no plz tell me everything for as long as you want

i've also got 200k iso so even if i save enough to champ ares + storm when they're ready i could still probably champ another 3 star in the next week. i have an extra loki cover, doom cover, 2x captain marvel covers, & human torch cover -- so if any of those look champable they could be good choices - or if you see another 13 cover one i have that would be a great champ.

i also have 425 stars if you see like a 4-star cover you think would benefit from those...

People swear by Captain Marvel but I find her boring. Loki is an immediate champion IMO just because him + CMags is still excellent (3 board shakes, 2 nukes, a strike/protect steal, an AP steal and a protect generator with all colors covered)

looking at your roster, I'd prioritize 3* champs as:

Loki (must have to pair with CMags)
Patch (deadly 3rd for Loki/CMags)
Blade (Thirst/Keep Yr Enemies Closer synergy is A+)
Vision (his blue, esp when boosted, is terrifying now as long as he's tanking colors)
3* Torch (black is great if you exhausted your other colors before firing it and his red nuke refunds AP)
Doc Ock (super situational, but in those situations he is mad mad helpful)
Doom (if you can get enough of his traps on the board, he can one-shot practically anyone)
Mystique (Shapeshift/Masterstroke synergy is A+)
Captain Marvel (if you can get her generating red, she can spam Photonic Blasts, making protect tiles irrelevant and triggering team passives like Kamala Khan's heal, or Prof X's special tile generation)

hmm... i still haven't even tried loki/mags yet. just been romping with patch and daken.

The thing with Loki/CMags is that once you start firing off Illusion, you tend to get enough AP back from post-shuffle matches to use either of CMags' board-shaking nukes (which may also give you back AP due to post-shake matches) or enough purple to use Illusion again. More often than not, you'll be able to kill 2 of the opposing team before they can make their next match. You can maximize this by doing CMags' red first to clear out teamups and give you more tiles to swap with Illusion (plus the nuke dmg which grows with the number of teamups you're blowing up), which will eventually feed into another red bomb or CMags' blue bomb.

Like, have you ever played a CMags/Loki team and thought the computer was cheating because they seemed to have an endless supply of AP to fire off those nukes over and over again? THEY DIDN'T, that's just how those powers work together.

People swear by Captain Marvel but I find her boring.

I have never met these people!

Loki I use with Patch/Daken. Patch because giant strikes tiles and giant protect tiles, and Daken is to mostly tank for Loki.

Your Hulk should definitely be 5/3/5 -- like Euler said, his red is garbage. And 5 black is necessary for Hulk Bombing with Patch: put out BR, let Hulk get hit, see a billion Anger tiles form on the board which resolve into green cascades, repeat. Obviously takes a lot of health packs, but lol HULK BOMB.

Scarlet Witch should have 5 in blue. Whether you have 5 in green or purple depends on her teammates; if you've got her with Deadpool, then I'd go 5 green with her, otherwise Reality Crush is intense (AOE damage + 5(!) turn stun).

2* Hawkeye should be 3/5/5, team him with 2* Storm and 2* Mags for hilarity. (Oops, just saw your roster, you'll need Storm to have 5 blue for that combo.)

yeah - i used that hawkeye/storm/mags combo a lot but i've since cycled through storm once and sold her so now i'm trying to champ her again

just got 2 vision covers from the versus. if i can scrounge up enough iso after champing loki (ie within the next 2 weeks) general agreement vision should be the next to champ? (i'd do blade next but i had to sell the extra cover i had for him so no rush now). vision always seemed kinda worthless to me as a character?? but i defer to all ur experience.

He now becomes insane on offense when you use his blue, particularly when he is buffed.

Vision is fun teamed with characters who have triggered passives (Kamala Khan, OML) or who need countdown tiles to improve their abilities (Starlord). His blue -> red is good too.

I'm not enjoying using Bullseye in the current PVP (even at l300 or whatever buffed) because his being fun is dependent on having strike or protect tiles out there to destroy with his purple, especially when that triggers his black passive. But I'm not seeing much of that. I hit the requisite 575 for the 10 command points and think I won't bother going for 900 (my Drax is way undercovered & I don't care very much).

how do you even get to 900? i can almost never even get up to 800. by the time i'm at around 725 i start getting attacked and losing points throughout every battle that i win, and the battles themselves are harder and drain my health packs. i think maybe i got up to 800 once ever.

mordy it'll slowly get easier as your roster gets stronger

my roster's somewhat more built up than yours, in particular with 4 and 5 stars, and they let you win just enough faster in that crucial 800-900 stretch to make it. granted I don't always try, it's kinda stressful and I've failed numerous times as well. lots of players use shields near 800 or whatever their goal is minus 100, queue up three doable targets, and hit them fast enough that the inevitable losses don't line up until after you've hit your goal. but it's not easy for me either.

gave up on PVP months ago

xxps Mordy, getting to 900 without the right maxed 4*s is hard, but apparently it's possible: https://d3go.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=33283

May be easier now with Clearance Levels?

Bullseye is fun! I use him in waves a lot, and every day in Big Enchilada with Beast and Psylocke. That way, I have all color coverage, and a couple different ways to get cheap special tiles out. (3* Magneto, Daken, Fist, Cage, etc. all work well with Bullseye at least in providing automatic/cheap tiles.)

PVPs (including Lightning Rounds) (!!!!!) give you XP now, Nhex! At least hit the seed teams!

do you guys really spend hero points on shields and stuff and not just on new roster spots? is it because you already have all the roster spots you need to roster every char?

The short answer is that someone still building up a 3* roster should definitely only spend on roster spots.

