Hi everyone!
I would really be thankful for your help, because I am a bit stuck with my roster management and generally would need a (at least) mid term plan for the game. I read through alot of topics so far, some of them helped me while others confused me even more. But at least now I think I understand all the abrevations…
I'm playing this game for about 2 months now, and obviously made a big mistake in spending some HPs early in the game for buying characters, so now I missing roster slots and don't really know how to proceed.
My roster can be seen here:
https://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/Beerman63/
I probably will have earned enough HP within the next days to get one more slot, and (even though its sad to do so) get rid of my 1* Iron Man and only keep Spidey (which I like much more than Juggernaut).
Also I decided to not keep covers for 2* Moonstone, Bullseye and Capt. America as I read they are fairly useful.
Problem is I still have 15 covers waiting to be rostered within the next week or so, including two 4* characters.
To be precise I have the following:
4* America Chavez, Quake
3* Dr. Doom, Human Torch, Wolverine, Luke Cage (2 Covers), Elektra, Spider Man (2 covers), Gamora, Thanos
I definetly want to keep Thanos, as I figure he is one of the best 3* characters. As you can see I already have some 3*s in my roster, and most of them are already useful at this point, like Iron Fist, Black Panther and especially Dr. Strange, who is an absolute monster in goon battles, even though I don't have alot of covers for him.
I have like 3 "Teams" that I use for games:
2*Daken/2*Wolverine/3*Dr Strange for goon teams
Thor/Magneto/Storm or Capt. Marvel (all 2*)
3*Black Panther/3*Iron First/2*Ares
Do you have any other advise for characters I can pair well together?
And what would you suggest, who should I discard from my roster to make some space for characters from my "waiting list",and which 3* should I sell?
Generally I would be thankful for some tipps on how I should continue this game, so far I just enjoyed playing and didn't think about some "strategy" for my roster. FYI, I mostly play Story, only a few games in PVP because I tend to get opponents that are way too hard to beat.
What I don't fully understand is the concept of champing a character and afterwards selling it to start leveling it up again… Like, my Hawkeye is now LV 100, and I get some fairly decent rewards for every new cover, but I basically never use him in games as he doesn't seem to really fit in somewhere, so I wonder how long I should keep him.
Thank you very much in advance for your help, I really appreciate it.
Got some questions again, so I thought I re-active this thread:
So, 2 months later my roster looks like this:
Any advise / feedback on it? Basically I am doing fine with it in PVE, my nr. 1 team is IM40, Ares (or 2* Thor) & Dr. Strange. With opponents until lvl. 70 approx. I also use the team of Luke Cage / Iron Fist / Strange, or Daken/Wolverine/Cpt. Marvel. Any suggestions on other good teams?
I admit I do have a bit of a problem playing with supporting characters like Black Widow. I’m never really that happy when she’s in my deck, though I read in the forums that she is super-useful, so I assume I’m not really using her correctly what would be good partners for my 2* and 3* versions of her?
What really confuses me is that, whenever I play PVP (Lightning Rounds and everything else besides Shield Simulator), 90% of the time will I get opponents with at least one level 270 character in it, which are impossible to beat. Why is that so? I read that the level of opponents is an average of the best 3 to 5 cards, and I am nowhere near a 270 level card, my average obviously would be around level 140 the most…
Last point, I got a loadfull of characters waiting to be rostered, including some 4*. This would be Invincible, Medusa, Spider-Gwen and The Thing (which I think seems to be a pretty strong character). Is any of those 4 worth keeping / worth dumping one of the low cover 3* like Rocket Beast or Octopus?
I got alot of CP points and I know I shouldn't use them for 4 or 5* covers now, but how about "upgrading" my 3* like IM40 with it? Is that a waste of CPs or would it help me at this point of the game?
I’d once again appreciate your help, sorry for my rookie-questions…

Beerman63 said:Well about the levels, I got 600.000 ISO at the moment, so I do level any character that gets new covers just to get rid of a bit of the ISO. Black Panther I didn't level more so far because I wanted to keep him @ the same level as my 2* champs so it doesn't affect PVP even more.Do you think I should champ him already (like I did with Dr. Strange?).
Beerman63 said: What do you mean by champing 2* Hawkeye and Magneto? They are champed already, arent they? - or maybe I am misunderstanding the term champing ? For me it's when a character has 13 covers and will not get any more but every extra cover will only add 1 level... Is that correct?ink I get one about 1 time per month (as a casual player with about 1 - 2 hours playtime per day.
I want to add to @Dormammu comment about spending CP to level up 3* characters.
What I did will be considered controversial on the forum. However, I would like to provide a different perspective that I hope you find useful.
I’ve spent CP to level all of my 3* character except Dr. Doom (he’s my RNG control; more on that in a bit). Why did I do this? To get to the champ state faster because I wanted to start getting the champ rewards.
I decided to use CP who was essential for PVE. (Important side note here: I only play PVE and DDQ. I have never played PVP, so I can’t attest to that.) Usually, but not always, by the time the story event was over, my 3* character was champed. Any covers now got me champ rewards I wanted.
I have all of my 3* characters champed (except Dr. Doom) for several months now. They vary from levels 176 to 225.
Now onto Dr. Doom. He was the last 3* I rostered. I have had him for seven months now. He is at level 127 (5/4/2). He’s there because of RNG. I chose him as a control because (to me, not to the forum but to me) he’s one of my three least favorite characters (of 3* land) to play. This proves to me that RNG is going to be RNG. That is why I don’t go “chasing after” characters (of any tier). I learned that you simply have to take what RNG gives you.
I am still not going to spend CP on Doom because I do want to know how long it'll take RNG to give me the covers, and, yes, he is my bonus hero.
Yes, I realized that by spending my CP on leveling 3* forced me to stay in 3* land. This helped me in the long run. Since I was not tempted to open any Latest or Classic Legends vault to get into the 4* and 5* land, I had the time to fully learn the game and what are the best strategies and team synergies that work for me.
Also, it ended up being fruitful. I literally have over 2 million ISO surplus at all times because now I am waiting to earn the 20 to 25 CP to open up Classics or Latest Legends vault during my play. I always have ISO to spend when I get a cover to level up a character. Additionally, I always have 1000 HP to spend when I get a new character to roster.

Enjoy it while it lasts, you are going to need every drop of it and lots more to level your fourstars in due time. 2 million ISO is only enough for around 6 fourstars, which is less than 10% of the tier.
Of course, this is not a problem that would have been solved by a bigger CP pile, just pointing out that ISO-wise the fourstar tier is a massive hump to get past.

I learned that you simply have to take what RNG gives you. This is true to a degree, and more true the further up the rarity tiers you go, but it should be entirely possible to bonus your way to any given 3* faster than 7 months. I once went from not having 3* Gamora on roster at all to having her champed via bonus heroes in maybe 3-4 weeks. It could be that i'm seeing more standard and elite tokens via PVP than you are though; I think the key to leaning on bonus heroes is just volume of tokens opened. On the 4* fronte, I find that the PVP special stores give me more 4* bonus heroes than any other store does, and I only ever open the 2-3 of those per store that I get through progression. I believe the 4* odds in there were generally tweaked higher as part of the full-dilution change though, so maybe that's just working as designed?
