So I just came back this week after about a 5 month break and have some CP saved up already and was wondering if it would be better to gamble for 4* covers or just use them to try and top off covers for some of the powerful 3*'s like blade, thor, BP and so on.
Feels like I’d be better off covering the 3*'s to have more powerhouses for earning 4*'s to transition that way (which seems lot easier now, I’ve gotten 6 covers since i’ve been back), but I’d like to hear some opinions since I’ve been out of the loop.
That’s heavily reliant on the status of your roster, although I would still argue that buying legendary tokens is still a better idea. If you manage to pull enough covers to make a top tier 4* usable, you’ve already done yourself more good than any 3*. Likewise if you manage to pull a couple of covers for the same 5* character. If you manage to pull a couple of Logan covers, you can bypass the entire 4* tier! Yay for grossly overpowered characters attainable only by luck!
Have to agree with El Satanno here, having Old Man Logan in a usable state is pretty much the only thing that matters. I have a HUGE roster of 15 champed 4s, all 40 champed 3s and unless I’m bored or Wolverine is locked out, my team ALWAYS consists of Old Man Logan and (X) (Iron fist usually). It’s really silly…he’s not even fully covered. 5/1/1, lvl 360, and he’s so far ahead of every other character on my roster that playing with anyone else doesn’t make sense. It’s really kind of stupid that one single, unfinished character is so much better than my other 65 fully leveled characters, but…that’s where the game is right now.
Funny, I thought OML / IF was my little secret! Looks like everyone who can uses it. I have other 5s, but they don’t have enough covers to be useful, so I haven’t leveled them up, because I don’t want to be in 5 pvp heck.
Heh, you don’t play many Lightning Rounds, do you? Although I always clear the last few seeds with someone beefier than IF because he goes down like a swiss cheese submarine once people start looking for non-seed teams.
Hey man, I’m in the same boat. I took a long break, and actually sold entire roster before break to make sure I wasn’t tempted to keep playing. Now I’m back in and playing mostly with champed 2*, but slowly covermaxing the 3* and making similar decisions.
I’ve heard enough about ISO drought and obsolete 3* that I think a slightly different approach may be best. You probably don’t want to invest CP (or even too much ISO) in Blade or BP, since they’ll be underwhelming once you’ve got 4* going… rather, it’ll pay off more in the long run to pump battery characters (Switch, IF, IM40) that will have lasting utility. Folks well into the 4* transition are still enjoying Switch/JG, Fistbuster, IM40/Thora, etc.
