Orion wrote: Previously, on "Roster Report"...Fully updated roster is in my signature below. Champion 4*s: 33 out of 40 Champion 3*s. Only ones missing are: I can't see myself championing them anytime soon. Just not enough ISO. 10 out of 14 Champion 2*s. Need Torch, Ms. Marvel, Bullseye and Bagman. Again, just not enough ISO to worry about them right now. I have plenty of cover-maxed 4*s, but not enough ISO to get them even close to 270. But since my 5*s are at the point where they're better than any 4*, what's the point in leveling any of them? Sure, they're nice when they're boosted, but I'd need millions of ISO to get them all that good. Basically the 4* transition is a joke. You only need to level up 2 or 3 top tier 4*s, then hope you get lucky enough to get your 5*s online. Once you get 7 covers in some 5*s, the rest of your 4* roster becomes irrelevant. I haven't spent any ISO in the last few weeks on anybody that's not a 4* or 5*. There's no point. I did get X-23 up to champion level and I'm currently working on Cyclops. I want to get Cyclops, Red Hulk, Iceman and Deadpool up to 270, but none of the rest of the 4*s seem like a high priority after that. Maybe I'll bump up SS or Phoenix so I can run 2 5*s in PvP events. But then I'm worried about running into the big whales. So it's been a month and I've championed Cyclops, Iceman and Rocket & Groot. That's pretty slow progress for a month's worth of effort. It's a little discouraging to only be able to bring up a single 4* every 2 weeks. I did very recently get 2 more covers for OML to max him out at 5/4/4. I have a Kingpin cover waiting for me to champion him and then I'll work on bringing OML up to 450. That's a little more than 200k needed for both of those tasks so that's about the next 2 weeks worth of ISO spoken for. OK, so wholesale changes on my roster this month. (current roster in sig below) In the last month I maxed OML and the rest of my 3*s. I got tired of wasting covers for the last few 3*s that weren't champed. So now I have 9 champed 4*s ( ) and all 40 champed 3*s. I've decided to become the champion of turning over my 2* characters. So whenever I got a 2* cover for one of my level 144 champs, I sold it and replaced it with a 1-cover version. I ended up selling all 10 of my level 144 characters for 650k ISO. I used the ISO to level up the other 4 2*s that weren't champed yet (Bullseye, Bagman, Torch, Ms. Marvel) and dumped the rest of the ISO into my low-level 4*s. So now all of my 4*s are either soft-capped or level 165, whichever one was higher. Yup, even Cho and Star Lord. Now I'm not worried about any of their DDQ fights, except maybe Mr. F (can he win even if he's level 270?). So I see this as a huge loan of 650k ISO that I've got to pay back down the road as my 2*s get cover maxed again. I want to got them all earning champ rewards as soon as possible. In the meantime, I opened up a stash of 440 CP. I got 2 5*s (BSS and SS) and some 4* covers that were mostly sold. I did get 3 Ghost Riders, so he's my next champion target (level 226 currently). Then it's back to building up the 2*s. So it's been a little over a month and I've champed 2 more 4*s - Ghost Rider and Antman. The rest of my ISO has gone to building back up all of the 2* champs that I sold the last time. I have 9 2* champs and 5 more waiting on ISO. My goals for the next month are to champ Nova in anticipation of his cover coming up as a 1k reward very soon. Next up after that is Quake. With those 2 champed then I can go back to finishing up those 2*s. If I get another 2* max champed then I'll sell him and apply the ISO to Nova or Quake. Then back to the 2* rebuilding. A longer-term goal is to get 5* Spidey up and running. He's 5/1/4, but I'm worried about locking myself into all-5* MMR for eternity. Another month, and another 2 champions - Nova and Quake. Good thing too, because they've been enormously helpful in the Hulk PvE and the last few PvPs. After that, I started to build up my 5*s. I wanted IM46, Black Suit Spidey and Phoenix to all be a little more useful. IM46 only has 6 covers, so I focused more on the other 2. I got both of them up to level 310 before I stopped. I stopped because I got 2 Thing covers - 1 from daily supply and 1 from the 1k reward in PvP. So now I'll champ Thing before going back to the 5*s. My Moonstone and 2* Bullseye both reached level 144 in the last month so I sold them off and used the ISO to champ baby Thor and Hawkeye. So I've still got 9 2* champs. I'm going to sell off Ms. Marvel as soon as I get a replacement cover for her.

