I’m close to being there with my *** team. At least starting to have one. I run the usual ** combos in pvp and pve to achieve modest results, usually getting the progression rewards in pve and occasionally cracking top 100 in pvp. I use ** Daken, Wolvie, Ares, OBW, Thor, Torch and Stormneto depending on the situation.
I now have two *** characters with 9 covers. Luke Cage is 3-3-3 and Blade is 5-3-1. Blade has stayed at lvl 102 to let Daken tank for him, Luke Cage is maxed at 114.
My other *** of note
Hood 512
Sentry 502
Mohawk 124
Thor 321
Patch 222
Spider-Man 303
Doom 321
Loki 213
Daredevil 104
Hulk 500
Magneto 221
Punisher 211
Captain Marvel 103
Falcon 301
I’ve used a variety now with Blade and Cage in pvp - I’ve enjoyed Doom and Loki. What I guess I’d want using those two would be an active green user that moved things along. I’ve been using Ares and **Wolverine and it keeps me churning out some damage. I like having 8 Hood covers, but I’ve got the wrong ones. Mohawk could be ok, and her green is decent, but if I’m building up strike tiles and her only use for me would be green, that’s counter-productive (and I’d hate having three black users, tough overlap there). Patch’s yellow conflicts with Cage’s best offense ability, although his red and green make me happy. It just would leave Cage as a shielder and nothing else. Thor’s best ability is his yellow feeding his green, giving me the same problem as with Patch. . .
Where should I make my effort? Honestly, it’s most likely going to be whatever shows up from Deadpool’s Daily.
It’s funny, I think Punisher would work for what I want, maybe Torch, Groot might be ok, I know people say Gamora sucks, but she has a super fast red that is a nice fast dump if I’m forced to take it depending on my opponents, Fist would be good. . . and I only have 2 or 3 of all these covers. I guess I could just level Blade up some and keep using either **Wolvie/Ares/Thor/Torch as my red/green dmg. I’d need to respec Torch back to 535, but those are options.
