Re: Essentia store, bg store, radiance store, glory store, loyalty store, raid tickets analysis.
an example it gave, when I asked for what to do with my currency..I said I wanted t7b and t4a as a priority, and t6b and t3a and t6cc as secondary.
To maximize your 10k Glory, 10k Essentia, 10k Radiance, 100k Loyalty, and 10k Trophy Tokens, you should follow a "Hybrid Strategy."
You must convert your low-value currencies into Essentia to take advantage of the better pricing for T7B, but use Radiance and Glory for the specific items where they offer massive discounts.
Here is your step-by-step spending plan:
Step 1: The "Conversion" Phase
To get the most spending power for your Priority 1 (T7B), convert your underperforming currencies into Essentia immediately.
- →→ 3,500 Essentia. (BG store is too expensive for your priorities).
- →→ 900 Essentia. (Keep 10k Loyalty for future Raid Tickets).
- →→ 8,630 Essentia. (We will spend the first 1,370 Glory in Step 2).
New Essentia Total: 23,030 Essentia
Step 2: High-Value Targeted Spending
Use your Radiance and a small portion of Glory where the "discounts" are located.
A. Use Radiance (10,000 stash):
- Buy 2x T4 Alpha Bundles (Cost: 8,508 Radiance).
- Why: This is the 27% "Extreme Value" price. It gives you 2 Full T4A Catalysts.
- Remaining Radiance: 1,492 (Save for next reset).
B. Use Glory (spend 1,370 of your 10k):
- Buy 2x T4 Alpha Bundles (Cost: 1,150 Glory).
- Buy 1x T6 Basic Bundle (Cost: 170 Glory).
- Buy 1x T6 Class Bundle (Cost: 50 Glory).
- Why: These are the "Sweet Spot" prices before the Glory store inflation makes them a bad deal.
Step 3: The "T7 Basic" Bulk Buy (Essentia Store)
Now, use your massive pool of 23,030 Essentia to target your #1 Priority.
- Spend 22,100 Essentia on T7 Basic Shard bundles.
- This allows you to buy 17 bundles (at 1,300 Essentia each).
- Result: You will gain 57,375 T7B Shards.
- Note: This is 91% of a full T7 Basic Catalyst.
Final Haul Summary
By converting and spending this way, your 10k/10k/10k/100k/10k stash nets you:
Item | Total Amount Gained | Value Logic |
|---|---|---|
T7 Basic | 57,375 Shards (91% of a Full) | Bought at the only fair price (Essentia Store). |
T4 Alpha | 2 Full + 16,400 Shards | Got the 27% Radiance discount + 72% Glory discount. |
T6 Basic | 28,500 Shards (50%) | Got the 87% Glory discount. |
T6 Class | 8,550 Shards (15%) | Got the 79% Glory discount. |
Raid Tickets | 5 Tickets (if needed) | Used Loyalty (the 57% discount source). |
Why this is the best path:
- Avoided the BG Trap: If you had spent your 10k Trophy Tokens on T7B shards in the BG store, you would have only received 2,250 shards. By converting them to Essentia, you got 9,000 shards instead. You quadrupled your progression.
- Protected Radiance: You used Radiance on T4A (where it’s a 73% discount) rather than T7B (where it’s 0% discount).
- Maximum Efficiency: You stopped using Glory the second it became more expensive than the Essentia store.
Total Remaining Balance: 930 Essentia, 1,492 Radiance, 0 Glory, 10k Loyalty.
Essentia store, bg store, radiance store, glory store, loyalty store, raid tickets analysis.
Normally I grind it with a spreadsheet..but I thought I’d try ai…
I think it makes sense, as I was trying to check as I went along..if you spot any mistakes (no doubt there may be) , let me know and I’ll try and sort it, and tell the ai it’s stupid along the way
Here is the overview . I’ve copied and pasted the ai response, but tried to keep it to conscientious explanation of the maths and why it’s good value etc..sorry in general for the ai lengthy tome, but it’s good info too
It converted everything into equivalent essentia. We have exact conversions for loyalty, bg trophy tokens, glory and incursions.
