fight4thedream said: **Mod note: Moved to the Roster and Level Help forum.And to answer your questions:1.) Depends on how competitive you play PvE. If you are looking to break into t10, probably not the best group to go in with. If you are looking for fun team combos, then I can see Prof X and Iceman being helpful in making your PvE experience more enjoyable. But honestly, they aren't the fastest team out there.2.) Not really possible to answer since there are no details about how the new targeting system will work. Of the two, Storm looks like she will work better with your other available 5*s. A big issue with Carnage, especially in PvE is that his special tiles will slow matches down. 3.) If you want to be a competitive PvE player, then yes, your best bet is to continue hoarding. However, if you are feeling burnt out, you need to ask yourself why. Once you figure that out you should have your answer on whether it's worth continuing hoarding or opening now and get a fun but not meta set of characters.I personally am skipping but I don't mind hoarding.Good luck!

I know because I'm using that combo to finish T10. There are others also finishing T10 with essentially the same 4* roster I am fielding.Obviously if you are set on playing competitively in CL9 then you'll need a 5* roster. KGB
KGB said: What's the cause of your burnout (bored, PvE taking too long, not enough rewards, not enough challenge, etc)? Without knowing that it's hard to give you my opinion.Incidentally, I have roughly the same number of pulls (2500 CP + 280 LT's) as you do. I also have 4 fully covered 5* (Daredevil, Bolt, Strange, Ice) but unlike you, mine are all set to my 4* roster level (300ish) so my PvP experience isn't a problem. They will remain there until I get Kitty/Okoye fully covered (@9&11 covers).I'm doing nothing more than opening enough LT's to get 1 Carnage for PvE until such time as I see how Targeted Heroes works. I want ProfX but the fact I already have Ice covered means I am in no rush to open many tokens until he also leaves.KGB
Akroma said: edit: btw, how fast would you say u do scl7 with jugger? in minutes thanks D
KGB said: Akroma said: edit: btw, how fast would you say u do scl7 with jugger? in minutes thanks D My Grocket and Gamora are both L297 and my Juggs is 280. I have a L150 Ebony Maw on Juggs so he tanks Black too (so all colors but Yellow). I do my initial 4 clears in 20-22 minutes depending on the PvE (those annoying Mindless ones take longer because of the slow tile placement for example). Final 3 clears in slightly less time. Incidentally, I find I clear faster if I never fire any powers at all unless I somehow luck into Gamora Red on a long wave node. I just make the first non-yellow match I see that doesn't remove my strikes.This is good enough in S5, CL7 slacker bracket (slacker means 3rd or 4th flip). KGB
Daredevil217 said: If I was in your position I would open right before Carbage rotates in. Maybe before the tumbleweeds pass, the developers will give more info into how this targeting system will work and they’ll say something that changes everything. But with no other information to go on, I would open. You are already in 5* land with one of the best characters (if not THE best) in the game in Thor. So opening won’t change your MMR. If your 5s weren’t leveled I might say “wait”, but you’re already there. You’ll still be facing the same teams, you’ll just have more tools to face them with. All three of the current Latests are legit “fun” characters so there’s that. Bobby will tank for Thor, but I wouldn’t sleep on a Professor/Thor duo either. That was my team of choice in Venom’s PvP for some odd reason. I just chased all Professor’s colors, even if two were useless, and let Thor passively collect his (though I mostly used the green/yellow on Brock). Having zero overlap means you can probably keep Thor in back even easier. I really believe that Storm is a significant enough upgrade over Carnage 1) as a stand-alone character 2) as fun to play character and 3) as a partner for your other characters, to warrant opening for her, bypassing Carnage and losing any potential bonuses you’d have gotten hoarding for this new targeting system. I don’t think these three are meta (Prof is closest), and so they likely won’t bump you into a new stratosphere of rewards. But there’s something to be said for variety in this game, and even if not meta, this is the best group of three we’ve had in a long time. Obviously Carnage will contaminate that pool. But Storm/Ice/X are a solid 3.

Daredevil217 said: I feel more solid in my advice now that shards have been revealed as a slight downgrade to BH on average. If you don’t get any BH in all your pulls, you are out 2 5* covers you would have gotten with shards. If you get 2 or more you come out even or ahead. So not super significant either way. If you are intent on opening, my opinion is BH >> shards and Storm >> Carbage. Some people on Line would say only open for characters that are meta or will make your gameplay substantially faster. I don’t think any of these characters are speed clearers in PVE, but I think the burnout thing is real and it’s important to give yourself more options to play with to inject some more fun. This is a very solid trio and one that I believe will increase the variety and fun factor which for me is important, but YMMV. Best of luck either way.
Daredevil217 said: Wow! That’s kind of a best case scenario there finishing the first two and getting the last one to leave two covers away from done. Yeah, I would wait for Storm/Ice to rotate and then try to get a Carnage and two Professors while sharding Strange. Then during that small window between when we get the new character’s numbers and they are actually released you can see where your hoard is at and decide if you want to go Carnage/X/Y or hoard through Carnage and have more pulls for X/Y/Z. Nice job.
