RNGesus is a bitch. You'll get a shot at her in DDQ every 40'ish days, though, so SOONER or later...

3* AND 5*! I'll probably chase the 3* because at least that way I can have a version I have a reasonable shot at covering.

As I said upthread, can't tell you who to sell without knowing who you've got. Are you in either TROUT or SQUID so I can look?

These days, 4*'s are a little bit more available than before so things have changed a bit, but there are some 4*s that I knew never fit into my style of play so I tossed em. The 3*'s will be your bread and butter as you play more so I'd put a bit more priority on them vs. 4* or even a 5* at this point.

4* are weird, man. They're "essential" which matters for things like progression rewards; even if they aren't close to being usable, they can matter for your ability to reach rewards you want/need (such as HP) and eventually you'll be at the point where you can play in CL7+ for the extra progression covers and the like. On the other hand, if your 2* aren't championed yet, you're a ways off from that being relevant. Definitely want to focus on the 3* in the short-term. Eventually you'll be able to get 4* covers via CP, progression, and the Crash of the Titans. But I don't know where you've been at in terms of reaching progression rewards currently, so...4* are weird, man.

I even made the decision to not accumulate or champion particular 2*'s to save roster slots. I have no Dakens or Wolverines at 2*. Early on, I'd keep guys who you're planning to use instead of hoarding for the long term. As you play more, you can expand your roster at that time.

Daken is the one 2* I haven't rostered. He keeps dropping for me. Stupid RNG.

4* won't mess up your scaling nearly as badly as 5* will, because as your 2* reach champion level, they'll be 94+. That one-cover 4* is only level 70, so any scaling naughtiness you see is going to be entirely your 2* and 3* at work. A 5* will tip those scales, but "how" is a little fuzzier.

A 5* gets treated similarly to a champion 4*, from what I understand, so you may be seeing fights you can't win in PVP as the game looks at the 5* and says "oh yeah you should be seeing 4* teams in your MMR."

PVE/Story is a little different. it used to be that your top 3 or 5 characters by level determined scaling, but supposedly a fix was coming such that number of covers would be weighted more heavily than levels. I don't know what ever came of that.