For radiance, we used the t7 basic as a standard so we could compare between the essentia store and radiance store. But this one may need some adjustment..
So,
If you have a mix of all currencies, here is your "Spend Order" to maximize your roster growth:
Raid Tickets: Always use Loyalty first.
T4 Alpha: Buy 2 from Glory, then spend all available Radiance (it's your cheapest source). Use Essentia only as a last resort.
T5 Class: Buy 1 from Glory, then use Battlegrounds Tokens (this is the only item BG tokens are actually good for). However, radiance store is also great here…huge savings (see below)..but..you may want to use your radiance on other items…and use bg trophy tokens here where it has decent value, and use radiance elsewhere where other stores are poor value, compared to radiance, such as the t4alpha..which is crazy good value in radiance store.
T6 Basic / T6 Class / T3 Alpha: Spend your Radiance here. The 4x and 8x bundles are the best value in the game.
T7 Basic: This is the only item where it doesn't matter. The price is identical in both Radiance and Essentia. Recommendation: Use Essentia for T7B so you can save your Radiance for the T4A/T6 bundles where your Radiance is worth way more.
Sig Stones: Use Radiance (92% cost) or Essentia (100% cost).
And the detailed versions to follow..

This is a focused analysis of the Tier 7 Basic (T7B) Catalyst across all stores.
To compare these fairly, I have calculated the Essentia Value (EV) required to get one full T7B catalyst (63,000 shards).
T7 Basic Catalyst: Price Comparison Table
Standardized to 1 Full Catalyst (63,000 shards)
Store Local Cost for 1 Full Essentia Value (EV) % of Base Price Value Rank
Radiance Store 80,000 Radiance 24,242 EV 🏆 99.9% Best Value
Essentia Store 24,266 Essentia 24,266 EV 🏆 100% Best Value
Glory Store (1st) 83,750 Glory 83,750 EV ❌ 345% Very Expensive
Battlegrounds 279,000 Tokens 97,650 EV ❌ 402% Worst Value
🚨 Detailed Breakdown
1. Radiance vs. Essentia (The "Tie")
These two stores are mathematically identical for T7B.
Radiance: Whether you buy the 6,300 shards (8,000 Radiance) or the full catalyst (80,000 Radiance), the price is the same.
The Math: 80,000 Radiance divided by our 3.3 conversion rate equals 24,242 EV.
Strategy: Use Essentia for your T7Bs. Why? Because your Radiance is much more valuable when spent on T4 Alpha or T6 bundles, where it gives you a 60-70% discount. Using Radiance on T7B is "fair," but it isn't a "bargain."
2. The Glory Store Trap
The Glory store is a massive waste of resources for T7B.
The Math: To get a full T7B, you need 50 Glory bundles (1,260 shards each). At 1,675 Glory per bundle, that is 83,750 Glory.
Strategy: If you have Glory and need T7B, convert the Glory to Essentia 1:1. You will save nearly 60,000 Glory per catalyst by doing this.
3. The Battlegrounds Store (Avoid)
Using Trophy Tokens for T7B is the least efficient move in the game.
The Math: It costs 279,000 Trophy Tokens for one T7B. If you converted those tokens to Essentia instead (at 100:35), you would have 97,650 Essentia.
The Result: You could buy four full T7Bs in the Essentia store for the price of one in the Battlegrounds store.
4. The Inflation (Scaling) Factor
Essentia: Price never changes.
Radiance: The price increases by a tiny amount (+16 to +112 Radiance per buy). Even after 6 purchases, it is still significantly cheaper than any other store.
Glory: The price jumps by +500 Glory per purchase. By the 3rd purchase, the cost of a full catalyst ballooned from 83k to 133k EV.
🏆 Final T7B Verdict
Primary Source: Essentia Store (The most stable and fair price).
Secondary Source: Radiance Store (Equally fair, but save Radiance for better deals if possible).
