Widow, and Magneto. I don't care much for Widow, but Thor and Magneto are pretty awesome. I'm guessing I should also have 3* Thor and Mag?
HoundofShadow said: Please favourite only one character for each star level, unless I misunderstood it. You said you favourited IM40, Dr. Strange and one other character. The reason is if you favourite 3 of them at the same star level, you are still going to get bonus cover for only one of them. The probability is 1/3. If you set to only one favourite for each tier, you will get a guaranteed cover of that favourited character.

Patch and Magneto are top 3-stars, and they are fed by 2-star champ rewards. So as you gain champ levels on your 2-star Wolverine, it'll start rewarding you with Patch covers. Same with 2-star Magneto who feeds 3-star Magneto. Once your 2-star reaches the max-champ level (144) you can sell it and start a new one, and earn those champ prizes all over again. This is a great way to feed the 3-star covers they reward.Widow is a sneaky good 2-star and the best support character at that tier. Her purple AP theft will accelerate anyone she is teamed with and her blue is good against countdown users or for a quick burst of healing.

Maybe I can sell him off and recruit someone else. Most of my current covers waiting for recruitment are 3* characters, like Mohawk Storm, Modern Capt. Marvel, and Hawkguy version of Hawkeye. I suppose it's time I add one of them to my team. Probably Hawkguy.
Waddles_Pines said: 3* Cap or Hawkguy. Though if you go with Hawkguy, definitely roster 2* Hawkeye since he feeds covers to him. (FYI 2* Hawkeye/Storm/Mags is a killer team at your level)Below is random advice that I wrote because I read your post wrong. I need coffee...-------------------------------------------------------------------------------1* - Juggs, Spidey, or Iron Man. You only need one, so it's dealer's choice (though if you have animations on, it's whoever's animations appeal to you because you'll be seeing them over and over and over...)2* - As other's have said roster them all since they all feed different 3*, and are part of the farming simulator that's built into the game. As for 2*Widow. In your tier, she's also one of your top two characters for dealing with goons (her and Cap). Her abilities also let her increase the duration of enemy countdowns, so it gives you a little wiggle room to get yourself out of a jam. 3* - you'll eventually roster them all, but if your spots are limited, concentrate on ones that are fed by 2*s (ie Wolverine, Cap, Mags, etc)4*-5* - it's too big a jump for you to go into this tier without spending a lot of $$$. As others suggested, you might want to get rid of some of them. All except the top tier ones you have. By the time you reach this tier, all the ones you have will be vintage and harder to cover at that time.General - save your CP/legendary tokens. Don't use them at all. Use your HP only for slots for now. Your ISO amount might sound like a lot, but the jump from 3* to 4* starts wiping out ISO pretty quickly. At the end of the day, play how you want to. There's no "wrong" way as long as you're happy playing.

I suppose it's time I add one of them to my team. Probably Hawkguy. You should get 3* covers at level 99, 115 & 127 for each 2* Champion that you level towards max 144, so you should have had 2 Patch, 2 Thor and 1 Magneto cover so far based upon your roster. Edit: And I see you rostered Patch! Good move, it may not seem like it now as his health is low but this will do you good in the future. Patch's healing factor is very good and will save you healthpacks, he also has a nice combination that can be done with Loki and he is absolutely great in Strange Sights against boss Kaecilius.
pixiejazz said:I'm probably going to recruit Juggernaut and max him out again since he's the best 1* character, I think.
Heartbreaksoup said: I'm not as enamored with IM40 as Dormammu is, but I agree completely with him on 3-star Cap. His powers do require a lot of AP, but once you've built them up, he does a heck of a lot of damage on red, and unless the board is just cruel to you and you lose his countdown tile, you will be throwing that shield again very quickly, Cap is fantastic on wave nodes, where you've got time to use and reuse his shield.
