It's a good question - do the characters drop at a rate that you can't get enough HP to roster them all? I strongly suspect that newer players feel the crunch - I do see questions of "who to roster" on the FB group all the time.
On the bright side, at least with saved covers you never have to worry about wasting a cover for a rostered character. I suspect rostering a character is a calculus that a new player has to make - that's not necessarily a bad thing as choices of how you play the game are ... well they're part of the game. I suspect it gets to be less of a pinch as you're able to do better in PVP and PVP.
Any 3* and 4* players want to chime in on this?

(This is based off numbers I pulled off the MPQ Wiki so not sure if 100% accurate, but it's in the ball park. I know the developers made some adjustments to roster slot costs a while back and don't know how up-to-date the Wiki is.)

Phumade said: Its true the prices goes up from 1000 to 2000hp at 300 slots. Thing is though, people who need that many slots have farms etc that require the space. 2k is a minor expense once your in that tier of play. The farms and regular rewards more that cover those costs.

Dogface said: If you play regularly, you'll much sooner be HP positive than ISO positive. I'm at a point where i have over 10k HP and roster slots at 1k. And the time between new releases is usually more than enough to earn enough HP for a slot. If you only spend HP on roster slots, just playing should suffice.
randomhero1090 said: I'm coming up on a year. Spent over $500 on the game. Couldn't imagine trying to start this game from scratch without spending any money. All the money went to HP or bundles that included HP. Majority of HP went to slots (I have all but 3x 5* rostered).Roster spots way too expensive. ISO too rare and expensive. Double ISO during anni was great, should just leave it that way. Put some sort of iso converter in the game. Even if its crazy. Like 10,000 ISO for 1 CP or something like that.I have 21x 4* fully covered and obviously don't have the ISO. I need like 8,000,000 ISO to champ them all. So if I earn roughly 25,000 ISO per day, going to take me 320 days of play to champ them all
