So ive been at a near stand still for quite awhile now and am looking for some input on my roster. Scaling seems to prevent me from getting anywhere.
I have 6 5* with a couple covers each at lvl 255
My next highest are a fully covered x-force wolv at lvl 236 and Nick Fury at 11/13 at 229. From there it’s just about all off the 3* characters championed. I have most of the 4* lineup in various states but not usable.
Sounds like you are deep in the throes of the 4* transition. It’s a LONG slog.
Best not to do anything with your 5*s; putting iso in them now won’t do you much good.
I think your best bet now is just to target CL7 PVE events for that 4* prog reward, especially when you can get a good 4* (hint: DEFINTELY chase down the Peggy blue in unstable iso-8. Hard to get a better prog reward than that one!).
Unfortunately, progress from where you are will take a long time unless you spent a large amount of cash. Basically you should just hunker down, play ddq every day to keep building your 3* champs, play every PVP event to at least 575 for the CP, and grind PVE as much as possible for iso and 4* progs.
At your current level, adding a few more 5s probably isn’t a serious scaling risk, so you can probably open LTs as you get them, which will help build out your 4 bench. I know that my advice is probably a bit disheartening, but there really isn’t a better f2p path at the moment. RNG cover distribution means that you will build up a broad bench slowly and can’t really target any particular character very often. So it will take a long time to make progress, but eventually you will hit a point where you realize that 3-6 4s are all getting up to the 10+ cover range at the same time. That’s when you can start thinking about pushing your best ones up to 250+ and moving into real 4 play.
