entrailbucket said: No, I was answering someone else I think. I used to do the same thing all the time, and it's definitely fun. I don't know if they need to increase the boost though, a lot of the 4* are already pretty crazy at 479.
entrailbucket said: They're all pretty good when they're boosted and you have them at a very high level, but no one knows that, because no one has them at a very high level, because they're all trying to skip 4*. I think.

I think. The reason newer players don't have them at 370 is because of dilution math.You need 113 covers to max champ. You can reliably get 20 covers when a 4* is in latest (enough to reach say 277-280 range). That leaves you 90 covers short.At ~100 4* characters it means 100x90 = 9000 4* covers to get there. At .85 4* per LT that means ~10500 LT draws required. If you can average 5 LT's a day (an ambitious rate) that means 2100 days of playing or 5.75 years!!!Now, each 4* is featured 1 time a year in PvE/PvP (based on 3.5 days events so 100 events a year) so you can shave off 10 covers over 5 years so maybe only 9000 LT's needed or 4.75 years.Obviously you can shard 1 or 2 to 370 so a Polaris or Grocket can get there much faster but you can't shard more than 1 or 2 because again 26 draws per cover * 90 needed is ~2400 LTs per 370 so again 5000 LTs to get 2 characters to 370.To give you an idea of how many draws 9000-10000 really is, in that same time frame you'd have 1500 5* covers or 30 covers for every 5* buried in classics. So you could get every 5* to L467! Or it takes ~2300 draws (345 5*) to get max champed 5* from latest so in 9000 draws you'd have ~12 max champed 5* at 550!!!KGB

Beefhammer69 said: LavaManLee said: entrailbucket said: Would a bigger 4* boost encourage people to actually acquire 4*s at a high level? Maybe. As a 5* player, there are two 4* players that matter. Polaris and Grocket. That's it. Everyone else is ok and some are better than others but even Medusa/DarkBeast/Morbius don't matter at all. Polaris and Grocket are the only two that mean anything (at least to me). As a 5* player, there are actually lots of 4*s that synergize really well with 5s and make great PVE teams. This sounds like somebody who just champed kitty and runs her with Polaris and Rocket for everything.

Please tell me the other great 4*s that I should be using with my champed 5*s. Outside of Polaris and Grocket, I don't have one I would ever use.
HoundofShadow said: I still like using 4* with 5*. I see them as support to 5* characters. There are still a lot of great 4*. Here are some which I think are still useful:C4rol, Rogue, Domino, Valkyrie, Karnak, America Chavez, Medusa, Nightcrawler, Magik, Shuri, Wasp, Vulture.However, the usefulness of the characters depends on your playing styles.
