    A few months on and it is starting to get real.

    In terms of 5* only Hobgoblin and now Juggerduck are not fully covered.

    In terms of unchamped 5* only the following left:

    Loki, First Captain, Doc Ok, Sersi, Kaine, Odin, Gamora and as of today Gorgon. Sure it's mostly a festering pool of mediocrity but I am nearly there so can't stop now. Just. Need. Iso.

    4* wise I am continuing to ignore Luna Snow and as I was very certain that Sidewinder couldn't stay as he was I didn't chase him at all so those two plus Lackoffistdevil are all that is left there.

    So all of this means I now need a proper plan for ascension.

    Whelp, about a month later and we are getting there.

    Down to Loki, Sersi, Odin, Gamora and Gorgon. I finished Hobgoblin and decided I would champ him next as he isn't bad and he also bags me the 100 Champ 5* milestone and a tasty 100CP. It could'a been Pete but alas not to be.

    If I can continue a pace of 3 per month I should be done with the 5's apart from latest pretty soon which is a bit bonkers considering I took forever to get to 5* land.

    I'm so close...I can almost taste it! I also now have Juggerducky ready to champ meaning my only non complete 5 is Winter Bucky...I'm soon going to be at a point when I don't need iso...until I immediately need it again to start ascending...but more than ever... :s

    Yeah, I had like 8 million iso saved up before ascension. I went through all of it ascending every 4 star I could and still needed millions and millions more to finish just the 4 star tier. I am almost done though.

    I only have four more 4 stars that I can ascend and the rest are newer 4's that will be awhile before I have them maxed and a 13 cover duplicate.

    Juggerducky is champed.

    Winter Soldier is 3/4/4 and Toni 2/3/2 with shards.

    Only Gorgon is left from the Classics (and he ain't been there long!)

    And with that I am basically caught up! Gorgon champed, Winter Bucky covered and just needs iso to champ leaving Toni to finish when she enters tokens. 😎

    Great job! It only just occurred to me that there is an alternative to ascension of 4*s which is just cover swapping those already at 370 instead of creating a dupe. Saves Iso but costs HP. You could alternate between the two to balance resource usage. I'm debating this for a couple of mine because I don't want to buy roster slots. 😀

    I have a number of "bad" 4s at 370 for which I don't have dupes (and don't ever intend to) and have been swapping any further covers that I either win or pull for my favourite 4*. I would definitely say it is a strategy worth considering.

    I have been cover swapping but now I am at a point of probably having to level dupes and ascend. Still, I don't feel pressured on this like I have previous deadlines. This feels... enlightened😎?

    All classic 5s rostered! It took me a lot longer than hothie, but I got there.
    Day: 1357SR: 147
    569/70 rostered (and just 200 more shards needed to roster Kamala Khan)21 @ lvl 330, with 1 fully covered.
    4
    All rostered 70/126 champions
    PlansI'm still focusing ISO on champing 4s for now, but may put a little into my most used 5s sometime soon.
    For the time being, I'll spend my CP on special stores. I just spent what I had (~250) on the new release store and got two covers for Mighty Thor, so I think that worked out well.

    Time for a post-anniversary (and 4th year personal anniversary) update.

    Day: 1460
    SR: 155

    5
    All except Arcade rostered.
    24 @ lvl 330 including
    13 covers: Apocalypse
    12 covers: Shang-chi
    11 covers: Colossus, Kitty Pryde, Dr. Thor
    10 covers: Scarlet Witch

    4
    85/131 champions

    Plans
    Still focusing on those 4s, but getting ever closer to the point where I may start levelling (and even champing?) 5s. Particularly as Colossus, Kitty and Shang all have saved covers now.

    New Year update:

    Day: 1525
    SR: 160

    5*
    All rostered.
    26 @ lvl 330 including
    13 covers: Apocalypse, Colossus, Dr. Thor, Shang-Chi
    12 covers:
    11 covers: Kitty Pryde, Dr. Strange
    10 covers: Ghostpool, Cyclops, Scarlet Witch

    4*
    92/134 champions

    Plans
    Shardmas has resulted in me having 3 more 5*s ready to champ, but also means that I have a much longer list of excuses (i.e. 4*s that I'd like to get champed) to avoid moving to 5* land. :wink:

    I've now reached 300 roster slots, so seems like a good time for an update.