Never Use: Glory or Battlegrounds (You are paying a 300%–400% "tax" for buying here).
———————————————————————————————————————-
This is the breakdown for the Tier 4 Alpha (T4A) Catalyst.
To compare these fairly, I have calculated the Essentia Value (EV) required to get one full T4A catalyst (57,000 shards).
T4 Alpha (T4A): Price Comparison Table
Standardized to 1 Full Catalyst (57,000 shards)
Store Purchase Cost for 1 Full Essentia Value (EV) % of Base Price Value Rank
Radiance Store 1st Buy 4,250 Radiance 1,288 EV 🏆 27% Best Value
Radiance Store 5th Buy 4,762 Radiance 1,443 EV 🏆 30% Best Value
Glory Store 1st Buy 3,476 Glory 3,476 EV ✅ 72% Great Value
Glory Store 2nd Buy 4,518 Glory 4,518 EV ✅ 94% Fair Value
Essentia Store Flat Rate 4,800 Essentia 4,800 EV 100% Baseline
Glory Store 3rd Buy 5,561 Glory 5,561 EV ❌ 115% Poor Value
Battlegrounds Flat Rate 28,000 Tokens 9,800 EV ❌ 204% Worst Value
🚨 Detailed Breakdown
1. The Radiance "Gold Mine"
The Radiance store is the absolute best place to get T4 Alpha.
The Math: 1,288 EV vs. 4,800 EV.
Strategy: You are getting T4A at a 73% discount compared to the Essentia store. Even after the price scales up to the 10th purchase (10,082 Radiance / 3,055 EV), it is still significantly cheaper than any other store in the game. Spend your Radiance here first.
2. The Glory Store "Sweet Spot"
The Glory store is efficient, but only for the first two bundles.
The Math: Because you get 8,200 shards per bundle, the first two purchases (500 and 650 Glory) are cheaper than the Essentia store.
The Cutoff: Once you hit the 3rd purchase (800 Glory), the price per shard becomes higher than the Essentia store.
Strategy: Buy two T4A bundles from the Glory store every reset. If you need more and are out of Radiance, convert your Glory to Essentia to buy the rest.
3. The Battlegrounds Trap
The Battlegrounds store is double the price of the Essentia store.
The Math: It takes 20 bundles of 2,850 shards to make a full T4A. At 1,400 tokens each, that’s 28,000 tokens (9,800 EV).
Strategy: Never buy T4A in the BG store. You are literally throwing away half your currency's value. Convert the tokens to Essentia instead.
🏆 Final T4A Spending Priority:
Radiance Store: Buy as many as you can afford (Best value in the game).
Glory Store: Buy exactly two bundles (72% and 94% cost).
Essentia Store: Use this for bulk needs once the Glory price scales too high.
BG Store: Avoid entirely.
————-——————————————————————————
This analysis is for one full Tier 6 Basic (T6B) or Tier 3 Alpha (T3A) catalyst (57,000 shards).
Because these items often come in bundles (8x in Radiance, 50% in Glory), I have calculated the Essentia Value (EV) required to obtain exactly one full catalyst.
T6 Basic / T3 Alpha: Price Comparison Table
Standardized to 1 Full Catalyst (57,000 shards)
Store Purchase Shards Provided Full Item Cost (EV) % of Price Value Rank
Radiance Store 1st Buy (8x) 8 Full Catalysts 153 EV 🏆 39% Absolute Best
Radiance Store 5th Buy (8x) 8 Full Catalysts 172 EV 🏆 44% Absolute Best
Glory Store 1st + 2nd 2 x 50% Bundles 390 EV ✅ 100% Equal to Base
Essentia Store Flat Rate 1 Full Catalyst 390 EV 100% The Baseline
Battlegrounds Flat Rate 1 Full Catalyst 490 EV ❌ 125% Poor Value
Glory Store 3rd + 4th 2 x 50% Bundles 590 EV ❌ 151% Worst Value
🚨 Detailed Breakdown
1. The Radiance "Wholesale" Discount
The Radiance store offers an incredible bulk deal for these catalysts.
