Need general help on leveling

cooleyo

I'm pretty unclear on the new champion process, and I just read another thread referring to Hero Points getting nerfed. I have 5 maxed 2 stars (Thor, Mags, Storm, OBW, Wolvie) and I have 150K in ISO-8. I have 1150 HP. I'm on day 151 of the SHIELD Resupply. My roster can be found here: http://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/cooleyo/

Questions: If I champion the 2* heroes, will that increase their level from 94 to 144? I think I saw it improves it by 50, but then I think I saw someone else reference 166 as a cap.
If I champion the hero, is he/she still eligible for the 2 star challenges on DDQ? I'm guessing so, but just verifying that you don't have to do the DDQ with a "pure" 2*.
Will increasing all the 2* to max champion make PVE story enemies more challenging?
Any upside to not championing a hero (other than saving ISO)?
Do I understand that I will get 3 3* Mag covers for championing 2* Mag?
I'm using the free to play model and as such haven't bought HP. Will HP still be used for roster space in the future? Should I spend HP quickly if they are moving to new currency or nerfing the current?

I'm currently in a public alliance that doesn't do much, I'd be interested in joining a more active alliance, please PM me if interested.

Thanks for any and all input!

Hero Points are not going away. You just won't be able to upgrade a character's powers with them. They can still be used for roster slots, pvp shields, token purchases, health packs and boosts.

It will increase the level cap to 144, correct. We need to use one of their their covers to increase 1 level. (So it takes 50 covers to get them maxed)

The 166 might be a typo/mistake.

They are still eligible. Correct.

It depends on the other characters in our roster. Your online roster still has all the characters at their base levels, but you've mentioned in your post that 5 of your 2*s are maxed. If the number of covers are correct, that means your 2*s currently have the highest levels? If that's the case, then increasing all your 2*s to max champion will make PVE enemies more challenging.

Not as far as I'm aware.

Yes. For a complete list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cDCzOzQPZ0juvWhiID8POYsQMQR27sTPyLhupCYcInY/edit#gid=673002743

At the moment, it seems that way.

I can't give you any advice on this particular matter, because I don't know the best answer to that.

Try posting here if you haven't already done so.

This was hugely helpful, thank you for taking the time. I'll check the roster I posted, I spent a lot of time inputting all the covers I have. I have 35 heroes in all, with none above the 94 level that my 5 2* are at. I'm mainly getting 3 covers off the Big Enchilada and from random vault visits.

Thanks again!

Ah, thank you. I haven't been using HP to upgrade powers anyway as they are hard for me to come by (using them mainly for roster slots).
