The 4* I think are the best are, in rough order:
Bishop
Worthy Cap (esp. with 5* Hawkeye)
Juggernaut
Sabertooth (esp. against Kitty Pryde teams)
Vulture
America Chavez (if you're a 5* player at least)
Captain Marvel
Karnak (esp. for 5* teams)
Spidey 2099
Medusa
Rocket and Groot (if you have a good Kitty Pryde)

With a bunch of these I could have added "esp if you have Okoye" since she's game changing imo

Next tier:
Riri
Peggy Carter
Valkyrie
Rogue
Gamora
Deadpool xforce
Iceman
Blade
Cyclops
Coulson (with 5* Hawkeye)
Main Event Hulk
Taskmaster
Infinity War Spidey

Luke Cage
Cloak and Dagger
Moon Knight

Professor X
Jean Gray

Ok I guess:
Black Panther
Spider-Woman
Miles Morales
Nightcrawler
Spider-Gwen
Thor (pour one out for the good times though)
Star Lord
Totally awesome Hulk
Punisher
Nick Fury
Kate Bishop
Iron Fist
Gwenpool
Ghost Rider
Wasp
Ant Man
Shuri

Who really cares tier:
Jubilee
Lockjaw
Agent Venom (great teamups though)
Quake
Black Widow
Human Torch
Sam Wilson
Dazzler
Hawkeye Ronin
Thanos
Sandman
Thing
Invisible Woman
Ghost
Winter Soldier
X-23
Kingpin
War Machine
Nebula
Carnage
Mysterio
X-23
Wolvie Xforce
Yondu
Venom
Namor
MODOK
Howard the Duck
Spider Ham

Are these real characters tier (note: I have them champed or at 13 covers):
Wiccan
Magik
Wolfsbane
Northstar
Prowler
Black Cat
Domino
Karolina Dean
Nico Minoru

Garbage tier:
Kraven
Devil Dinosaur
Emma Frost
Talos

Nico is fantastic if you don't have a decently-leveled Kitty and Domino is wonderful for anyone who needs black AP to do their thing. Kraven seems useless but he is a surprisingly effective Gritty counter and plays extremely well with other Sinister Six characters, especially Carnage. MODOK also did some great things for me when I put him with Kitty/OML; 6 red AP gives you attacks and strikes which Kitty immediately starts buffing, which rules.

LOL that you put X-23 in the "who really cares" tier twice, that is OTM

Northstar belongs in the garbage tier

lol, I'm annoyed that rng has given me so many x-23 covers, she's my 2nd highest covered 4*, at 319, just behind Invisible Woman at 320. :(

Oof. My top 4* is America Chavez at 332, followed by Rogue (323) and XFW (323)

Agree on Medusa/Captain Marvel, they got a lot of playtime for me. I don't think Kraven and Nico should be that low for the reasons DJP said

Wish I hadn't sold my XFW back in the day. I was just really bored of him but I could really use the OML covers.

Also want to say Spider-Gwen/Miles/Iron Spider works way better than it should, Kate Bishop's heal block is sometimes a life-saver, and Quake's near-nullification of non-Okoye-boosted AOE is wonderful

(I haven't actually run Gwen/Miles/Miguel but I can see with Miguel's web spam that team getting OP very quickly)

Miguel is very good

Okoye/Miguel/5trange is my new "I'mma melt your face" team

Do you guys sell your 3* as soon as you complete the cycle? I'm finding it hard to let go of 'em and just buy another roster slot. Esp hard to drop my maxed out 3* Doctor Strange, with 4* Starlord and 4* Carol, too good for AI NPC teams.

I did the first time through, now I have enough hp to keep a copy

Champed Carbage btw

I usually sell maxed 3*s right away. I kept Scarlet Witch for a while because I actually use her. Thanos is another good one.

I started keeping my max champed 3*s as a usable ISO bank that I can dip into if I suddenly need to max champ a 5*. Currently waiting on a 13th Iceman cover to dip into it (sitting on 19 with Scarlet Witch and Spidey at 259 each)

I've been working on bringing the last few ***s I have up to champion level. It's amazing how much easier this is to do with the shard system. You can just pile up the shards until they're ready and not have to worry about the cards expiring or needing to make room on your roster.

Is anyone else keeping track of their roster on gamepedia? I haven't updated in a while but here's mine (I posted it before but it's lost in the 7K previous posts on this thread):

https://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/djperry1973/

Wouldn't the process of trying to keep that even remotely current drive you insane?

That’s why I update it like once a quarter, lol

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

spidey instead of juggernaut for your * is interesting. just bored of jugs or do you find yourself using spidey outside of the daily?

I think he's slightly better for the daily. Red is similar and he has two other direct damage powers instead of 1 other.

1* Spidey is a bad-ass

I ended up leveling 1* Spidey and 1* Iron Man just to accelerate DDQ

Hmm, maybe I'll try switching to Spidey just to spice things up a bit

His red is high enough to one-shot most (if not all) DDQ enemies, his purple drops crits and his blue stuns. It's glorious.

I like IM because his yellow does damage as well as negating the already-trivial match damage from DDQ enemies.

I used to have the three of them together but then I pared it down. That was like two years ago tho lol

Here's my updated roster : https://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/Jex/

Have you guys seen the 5* Immortal Hulk videos?

https://youtu.be/MYZi26p3Icg
https://youtu.be/O1Py7UiwQCk
https://youtu.be/7hz0FuGqpEo

i don't totally understand the gameplay here. also seems like you'd be better off with a 5* setup that doesn't kill your own team? not a fan of the self-damage characters

"Whenever Bruce Banner dies, the Immortal Hulk springs to life. Powered by Gamma Radiation from beyond The Green Door, the Immortal Hulk confronts supernatural threats, demons from his past, and the dark truth about the nature of his power.”

