Do you think 4* champions are still relevant?

I have 15 5* (Only 4-5 usefull) and bunch of 4*s and currently i only focus on my 5* champions but i need more champion for aw and aq for diversty. Should i rank 5 my 4* champions or just wait to open more 5*s? I'm asking this because it's still relatively hard for me to get t4cc and farm gold.

But I still use mine often and if I pull a good one that I don't have as a 5*, I usually take them up and play with them a lot. Because good 4*s can get me through monthly epic on days where I've got 3 champs locked in AQ and 8 locked in War. I used my 4* Claire to beat Surfer last month. I use my 4* human torch in EQ often.
I'd still focus resources on 5*s since they are the way to go and it sounds like you're still building your roster. But if you have a top tier 4* that could help clear some content, do it up. And I wouldn't rank up a crappy 5* over a stellar 4*
I am really happy with my 4 stars, they get that done what I want right now (uncollected eq), but I will be focusing on my 5 stars now, whilst I keep completing stuff with my 4 stars.
Edit: yeah I think it will be good to rank up 4 stars as defenders, but use the rank up gems from story quests
You have to make rank up decisions on a case by case basis, because rank up decisions should be based on how valuable a particular champion is to you, at your particular level of progress, and given all the other roster alternatives you have. That will be unique to you, and different for every champion you pull. General rules about 4* champs in general ignore the specifics of every situation, generally to your detriment.
But I still want every 4* dupe possible. 4*s are my ISO farm. 😊
1. Depends on your progress in game. 4* still meaningful for Act 5 content.
2. Do you have sufficient 4*r5 for arena grinding (I.e. pass thru those death matches).
3. There is no definite answer but my suggestion is to have 12-15 4*r5. I have 22 now.
4. Some champs only have 4* version (e.g. SW, Wolverine) and they are still good for EQ content.
5. Do you want some practice (or first touch feeling) on some champs, which helps you to prioritise your 5* rank up schedule.
personally i used 4* luke cage as my mvp for a lot of paths in act 5, but eventually i ranked up some 5* and he started to lose value for a R4 5* is already more powerful than a maxed out 4*
However
4*'s are EXTREMELY relevant for Iso dupes ~ don't sell your 4*'s kids 😅😅
The one exception to this is for synergy uses for Monthly UC EQ events .. ie the Flaming Trinity. I r5'd my 4* Masacre for use in the monthly UC EQ w. my r5 5* Domino and r1 6*Rulk .. until I was able to pull a 5* version of him.
But once ur rolling w. a full squad of r4's and r5 5*'s (and a decent amount of 6*'s) .. 4*'s are ~ Iso dupe material ,, and for that they are fantastic.
But if you've yet to reach that level of gameplay ~ it's best to work on leveling up the 5*'s you have to r3 over 4*'s to r5.
personal opinion of course
AQ
I used my 4* Blade and GR* extensively for the longest time in AQ Map even as my ally mates were running squads of all r5's. My fights may have been well over 100 hits each (w. GR), but having regen champs is so clutch to AQ for saving pots. GR would clear 80% of the map for me, and Blade w. Danger Sense would address the Symbiods / Sentinels etc .. I do have a r4 5* Blade that is unduped ~ and if I need to bring Blade for any reason to AQ, I would choose my 4* sig 99 version over the 5* unduped version.
Eventually our Ally prestige has gotten too high that they just were not doing it for me .. and I finally pulled some 5* champs that were sustainable for Map use. I now run AQ w. an unduped r5 Omega Red / r4 unduped Mephisto, and a mini counter.
Speaking of mini counters I used a 4* Luke Cage for Morningstar mini and Hype mini for a long time as well (I would time out w. them a fair bit ~ but they would get the job done)
So for AQ .. I could see 4*'s still being of use
But yah in general .. I defer to my original statement ~ really depends on how far along in game, but really ~ if ur @ that point if questioning if they are relevant .. rank ur 5*'s
