Do I need new champions to progress further? Worth grinding fior cav crystals

IcePick

I’m 5 1/2 months into this account. I finished 6.1 two months ago and spent 2 months grinding and spending all units in cavalier crystals to get ISO and more 5 star champs. As a result of these 50+ cavalier crystals I ended up with an awakened 5 star blade, a 5 star domino, 5 star professor x and a 6 star superior iron man (ouch)

I’m going to keep grinding arena and star slowing exploring chapter 5 and maybe try a variant soon

My question is - do I have the current champs on my roster to one day (when they are maxed out) complete chapter 6 and make a run at abyss or do I need to keep buying cavalier crystals until I get an Aegon, Doom, Quake, etc.

Here is my 5 and 6 star lineup. I have a 4 star apocalypse which makes cable a beast, but of course that’s not going to help at all in chapter 6....

Yes. But don’t buy crystals. Save and just be more patient.

It took me four years to get around to becoming Cavalier and you did it in five months. If you want to spend all your money on glorified 3* crystals so you can breeze through the content, that's certainly your prerogative and I don't want to disparage anyone who spends a lot of money on the game, but it can't hurt to take some perspective. The meta is moving toward a state where you need a really wide roster for a lot of different scenarios, so I'm not even sure buying tons of cavs for one or two god-tier champs is the right strategy anyway.

The meta has changed to the point that we can get 5*s like candies so no need to spend on Cav to progress rather spend your units on clearing content. Buy energy refills instead. My account has less than a year of gameplay but I'm almost Thronebreaker (100% Variants except Variant 1, Act 6 Completed, Act 7.1 100% Explored). I'm just waiting to form my first T5CC in a month or two (thanks to the nexus change).

All you need are counters for specific roadblocks. You'll get them all eventually. Cavs are **** unless you can spend a lot. Arena grinding for Cavs isn't sustainable too. I'd rather clear content with those units.
