3* transitioner - next step advice - level up or soft cap?

I’m have been playing the game for 214 days and have picked up a cover for nearly every character bar 4 4*s (now Thing has joined the roster) and have soft capped myself at 94.

Focusing on the 3*s I have the following sitting on 94. So the question is, do I keep them at 94 for a while longer or start leveling them up together?

Loki: 5/3/4
Falcon: 3/5/3
Cap Marvel: 2/4/4
Dr Doom: 4/3/3
Storm: 5/1/3
Spidey: 3/3/3
Thor: 4/3/2
Blade: 5/2/1
Kamala: 3/1/4
R&G: 4/1/3
Hulk: 5/1/2
Daredevil: 3/2/3

Cheers

Bump

Any advice welcome. Have accumulated 300k worth of ISO and it is just sitting there. Not leveled all of my 2 and 1 stars, have the majority at max but don’t want to waste it. Is 102 safe enough or does scaling take my 2 stars out of the equation?

I would sit tight. you have some good support (loki/falcon) with decent covers but your damage dealers really aren’t ready to take over for ares/2daken/2thor yet, but they can still help give other options at that level. concentrate on pve and get a little closer to covering a good group and then you might have some decisions to make in the not to distant future. collect iso, covers and hp for now. that’s what I’d do. I held mine at 104. I don’t think that would hurt anything but I would wait to push anyone higher until you get some more covers on some top damage dealers (or strike/attack makers for falcon)

I’m just a couple months ahead of you and did the same thing, holding at 94. I think you can start bumping them up, but not by a lot. 104, maybe 114. When boosted that extra 10 levels becomes much bigger. I went 94>104>114>120 and now I’m just moving them up as I feel like it. Current max is 130. Only reason I haven’t maxed anyone is that I don’t have many of the top 10 cover maxed and the ones I do have don’t have a good compliment. I have Thor and Cyc covered, but no one to pair them with that works well.

You’re at a point where the snowball effect starts to roll and you’ll be swimming in nearly fully covered chars soon.

Thanks both. It is a fair point that I don’t have enough covers for my damage dealers, so will hold off a little longer until I’ve added a few more covers then head to 104.

Will focus on pve as well. Took part in the final round of last season’s PVP (God of Lies) and was put in a poor group so was able to get 1st. Wish it was that easy all the time!

I would stick with the soft cap for a bit longer if you can.

you have some solid support and 2nd tier characters. But the only real top tier 3* you have is khan, and she isn’t quite ready for 130 plus without more purple covers (nor do you want to be totally reliant on just one high-leveled character).

I would suggest waiting until you have two or three well-matched 3*s at 11-13 covers before leveling anyone above 104 or 114. (and by well-matched I mean full color coverage, and a mix of tank and support characters).

At your stage of the game, I think the most important things to do are:

(1) use every scrap of HP you can find to get roster spots. It’s never a good idea to throw away a 3* or 4* character since you need those characters to compete in pve

(2) maximize your pve performance. Shoot for top 50 finishes if possible (or top 100 for 4* events). getting mulitple covers for the same character is the single most important thing you can do to speed up your transition. Join a top 100 pve alliance (or merc into one for important rewards) if possible.

(3) Figure out how to beat the daily quest with your 2* roster and never miss a day if at all possible.

(4) don’t open tokens unless you have roster space/HP for any new characters you might get. It’s basically impossible to focus on building a particular character because there are so many characters in the token pool. So you never know what you’re gonna get (insert forest gump joke here). It’s best to just collect as many as possible and wait to see which ones get some lucky pulls that make them playable.

And I agree with udon above. You are at a point in the game when things feel interminable, but you are very close to the snowball period where the 3* covers really start rolling in and you will be soon rolling in maxed characters very soon.

Thanks Vhailorx
Have attached my full roster to my signature now. I do spend most of my hp on roster spots and maintaining the odd good position in pvp for covers I wants (and recently got 4* Thor that way). Aiming to get 1 or 2 Jean Grey covers in the current pve (boosting Hawkeye to 94 to do so), which would only leave 6 characters missing.

Currently in a social guild, with a range of rosters. Joining a top guild would certainly help. Will consider that

Using 2* Thor/Torch/BW I can do the daily deadpool, and has been a regular source of covers. Slow but steady

Suppose I’m just being impatient, and want to get those 3*s in full swing. As you guys say, that will happen soon enough so will wait for a decent rainbow or two with 11+ covers