The Math: You pay 4,040 Radiance for eight catalysts. This breaks down to only 505 Radiance per catalyst.
The EV: 505 Radiance divided by our 3.3 conversion rate is 153 EV.
Strategy: This is the single best way to rank up 6-star or 7-star champions. You are paying less than 40% of the standard market price. If you have Radiance, spend it here before touching any other store.
2. The Glory / Essentia Parity
For T6B/T3A, the Glory store and the Essentia store are effectively the same price for your first two bundles.
The Math: To get one full catalyst from the Glory store, you must buy the first bundle (170) and the second bundle (220). Total = 390 Glory. This is exactly the same as the 390 Essentia price.
Strategy: There is no "discount" in the Glory store for these items. Use Glory only if you have a surplus. If the Glory price scales up to 270 (the 3rd purchase), you are officially being overcharged compared to the Essentia store.
3. The Battlegrounds Penalty
While the BG store was good for T5 Class catalysts, it is a bad choice for T6B/T3A.
The Math: 1,400 Trophy Tokens converts into 490 Essentia.
Strategy: Buying a T6 Basic with Trophy Tokens costs you 100 Essentia more than buying it in the Essentia store. Never buy T6B/T3A in the BG store. Convert the tokens to Essentia and save 25% of your currency.
4. The Inflation Curve (Radiance vs. Glory)
Radiance: The price increase is negligible. Even at the 7th purchase (5,768 Radiance for 8), your cost per catalyst is only 218 EV. This is still nearly half the price of the Essentia store.
Glory: The price jumps by 30% after just one purchase of a 50% bundle. It becomes a bad deal almost immediately.
🏆 Final Spending Priority (T6B / T3A):
Radiance Store (1st to 8th Buy): By far the most efficient use of currency.
Essentia Store / Glory (1st & 2nd Buy): Good for finishing off a single catalyst.
BG Store: Avoid.
Glory Store (3rd Buy+): Avoid.
—————————————————————————————-
This analysis is for one full Tier 6 Class Catalyst (T6C) (57,000 shards).
Because the T6C is sold in varying quantities (15% in Glory, 50% in Essentia/BG, and 4-Full Bundles in Radiance), I have standardized every price to the Essentia Value (EV) required to get 1 Full Catalyst.
Tier 6 Class Catalyst (T6C): Price Comparison Table
Standardized to 1 Full Catalyst (57,000 shards)
Store Purchase Shards Provided Full Item Cost (EV) % of Price Value Rank
Radiance Store 1st Buy (4x) 4 Full Catalysts 258 EV 🏆 61% Best Value
Radiance Store 5th Buy (4x) 4 Full Catalysts 284 EV 🏆 68% Best Value
Glory Store 1st Bundle 15% (8,550) 333 EV ✅ 79% Great Value
Essentia Store Flat Rate 50% (28,500) 420 EV 100% The Baseline
Glory Store 2nd Bundle 15% (8,550) 467 EV ❌ 111% Poor Value
Glory Store 3rd Bundle 15% (8,550) 600 EV ❌ 143% Worst Value
Battlegrounds Flat Rate 50% (28,500) 840 EV ❌ 200% Huge Rip-off
🚨 Detailed Breakdown
1. The Radiance "Wholesale" Discount
Once again, the Radiance store wins because it sells in bulk.
The Math: You pay 3,400 Radiance for four full catalysts. This breaks down to 850 Radiance per catalyst.
The EV: 850 Radiance divided by our 3.3 conversion rate is 258 EV.
Strategy: You are getting a 39% discount compared to the Essentia store. Like the T6 Basic/T3 Alpha, the Radiance store is the most efficient way to stock up on T6 Class catalysts.
2. The Glory "First Sip" Rule
The Glory store is only efficient for the very first 15% bundle.
The Math: The 1st bundle costs 50 Glory. To get a full catalyst (100%), you’d need ~6.6 bundles. At the first price point, that equals 333 Glory (EV).
