Which characters should I keep?

[Beasty]

I just started playing this game and I don't want to spend real money on it, so roster space is getting to be an issue. Should I basically sell all the commons I get? Or are there good ones that I should keep or will be useful?

I have Iron Man 35, Storm Modern, Black Widow Modern, Hawk Eye Modern, and Venom Dark Avengers Spider Man as commons so far.

I have a few Uncommons too like Spiderman Bagman, Storm Classic, Magneto Marvel NOW, Ares Dark Avengers, and Captain America Modern. Should I keep all of those?

Ditch Venom and Bagman. Unless you're a Magneto fan I'd ditch the MN Magneto too(there's a 3* red suit version, jtlyk).

Keep Ares and Storm Classic for sure(classic Storm has a few covers in the prologue you can get as awards). I'd keep Cap too if you can.

The commons are really important for new players because it's really easy to build them fast and Widows stun and Modern Storm's green ability are really handy. I started the game with those two and a Juggernaut, it seemed to get me rolling into the game quite nicely.

Don't ditch your commons until you have a few covers for each of your 2*s like Ares and classic storm.

Oh and there are sometimes tourneys only 1*s can play in.

PS-I tend to keep the characters I like (example: you'll never see a Thor in my lineup even though he's an all-around good addition to your team), so some of the stuff I told you is fairly biased. Like, Iron Man is probably the best tank for new players, but I'm not a fan and there's a 3*** variant that you'll eventually get. There are also 4-5 different Wolverines, so I only keep the rares to save space in my roster.

Ok I'll ditch Venom and Hawkeye then, I had all three covers for Bagman though so I put some Iso into him to get him to level 16. Is he still not worth keeping?

It all depends on how attached you are to your own rooster, for ex, i am not getting rid of my one star IM35, widow, storm, jugger, i might lose venom but only when i get a new villain to replacing him with ( i mean color based villain like venm).
The bag man should be removed from MPQ period, he you should sell, Ares is like the 2 star version of juggernaut, he is great in my book, magneto i dunno, i wouldnt keep him since he doesnt kinda fit on my playstyle, Captain america is a personal choice of yours if you want to keep him or not, i kept mine because i kinda like how you can build up combos late game with him.
Also hawkeye is gona get buffed somehow, i dont know how, but i have mine at min lv with full covers waiting too see the buff, when you put hawkeye with capt tanking for him he is supreme.

He's probably good against goons, but against other heroes/villains his powers don't help all that much. If you have space and like the character, keep him I guess, you'll fight alot of goons in this game. It would be interesting to see what a maxed out bagman can do, lol.

Does your Hawkeye look like Eminem(blonde hair? and blueish uniform). I'd keep the 2* Hawkeye if you can spare the room. I never used the 1* Hawkeye.

Most people keep IM35, BWM and Storm Modern around for a while, as they're a solid base for anything you'll be filling in later.

As for anything above 1* characters, it's all up to your preferences. Bagman, as has already been mentioned, is incredibly niche and likely one of your primary choices to drop if you're going to be limited in roster space. He can be really useful against goons and extremely limited in usefulness anywhere else.

Storm Classic is the one you're the most likely to keep, she's a mainstay in most rosters across the game, even in certain situations for people that have plenty of 3* covers.

The rest are all depending on preferences, drops and composition. I do believe people seem to be selling 2* Magneto (Marvel NOW) a bit short though - He's amazing once you get him some red and purple covers, especially once they hit 5. His blue power is crap though. He can produce ridiculous amounts of Blue AP, creating cascades aswell as critical tiles in the process, which combos well with Storm Modern's blue power. The mainstay of his red power is the fact that it provides AP for all the tiles it destroys (unlike the blue). When maxed it'll blow up everything in a 5x5 area centered on the tile and only has a 1 turn activation time, which translates into a truckton of AP on top of the ridiculous damage it deals. It's expensive though.

