So I thought this was worth bringing up.

I have quite a few duped 4* champs and there are ones which I'm definitely happy to have brought to sig99 - like Ms Marvel, Scarlet Witch and Star Lord.

My question is - which champs benefit from raising the sig as much as possible and which ones can are more or less okay to dupe once or bring up to say, sig50-60?

I've been raising my 5/50 Elektra, but I've recently wondered if I would be better spent putting the ponits in Hawkeye - how much will he benefit?

Quake, too, is getting my sig stones over both Caps and Yellowjacket - is this the right choice?

Dr Strange - should I be lookng to max his sig or no?

Wolverine seems to be the best Mutant investment for sig stones - but when is enough for Nightcrawler, Iceman, Psylocke, Archangel, Cable etc. ?

    Besides what you already stated about SW and SL. I just bring most of my champs to sig lvl 50. Ill let the dupes take them up further than that if I get them.

    I have wolvie at 5/50 sig 82 and he constantly regens. Very useful. I have cap ww2 5/50 at sig 43 and don't see him getting any better as I get going past this.

    id say ->

    sig 99 absolute must - black widow, sw, sl, dd og
    sig 80-99 great to have - wolvie, rogue, ironfist, voodoo, red magneto, gwenpool, spidey classic

    rest pretty much is enough to have sig 40-50. This is from my experience ofc

    I'd pick hawkeye over Elektra, her sig is cool but its not what make her great.

    There was a resource out there that broke down- mathematically - when you begin to see minimal improvement from sig levels. I will go digging to see if I can find it. However, the numbers referred to the sig numbers not necessarily the usefulness. If i remember correctly, many champs were at like 20 or 30, even champs like starlord, sw, ogdd, and bw. These champs obviously benefit from high high sigs, but the step increase per sig is so low, mathematically its not worth it. I suggest really reading into a champions sig and deciding for yourself based upon how you play the game.

    From my personal experience, I maxed the sig of sw, sl, cap wwii, crossbones, and wolv. I am currently working on carnage/phoenix, voodoo, and saving the other classes. I personally have chosen to work on prestige as well as usefulness. I don't have a cosmic 4* i regularly use, so I upgraded for prestige. Crossbones and WWII are still a part of my war team. With the amount of buffs in war, WWII rarely receives blocking damage. Crossbones sig allows me to ALMOST treat him as bleed/poison immune as well as able to handle defensive abilities. I used him for the spidey quest, and I could honestly get hit by a combo from spidey, crossbones would convert 3-5 of the armor breaks to furies, and spidey would never evade again. For me, crossbones worked out great! But it's up to your play style and what you need in a champ.

    I used Elektra for webslinger and have resonate so just needed to get that first debuff on. Final.Strike really came in handy because it basically means you don't have to work at all to take out the last Quarter of health.

    That said, I think I'll bring it to 80 and then work on Hawkeye - if I dupe her again I'll max her sig and (I think) get a max sig Crystal so my new thinking is to bring any champ that doesn't have to be 99 (SL, SW, Marvel, Vision, Voodoo, Gwenpool, Crossbones, Wolverine, X23, WW2) to sig 80.

    Check out this community sheet:

    Previous poster was right about a few really needing 99 and some not. Optimum level does depend on champ, esp. now with the mix of flat values.

    Every 4* Champ i decide to go R5 will recive Sig99. There is a thought behind Ranking a Champ to max.
    What brings me the ideal siglevel for my R3/30 which will never be played outside the arena?
    Only argument is PI increase if you have 2 R5 of the same class

    just my 2 Cents

    This was really useful, thanks.

    As I suspected, the return investment for Quake isn't very high unless you're facing off against bosses, so I may stop her at sig 40.

    No info on nightcrawler though - I'd like to know where his damage is capped.