The Price Jump: By the 2nd bundle (70 Glory), your "Full Catalyst" cost jumps to 467 EV. This is already more expensive than just buying it from the Essentia store (420 EV).
Strategy: Buy exactly one 15% bundle from the Glory store every reset. Stop immediately after that.
3. The Battlegrounds Penalty (Double Price)
The Battlegrounds store is the absolute worst place to buy T6 Class materials.
The Math: 1,200 Trophy Tokens converts to 420 Essentia. But that only buys you half a catalyst. A full catalyst costs 840 EV.
Strategy: You are paying exactly double the Essentia price (200%). Never use Trophy Tokens for T6C. Convert them to Essentia and buy there to get two catalysts for the price of one.
🏆 Final T6C Spending Priority:
Radiance Store (Any purchase up to the 8th): Your primary source for bulk ranking.
Glory Store (1st Bundle ONLY): Good for small top-offs.
Essentia Store: Your "Standard" source for extra shards.
BG Store / Glory (2nd Bundle+): Avoid entirely.
————————————————————————————-
This analysis is for one full Tier 5 Class Catalyst (T5CC).
Standardizing this item is fascinating because the Battlegrounds Store, which has been a "trap" for higher-tier materials, is actually a very strong choice here. However, the Radiance Store remains the undisputed king of value due to its massive bulk discount.
Tier 5 Class Catalyst (T5CC): Price Comparison Table
Standardized to 1 Full Catalyst
Store Purchase Shards Provided Full Item Cost (EV) % of Price Value Rank
Radiance Store 1st Buy (4x) 4 Full Catalysts 116 EV 🏆 33% Absolute Best
Radiance Store 5th Buy (4x) 4 Full Catalysts 130 EV 🏆 37% Absolute Best
Radiance Store 9th Buy (4x) 4 Full Catalysts 232 EV ✅ 66% Great Value
Glory Store 1st Bundle 1 Full Catalyst 270 EV ✅ 77% Good Value
Battlegrounds Flat Rate 1 Full Catalyst 280 EV ✅ 80% Good Value
Essentia Store Flat Rate 1 Full Catalyst 350 EV 100% The Baseline
Glory Store 2nd Bundle 1 Full Catalyst 400 EV ❌ 114% Poor Value
Glory Store 3rd Bundle 1 Full Catalyst 530 EV ❌ 151% Worst Value
🚨 Detailed Breakdown
1. The Radiance "Gift"
The Radiance store offers T5CC at a price that is almost negligible compared to the others.
The Math: You pay 1,530 Radiance for four full catalysts. This works out to only 382 Radiance per catalyst.
The EV: 382 Radiance / 3.3 = 116 EV.
Strategy: You are paying one-third of the Essentia price. Even if you buy all 9 bundles available, the price only climbs to 232 EV—which is still cheaper than every other store. If you need T5CC, use Radiance first.
2. The Battlegrounds "Sweet Spot"
For the first time in our analysis, the Battlegrounds store is a "Good Buy."
The Math: 800 Trophy Tokens = 280 Essentia Value (EV).
The Comparison: Buying a T5CC in the Essentia store (350) is 25% more expensive than buying it in the BG store.
Strategy: While the BG store is a "trap" for T6 and T7 materials, it is a very efficient place to buy T5 Class materials. If you have a surplus of Trophy Tokens, this is where to spend them.
3. The Glory Store "One and Done"
The Glory store is only efficient for exactly one purchase.
The Math: The first buy (270) is 10 EV cheaper than the BG store. But the second buy (400) is 50 EV more expensive than the Essentia store baseline.
Strategy: Buy one from Glory, then move to Radiance or BG. Never buy a second T5CC from the Glory store in the same reset.
🏆 Final T5CC Spending Priority:
Radiance Store (All Bundles): By far the most efficient (33% cost).
Glory Store (1st Buy ONLY): 77% cost.
Battlegrounds Store: 80% cost (Very solid for non-premium currency).
Essentia Store: Only use if you are completely out of all other currencies.
