As for Resources, I go through T1A, T4CC, and T4B like brushing teeth. I have almost 10 Mil Gold and ISO expiring. Not sure why it's such a dire choice.
Ohh not you, again.
I have enough of those and 14M gold, but I'm at the point where my focus is ranking up 5*s and a few 6*s that coincides with my need to get all the T5CCs I can get to be TB.
ISO, on the otherhand, I had a lot of those in overflow when I was doing my regular arena. Right now, I'm busy to do it regularly. Not everyone has the same situation as you, semantic guy.
Well since you took the liberty to call me semantics guy, you're focusing on 5*s to get you what a 4* can help with right now, with less cost. Just sayin'.

A hard pass from me - if it was a t5cc each objective (like 2,4,6,8 then 10%) maybe. As it is not worth the rank up resources that I'd need to carry half my 4* to rank 4 or 5. Also after exploring cav EQ normally I'm not going to want to do it again even once, base don previous months. it is tiring mentally doing all these paths. Also need to see what works on these new globals.
I have already finished it itemless and I will be uploading all the videos later. Quest 1) Void Torch Nick Quake Ghost
Quest 2) Starlord, Tigra, Ghost, Nick, Quake
Quest 3) Medusa, Hyperion, Nick, Quake, Tigra
Quest 4) Gwenpool, Nick Fury, Quake, Ghost, Tigra
Quest 5) AA, Quake, Nick, Star Lord, Torch
Quest 6) Tigra, Quake, Nick, Torch, Medusa.
Ugh you and your mad quake skills🤦♂️
I really did not use quake very much, only for Super Skrull and a mephisto / doom fight. Imo it was really not that difficult. Nick/Dusa/Starlord/Torch/Void did most for me.

Now that ive seen this, Ill probably try to rank some of those champs since I REEEEALLLY WANT to try my luck and get either science or cosmic t5 formed haha
They need to give us rank up gems for 4*’s. Nobody’s going to rank anything less than a 5*
That's the problem. People are too set in their ways about Ranking 4*s. Which started around the time 6*s came about. They keep saying they have no use for them, even when they have a use for them. Up to them, but they're missing out on Rewards.
With the amount of resources it takes to rank up a 4* and the amount of resources it takes to rank up a 5* or 6*, why would you spend so much on a 4*? Its not about being 'set in our ways'. It's just a lot of resources to use.
Actually it is about being set in our ways. Resources come and go, and no one told people to swear off Ranking 4*s. That's not by design, that's by choice. Nor do you really use anything of great significance for a 4* that you use for a 6*. It's just stubbornness, to be totally honest. Between 6*s being added and 4*s being banned from Act 6, people can't be bothered. Even when they introduce something to make use of them, some refuse to Rank them. The game isn't making that decision for them.
Weren’t you whining about getting 4*s from your free cav crystals just the other month? Because they’re 4*s and you’re past the point of needing 4*s or something...
This is a slap in the face. U can't use 4 stars to get cavalier but we have to use 4 stars to complete cavalier objectives.
Not really.
Most people use 4*s to get Uncollected, which comes before Cavalier. And most longer-term players have a deep roster of 4*s that they've already invested materials in.
These objectives give us a place to get continuing value out of those resources.
Like GW said, these objectives seem likely to keep coming. And another Variant set-up like V4 could always come along. You can either choose a few 'god-tier' 4*s, and rank them up; or just choose to skip the 10% T5CC every other month. Take your choice, but don't be offended at Kabam offering different ways to get rewards.
If they're gonna do this thing every other month or so, I just hope that aside from the 10% T5CC, there'll be some 4* Rank up gem crystals in the objective rewards.
There are a lot of us who still values T4Bs and T1As because we are still ranking up our 5*s more than our 6*s.
This is a fair point. Why the stinginess with 4* rankup gems at the Cav/TB level? Add them to the 4* objective milestones.
At first, the 4* challenge was interesting, and like some of the above posters, I added a few specific 4* rankups to the group of maxed 4*’s in my roster. With a couple of revives, that tended to be sufficient.
With newly changed nodes, I need a few more 4* rankups, which means again shifting the same classes of cats (T4b and T1a) from higher rarity rankups—something that makes less sense as the game progresses.
All of this leads me to believe the game could use a recalibration of rankup material formulae. T4b are required across rankups for 4*, 5* and 6* champs. Why?
T1a are required across every level of 4* and 5* rankup except the initial 4* rankup. That probably made sense at the start, but now it looks kind of ad hoc.
See, it's places like this where it pays to be the old guard. I have plenty of old 4*s that often are more than capable of blasting apart these objectives and make life easier. Example: Newly buffed Yellowjacket slays the science quest.
Problem is that no old Mystic champion is any good, even remotely, for the new Mystic quest. The oldest is Hood, and I definitely never ranked Hood.
One of the worst objectives has made a return haha, and Im still at place where I am choosing not to rank up 4* because I cant use 4* as AW def placement, not taking them in AQ, or Act 7 (even though I 100% it already lol) I mean it’s unfortunate that this objective couldn’t be a selector at least, because with the difficulty, its still just does not feel rewarding for the effort put into the objective, also with the new buffs for cav quests, it also feels a bit more tedious than it did before(imo, some of y’all could think otherwise and thats fine haha)
Idk like I said for the objectives involving a team of 4* or below for the EQ, they should be selectors, for others that just say “beat legendary side quest 20-30” times should be the crystal 🤷🏽🤷🏽....maybe next month haha
Anyone else gonna be skipping this objective or gonna be pushing for it?
I mean it's definitely a choice, but the Resources should be easy to come by, and these Objectives seem to be recurring, so the need is there.
“Seems to be recurring”
Off the top of my head, I’ll estimate that they’ve done this 3 times in 6 months. They gave us a free one, the stamps, and the mephisto invasions.
The player base shouldn’t be forced to rely on speculation and projection. I haven’t ranked up 4-stars for 2+ years. If they would have told us to expect 4-6 per year, I would have started the process of updating my 4-stars earlier.
No items used. Quake took 50% from Deadpool. Rest done with caiw
Good example. Thank you.
It’s refreshing to see suggestions in this thread from players who have done it ( @Agent_X_zzz is another).
In my opinion, that’s much more useful than posts offering vague pontifications in defense of the 4* challenge’s appropriateness—without any indication of having attempted it.
I’m happy to share my successes and failures as I do it and I appreciate those offering solutions.

Used about 300 units due to no counter for anything in the tech one.
Got skill t5cc 😫
