This got me thinking, it's funny because several of the better characters are female in the 4* tier, but in the 5* tier, there are 2. Not 2 of the top x, just 2 of 22.

Exactly. And should be treated as a most generous, entirely undeserved gift. Only gratitude should be expressed to @Jarvind for what we've already been given -- holding no expectation for future contributions.
Anyway, that's how I view it... I cringed at your tone, @Anon.

While I appreciate the defense @Yepyep , based on @Anon's previous posts in the thread, I don't think they meant to sound demanding, just curious as to when I would update next.That said, I was just looking over my roster and realized there have been four or five releases since I last tweaked this, so I'll probably make an effort to squeeze them in and maybe move one or two out of NYR over the weekend. It gets increasingly harder to rank these accurately the more the number swells and the more I continue to not use them much due to being in 5* land, but at the very least I think we can all agree that Chavez belongs in the top tier.

And I hadn't read up in quite a long time, so: apologies if I mistook your tone, @Anon.YES as to Chavez. I think I use her more than any other character at this point! Wowser... I would put her top-5 and possibly top-3, but at that point it becomes a subjective, play-style thing. For example. I'd guess that, while I don't personally use her all that much anymore as my collection of 4*s grows, C4rol is still probably #1 or #2 for a lot of people.
zodiac339 said: For a 5* player, Chavez is definitely a top 5. Punch Everyone becomes useless, but granting crit damage to 5*s more than makes up for the loss of the ability. Valkyrie takes a similar position, tossing out strikes from enemy match damage and generating AP relatively quickly from your match damage (if you pay attention to the Bounty Hunter target and can afford to switch to it). The better question though is: how do the four-star characters rate when played as four-star characters? Chavez’s usefulness as a 4* with other 4*s is considerably lower. Carol and Mockingbird have, not just incredibly terrifying damage moves, but they force you to take care in how you play. Rogue is horribly frustrating to deal with due to that passive, and her AP blocking/damage blast is abusive. Vulture turns into a one-man murder machine if you don’t keep black AP under control. Peggy’s capacity to slow the game pace until that game-ending blue comes out is top notch. Cloak and Dagger quickly turn up the damage with Child of Darkness’ attack tile spam with nice dual utility/AOE from Light Knives, and Darkness Hungers can shut an enemy right down for a while, letting Child of Light heal up. Mordo has a lot of damage to offer, and becomes even better as more passives define the meta, giving his purple bigger AP pools to nuke with. Iceman is still a bit of a solo monster.Chavez, reliant on match 4s, tanking her strongest colors, and hoarding AP just doesn’t offer as much in the 4* tier. Opinion.
Sidlon said: I think it’s worth noting that most “4* players” still have the option of cleaning house with Chavez with a couple low-leveled, low-covered 5*s. My highest 5* is level290, but I’ll still regularly pair Chavez with the PU 5*, and whatever 5* covers the other 3 colors.

And if so, who should I choose to remove?Thanks! I mean, I would just collect the 1k HP and buy another roster slot. You should be able to get that much in the 2 weeks before a cover expires.I guess if you absolutely have to toss somebody, I'd lose Kraven out of that group.
Quebbster said:Yeah, Chavez is a must keep and Nova is very fun, so Kraven would be the loser by default in this situation.
