Bringing up a single 3*

Marvel Puzzle Quest MPQ Tips and Guides Roster and Level Help

At the top of my roster (which is linked below) I have a level 255 OML and then a few champed 2*s around 140.

The prevailing wisdom (which makes sense to me) seems to be that one should wait to start bringing 3s up to 166 until you have a bunch to go together so as to not mess up your scaling. Well, OML messes up my scaling just fine. icon_e_smile.gif
I’ve been holding my 3s at about 104 until they’re boosted in an event, when I’ve brought them up to 120.

I have two 3*s at max covers:
Cap Marvel, who, for the foreseeable future, isn’t going to be a candidate to bring up.
Cap America, who is currently at 445 after today’s big enchilada.

After getting that last cover and thinking about starting the IM40 PvP (my IM40 has 1 red and 5 yellow) I’m wondering if it would be worth it to bring Cap up to level 166 since he’d obviously be a great teammate for this PvP and also champ him to respec to 355. Not to mention him being pretty useful in general going forward.

And I wonder if the fact that I already have OML on my roster means that my scaling won’t be messed up all that much more by having a single 3* at 166. Though I could start bringing people up to 140 or 153 as well (I have about 600K ISO).

Thoughts?

your t3 average will go up ~9-10 levels. you’ll have to decide if 10 extra levels of opponents will kill the pve enjoyment or not. I’d probably do it. especially if you have a functional im40 or another accelerator/feeder. hood works well with cap too. I also use mnmags to accelerate him. I’d do it for cap. agree not with marvel.

Thanks for the input. And the reminder about Hood. I just recently got a 3rd blue cover for him, so he does take red now.

I was reminded that it is boosted levels I have to take into account right? So depending on the event it wouldn’t just be the 166. My 120 LCap was boosted to 187 in the Gwen event. I don’t recall what 166 gets boosted to (240?) but he’d still be less than 255. And if LCap isn’t boosted then he’d possibly be lower than other characters.

yep, boosted levels are taken into account. that means it won’t be any different when cap isn’t boosted. will be quite a bit different when he is boosted. I’ve run across that with just a few 4s maxed - when one is boosted, pve levels are noticeably higher than when none are boosted.