Bottom line? See what covers you get from packs, what characters you think you will find the most useful for your tactics and setups and then decide which ones to keep. Consult the MPQ wiki if you need to know how a power grows with more covers.

i completely disagree with getting rid of magneto marvel now, he has some very useful powers once you get to a reasonable level, ares will take a long time to level up if you are just relying on luck but is worth keeping around, and captain america can really turnaround a battle with his stun and shield powers and level 50 iron man can actually come in handy sometimes, even if just as a reserve character when all your mains are dead and you have no health packs and you need to bleed that little bit more xp out of the event, the rest id class as expendable

im a free player aswell and i consider myself to have done very well although i have now put in about 100 hours i have something like 19 character slots with pretty much all my current crop levelled to the maximum their current powers will allow, i dont agree with people who say this game is pay to win, sure the likelyhood of actually winning an event is slim but you can still finish very high in the ranks

in fact usually i find myself trying hard to maintain a certain rank in order to unlock powers for certain characters, thats the hard part

Yeah, MN Magneto is pretty snazzy powered up. Honestly, I would put some money in, just to open up roster spots.

Marvel Now Magneto's Polarity Shift + Classic Storm's Wind Storm = Blue Magnetic Storm of Death

[Halzar]

Being a free player I have 25 slots i think. they start getting expensive after awhil i think the cost is 350 coins for the next slot for me now. Just keep doing events and PvP and earning coins when ever possible.

Do Not get rid of Magneto he is a fairly good character just be carefull how you use his covers. He is not my main line up OBW, Classic Storm and Thor are main group. Get a couple of solid 2 stars and you'll be able to be fairly competetive.

Iron Man 35, Storm Modern, Black Widow Modern, Hawk Eye Modern Are all keepers IMO and IM 35, Modern Storm and Black widow are good for 1 star tournies. I got rid of Bagman and Venom post haste. I've sold a lot of Jugernauts too I figure i'll build a jugernaut one day when i get extra space.

My main problem is I have bearly all the current 3 Stars Missing Black Panther and i doubt I'll get 3 Star Thor this tournie ( still kind of pissed that 3* appears to be a 2* clone that i have to waste ISO on to get him up to where my 2 * is anyways). 3 Stars are long term investments tho I only have a couple covers of each . The one exception is i have 4 Purple covers of Loki for his switch power.

Pick 3 2*'s you like and level them up and start saving coin for more slots. For a casual Free player that's all Coin is worth for anyways as you'll get covers eventually.

I would drop Storm Modern if you get a Storm Classic. IMO Storm C. has a decent passive and the stun ability Wind Storm that is pretty effective once you're able to level her up a bit. Black Widow M is one of my favorite characters as her stun power Widow's Sting for 8 blue is super effective. Even with powered up ISO 8 heroes I keep her around. Shame her max is at level 40. I find Hawkeye is useful as an auxillary hero if you're dealing with HAMMER enemies often because his powers clear rows.

Keep Ares.

I dropped Bagman, Venom and Magneto. Although if you leveled up the Venom he could be useful. My other current favorites are Thor and Black Panther. But those covers tend to be on the rare end. And you'd prob have to either get lucky or rank high in a couple of events to obtain them.

Basically any heroes that require a countdown greater than 2 before their powers activate I tend to toss.

[Halzar]

Keep at least 3 1* characters that you like and play well with because they have had 1 * tournaments where only 1*'s can enter.

[Jeffro]

I think I'll keep the next MN Magneto after reading some of these responses. Does he end up with decent HP at higher levels?

[Turbine]

i have him at level 53 he has 2280 hp, his red power costs 9 and does 945 damage, his blue costs 13, destroys every tile on the board and does damage usually around 1200 i think and his purple costs 10 and adds 3 blue tiles to the board, i have him at 2(red)2(purple)5(blue)

[T-wRecks]

For Magneto Now you probably want 3/5/5 for a final build, absolutely x/5/x. The blue does poor damage at anything but 5, and then it's a horribly slow cd. The red skill actually gives AP for tiles destroyed, so it's more useful than it looks. And the purple is devastating with a good blue user; it's practically a win button with the current x/5/x Spiderman.

Oh, and for Jeffro: he runs identical hp as Wolverine, so 3560 at 85.

[Halzar]

I'd only go 4 not 5 on Red (even tho i currently have him at 5 red covers) 4 covers costs 11 AP and 5 costs 14. too much of a slow down
