10 Year Anniversary - Selector Recommendations

The 10 Year Anniversary is giving away the usual T3/TP selectors with the debut of a free Tier-4 Selector.

  • Tier-4 Selector

    Tier-4 Selector

    As Tier-4 is by far the most costly upgrade process, don't opt out of a good pick just because they are already at Tier-3/Transcended or Lv.80. As long as you have not upgraded a character's gears past +25, it should be fine to use the selector on them.

    Selector Pool
    Strong Recommendations
    Hulk [Titan]
    Hulk [Titan]

    Highly versatile PvE character with a fun rotation. Eligible for 1 ABX and 2 ABL restrictions, where he performs about as well as Kingpin and Doctor Octopus as the three metas for those restrictions. Also quite powerful in WBL.
    Works with a proc, but Rage is ideal as he is most useful for ABX/L.

    Thor [All-Father Reborn]
    Thor [All-Father Reborn]

    A nice general PvE character, being Universal helps a lot. Good AoE for mission clearing (e.g. Dispatch), solid damage for WBL, and a good second option for 1 ABX and 2 ABL days (Hero Alien Male, Universal Male).
    Downside is that he is not proc-friendly at all, needing either a Rage or Judgement. He is also not too useful in late-game.

    Venom [Warstar]
    Venom [Warstar]

    A solid WBL-focused character, lacking the ABX/L versatility of Hulk but still being decent at it.
    Quite proc-friendly and you'd want to use a proc C.T.P. on him as his main use is WBL. However note that a purely-WBL focused character is not too useful or versatile overall.

    Maybe Mains

    These characters are pretty good, but aren't that necessary overall. Build them if you like them!

    Captain America [What If... Zombies?!]
    Captain America [What If... Zombies?!]

    This uniform can be very strong in either WBL or PvP (Otherworld/Conquest) depending on how you build him. Ultimately still niche though.

    Doctor Octopus [Ends of the Earth]
    Doctor Octopus [Ends of the Earth]

    Very good for ABX/L along with Hulk and Kingpin, but by far the hardest to play. Hard to recommend when Hulk is also available in this selector, but get him if you don't like Hulk or Kingpin.

    Black Widow [Venomous]
    Black Widow [Venomous]

    Relatively strong PvP character, especially if you have Symbiote supports. Still doesn't match up against the Native Tier-2 or Tier-3 metas in Timeline, but could be good in Otherworld.

    Spider-Man [The Symbiote Suit]
    Spider-Man [The Symbiote Suit]

    Relatively strong PvP character, especially if you have Symbiote supports. Still doesn't match up against the Native Tier-2 or Tier-3 metas in Timeline, but could be good in Otherworld.

    Futureproofing
    Black Bolt
    Black Bolt

    Has not gotten a uniform in a while, hopefully will get his time when Medusa gets a new uniform.
    T4ing for futureproofing reasons is a bit goofy, but both Medusa (when she gets one) and Black Bolt may be required at Tier-4 to clear Dispatch 14-5 if that's something you care about.

  • Tier-3 Selector

    Tier-3 Selector

    Selector Pool
    Strong Recommendations

    These are recommended for all accounts, though newer accounts are more likely to not already have them Tier-3.

    Shuri [Marvel Studios' Black Panther: Wakanda Forever]
    Shuri [Marvel Studios' Black Panther: Wakanda Forever]

    Solid support, gets even better with a lead added with her uniform. A must-have for all accounts.

    Gwenpool [Dark Gwenpool]
    Gwenpool [Dark Gwenpool]

    Fantastic DPS character, especially for newer players due to native Pierce. Needs the uniform to be any good.

    Taskmaster
    Taskmaster

    Another support, but requires the uniform for the support effect. Will get a new uniform with the mid-month, worth waiting to see which one is better.

    She-Hulk
    She-Hulk

    Solid leadership against Male types. Gets better with uniforms, but probably not worth it.

    Green Goblin [Red Goblin]
    Green Goblin [Red Goblin]

    A great Speed Villain Lead/Support character, and pretty decent as a main too as far as Lv.70s go. Will help Gwenpool in ABX, and is also new to this selector.

    Maybe Mains

    These characters are pretty good, but require a uniform purchase and aren't that necessary overall. Build them if you like them!

    Hulk [Titan]
    Hulk [Titan]

    Would be in the Strong Recommendations section if he wasn't in most regular selectors. Extremely strong main and very useful for ABX/L.
    However if you want him, you can also just pick him from the Tier-4 Selector.

