TPF Alexis said: There is no need to bother with Bag-Man. I didn't roster him until I was well into 4* land, and even then, it was basically just because I'm a completionist.The 3* ISO drought doesn't last too long. It's definitely a struggle for a while, but they champ fast enough, and the tier is limited enough that you get past it.
Quebbster said: Yeah, Bag-man is basically a Trophy character. Since he is Limited he will never be required in PvE. The big reason to champ him is that his level 144 champion reward is a Legendary token, but collecting 63 covers for him takes forever. Ignore him until you are at a Point where you feel you can afford a roster spot for him.
Quebbster said: Yeah, Kamala Khan and Rocket and Groot are probably the best ones on that list, so prioritze them. In the long run you will want to champ all threestar characters, but starting with the best ones is a good idea.
Dormammu said: Keep in mind that your ISO drought will now never end, and managing this will become a juggling act. But it sounds as though you know what to do. Minimize the opportunities of getting 4-star covers (for now) until you have all the 3-stars champed and you won't be wasting any 2 or 3-star covers you gain. That means hoarding all your CP and Legendary Tokens (which you are doing) until you're ready to fully make the jump into 4-star territory.Once there, only open tokens if you have enough ISO to champ a 4-star. Open until you get a 14th cover for one, then stop. Champ that character. Hoard until you have enough ISO again. Repeat.This will keep wasted covers to an absolute minimum, though you'll still be selling an unusable cover from time to time from progression rewards, champ rewards, and lucky Heroic Token pulls.Champing all the 3-stars may sound like a daunting task, but you only have 24 left. You should be able to champ about 3 of them every two weeks thru dedicated play - so you're about 2 months away if you get them all fully covered. Don't be afraid to dip into your CP hoard and spend 20CP for a cover or two if you need to buy that last annoying 13th cover for a 3-star.
Dormammu said: Don't worry about the She-Hulk cover. Let it go. Sounds like Teen Jean is next and I agree. Your plan for Black Panther is sound, but I wouldn't bank on the BH to come through and I'm not sure I'd spend the CP either. You may want to consider letting those covers go, continue hoarding your CP for a (more) rainy day, and champing Hulkbuster instead. He's a really good 4-star. But... if you really like Panther and you think he'll be of more use - go for it. The upside to Panther is that he'll be in the Latest batch for a while and you'd probably end up with more champ levels than HB.
ssbledsoe said:I'm currently at about 62k ISO. I "should" be able to generate the ISO to save them all (assuming 2* turnover), and I should have enough CP to spend if needed to get KK & SL to 13 covers to champ. My plan is to prioritize them in this order: DD, CM, KK, SL. This is based on when covers expire and whether or not they would need any investment above and beyond ISO to champ them (since I'm really spending this to get LVL 166 LTs). I'm open to discussion as to whether or not I've prioritized them correctly. None of these are really going to be used by me other than required nodes.

She'll be of immediate use and instantly make your roster better. You WILL use her and she remains viable into 4-star land. Captain Marvel and Starlord are benchwarmers and losing their covers shouldn't bother you. Daredevil's more of a niche guy but solid.
Dormammu said: Don't sell the farm or bend over backwards for Gamora, Ragnarok, Psylocke, or Colossus. They're all bottom-tier 3-stars. If you can champ them in time, great. If not, you won't use any of them outside of essential nodes so losing a cover or two really makes no difference. Those covers will come back around. Quicksilver and Hawkeye will be far more useful. Quicksilver in particular seems to be a go-to for a lot of bosses, as board control/manipulation becomes important in those fights. I like Hawkeye as well, though oddly enough my favorite teammates for him are in 4-star land (which means he holds his utility well).Everyone has a bad spread on Howard. Mine is 5/3/1. I wouldn't even keep him on my roster if I wasn't such a collection fanatic. I have no intention of ever champing him so I don't think twice about selling his dupe covers.I think Chavez is a good choice as a 4-star Bonus Hero. They come few and far between but at 2/3/2 you have an even spread and no BH cover would go to waste. My own personal 'meta' (at least in PvE) has shifted away from G/G/M and more towards Chavez.How has it been going with your recent 4-star champs? Have you been able to work in Rogue, Teen Jean, and Hulkbuster into your rotation of use?
