More Expendable: Bad 3*s, or bad 4*s?

Standard Roster-trimming situation, in which one is having a hard time dealing with space shortages, and trying to figure out who to cut.

from a Heroic token yesterday, and instead of feeling excited about it, I felt a bit apprehensive… the roster spot he took up was reserved for my 2* Essential rotation. I was worried that I’d win an X-23 and have her take up another, but that didn’t happen so I do have one spare roster space for now.

But I’m sitting here wondering, especially with the command point session on DDQ (and my scantly 29 sweets saved up) if it is worth it to try and hope to get a Ragarok.

…but my real question is. What’s a better use of a roster space? A bad 4*, like Star-Lord, or a bad 3*, like Ragarok? 4s are rarer, and rotate into the required characters on occasion moreso then the 3s, but the 3*s get you extra tacos and stuff like that.

What’s a better use of roster space?

3* covers show up as progression rewards more often and are more attainable than 4s. 3 covers may get you some more ddq tokens, and 4*s will eventually get you legendary tokens.

agree with blacksheep - keep the bad 4 over a lower 3. I’d even keep them over the middling 3s too.
