More stars or more copies?

Kadavar

I just managed to pick up my second copy of locutus and im stumped on whether to merge to a 2 star copy or have 2 copies of the gauntlet Godfather. I'm leaning to 2 copies, any thoughts on this?

I have multiple copies of a few crew I find extremely useful but I can’t say I would consider doing it for gauntlet. Seems too redundant. Now if you wanted both for say, voyages, I’m totally on board with that

I started a 2nd copy of Locutus. Any Tier 1 crew (or even all the way down to Tier 3, IMO) is worth a dupe.

For locutus, I would definitely merge the first copy. He's potentially useful in gauntlet as a dupe but thats only if he gets a 45% trait + skills match. Which probably happens maybe once a month at best.

Getting the first copy up to 5/5 makes him much more useful as he then becomes usable in events (even though hes got low bases) and also voyages (Hes in the top 30 highest total voyage score)

This. Merge first copy. If you get a sixth one, I would start a duplicate, but you may feel differently when you get there.

This. Merge until you get 5/5. Only then consider a second copy.

I third this one ...

Totally agree with merge. The way you are going you will be starting a dupe, but no need to hurry it.

According to The Big Book, Locutus is in three Collections........

I was going to say, it depends on how many Gold Citations you have leftover from the holiday special. But it appears you chose to merge.

Agreed. Once you have an immortal copy, then worry about extra copies. However, only if the character is worth duplication.

I've already decided that my current two 🌟 Reverend Phlox will be Immortalized by the Campaign, and the extra copy will start a second one. He is useful enough to warrant it, to me.

Among other things, he can be a "breaker" against Defensive Phlox. Current Gauntlet, both are 25%. Reverend Phlox has beat Defensive Phlox every time for me when they faced off so far.