Some people spend on PVP shields to help reach 900 or 1200, but reaching those point tiers requires a mature roster. Other people (like me!) spend on extra vault pulls -- thanks to ad and champion rewards, I have a surplus of HP.

Despite hardly ever playing PVP, I only get the dummy seed teams about half the time

sometimes i get multiple rounds of dummy seeds - like right now in the vision pvp

I think the number of seed teams you get depends on how early you sign into the PVP.

whoa, suddenly a lot of events to play

Thanos event basically useless if you don't have any GoG chars.

I got a 5 Thanos! Beat Thanos with my champed Starlord for the legendary and got a purple Thanos cover

woohoo got a 5* thanos too. INFINITE POWA

Nice ya that's the purple

Waaaah my 5*s are still pretty much useless, the Purple Reign token merely gave me another 4* Ghost Rider to add a champion level to (to go with my 15 other 4* champs).

has anyone done a rundown anywhere of what events/stuff is going on? it all seems pretty overwhelming. what should i be concentrating on?

https://d3go.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=56313

15 4 star champs, dang. I got 8. Got a few others nearing though: Rhulk, Carnage, Thing, Hulkbuster.

Drew another 5 Spidey too, purple, 2-0-1 now, but more usable since his blue is dumb without invisibility, which purple triggers

So I made a Gamependium of my 5, 4, and 3 stars. What do I dooooo?

https://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/Rembot3000/

You do have 2* characters, right? They should be the ones you use most often to get through PVEs, since their covers are most plentiful.

3*s are roughly as powerful at level 100+ as 2*s at 94, so be careful which 3*s you level. That means only level them when you can get them to over 100-120(?) in one go, and only level the ones that are useful. On your roster, that's Kamala.

Don't even think about leveling your 4 or 5*s -- they're just not going to be useful at your current covers.

And don't spend HP on anything but roster spots.

too bad i don't have the ghost rider or i could be maxxing out these galactus sequences

from nice + naughty tokens pulled a 5* black widow and luckily 1000 hero points to roster it with

more nice than naughty!

notably I've pulled a RHulk and the legendary from the N&N vault so far, with a red Falcap from the legendary (mine's now 4-5-2, just 2 covers away)

I got/drew 5 legendaries yesterday btw: 2 from command points, 1 from the Thanos vault, 1 from the Deadpool Daily, and the aforementioned one from the N&N vault. got 2 wastes as usual (blue Prof X and an Electra) but 3 good ones: the Falcap, a red Cyclops (5-4-2 now), and a Kate Bishop.

opened a bunch of savory packs:

iso: 7x 500 iso, 6x 1000 iso, 1x 1500 iso
2*: 1x BW, 3x cpt marvel, 2x bullseye, 1x wolv, 1x moonstone, 2x ares, 1x daken, 1x storm, 1x hawkeye, 1x human torch, 1x steve rogers
3*: 2x gamora, 1x daredevil, 1x she-hulk, 2x deadpool, 1x magneto, 1x cyclops
other: 1x 250 hero points, 2x 5 health packs, 1x 10 health packs
best: 1x legendary token!

luckily all useable except for the storm (still need 2x blue covers to champ her again), the she-hulk or the gamoras which are all 13'd already (but not champed)

did get the hero points i needed to open another roster spot

woo! just got my yellow invisible woman cover!

so i've got 230k iso and can probably champ 2 chars. i've since hit 13 with a few more. covers at 13: captain marvel, mystique, human torch, blade, doctor doom, vision, doc oc, rocket & groot, gamora, & she-hulk. (i have 1x mystique, 2x she-hulk, 1x doctor doom, 3x gamora, 2x rocket & groot, & 2x vision in my inventory.) djp, do you still think i should do blade + vision first? i'd have 11 days to raise the iso for gamora - hard to just sell 3 covers! (tho that might be the right move?)

btw that loki/cmags/patch combo is ridic thanks so much. any other insane combos like that?

also what do ppl think about 4* blade (red) vs 4* eddie brock venom (black)? i've got 1 of each and only one spot.

I think 4* venom is terrible but I'm also mad that I have him at 5-1-1 and have gotten 3 or 4 wasted green covers beyond that.

whereas I think 4* blade is cool b/c I have him at 2-1-2 already.

i.e. my opinions here are pretty weak

also gamora suxxxxx

4* Blade >>>>>>> 4* Venom (he's now considered to be the bottom tier of 4* characters)

Of your 3*s, Blade definitely should get maxed (and he's one of the characters who don't have a single optimal build -- he can go 3/5/5 or 5/3/5 depending on the situation).

Other possibilities:
I personally like She-Hulk -- I've probably mentioned this before, but team her with IM40 and Patch and wreck opponents -- BR, steal some of the enemy tiles, then hit with Shulk's AOE red (though you'll likely take some serious damage as well).
R&G are good because they're tanky and have true healing. Their biggest drawback is that they're pretty slow.
Mystique -- maaaaybe. Like DJP said, her purple/black combo is a big hammer; I used to team her with Patch to amplify the damage (and make use of the stun AND used her purple CD tile to try to crowd out the enemy strikes) and one-shot dangerous opponents.

IMO the rest can be sold for ISO.

I agree with Leeee.

Btw I now have a1/1/1 5* Thanos, don't hate

Thano5/OML/SS is kind of an unfair team even when undercovered (I currently have them at 255 1-1-1/345 4-2-0/345 2-3-1 and basically have only needed to use health packs on Thano5 about every third game aside from one time when things went horribly wrong because my iPad registered me wanting to match the wrong tile)

grudgingly champed Gamora bc i somehow ended up with a shit-ton of Gamora covers
