Too early to power up 5*s ?

Was wondering if it was too early for me to power up a little bit some 5*s. I have Thanos 1 cover each power, SS 2 blue 1 black, OML 2 yellow 3 red, BP 2 yellow 1 red. I know they aren’t fully covered, but they do much more match damage and would have a lot of health getting them to say lvl 300-350.

Thought Thanos with a cover each power and around 20k health or so would be worth it to get to 300. Even with incoming nerf OML healing and putting out strike tiles with high health at around lvl 300 and SS having decent health same lvl being able to heal and generate some AP with his black, thought might be worth it.

My 4*s I’ve got Xforce and Peggy champed, and bunch of others fully covered and around a very usable lvl range of 200 and up like Wasp, Fury, Gwenpool, Medusa, Red Hulk, Invisible Woman, Dino, Antman, Falcon, Professor. I also have other 4s fully covered but waiting to be leveled up to be more usable. I have just about all 3s champed, only a few aren’t which are ones I’d never really use much.

I mostly do pve and typically aim for 575 in pvp for the CPs, and would like to start climbing higher. I also would like to have a few more characters for deterrents in pvp too. I wasn’t sure if boosting up some of my 5*s Thanos , OML, SS, would be good. Adding 5 Thanos with champed Peggy, and someone else could be nice.

I’d be spending around 300k ISO to get Thanos, OML, SS, to lvl 300 or so, which I thought would make them worth using in certain situations. Not sure if I’m putting touch focus on their higher match damage and health. I feel like I’ve got a good selection of 4s atm, and until I get more covers for some others like Iceman, Hulkbuster, spending some ISO to get a few 5s playable might not be a bad idea.

Thoughts and advice please ?

Thanks so much!

For 300k you can almost champ another four star. An unboosted four star is better than an uncovered five at 300 and a boosted four is way better.

2 things to consider.

  1. 5* generall need 6+ covers to be considered viable.
  2. Leveling your 5* to 350 is partially based on the expectation that you will always have a boosted 4* to pair your 350 5* with.

— If you only have 2 4* champed to 270, then you should cap your 5* to 270. This will ensure that you always have a 4* champion that outranks your 5*

Once you have 8+ 4champ, you can be fairly confident that at least 1 of your 4 champs will be boosted to the 350 range and comparable to a 350 5*.

You should setup your 4*. If you start going with 5*, you’ll be forced to rely on them and be picked apart by others in PvP.

My roster is more developed than yours, and I regularly stop a 575 because I’m running into multiple champed 4* and sometimes even a champed 5* if I go further.

Before the OML nerf, people told me I should have leveled my OML (6 covers) and crushed in PvP. That advice seems a bit insane now after I leveled my Thanos (he was at 7 covers at the time) and have experienced tougher competition. Thanos is way stronger, but I’m still struggling when I start hitting 600-ish in points in PvP.

I’m don’t have enough covers for my 5s, but I’ve been told to keep them under the level of your highest 4s for the sake of scaling. I don’t do PvP anymore, so this is from a pure PvE viewpoint.
