T1A for Cav and TB

Ricosco

In my opinion there is nowhere near enough T1A available for cav or TB players, a total of 22 is required for an R1-R5 rank up, with one available every 3 days on alliance events and a disgusting scaling cost in the glory store it's nowhere near enough for a progressing player, we should be getting them from 22h events and maybe frags in 7h events as there's none available in AQ crystals at our level. I have over a dozen 5* I wish to R5 and I'm struggling to take one up a rank every other week.

Everyone has their own bottlenecks but for me T1A is definitely not a problem. I am currently buying 4-6 T4B’s every week with glory just to be able to use the T1A I have in the overflow before it expires. I personally would like to see much more T4B available. It’s currently stopping my progression more than T5B and even T5CC’s are.

Ricosco

Yeah I agree with the t4b also it's a rare resource at our level and with reductions in AQ activity and now less war seasons it's even more rare, as an alliance we haven't been full capacity AQ for over 6 months now, that's a disgusting amount of lost resources from ranked rewards and our usual tier.

I currently have 16 T4B and 12 T1A in overflow… are you not opening your daily crystals or the cav objective crystals? Because that’s honestly where I’m getting all that from. TB daily gives the T4B and Cav objective crystals give T1A semi regularly.

Ricosco

I've never once had t1a from an objective crystal, just really really bad RNG in my account, im not TB as I've been stuck in progression due to the controls issues, so I literally get zero T1A apart from the mentioned sources.

Also, are you expecting just to rank champs up to R5 at will now? That is still a relatively high power level for a character and can take on most challenges in game. Maybe you should focus on 6* champs if you have so few T1A, but are not complaining about T5B or something else.

Ricosco

So I've to ignore champs 5* like Prof X, Stryfe, jubilee, platinumpool, Mr fantastic, iHulk, kang, the overseer, diablo, spiderham, cmm, sassy, mojo and rank 2 cyclops, dpxf, sim, rogue, groot, psylocke, spiderman etc? All my rankable 6* are r2 already and I don't have any of these champs as a 6*.

Have u tried the t1a arena. About 21 rounds gets 3 t1a. Right now in the side quest, I picked up 3 from doing all the difficulties. Just completing normal, heroic and master eq nets u some. Plus alliance events gets you two a week. And then you have glory.
It's all about resource management. Even if u are stuck on progression. Have u tried variants. They are easier than act 6 and nets you rank up gems. Just food for thought.

There’s always gonna be a bottleneck. 12 months ago I was always short on t1a. Now I have to sell it to stop it expiring. Then 6 months ago I had too much t5b and not enough t2a. At some point in the last few month that flipped and now I’ve got 18 t2a in overflow and always desperate for t5b. If that becomes more available then I’ll be short of iso or gold or something else.

If I were you I would absolutely keep ranking up five stars. Even when you get six stars like mr fantastic, Diablo, mojo they benefit from high sig and that takes a while with six stars. I’d focus on five stars until you have your six stars in a position where they just make more sense to focus on. Once you do switch your focus to six stars though, then the T1A won’t be a bottleneck problem for you anymore.

The lower MEQs and SQs generally give t1A. There's an arena for it. It's in several objectives rank rewards. It's in the sigil store and glory store. It's pretty plentiful.

Not so much ignore, but as you start to make the transition from 5* as your core to 6* as your core one of the challenges everyone faces (with varying degrees of success) is making the best of the resources you have. If you have tons of T4 science but no T4 cosmic, you might choose to rank up a science even if your top rank up choice is cosmic, so that in the long run you get the most bang from your resource limits. Same thing is true for ranking up 5* and 6* champs. Sometimes you have enough resources to rank up what you want, and sometimes you have to choose to use those resources in the best way possible to get the most benefit from them until your resources balance out again. Balancing effort between 5* rank ups and 6* rank ups is one way to manage T1A bottlenecks.

The game deliberately intends players to face and then make those kinds of decisions, when there is no right answer there's just different options players have to choose and then live with.

I sell so many t1 alphas.

I have rogue as a 6* so wouldn't bother with my 5*.

I just had a look at my roster and the desired rank ups would take 546 T1A, how long would that take on current distribution?
