How many 4* R5's is considered enough?

I currently have 6 4* R5's - Starlord, Gwenpool, Voodoo, Hyperion, Archangel and Ghost Rider.

This is enough for both an AQ team and AW team.

I just reached enough resources to bring up another Tech champ to R5 - Ultron, Green Goblin, AOU Vision, or Yondu.

My question is at one point should I stop using resources to R5 4*s and focus on 5*s instead?

I have not had any luck pulling 5*s so far - Rhino (Sig 40), Iron Fist, Iron Man, Ant-Man, and Old Man Logan

I have quite a few 4* options still if you think it would address a specific need - Iceman, Magik, Scarlet Witch, Cap WWII, Dorm, X23, Crossbones, etc.

I just started doing AQ Map 5 and currently on 5.3 in story mode.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Based on your roster i would recommend a power control champ like AOU Vision. Plus hes bleed and poison immune.

    No telling when 5* might become more available and like most we pool useless ones anyways. So if you can manage to hold onto your t4CC i would. Personally the only champ i have r5 in months was Iceman. The rest go to r4.

    Look at what area's in the game give you trouble, and then rank specific champs that help you progress that part. If there are none, then save your materials for a good 5 star.

    For instance, x23 would be great for AQ, but if you clear AQ every time without a sweat, then you don't NEED her.

    Depends…

    If your 4* roster is rich with utility while you have a bad 5* roster than I’d consider always having some candidates to deal with overflow catalysts.

    For example:
    Barring 5* Angela, Hyperion, King Groot, Drax or otherwise I’m highly considering 4* Angela for r5

    Same with tech because both IP and IM pale compared to both 4* AND 5* Ultron as neither stark tech is duped

    But if I’m packing 5* Hyperion soon or am lucky to spin a 5* stark Spider or Yondu I’ll HAPPILY rank them over any 4*

    you mean you aren't saving for 6 stars ?

    After 19 months, I still do not have enough T4CCs to do a first rank 5.

    By the time I get there, 6* should be out which means ... don't even bother to rank 5 4* champs?

    How do you not have T4CC's to rank 5 a 4* champ after 19 months? I've been playing since Xmas and have 4 at R5 with a couple more almost ready.

    Sounds like you need an ally that rocks AQ Map 5...

    To the OP, I would only R5 a champ that I genuinely use every day for content like AQ and AW. Maybe a couple more if you need the utility (like Vision's immunity).

    The only other thought would be to R5 Scarlet because she isn't available as a 5* (yet). Otherwise, I'd start stock-piling cats for the day you get legit 5* champs...

    There's really no such thing as enough, in terms of Ranking. If you want to Rank more, then keep Ranking. If you have specific goals in mind, that is a different story.

    You must be really special or spend a lot of $$$, or run in a top tier ally. I have been playing for over 2 years and only have 1 r5 4*.

    Well, I play real slow.
    Been thinking about what are my goals for the game.

    I suppose completing Act 4 will be priority, and then deciding whether to gun for the 4* basic old less wanted champs. I should be able to get Groot and awaken Raccoon.

    I wonder what can be next? It seems like everyone is just ranking the same champs over at different tiers.
    If so, maybe I should skip to rank 4* to level 5.

    Depends really I had a full r5 aq aw attack and defence and could still quest with r5. I have moved to any old 5 up. I am prepared for more t2a add ins and what not. Really the decision depends on you. If you get t4c at crazy rates get those 5 up if you are struggling to acquire them then plan on the champ that you would benefit from now. Bypassing a 4* aa for a 5* col is crazy talk but if your not gonna use him and have overflow the 5 up just for higher defensive rating with new diversity scheme is legit. All depends on where you're at in game.

    Not being near to my first R5(coming close to 3 of science cats with OG cap and Rulk as my only R4 science lol) I would say that holding a full inventory and ranking from stash if possible is probably a wise move.

    Coming up on 2yrs ingame.

    IMO, at minimum you should have 6 for AQ and AW attack. If you start to overflow on saving, build a quest team you can use at same time as AQ and AW. Last, which you really don’t need, would be a AW defense team. I don’t recommend it unless you are in a war focused alliance that requires it, but most of us are not.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone! I went with Ultron since I've duped him a few times and Vision isn't awakened yet. Enjoying the double immune and regeneration in AQ to offset suicides :)

    I would still rather pull some good 5*s and focus resources into those but it seems that's a rarity for everyone.

    Sadly it is. I wouldn't put more than one 4* at r5 for each class, and would look at utility and how useful they'd be for any situation. Ultrons always a safe choice.

    For me my reasoning is only for arenas. I'd like the comfort of having maxed out r5's to more easily and realistically grind for shards and champs.
