For the last few months, I've had a single 5 star Champion with Gambit. I held off on champing my other full-covered 5 stars because they were lower-tiered in the PVP meta and I didn't have extra covers in the queue anyway. But now that two OMLs dropped in my lap with the X-Force update and a Doctor Strange is 10 days off, I need to reconsider. Thoughts on where to level/upgrade my 5 stars from here, and who to pair with Gambit if I increase my MMR? Notable options are: OML (266K to champ), Green Goblin (262K to champ), and Strange (383K to champ), Black Bolt at 5/5/1 (214K to the cap at level 420). I've got about 1 million ISO to work with and my CP income is about 200 a week.
Side Question: Now that Supports are revealed as the new feature and it isn't something like expanded champion levels, is it worth keeping more than a single 3* dupe per character for farming? My Patch is at 266 in two slots, and GSBW is almost there too. I plan to hold onto what I have until after Infinity War as a just-in-case, but without a compelling argument against selling them I intend to start freeing roster spots to save HP for other purchases as my dupe champs hit max.
Tricky, unfortunately. Dr Strange is probably your best bet for a Gambit partner, but he is not an ideal choice since he is pretty weak and an appealing target in PvP. OML and Goblin are bigger targets though.
I see your Medusa is 20 covers away from dropping a yellow Black Bolt cover, she might be Worth setting as a bonus hero. It might be Worth considering buying a third yellow cover for 720 CP just to get Bolt up and running.

I agree with making Medusa your BH to feed him, but please DO NOT waste 720 CP on a yellow Bolt cover.OML works well with Gambit, but his strikes get overwritten against Gambit. Goblin works decently even though purple is locked out. Strange is OK, but his health is too low to really be a PvP threat

Yeah, that was a pretty big change for me too. I Went from being able to Cruise to the top 50 with ease to actually having to be a bit tactical about when to play...