    Venom [Warstar]
    Venom [Warstar]

    Pretty good Combat Hero for WBL, though his ABX/L performance is overshadowed by Hulk and Ock, so WBL is likely the only place you will end up using him.
    However if you want him, you can also just pick him from the Tier-4 Selector.

    Minor Supports

    These characters have Lead/Supports that can be somewhat useful in WBL. Get them if you've got all the Strong Recommendations and Maybe Mains (or just aren't interested in the Maybe Mains).

    You can click on the character portraits and go to the Lead/Support tab to view the exact effects.

    Hela
    Hela

    Decent 45% Energy Attack leadership. You can purchase her uniform and use her as a main too, though probably not worth it anymore.

    Ancient One
    Ancient One

    Decent 45% Energy Attack leadership and 25% Elemental Damage passive for Blast Types only.

    Cyclops
    Cyclops

    Minor lead and support that add up to 35% Energy Attack. Loses some points for being in generic Tier-3 Selectors, gains some back as he could get a good new uniform in the future.

  • Transcended Potential Selector

    Transcended Potential Selector

    Unfortunately there aren't any amazing characters to pick from this Selector.

    Selector Pool
    Strong Recommendations
    Sif [Asgard Invasion]
    Sif [Asgard Invasion]

    Not useful as a main, but a very nice dual Lead/Support with the [Asgard Invasion] uniform.

    Medusa
    Medusa

    Technically a "futureproofing" pick, but Medusa is one of the last characters on the rework poll, meaning she will likely get a uniform and Tier-4 very soon.
    This uniform could potentially be useful for several ABX/L days, as well as Dispatch 14-5, which is very hard to clear at the moment.

    Red Guardian [Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts*]
    Red Guardian [Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts*]

    New uniform. Not sure how good it is! Keep an eye on reviews from elsewhere as this probably won't get updated.

    Maybe Mains

    These characters are pretty good, but require a uniform purchase and aren't that necessary overall. Build them if you like them!

    Gamora [Wastelanders]
    Gamora [Wastelanders]

    Good substitute for Speed Female days in ABX/L, though she has a few less restrictions due to being Alien vs Human (like Luna). Good in combination with Gwenpool as together they cover all the Speed restrictions.
    Also proc-friendly and quite strong in WBL if you choose to build her that way.

    Doctor Octopus [Ends of the Earth]
    Doctor Octopus [Ends of the Earth]

    Solid Combat Villain for ABX/L, though he is the hardest to use out of himself, Hulk and Kingpin. Don't pick him if you already have or want to build one of the others.
    Also features in most generic Transcended selectors, so not a great use of this special one.

    Bullseye [Wastelanders]
    Bullseye [Wastelanders]

    Pretty good Speed Villain for ABX with the new uniform, but Gwenpool also covers his day while being more versatile.

    Human Torch
    Human Torch

    Will get a new uniform for the new Fantastic Four movie, and already has a Tier-4.
    It won't be any worse than his current uniform (which is already quite good), so he should be a solid PvE/WBL character.

    Minor Supports

    These characters have Lead/Supports that can be somewhat useful in WBL. Get them if you've got all the Strong Recommendations and Maybe Mains (or just aren't interested in the Maybe Mains).

    You can click on the character portraits and go to the Lead/Support tab to view the exact effects.

    Beast
    Beast

    45% Phys Attack leadership, and a chance to get a uniform and Tier-4 at some point as he is relatively popular.

    Titania
    Titania

    50% Phys Attack leadership but restricted to Combat types. Gets a support for Strong types added on top with her uniform, but likely not worth.

    Moon Girl
    Moon Girl

    36% All Attack leadership, but Blast Female so not a lot of places to use her.

    Futureproofing
    The Thing
    The Thing

    Will get a new uniform and Tier-4 for the new Fantastic Four movie.
    Hasn't been that good from past uniforms, usually just a support - but hopefully this changes.

    Moon Knight
    Moon Knight

    One of the first Tier-4s to not have a subsequent uniform - with a bunch of early Tier-4s getting new uniforms, it might be his time soon.
    Moon Knight is usually very good whenever he gets an upgrade too.

    Beast
    Beast

    As one of the last original X-Men to not have a modern uniform and Tier-4, it seems decently likely he will get an upgrade in the next year or so.
    However Beast has always been a bit crap in this game so it's no guarantee he'll be good even if it happens.
