Returning Player, Need Help!

Posts: 17 Just Dropped In
I took a hiatus from the game after i spent so much time with it, its been about 2 years so coming back, of course, seems like a new game altogether. I have all 2* most champed and i have a bunch of 3*, some champed but most have enough covers to make them useful in PVE. I have 4* and 5* but only 1 to 2 covers for them, question is, should i get rid of the rest of the 4*-5* and focus on my 2*-3* roster? Plus i need more roster space for the new 3* coming through. Any input is useful.
TL:DR - Should i sell my 4*-5* to focus on champing my 2*-3*? Then go into 4* land naturally?

With 4*, if you get a few covers in them, don't level them past your highest 3* until you're ready to jump into that tier. What TPF is spot on about the 5* (ie help your clears), but having too many characters above your 3* will move you up in PVP difficulty. If you're only talking PVE, then the levels don't matter.
I get wanting to chase a few 3-stars to max champ and wanting to roster them all, but it might be smarter to stick with the 2-stars and what they give for feeders to build your 3-star roster, and if you stumble on one or two useful 4-stars and have room for them (people like Grocket, Prowler, Nico, Bishop), keep them and start building them, but like Waddles said, keep them leveled lower than your 3-stars.
Bonus hero 3* Doc Strange as soon as you can. He will make your life so much easier in so many PVE nodes, it isn't even funny.
I wouldn't open any Legendary tokens until you're ready to start rostering 4-stars, and these days opening a heroic token can give decent chances of encountering a dang 4-star, too.
No, I don't think so. Keep your roster intact. If you're back for the long haul you'll get to 4-stars and 5-stars eventually. Sit on them if you can. The 2-star and 3-star tiers don't take as long as you'd think to roster and champ. Just do what others above have advised and hoard your Command Points and any Legendary Tokens you amass. Only use them to open Latest & Classic Legend Tokens when you have open roster slots. As soon as your slots fill up, go back to hoarding. This will help minimize any wasted covers.
Anything you can do to get HP for roster slots - do it. Farm 2-stars, spend $$$, get progression rewards in events, etc. Expediting your HP intake will quicken your roster growth.
Welcome back. If any of the new game aspects (that have been changed or added since you left) confuse you, we're always ready to help on these forums.
Juggernaut is a 2-power character, and so if you're starved for red and green you're relying on match damage to get the job done, at least until you can get some red or green AP.
Spider-Man is a 3-power character, so you're less likely to get a bad board than you would with Juggernaut.
Spider-Man can go to level 50, and so his match damage is higher than Juggernaut's match damage.
Spider-Man's powers are just as cheap as Juggernaut's.
Juggernaut's red does 1100 damage, but that's overkill in the 1* DDQ node where opponents typically have no more than 5-600 HP, and sometimes even less.
Spider-Man's red, which does 668 damage at 5 covers & level 50, is just as capable of getting the job done.
Spider-Man has a 1-turn stun that can KO a DDQ opponent, or reduce them to half-health (182 [email protected] covers, or 324 @ 5).
Spider-Man's Purple create two critical tiles which if they make a match and when combined with the power's damage ([email protected], or [email protected]) can KO an opponent, while the match can sometimes generate AP and potentially allow you to chain powers.
Juggernaut's green is a massive board shake-up but it does not generate AP from the destroyed tiles, only from any resulting cascades. (Enemy Juggernaut will always get cascades; you never will. /s)
Even at level 50 Spider-Man does have less health than the tank that is Juggernaut, but Spidey still has more than enough health to survive anything DDQ's 1* node can throw at him.
In conclusion, Spider-Man is the best 1* character.
I gotta defend the unstoppable here.
He has more health so when things go crazy he lasts longer.
He costs less iso to max out. He takes only 10 covers to fully level as opposed to 13.
Some enemies will have more than 600 health, not a problem for juggs.
He's the JUGGUERNAUT $!@#%!
p.s. Spidey is really good too.
Juggernaut is absolutely a force to be reckoned with, and a new player would definitely not be doing the wrong thing in keeping Juggernaut as their single 1-star character.
But from time to time I did run into red & green-starved boards and that definitely did slow him down. It didn't stop him though! Because you can't stop the Juggernaut!!! But it did slow him down
So I took a look at the other 1-star characters to see who I could sub for him, and after a process of elimination it came down to Storm or Spider-Man, being two of the three 1-stars that have three powers. Iron Man is the third, but with his blue costing 19 AP* to fire, he may as well be a two-power character.
Spider-Man won out for all of the reasons I posted above, but at the time I switched he still had his web-powered abilities, and the way that his web tiles boosted his powers made him a lot of fun. More web tiles made his red hit harder, his blue stunned for longer, and IIRC his purple generated more critical tiles.
He's not as much fun since they removed his web tile mechanics, and IMO that stripped away everything that made him Spider-Man. I'm still using him, because he is the best 1-star
* 19 AP for a 1-star character's power. That's insane! At least bring it down to something like 12 AP. Yes, I know it's a nuke, but 19 AP? For a 1-star??? That's ridiculous, devs!
edit - removed a bunch of white space/rows I accidentally left in.
Yes, Juggs has a boatload of health (the only thing he has over Spider-Man) but it's wasted against three level 12 enemies that aren't going to hardly dent Spider-Man's 2750 health. And with three damaging abilities that each only cost 6 AP, Spider-Man is the fastest option to clear the DDQ node.
If you're looking for utility outside of DDQ, try teaming Spider-Man with Okoye.
