40% TB... what keeps you pushing forward?

Kerneas

My catalyst stash:

I am now 40% TB as you can see. I statistically can't count w miraculously getting some big chunk on t5cc of the right class. But that's okay, TB shouldn't be for everyone and I am fine with waiting.
However, I got pretty burnt out, ngl. What keeps you pushing forward? Exploring cav eq month after month, when the only reward you get is the sweet 10% nexus? I am now pretty resigned and I decided to do only SQ. I originally intended to explore V6, but there are lanes I can't do (namely thorns, idk yet how to get past that). I also thought of exploring 6.1.

So I ask:
1) What is it that pushes YOU forward towards becoming TB? I beat GM in like January and my hype has cooled off
2) Where should I best get the t5cc? I haven't yet explored any Variant (but as I said, working on V6, as it is probably the easiest), completed story up to 7.2 included, haven't done Abyss. I don't have Ægon, so Abyss is out for now. I am f2p and not a very skilled player. I don't dare explore 7.1, I tried and failed. Variants seem ten times easier, but idk

All you need is 7.1 or 7.2 100% and it’s in the bag. Don’t give up. Grind up the units and work path to path. You can do it!

I beat GM last month and since have completed 7.1 . If I had gotten mutant out of that nexus, I would have a t5cc formed and most probably would be tb now. But I got tech which I had 1% of previously .

I'm just chilling currently, playing the game as I want, testing new champs and sometimes just login for the calendar. Not grinding arena or anything and just relying on all the free units we are getting to progress.

I don't think TB was meant to be obtained with CEQ only. At least not for now.
I got mine with v5, V6 explo, 7.1 explo and 7.1 unit offer back in the days. Now you have 7.2 and V7 on top of it.
If your only source of t5cc is from SQ, indeed I see why you can loose motivation.
What drove me to push forward was the challenge and fun that act 7 or variants bring to a progressive player. The title was secondary, only goal was to have it before next set of unit offers.

Hate for myself🙂

Introduction of TB and immediate (and fairly massive at the time) devaluation of Cav basically killed my desire to progress in the game. I quit for 2-3 months, actually.

It's only now being rekindled, because I genuinely enjoy the fighting, but I don't spend anymore. I'll eventually get TB through casual osmosis as I just don't care anymore.

Is abyss an option? Assuming you have a 6* of each class and kept your generic r2 gem from act 6 to facilitate, do that and it’s pretty much done.

Getting together the resources is a grind, abyss itself is purely a grind but at least it’s different to what you’re doing now.

If I were in your shoes I would be funneling 5* shards like crazy into the skill/mutant crystal and just do abyss. 7.1 exploration would certainly be easier but more time consuming, or you could just wait it out - cav eq t5cc selector your way to forming a mutant or a skill and then just take up any champ

SwarmOfRavens

7.1 100% is one of the easiest story chapters designed, and it's a better TB option than Variants for smaller rosters since they are no champ requirements and it offers a selector.

Best thing to do is open a thread asking for path advice and post your roster, you'll get the most suitable team suggested for each path. With sop darkhawk getting an extension the extra points are still on the table

SOP looks like the best option for me now. there is a nice amount and it is a selector. as a cavalier,i won't be mad that i can't get the best rewards but i will say thank you for a great oportunity. i don't need to do many fights nor spend alot of items to get good rewards

summer of pain gives you a guarantee 75% selector. You'll be able to form a skill and mystic T5CC. So, you can just focus your energy for the next 2 months on summer of pain to guarantee TB. That is a goal that you know with certainity will you give you what you need. 1 fight a week for the next 5 weeks and you are good. No stressing so much with other content. Just do other content to get you ISO for when the time comes to rank up a champ to R3
