**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

The jump from R3 to R4 is equally massive. My 4* R5 Blade is at 1438 attack rating, my 5* R4 Blade is at 2133. That's a jump of almost 700 attack rating or +48%. That's +48% damage, +48% damage per defensive power gain, +48% damage per second. Then I'm not talking about the multiplication by crits, class advantage and danger sense.
Yeah, in theory you can complete almost everything in this game with maxed 4*. But higher 5* make it so much easier, faster, and more importantly, cheaper. You really can't say that 4* are more beneficial than 5* in the long run.
I really miss empathy here, because I'm 100% sure if they were in the position of conquerors today, they would be screaming as hell as well. This game progress demands building a 5* roster very early on. Why can't conquerors?
Still, special shout-out to the higher-end players who do support conquerors getting 5* shards. Much appreciated!
I am not an high end player, I am a beginner who started in may.
Don’t overlook 4 stars, they may be more beneficial for you now
I'm not saying wanting to do that is inherently bad though so don't take it as such. Don't try to act like it's demanded of you is all I'm saying
Trust me, 4* are not beneficial once you start getting 5*. I don't think you understand that until you get some 5* yourself.
Besides, 5* are resource-wise cheaper to rank-up than 4*. You need at least 665,277 gold, 5 t3bc, 3 t2cc, 3 t3cc, 4 t1ac, 8 t4bc and 3 t4cc to fully max-out a 4*. For a R3 5*, you need at least 763,975 gold, 6 t4bc, 3 t3cc, 3 t4cc and 10 t1ac. As catalysts are the more scarce resource, you better invest in 5*. Plus, 5* can be ranked even further and the gap between a R5 4* and R3 5* widens: Sparkey has as R5 4* 1283 base attack rating while R3 5* has 1420 base attack rating or +10,7% more attack rating (this has a multiplicative effect for masteries, crit damage and abilities).
In this game you don't strictly NEED anything, but such words games are false and ridiculous. 5* are the new 4*, apparently some vets didn't get the memo.
Cavalier came out around the time I became UC. I could not see any rationale or logic to pursuing any other permanent game content before becoming Cavalier. Other than if I attempted Cavalier and absolutely hit a wall and could not complete it. So after UC I finished one path through the rest of Act 5 and Act 6 Chapter 1. I haven't done any Variant, LOL, ROL or further Act 5 exploration before doing that. Now I have the better daily crystals and offers which can make doing that other content easier.
I never said moving faster was bad, just that it's by no means necessary
Sure some people dont NEED that but to discount that progression pace for someone struggling already is silly.