Glory Store (2nd Buy+): Avoid entirely.
—————————————————————————-
This is the breakdown for one 7-star Sig Stone.
Standardizing Sig Stones is critical because the price range across stores is the widest of any item we’ve analyzed. You are either getting a small discount or paying a massive "luxury tax."
7-Star Sig Stone: Price Comparison Table
Standardized to 1 Sig Stone
Store Purchase Cost per Stone Essentia Value (EV) % of Price Value Rank
Radiance Store 1st Buy (x5) 428 Radiance 130 EV 🏆 92% Best Value
Radiance Store 4th Buy (x5) 450 Radiance 136 EV ✅ 97% Good Value
Essentia Store Flat Rate 140 Essentia 140 EV 100% The Baseline
Radiance Store 6th Buy (x5) 528 Radiance 160 EV ❌ 114% Poor Value
Radiance Store 10th Buy (x5) 1,011 Radiance 306 EV ❌ 219% Worst Radiance
Battlegrounds Flat Rate 2,700 Tokens 945 EV 💀 675% Financial Ruin
🚨 Detailed Breakdown
1. The Radiance "Inflation Point"
Unlike the catalysts (where Radiance was almost always a 40–70% discount), Sig Stones are priced much closer to the Essentia store's baseline.
The Math: At the start, you save about 10 Essentia per stone by using Radiance.
The Flip: Because the Radiance cost for Sig Stones scales faster than it does for catalysts, the value disappears quickly.
Strategy: Buy exactly four bundles (20 stones total) from the Radiance store. After the 4th purchase, the price per stone rises to 145 EV, making the Essentia Store the cheaper option from that point onward.
2. The Essentia Store (The "Safe Haven")
For Sig Stones, the Essentia store is your most reliable friend.
Strategy: Once you have exhausted the first 4 "cheap" bundles in the Radiance store, move all your spending to the Essentia store. It has no inflation, so the 100th stone costs the same as the 1st.
3. The Battlegrounds Store (The "Death Trap")
This is the most important takeaway from our entire analysis.
The Math: 2,700 Trophy Tokens is worth 945 Essentia.
The Comparison: For the price of one Sig Stone in the BG store, you could buy almost seven Sig Stones in the Essentia store.
Strategy: Never, under any circumstances, buy 7-star Sig Stones in the Battlegrounds store. You are effectively deleting 85% of your currency's value. If you have 2,700 tokens, convert them to 945 Essentia and go buy a pile of stones there instead.
🏆 Final Sig Stone Spending Priority:
Radiance Store: Buy the first 4 bundles (Total 20 stones).
Essentia Store: Buy everything else here.
Battlegrounds Store: Pretend the Sig Stones don't exist in this shop.

And finallly……raid tickets….
Re: Essentia store, bg store, radiance store, glory store, loyalty store, raid tickets analysis.
This analysis is for one Raid Ticket.
Standardizing Raid Tickets is unique because it finally allows us to bridge the gap between "free" currencies and Units. It also highlights a massive hidden discount in the Loyalty store.
Raid Ticket: Price Comparison Table
Standardized to 1 Raid Ticket
Store | Local Cost | Essentia Value (EV) | % of Price | Value Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Loyalty Store | 2,000 Loyalty | 20 EV | 🏆 57% | Best Value |
Essentia Store | 35 Essentia | 35 EV | 100% | The Baseline |
Unit Store | 8 Units | 35 EV | 100% | The Baseline |
Incursion Store | 1,000 Artifacts | 70 EV | ❌ 200% | Poor Value |
Glory Store | 75 Glory | 75 EV | 💀 214% | Worst Value |
🚨 Detailed Breakdown
1. The Loyalty Store "Bargain"
The Loyalty store is the absolute best way to enter a Raid.
- The Math: 2,000 Loyalty is only worth 20 Essentia.
- The Saving: By using Loyalty, you are saving 15 Essentia (or nearly 4 Units) every single time you buy a ticket.
