It sincerely pained me to sell my champed 3Gambit, but after his “rework” it made more sense to sell and rebuild. Hopefully one day he will be worth a roster slot and he and sqeaker can come off the forgotten shelf and be useful again when his black is restored. I was so glad to see one of my favorite X-Men characters finally make it to MPQ, but you quite literally cut his b4llz off with the nerf to black that made him almost useless. All you had to do was reduce his black ap gen by one and not allow allies to fire purple or red powers regardless of whether or not gambit had covers for those active powers, just like his 5version and he would have been fine.
I like his ants-ants-ants. It’s a good yellow. Combined with e.g. Bl4des strong strikes they give quite a sting. Add Gambit to fuel bl4de and himself and it really rocks
I enjoyed using Antsy (4/4/5) with Medusa and Ghost Rider (5/5/3). Attack tiles for days, plus the possibility of boosting them with Strike tiles. They get matched away? Restore health! The opponent also creates special tiles? Steal them with either Antsy’s Blue, Medusa’s Purple, or match them to gain AP!
Unless you’re really hard up for hp, every champed 3* cost you more iso to champ than the sell price returns and that’s even without counting the iso value of individual covers. And 3* champ rewards are serious business. I wouldn’t sell any 3* before 266.
Though N00b did. Because it is really hard up for hp.
I don’t know how good or bad he is now given that I didn’t really use him before, but his black was broken nonsense before. I’d rather have a weak 3* than a tinykitty one. I kept my fully covered sentry at level 94 until they nerfed him. Then I maxed him.
You obviously know this at your roster level, but wanted to point out that having the essential 3 is useful in PVE for the points in their node, not really so much for utility once you’re in 4-5 land. This is doubly important for players who are missing 5*s on their roster. But the 5E makes the 3E moot in terms of PVE progression, so we have more roster flexibility now.
My 3bit is at 205; the champ rewards will get good pretty soon, so he stays.
My 3* Gambit is 171. I looked at the sell price, which I think was 65000 iso and 1500HP if I remember rightly. That would definitely be useful as I have two or three 4s fully covered awaiting iso for champing, however, I would love to get some more covers for Rogue, which I know 3 Gambit gives, so I might hang onto him for a while. Who knows, they might rework him again to put him to how he should have been in the first place.
My level 209 3* Gambit has a similar sale price (1500 HP, 63292 ISO), so if you want to farm him it’s probably better to sell him off when he’s at level 166, I assume you will get the most bang for your buck that way.
plus champ levels also get you Rogue covers, makes no sense to me either. Selling the dupe 0/0/5 made sense for me but I have my champed gambit bh to get the rogue covers. already over lvl.
