How to manage scaling with my roster & Surfer

I had my roster of 3's hovering at 94 for a long time. I finally decided to level up after saving about 750K ISO. PvP seemed to be going a lot better, I was able to progress significantly more than my 400-550 ceilings. Shortly after I got Silver Surfer and now it's difficult to break 400 some times. Any tips based on my roster? I dont want to love surfer, but I miss those rewards from PvP and have shifted to grinding more PvE to hopefully get more covers and ISO to level everyone up as high as possible.

    Welcome to the post-$$ world of the 3* player.

    Similar to you, I had about 20 nearly finished 3*s hovering at 94 when I "luckily" drew my $$. My scaling and MMR shot through the stratosphere, at which point I leveled all my capable 3*s to 120, which did not help any in PvE and not much in PvP.

    I'm now at 130 with all the 3*s that could push that high, and all the others are filled in behind them (127, 114, 102, etc.), and not much has changed for the better.

    I cannot count in surviving an essential PvE node, and my PvP opponents are roughly level 240+.

    Wish I had answers, but I can at least acknowledge that you're not crazy.

    One option it to take out a second mortgage and whale a couple 5*s. Not ideal but it'll solve your scaling and MMR problems. You'll make D3 happy too.

    I also recently acquired, not 1 but 2 OML and my scaling shot up enough that I am unable to compete in PVE anymore.
    I have no usable 4stars, non higher than 166 level. have about 15 3* at 166. I can't hit 1000 in pvp, can no longer beat pve, then to rub salt in the wound, I last legendary token I was hoarding since I realized I prob won't be getting any more turned out to be SS. i know they are tough to acquire, but the game just isn't fun when you can't compete without wasting $ and/or 6hours per day in any of the events!. I'm taking a short break, and really hope they fix this issue, because it was a pretty great game!

    My roster is very similar to yours (about 16x 3* maxed) and I can still play PVE and hit 1k most of the time in PVP. I only have 1 OML and 1 SS covers, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. I'm surprised you're struggling so much in PVE. I hardly use health packs for PVE now, mainly all reserved for PVP.

    Basically, you need to set aside 3-4 teams to tackle PVE. The three easy nodes can easily be beaten/grinded by your 2* rosters. That leaves the three harder nodes for your A team of 166s. The essential nodes is normally another team or 2. Do not attempt to beat every node with a single team. That's just going to burn your health packs. For PVP, it's normally 1-2 teams. A quick climbing team and a defensive team. Don't be afraid of fighting maxed 4* teams. You'll be surprised that with a little ap boosts and good team ups, that these team are not invincible like their levels suggests.

    I rostered SS while having just gotten going on my 3* transition and it seemed to effect my scaling, but not catastrophically. I've still consistently gotten progression and acceptable rankings in pve. I hadn't been playing much pvp beforehand, but lately I've consistently gotten to the 650 token and at least top 100 in those too. I have had some luck with featured characters though. I'd be really pissed off if the effects were worse, since I only use SS for fun in pve sometimes but I do even that rarely. If I hadn't had a passable Lcap waiting to be leveled, the effects would probably have been much worse.
