7* rank up issue

captain_rogers

Does anyone know about the 7* rank 1-2 requirements?From previous observations,we can say it might be same as of 6* rank 4-5 catalysts but with a higher cost.This introduces a variety of problems
1)6* rank 4-5 is still not accessible widely(Technically 1 if you sell one of your kidney for carina challenges vol 3,that too random),and if the rank up costs of 7* r1-2 is similar to 6* r4-5 but a higher amount, let's say 5 t6cc and someone's lucky enough to get a 6* bishop,domino or elsa,Won't they start saving resources for 7*s before their first 6* r5? I'm sure until t6ccs become easy to collect,this situation will continue.
I guess there may be two possible solutions to resolve this
1)(Most Unlikely) 7* 1-2 may have one additional new currently unobtainable catalyst for rank up (maybe t7bc,t4ac or something new).However for every other rarity,this is not the case.
3)(Most likely) The next story progression title after paragon, may ask summoners to rank up n number of 6*s to r4-5 as a requirement. But I think 7*s are going to get bonuses in act 9,so will summoners be really happy to rank up 6*s instead of 7*s just for story progression?

Is it too soon to launch 7*s?

These are all the same topics people had when 5 and 6* dropped. Do you max the old rarity or start fresh with the new rarity. It's a tough choice but you gotta remember, unless your trying to stay in that top 1% of the game, it's probably best to max rank the old rarity and eventually the cats come faster and faster so you can rank the new rarities up at the same time.
