F2P Investment Priority
- Murphy — Your first and most important F2P hero. Tank from Tavern. Take to 5 stars.
- Kimberly ($0.99) — Not free, but the best value in the game. If you spend anything, buy her.
- Violet — Great for PvE and zombies. Upgrade to UR when available.
- Marshall — Good secondary tank for zombie content.
- Scarlett — Upgrade to UR for a solid Missile DPS option.
Skip investing heavily in Venom and Braz — their SSR-to-UR upgrades don't justify the cost compared to other options.