9958 Health / 40027 Health

lvl 255: yellow 24 | red 167 | blue 28 | purple 26 | green 214 | black 190 | team-up 106 | crit 3.5x
lvl 450: yellow 92 | red 667 | blue 109 | purple 101 | green 857 | black 762 | team-up 424 | crit 4.0x

The Green Door - green PASSIVE
(PASSIVE) Absorbing energy from beyond The Green Door, the Immortal Hulk grows ever closer to his ultimate destiny. At the start of your turn, converts 1 random basic tile to Green. Then, if there are at least 8 basic Green tiles on the board, deals 224 damage to the enemy team and destroys 2 basic Green tiles. (Destroyed tiles deal damage but do not generate AP.) (Max level 900 damage)

Level 2: Deals 367 damage to the enemy team. (Max level 1474 damage)
Level 3: Deals 510 damage to the enemy team. (Max level 2048 damage)
Level 4: Deals 795 damage to the enemy team. (Max level 3195 damage)
Level 5: Deals 1367 damage to the enemy team. (Max level 5490 damage)

What Does Kill Me - black PASSIVE
(PASSIVE) Death is but a frequent inconvenience. Whenever the Immortal Hulk makes a match, deals 622 damage to himself. When Downed, if there are any non-Downed allies, the Immortal Hulk is revived with 4446 health, deals 1814 damage to his allies, and his base match damage is increased by 35% (up to a maximum of 210%.) (Max level 2502 self damage, 17869 revived health, 7291 ally damage)

Level 2: Deals 627 match damage to himself per match. Gains 39% match damage when revived. Maximum match damage increase raised to 231%. (Max level 2507 self damage)
Level 3: Deals 632 match damage to himself per match. Gains 42% match damage when revived. Maximum match damage increase raised to 252%. (Max level 2512 self damage)
Level 4: Deals 637 match damage to himself per match. Gains 49% match damage when revived. Maximum match damage increase raised to 294%. (Max level 2517 self damage)
Level 5: Deals 642 match damage to himself per match. Gains 63% match damage when revived. Maximum match damage increase raised to 378%. (Max level 2522 self damage)

Breaker of Bones - 7 red AP
In an all-consuming rage, the Immortal Hulk smashes with reckless disregard for his own safety, dealing 4985 damage to the target enemy and 4446 damage to himself. (Max level 20035 target damage, 17869 self damage)

Level 2: Deals 5372 damage. (Max level 21592 damage)
Level 3: Deals 5760 damage. (Max level 23148 damage)
Level 4: Deals 6534 damage. (Max level 26262 damage)
Level 5: Deals 8084 damage. (Max level 32489 damage)

Basically, he kills himself and immediately resurrects with increasing match damage, along with a passive AOE whenever there's enough green on the board and a red nuke that, when fully levelled, does 32K damage. Also, once he dies, he comes back with just enough health to be up for a round or two before going down again, which gives true-healers like Okoye (whose power boosts his) and Daredevil (who also throws out strike tiles when he heals) time to top up before taking another round of damage. GEDoom is also a decent partner because he heals on every enemy yellow/black match and can throw out burst healing to give your team some breathing room from the Immortal Hulk death spiral. You could also try using airborne characters like Vulture or Danver5; plus, I wonder if Nightcrawler avoids his AOE.

There is also Phoenix, who gets more powerful after coming back from being downed, and 5 Loki, who comes back if you can match his trap

ah ok. good explanation

I'm kind of obsessed with the resurrection mechanic and this is the first character I've seen where I think it might actually work. I'm also not particularly hardcore about playing competitively anymore so I'm not overly concerned about conserving health packs.

(FYI, I tried 3Thanos and Nightcrawler out together and Nightcrawler still ate the friendly AOE, so take him off the potential partner for Immortal Hulk list)

This one is hilarious. Bishop is total non-entity here:

https://youtu.be/PtT2fGqvfHQ

Immortal Hulk's PVP with Kitty and Beta Ray Bill is hilarious if you can get to 6 red or 6 blue right away; all incoming damage is down to 1 in two turns if you can keep the protects out and once you get Kitty's red out, the opposing IHulk mindlessly AOEs you into flooding the board with attack tiles that Kitty can then buff into oblivion. Alternately, get BRB's blue out and every AOE gives Kitty four more protects to buff.

I’m just a few shards away from champing BRB. Kitty still 3-5-1 so :(

Also I champed Northstar today so :(:(

Honestly you don’t need them champed. My BRB is 5-4-1 and I’ve been getting defensive wins

Yeah I’ve done some matches with zombie hulk brb kitty now and it’s a bit slow but seems unstoppable

Oh mama I just champed BRB

grats

It’s not as game changing as Okoye or even Kitty (I guess •sniff•) but I coasted to 1000 with him in pvp today so

https://d3go.helpshift.com/a/marvel-puzzle-quest/?s=news&f=new-character-super-skrull-classic-4-7-20&l=en

Super Skrull coming on hot as Okoye's new best 4* friend imo

looks great!

I am guessing the passive AP gen from half-health Thor will give you lots of opportunities to fire that blue and purple, both of which will be aggravating for Kitty and BRB. The stunner bros (Worthy, Bishop) will still be a problem, though.

Which of these 4*s should I pump iso into and champ?

Gwenpool
Miles Morales
Nico Minoru
Spider-Woman
X-23
Spider-Man (Infinity War)
Ghost Rider
Nebula

Workin on shards for America Chavez currently; need shards for Riri Williams, Coulson, Iceman, Winter Soldier, Mordo (1 cover away).

Nico is pretty good if you don't have a decent Kitty. The only other one I ever use is Ghost Rider for his black.
