I have one more 3* left to champ, probably this weekend, so now I am trying to decide on who do I want to be the strongest? Do I put it on Thanos or Strange and just let it ride, or is there someone else worth beefing up like Gambit?
Thoughts…
I set Gambit as my bonus hero because he gives out Rogue covers.
It depends on your roster / preferences. I’ve been typically targetting 3* that give 4* cover gaps I need to finish champing 4*, but I’m about at the end of that road. Other’s champ 3*s they will use a lot like strange.
Now that most of my 4s are champed or at least at 13 covers and many of my 3s are getting to max champ I’ll probably start BHing the one that give the 4* rewards I want the most. For example right now I have 3* Gambit champed both because he’s a good 3* that needs more levels to catch up and I’d like to get more Rogue covers.
Also typically they are adding a new 3* lazy copy every 6-12 weeks so once that becomes BHable that’s usually worth while at least until you hit 13.
You could just not favorite anyone, and you’d get random extra 3*s. I did that for a while.
Now that I’m on my second cycle of 3*s, I favorite the ones that are the lowest level to get them up faster.
I had IM40 set until I max-champed him, as he’s pretty much in my daily rotation. Dr. Strange after that. They’re my only two max-champed threes, but a bunch of others are close. Right now Gambit is my BH and will remain so until he’s max-champed. I’ve temporarily set others in order to get a quick cover or two and nab a 4-star cover or LT champ reward I wanted.
As a 4-star player my threes are still important to me, especially when I have them at level 240+ and they’re boosted, so managing my 3-star bonus heroes has been enjoyable.
Hmmm, I forgot about the rewards. For that Gambit get’s the nod for me. Wasn’t there a chart of what 3* feeds into 4*? Has that been updated?
I shuffle around, depending on who’s close to a good reward point (4* Cover or LT, mostly). Generally have a couple at any given time that are reasonably close to giving out something cool.
I’ve just been leaving it on whoever was last (Elektra, currently) until the next 3* is released and heart-able. It’s not worth any more thought than that, to me.
The 3* I BH is based on which 4* they give next. Currently that’s Rocket & Groot to get a red cover for my 4/5/2 Drax. After that I’ll reevaluate my needs.
There are certainly some characters that benefit more from being a higher level than your other characters or at least your other 3 stars. You might want to fave them to get them levels and get them tanking and then level them some more because they’ll need bigger health bars for all of the tanking they are doing.
Patch and Daken: They heal themselves but that doesn’t matter for much unless they are up front and taking all of the damage. The more levels they have the easier it is to have them soak up attacks and protect teammates. The more levels they have, the less health packs you use on mundane situations. Blade, Iron Fist, and Ragnarok are good partners for hiding behind them at only one level less but one of the best teams is Daken and Patch plus a Loki that is like 50 levels less than Daken.
Gamora: Her black won’t even fire unless there is at least one tile on the board with her logo on it. The more of her colors she tanks the better her black is but at least make her strong enough to fire it. Keep her higher leveled than the rest of your three stars and it’ll be easier to build teams around her.
Colossus: His red gets a big bonus when he’s up front. Level him higher and you won’t need to cast his yellow to get that bonus. Since his yellow forces him up front you’ll want his health pool to be as big as possible so he can survive up front.
Captain Marvel/Hulk: Their passives don’t work unless they get hurt so get match damage priority for them so they can get hurt.

Gambit because I want to build an 0/0/5 Gambat (right now I have my dup at 0/0/3).
-
However a couple weeks ago I set to Pyslocke and opened 150 Elite tokens because I needed 5 more champ levels to get a Peggy in order to champ her to avoid losing a couple of covers I pulled. So you may want to see which 4* champ reward color you most need and set your 3* to the character that gives it.

Right now I have Elektra and Star-Lord since they are far behind the other 3* and can use some help to catch up.
Just changed mine to Sentry of all people.
My Moon Knight is currently 3/4/5 and if I’m reading the preview thread right we are 2 events away from a Green MK in progression rewards which would put mine at 3/4/6.
With sentry currently at 216 I just need 7 more champ levels to get a Purple Moon Knight so I can champ him and prevent cover waste.
I set mine at whoever is highest level. I want to finish those entirely and then move on to the next. Also helps stagger the re-rostering process a bit for farming purposes (I intend to keep all of my 266s, even the worthless husks like Vision for collection sake)
I just noticed Sentry is my only bonus 3, I guess since he’ll give out a Moonknight black eventually. My Mk is 1/5/5. Just maxed Storm for Thor red, getting her to 2/5/5. Those are my last vintage 4s not covered or champed.
I don’t plan on keeping all my 266s, just a few of them. Im starting to level 5s, so the extra 100k iso from selling them is helpful
Generally, before I was using BH to get the first round of 4* covers, so shifted them around on who was close to that. At present though I’m concentrating on Gambit as some of my 3* are coming up on the 2nd 4* cover but that will put them at over 6 in that. Otherwise my only level 3* Champ below 183 is Elektra and I have so save iso to champ 4* version before popping her cover and she is way down on my list.
I always set it for who is the next closest to an LT. 3s give LTs at levels 227, 239, 257, and 266. All depends on what your goals are though.
Who I chose as my bonus came in stages.
-
Pump up the best/most used 3s like Iron Man, Dr. Strange, Thanos until they are about level 255 and I can start building a dupe.
-
Then every few weeks I’d just see who my 5 or so lowest were and bonus all of them changing it ever so often.
-
Then when they started dropping new 3’s I would pick the oldest one and solo bonus them (Star-Lord, Elektra)
Now it is currently just Gambit as he fits all three criteria above (though not really number 2 anymore, he is gaining levels fast!)
Someone who I’m specifically aiming for for a 4*cover. Currently: Spiderman. Hoping to set up a team with Miles in it. (Vulture, and Homecoming Spiderman)
When I was HP starved, I had every character who would give HP as their next champion reward marked favourite.
I then moved on to selecting any 3* character lower than level 183 that would give me a 4* character I hadn’t rostered yet. Now I’ve just got my lowest level character(s) set as favourite to help them catch up to the rest.
