**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

PSA: Short of ISO or Gold? Do all the Battle Scarred and Mint objectives
I'm still working on the next actual part of my ISO economy series, and Kabam is doing everything possible to distract, divert, or just plain detonate my analysis there. So it'll probably be a while yet. And in another attempt to basically say "ISO problem, what ISO problem" Kabam stuck a gigaton of ISO into the Bauble Bubble Boobie Banana Babushka Bahama Mama Bonanza Blowout Banquet objectives. How many?
Every day, five "Battle Scarred" objectives that contain one ISO selector (which contains ten tier 5 ISO bricks) and five "Mint" objectives which each contain two ISO selectors. That means every day it is possible to collect a total of 1x5x10 + 2x5x10 = 150 Tier 5 ISO bricks. A Tier 5 ISO brick is worth 5k ISO, but if applied to the appropriate class gets a 50% bonus so that is actually 7.5k ISO per brick. Which means every day, it is possible to collect 150x7500 = 1,125,000 ISO. Across seven days, that's 7,875,000 ISO.
That's enough ISO to take a 6* champ from rank 1/1 to rank 5/65 (5,152,491) with enough left over to take another 6* from rank 1/1 to 3/45 with about 200k ISO left over.
It is probably the easiest rapid source of ISO in the game. For players short of ISO, they should try to knock out every single one of these objective every single day (they aren't hard). If you're short of gold, you should also do them as they not only get you goldpool crystals, you can also sell ISO for gold.
PS: Pro-tip. If you're having trouble with the Deadpool objective because you don't have Redpool, you can use your once a day redeal option to randomly change that one (the circle-y button just above the "GO NOW!" button).
You don't need to do all of these objectives every single day to max out the milestones in the Bauble Bubble Bullet Backdraft Belt Buckle event, but if you're short of ISO or Gold or both, you should probably do all of them anyway. This is a staggering amount of ISO for relatively little effort.
It is already day three, but there's still five days left. Hopefully this helps someone out there scrambling for ISO or Gold and might not have realized just how much ISO is in those objectives.

I just don't have any catalysts
T5B is going to be extremely tough to get at your progress level. For now, 6* champs are basically 5* champs with a free rank up to rank 4. Still, even though gold is probably not a bottleneck for you now, never look a gift horse in the mouth when the game is willing to hand you non-expiring resources. One day, for most players, everything eventually becomes a bottleneck, at least temporarily.
Again today I didn't get 5/5, I got 6 battle scarred and 4 mint. Yesterday I was able to "reroll" one of the battle scarred objectives and the new one I got was mint but when I tried again today it was just another battle scarred one. When the rewards we get from crystals (champs, catalysts, gold, etc.) are RNG it doesn't seem right to me that the types of objectives you receive which determine the quantity of rewards you can obtain should be RNG as well (I don't mean the actions you have to take to complete them but whether they are battle scarred or mint).
I’ve have 5/5 before, and 4/6 (lesser/higher).
Did a replace today on a lesser one and got another lesser in exchange.
But I wouldn’t doubt that being random it might potentially give you a higher one for replacing a lesser one. (or in reverse too, but why would someone risk replacing a higher level one)
But will definitely try to remember to replace a lesser one EVERY DAY, hopefully get some higher ones in return on occasion.
