Damn I need iso.Who am I kidding? It will probably be C4rnage, Mantis, and Polaris. When I still had 4s to champ, I was getting about 30,000 iso8 a day. Doing pvp to 800ish points and SCL 7 PVE to progression.Not sure if that helps you budget and forecast. But it helped me. Worked out as something like enough ISO8 to champ a 4star every 10-14 days I think.

So after many "what is the point of this character?" 4* releases we are now back to "whoa, this is some crazy 4* power creep!" territory. I still think 4* tier is dead and continued dev resources or player money spent on that tier are mostly wasted, but mantis is basically must-have.

There are still a ton of players only playing with 4*s. 4* players fairly vocal on MPQ reddit. Maybe doesn't drive sales as much as new 5* characters. But to say "4* tier is dead" is very incorrect.

There seems to be some effort to build 4* characters that have good synergy with 5*. Polaris/BRB, Lizard/Heimdall, Mantis/Carbage are all examples. Morbius seems to be a counter to all three of these. Monica is a bit of an odd duck considering.

I did a write-up on the previous page. That team did generate a ton of blue ap. Ah sorry, wrong Hawkeye! The 5* one will generate blue and red every time one of Mantis's CD tiles goes off. Mantis/Hawkeye/Somebody would be another potential stunlock team for overleveled PvE fights. Polaris. Has a blue that stuns and creates enemy special tiles for mantis to take advantage of.

I have a few 5*, but they're there to boost my 4* teams. It's slow since I farm and put more priority on the bottom tiers to build up. I'll get there someday, but for now it's all about the 4s for me.