I have every character above the 1* level rostered (though Black Bolt and 5ulk have three covers between them). I've championed OML. The 1/5/2@270 Goblin still needs a lot of love, but is up to 3/5/4@360. I have 17 4* champions, and 26 3* champions (ranging from 173-230). I've now sold eight different max-championed 2*s, some of them more than once. I have every 4* currently available (i.e.: not counting Howard, Dino, or Wasp) fully covered, and only 2-3 of them are suboptimally so (though Moon Knight looks particularly goofy at 4/5/4). I still need 8.2M ISO to champion all of my fully-covered characters, plus another 2M or so for the 5*s that are playable (or would be, if they had the levels). Overall, progress often feels painfully slow, but it is good to write this, to remind me that it is definitely happening.

I just don't see how the whales do it. edit: always subject to change. since I can't run hb in heavy metal, i'll respec im40 with my covers and pour iso into cyke to use him in the pvp - probably won't quite get him to 270, but better than 235. then max im40 before my red cover expires. after 6 weeks, I've added the following champs: currently saving up for xpool. will need some iso into the newer 4s with their ddqs coming up - as necessary. i'll probably start with them at 70 and step up from there. after xpool, candidates include xf and still waiting for that oml yellow (2.5 months ago) ok, after 2 months I should probably update here. i'll post all, so next time I don't have to do the megaquote in the spoiler: (one leveled) found that yellow and took him to 405 all other 5*s are rostered, SS up to 11 covers. all the rest are 1-3 covers. 10 champs since last post I've added 18 champs (im40 and vision have been added here) champs...still just the 5 champs so...I've found that elusive OML yellow and leveled him. I've champed all the 'meta' characters' and most of the second tier. so....I've decided to go back and finish all my 3*s, roster and champ all the 2*s I don't have and get that engine working. I figure I have enough to sustain me in pvp. my desired 4*s now to max include quake, nova, antman, kp, and punisher. I think I may pause on the 3s/2s if I end up with 13th covers on quake or nova. unlikely since...I'm hoarding most of the tokens and finishing the bottom end. first up will be colossus, then grocket. then possibly squirrel, but might re-evaluate. also have lots of spidey covers right now. this gives me something to do for the next 2-3 months. by then I may have other worthwhile projects. also once I finish the 3s and the 2s I can cycle the 2s at will for hp/cp/covers. (2 weeks ago) (one leveled)@405 all other 5*s are rostered, SS @ 11 covers. 5tark at 5 covers. all the rest are 1-3 covers. 10 champs (no change) 35 champs (the following were added since last update) champs...still just the 5 champs (cycling covers fell to torch when I sold ares so I maxed him) so as you can see, I did decide to finish my 3s. 5 more to go as of today and then i'll finish my 2s. my next update in 2 months i should be setting up to return to progressing my 4*s and 5*s again and will never have to worry about wasted 2*/3* covers again.

Just waiting for that last cover, which should come soon as my IF is at level 182 (one shy of HB). 2) Championed my first 4* with 4hor! I was very excited about this as it was a long time coming. For my other 4*s I wanted to get to 200, Cyclops is very close (197 at 5/4/3) but the rest have been a bit slower. 3) Still undefeated on the 3rd cycle of Clash of the Titans, though I had to bring Flaptain up to 180 to do so. Biggest test will be coming up soon with Mr. Fantastic (5/1/4 @ 130, really hoping to not put more ISO into him). 4) My IM40 rebuilding project is going well, just need one more cover to be cover-maxed. Champing Hawkeye was a big help with this. 5) I got one more cover for OML, so he's now at 2/2/2, but I've kept him at 315. Now have at least one cover for all 5*s except for Hulk. 6) Still no 4* covers for War Machine, Winter Soldier, Spider Gwen or Kate Bishop.

Goblin is now up to 427 (ran out of ISO there, then started saving when I got several wanted covers). Kate is on front-burner, with She-Hulk after her (probably a week left for both). Probably going back to 5*s with ISO after that; 5cap (to 390-ish), then BSS (to whatever my covers support; currently 405), then IM46, if all goes to plan (i.e.: don't draw extra 5cap or Goblin covers) and no must-have 4*s are introduced (Wasp isn't close, and Spider-Woman isn't quite there either). Obviously that won't all get done this season, even if things go perfectly; but not sure how long they will take.