    Day: 1684
    SR: 171

    5*
    All rostered.
    34 @ lvl 330 including
    13 covers: Apocalypse, Colossus, Dr. Strange, Dr. Thor, Scarlet Witch, Shang-Chi
    12 covers: Kitty Pryde
    11 covers: Crystal, Cyclops, Deadpool, Electro, Knull, Riri
    10 covers: Kamala Khan, Magik

    4*
    109/140 champions

    Plans
    Still got some more 4*s with 10+ saved covers who are my focus at the moment. I'm pleased to see that I am champing 4*s at a faster rate than they are being added.

    Post anniversary update.

    Day: 1815
    SR: 181

    5*
    All rostered and all except Peggy has at least 1 cover in each colour.
    46 @ lvl 330 including
    13 covers: Apocalypse, Colossus, Cyclops, Deadpool, Dr. Strange, Dr. Thor, Electro, Kang, Knull, Prof. X, Scarlet Witch, Shang-Chi
    12 covers: BRB, Kitty Pryde, Riri
    11 covers: Abigail Brand, Big Wheel, Carnage, Crystal, Kamala Khan, Magik, Okoye, Venomosaurus Rex, Wong, Yellowjacket
    10 covers: Emma Frost

    4*
    122/145 champions

    Plans
    ...or lack thereof. Not sure I can be bothered with ascension. I started collecting 1*s just to try it out, but the extra work on roster management is just sapping the fun out of it. I got a few ascended 1*s so I guess I'll max champ those before selling them. Otherwise, maybe I'll try it out with 4*s once I have some of those max champed, so in about a decade.

    Time for another post anniversary update.

    Day: 2116
    SR: 199

    5*
    America Chavez overtook my 5s, so I started levelling the ~35 I like the most to 345. I'll probably start levelling them further as ISO resources permit.
    20 of them are now at 13 covers.

    4*
    167/179 champions
    I'm becoming less motivated to champ the rest, so will probably only do so when one is a feeder or looks particularly fun. This'll allow me to use my ISO on the 5s.

    Ascension
    I've picked up a bunch of ascended characters from vaults so I'm obviously going to work on those but otherwise don't feel I have the ISO to spare to go all in on ascension.

    Last season I finally took that last step into 5* land and received this glorious reward.

    Day: 2294
    SR: 211

    5*
    23/108 champions
    16 more fully covered.

    4*
    150/161 champions (someone this is less than last time - I must have forgotten to filter out ascended characters)

    Plans
    Take a break?
    If I fail at that, then just gotta champ them all now. Then maybe start putting some effort into ascension.

    As somebody who literally just finished the 5* tier in terms of all I have left to pursue is Toni I can tell you that not only is it doable but it kept me moving forward. Of course I can't lie - there are better ascended 4s than some 5s so pursuing those might also be worth diverting iso to but it is a long road.

    I am so close to that milestone I can almost taste it. Hopefully by the end of June I'll have Cap champed.

    It takes time and planning (and trying not to feel rushed). I could have had the 5* done a bit sooner, but at times a did detour and ascended a few 4* before I had them Max/Max (here's looking at you Polaris and Juggernaut).

    So cool and yes I definitely ascended a few myself before finishing the 5s but didn't max max the 4s, you have more patience than me!

    I will say it is at times easier to have patience when you don't have the resources to actually spend. I had taken over a year off and after coming back had a lot of catching up to do. Decided to make sure to always champ the latest releases first. Figured I'd get more bang for the buck as they are featured more frequently during that release window.

    After I was comfortable with keeping up with that, it was just trying to knock down each tier from bottom up.

    Once all 3* and 4* were under control, I would champ 1 dupe from each tier (whomever has the most saved covers at that time) to max champ ascend. That way I knew I was always making progress but also wouldn't be looking to scavenge ISO from the 5* that I was working on.

    Can't believe I made it to this. I feel like I officially won MPQ!

    I have now champed all of the Classic 5* in the game. Down to just Toni and Elsa, which is not a problem. Time to start accumulating ISO and knock off dupe 3* and 4* for ascension.

    So sweet, well done matey!