- Strategy: This should be your only source for Raid Tickets. Loyalty is generally easier to accumulate than Essentia or Units, making this a "must-buy" every week.
2. The Unit/Essentia Parity
Both the Unit store and the Essentia store value the Raid Ticket at exactly the same "Market Price" (35 EV).
- The Unit Standard: This confirms that 1 Unit = 4.375 Essentia.
- Strategy: If you are out of Loyalty, both of these are "fair" ways to pay for entry. However, since Units are used for Masteries and high-end bundles, it is usually better to spend Essentia first.
3. The "Incursion Tax"
The Incursion store is exactly double the price of the Essentia store.
- The Math: 1,000 Artifacts converts to 70 Essentia.
- Strategy: Never use Incursion Artifacts for Raid Tickets. If you are desperate, it is mathematically better to convert those 1,000 Artifacts into 70 Essentia and then buy two Raid Tickets in the Essentia store.
4. The Glory Store "Trap"
The Glory store is the worst place to buy a Raid Ticket.
- The Math: 75 Glory = 75 EV.
- The Comparison: You are paying over double (214%) what a ticket costs in the Essentia store.
- Strategy: Avoid buying tickets here at all costs. It is the least efficient use of Glory in the entire game.
🏆 Final Raid Ticket Spending Priority:
- Loyalty Store: Your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice. (57% cost).
- Essentia Store: Only if you have 0 Loyalty.
- Unit Store: Only if you have 0 Loyalty and 0 Essentia.
- Incursion / Glory Store: Avoid completely.
Re: Great more unintentional Nerfs 😑
If you guys think they are doing this and its because of raids you are really drinking the Kool-Aid. Raids has to be the most unpopular content in the game. They are not going to improve or increase the the number of people playing by nerfing the champs that were most likely ranked up specifically for that game mode. This is like nerfing Spiderwoman because she is a good defender. This is a nerf for all burst damage champions. They didn't even use the word burst damage hoping you wouldn't connect the dots, its literally a tag in the game called burst damage but they used the word echo, that is intentional. They do not test their game and this will affect every game mode. When has Kabam ever, in the history of the game, been honest about their intentions or communicated anything in the proper way. The truth is they haven't and this is no different. The new currency is a reset of in game currency to drive offer sales, this is a nerf because champion acquisitions are the driving force in sales and they have to nerf them to keep coming out with other champs that are stronger than the ones that came before them, otherwise there is no incentive to buy new champs unless they are better than the ones you already have.

Re: Need help with gameplay
Not defending the AI, but his heavy is definitely avoidable. Yes, any heavy can catch you off guard from time to time, but you can dex out of the way and punish it to get back into good position. And to note, all heavies are unblockable (though have a chance to be resisted through masteries), so trying to stand there and block any heavy is going to have the same result.

Re: Is it time to have a discussion about the ability to have multiple teams??
Actually, this is a suggestion that has come up repeatedly over the years. I myself have made it in the past, and I think it is something that makes sense for the long-form end game content specifically.
A lot of players don't want to engage with the long-form content because it locks them into it for potentially long periods of time when they can't do any other quest content. While some people might literally lack the time to do it, even more people theoretically have the time, but aren't able to focus on it consistently and knock it out all at once. It took me two days to get through the Gauntlet when it first came out, and four days to get through Necropolis, pacing myself through it. A lot of people probably could do that stuff but refuse to get stuck in it.
Some people might say that the length and need to focus on in continuously for extended periods of time is part of the challenge of it, but I would argue that there is no actual time limit for that content, the only limitation is locking players out of other quest content while it is being run. Whether that penalty makes sense in the modern game is something I think is questionable.
Different game modes have their own roster locks. You can do quests and AQ at the same time, because it would be an enormous penalty to force players to choose one or the other. I would place all of the long-form end game content into its own group that could be run independently of other content. You could only do one of them at a time, but you could do them while doing other things including normal quests. And this is not even a novel idea as this already exists: the Crucible already operates in this way. You can do Crucible at the same time as normal quest content. The question is only whether other content deserves similar treatment.
