DAZ0273 said: I guess this is as good a place as any to ask this:How far can you level non champed 5* over your top champed 4* and it still be relatively "safe" PvP wise? My top 4* are at 292 and that is where I have Cable (with 11 covers) parked at present but I don't feel I'm getting the best out of him or my Jessica Jones (285 with 9 covers) or Thor (285 with 7 covers). I also have an unlevelled 7 cover Phoenix. Even if they weren't used too much for PvP I feel I could be getting some extra oomph in PvE.My MMR is perfectly fine at present so I'm not looking to rock the boat too much but I feel like I could be getting a bit more out of those 5's and am being overly cautious with them?

All 3's champed (minus new Hawkguy), and 2 farm is going strong. Day: 412 Shield Rank: 75 Champed 4s: Fully Covered: 12 Covers: 11 Covers: (Agent) Focusing on Peggy at the moment so I can hopefully stop running from her in PVP. After that it will probably be Fury. Being on day 412, I'm getting Fury from Daily Resupply in a couple weeks. I champ 4s about every 7-10 days, assuming I'm not trying to rebuild my 2* farm or the current PVE event isn't starving me of ISO like The Gauntlet. Almost teared up reading this. This was March of this year, so it's been 9 months since this post. I'm definitely no longer a transitioner lol. I have a deep 4* roster now at 43 champs strong, and Rhodey will be #44 in a matter of days. I began 2017 having just finished the 3-star tier (at the time) and 0 4-star champs, and I had a goal of 40 for the year, so every extra one now is just about closing the gap and getting ahead of the release schedule. I've even got max champed 3s in the double digits now, and have champed both an IM40 and Patch 2.0. At this point my goal is fully champing the 4-star tier, which is a much more elusive goal than finishing the 3s were. New 3-star releases are few and far between, and 3s cost much less iso to get champed, so that target wasn't moving too fast. 4-stars on the other hand come out almost every 2 weeks, and it takes me about 1.5 weeks still to champ them. And this is including the iso increase from Shield Rank. There will be 17 left to go after I handle War Machine, so I'm anticipating I'll be through them all by the summer. We'll see!Day: 683Shield Rank: 111Still Left to Champ: War Machine, Ant-Man, Kate Bishop, Ghost Rider, Devil Dino, Lockjaw, Mr. Fantastic, Quake, Spider Woman, Venom, Winter Soldier, Howard, Flaptain, SandmanStill Need Covers: ME Hulk (0/2/2)Nico (0/1/2)Didn't include Nightcrawler because the Shield Sim cover will finish him. Will eventually move on to the 5-star tier after I finish the 4s, just a matter of seeing how long it will actually take. Just champed America this morning at #52, but I had to sell off a 144 2-star to get it in time for the expiring cover. I was on a nice pace of champing at least 1 4-star every week, but at this point the 3-star farm is just growing up way faster than I can keep up with. I have 24 max 3-star champs, and a handful that are Lv 255+. 9 of them have duplicates ready to be champed. I told myself I will focus on the 3-stars that have 2-star feeders first, then actually finish a 2-star farm. I have just been running with 6 2-star champs, and I want to get back to a farm where no 2-star covers were wasted. Day: 739Shield Rank: 1184-stars Left to Champ: Kate Bishop, Ghost Rider, Devil Dino, Mr. Fantastic, Spider-Woman, Venom, Winter Soldier, Howard, Flaptain, Kraven (2/1/3)Max-Covered Dupe 3-stars: Iron Man (champed, Lv 193), Patch (Champed, Lv 194), GSBW, Blade, Luke Cage, Magneto, Rocket & Groot, Falcon, SWitch, Captain America, HulkThis will inevitably slow down my mission to champ all 4s and get ahead of the release schedule, but having the bottom tiers completely finished will allow me to get champ levels and thus all kinds of resources at a much quicker rate. Still looking to probably be ready for 5-star Land in the summer. I accomplished my goal of getting my 2-star farm fully up and running again - and thanks to the Offseason PVP that even includes a champed Bagman! I've flipped OBW, Moonstone, and 2-Cap so far, but I've got a few more that are sitting at 144. The covers for the dupes actually aren't coming as fast as I hoped, so I've been juggling roster spots to build dupes. On another note, that 24 Max 3-star Champs has now grown to 36, with another 6 that are Lv 260+. The only ones below Lv 257 are the 3 newest (Elektra, Gambit, Angel), but thanks to Bonus Heroes I've gotten them all above 200 at least. As far as their dupes go, I've re-champed 17 dupe 3-stars so far, with another 8 that are fully covered. I had been re-champing 3s back to back, focusing exclusively on the 2-star feeders and those with large amounts of covers waiting. Out of the feeder 3s, just Bulls3y3 (literally as of this moment) and Spider-Man (I've already gotten a cover from BagMan so gotta count him) are still remaining that are fully covered. My backup Ragnarok and Hawkguy still need more covers. Now as far as 4s go, I've managed to champ 2 more before all this: Kate Bishop and Winter Soldier (54 total). They were the last 4s on the 2 -> 3 -> 4 champ reward track that I hadn't gotten to, so I for sure wanted to have that tree producing fruit on all branches at all times. Thing is though, I've decided to abandon ship on this for a while and get back to 4s. I might still champ a 3 here and there if the situation demands, but I've started to feel like I'm falling behind on 4s, which is moving the endgame farther away. I broke away to 3s in the first place because I was pulling so many covers that were just sitting on the vine, but I've champed a decent enough number of them now where waste isn't so egregious. Sure I'm likely about dump 4 SWitch covers in favor of champing Kraven of all of people, when I'm sitting on enough iso to champ her now, but she isn't going anywhere. More importantly, if I can get over my OCD, I could just let myself sell off her 266 version to champ the dupe lol. But yeah I've changed philosophies for the time being to focus on a top-down approach to who gets champed as opposed to down-up. Some of the 3-star dupes that I champed feed 4s who I don't have champed, which was an issue for me as well. Day: 803Shield Rank: 125 (got that 100K woot woot!! )4-stars left to champ: Ghost Rider, Devil Dinosaur, Mr. Fantastic, Spider-Woman, Venom, Howard, Kraven, Flaptain, Shuri, Black Panther (3/4/5), Valkryie (2/3/2), Jubilee (0/1/1 currently, will be 1/2/1 by end of Apocalypse)Fully covered 3-Star Dupes (haven't been champed):Blade, Bullseye, Deadpool, Strange, Rocket & Groot, Scarlet Witch, Spider-Man, ThanosCurrent plan is to champ Kraven with hopefully enough time to also champ Mr. F before his cover expires. I'm currently holding on to a champ level for my dupe Falcon that will give me his first Flaptain (well 4th overall now lmao), and then he's next. Who comes after that will just be based on who I so happen to pull/earn. There's still a possibility I'd be ready for 5s in the summer, but it's looking more like the end of summer now thanks to the 3-star pitstop. Day: 856Shield Rank: 1314-Stars left to champ: Devil Dinosaur, Howard, Jubilee (5/5/2), Black Widow (0/1/1)Fully covered 3-star Dupes: Blade, Bullseye, Cyclops, Deadpool, Doctor Doom, Doctor Strange, Mystique, Rocket & Groot, Spider-Man, Squirrel Girl, Thanos, The HoodI'm temporarily done with the 4-star tier, unless I finally pull a green Jubilee cover that will let me champ her. Black Widow is probably the worst start I've gotten for a 4-star character since I came back to the game. Missed out on t20 placement, Alliance didn't make t100 due to last minute tomfoolery, didn't have everyone champed for SHIELD Training, and didn't make progression in her PVP. Needless to say it'll be a while before she's ready to be champed lol. I've just gotten back to champing my 3-star dupes, just going in order of who's covers are closest to expiring or who has the most on the vine. I finally let some 266s go while finishing up my 4s, but the grapevine talk is that this new supposed feature may allow you to still gain resources from your max champed characters. I've still got a stable of about 36 max champed 3s, and I haven't sold anyone that didn't have a dupe champed, but these are going to be some tough choices to make. I can start thinking about putting some iso in my fully covered 5s. Day: 925Shield Rank: 138Boy has a lot changed since this update. The saved cover feature, as well as the return to full dilution in classic/legendary packs were they big ones, as they have had a drastic impact on my roster progression plans. Let me first say that I've completely finished champing dupes in the 3-star tier, so both the 2-star and 3-star farms are now running on all cylinders. As of this very moment I have a completely empty vine - which isn't unprecedented, but certainly only has happened on extremely rare occasions. The update of the cover save feature to also allow you to store covers for fully a covered character was HUGE for me. On the other hand, the return to full dilution means that finishing the 4-star tier is now going to be a constantly moving target. Covering characters isn't going to be impossible, just a much longer process than I've grown accustomed to. When I realized how out of reach some of these characters might be for a while, I seriously considered moving on to 5s, but the Gambit nerf also halted that. My current focus now is just getting the new 4s fully covered. I recently finished off Wiccan and champed him (#64) thanks to making T10 in that recent PVE. 4-Stars Left to Champ: Dino: 5/5/3 - Wasn't planning on champing this guy until Anniversary timeHoward: 4/3/5 - 1 more green or blue cover. Nice that I can save the useless dupes nowJubilee: 5/5/3 - She's ready, just no champ levels waiting yet. Figured I'd wait for her to be offered in progressionSpider-Man: 1/4/5 - Fudged it up when he was recently offered as progression on PVE/PVP. No RNG love. Ghost: 2/3/3 - Just missed T10 for her too, and also no RNG love. Emma Frost: 0/1/3 - Will say what happens when makes it to packsFully Covered 5-StarsGambit, Green Goblin, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Silver Surfer, Black Suit Spidey"Almost There" 5-Stars: Cap (1st Avenger): 3/5/4 - Peggy Carter will finish this guy off, who is currently sitting at Lv. 301DareDevil - 4/3/5 - KingPin will finish him off at 300, he's currently at 293Peter Parker: 5/5/1 - Vulture is giving me a red at 320 (303), and I already have 2 saved covers. So 1 additional cover of any color outside of the Vulture one I'm about to get will finish himCap (Infinity War): 3/3/5 - Didn't expect I'd get this guy so close without even hoarding. Don't think I'll finish while he's still in latest thoughStar-Lord: 5/3/3 - Drax finishes him off at 320, and he's at 295 currently. So he's not too far off at all. Thanos: 4/5/2 - Gamora finishes him at 340, she's at 319 currently. Definitely feasible. Black Widow: 4/3/3 - Normally wouldn't have listed someone at 10 covers, but with this new champ reward updated, my Blonde Widow will finish her off at 320. Just don't have Blondie champed yet. Kinda scary when I think about how close I am to having a pretty nice stable of fully covered 5s. Had they not returned to full dilution and left it so hard to cover the new 4s specifically, I'd probably have everyone except Emma and Howard fully covered and would feel comfortable moving up to 5s. There was also the Gambit nerf, which deterred me from champing him with confidence and never looking back. Time to go back to being cautious and trying to hoard what I can. I'd abandoned hoarding completely because I essentially didn't have to worry about any more cover waste, and was pulling just about every day. However while that is true, I feel better about my odds by saving up a huge hoard and just trying to get as many lucky pulls and Bonus Heroes as I can. Feels like I'm shortchanging myself when I only pull once or twice at a time. That exact method allowed me to get LumberCap as close as he is though, so I suppose its not all bad. In either case, I'm gonna hoard what little I can for this "Right To Rule" store to get some Loki/Thor covers, but then after that back to hoarding like normal.

Day: 412 Shield Rank: 75 Champed 4s: Fully Covered: 12 Covers: 11 Covers: (Agent) Focusing on Peggy at the moment so I can hopefully stop running from her in PVP. After that it will probably be Fury. Being on day 412, I'm getting Fury from Daily Resupply in a couple weeks. I champ 4s about every 7-10 days, assuming I'm not trying to rebuild my 2* farm or the current PVE event isn't starving me of ISO like The Gauntlet. Almost teared up reading this. This was March of this year, so it's been 9 months since this post. I'm definitely no longer a transitioner lol. I have a deep 4* roster now at 43 champs strong, and Rhodey will be #44 in a matter of days. I began 2017 having just finished the 3-star tier (at the time) and 0 4-star champs, and I had a goal of 40 for the year, so every extra one now is just about closing the gap and getting ahead of the release schedule. I've even got max champed 3s in the double digits now, and have champed both an IM40 and Patch 2.0. At this point my goal is fully champing the 4-star tier, which is a much more elusive goal than finishing the 3s were. New 3-star releases are few and far between, and 3s cost much less iso to get champed, so that target wasn't moving too fast. 4-stars on the other hand come out almost every 2 weeks, and it takes me about 1.5 weeks still to champ them. And this is including the iso increase from Shield Rank. There will be 17 left to go after I handle War Machine, so I'm anticipating I'll be through them all by the summer. We'll see!Day: 683Shield Rank: 111Still Left to Champ: War Machine, Ant-Man, Kate Bishop, Ghost Rider, Devil Dino, Lockjaw, Mr. Fantastic, Quake, Spider Woman, Venom, Winter Soldier, Howard, Flaptain, SandmanStill Need Covers: ME Hulk (0/2/2)Nico (0/1/2)Didn't include Nightcrawler because the Shield Sim cover will finish him. Will eventually move on to the 5-star tier after I finish the 4s, just a matter of seeing how long it will actually take. Just champed America this morning at #52, but I had to sell off a 144 2-star to get it in time for the expiring cover. I was on a nice pace of champing at least 1 4-star every week, but at this point the 3-star farm is just growing up way faster than I can keep up with. I have 24 max 3-star champs, and a handful that are Lv 255+. 9 of them have duplicates ready to be champed. I told myself I will focus on the 3-stars that have 2-star feeders first, then actually finish a 2-star farm. I have just been running with 6 2-star champs, and I want to get back to a farm where no 2-star covers were wasted. Day: 739Shield Rank: 1184-stars Left to Champ: Kate Bishop, Ghost Rider, Devil Dino, Mr. Fantastic, Spider-Woman, Venom, Winter Soldier, Howard, Flaptain, Kraven (2/1/3)Max-Covered Dupe 3-stars: Iron Man (champed, Lv 193), Patch (Champed, Lv 194), GSBW, Blade, Luke Cage, Magneto, Rocket & Groot, Falcon, SWitch, Captain America, HulkThis will inevitably slow down my mission to champ all 4s and get ahead of the release schedule, but having the bottom tiers completely finished will allow me to get champ levels and thus all kinds of resources at a much quicker rate. Still looking to probably be ready for 5-star Land in the summer.
