ISO?

I’m a paragon player and have 30min gold and all the rank up materials in the world but I barely ever have enough ISO to rank up a single champion especially my 7*s. Is anyone else having this problem?

Bro it's not only you because of banquet gold problem has is now stable with the mats but when it comes to iso everyone is suffering, (Free to play obviously) even i as a valiant is suffering. Ihave like 10 7* sitting at level 1 no iso to give 🥲

Many people have that problem. Other people have lots of ISO but no gold, and other people have lots of ISO and gold but not enough catalysts. Everyone is short something.

Now the question is: are you doing everything possible to mitigate that shortage. Things you can do:

1. Try to only use class matching ISO to level up champions. This is in effect getting 50% more ISO.

2. Use 4* and 5* shards to buy the dual class crystals (which cost the same as normal crystals) and then bank them. This allows you to improve the odds of getting the right class ISO when you need it, because those crystals have a 50% chance to drop what you need.'

3. Hold lower tier Nexus crystals until you need ISO. They have a 42% chance to drop the specific class you need, similar to #2 above.

4. Burn extra energy in the daily ISO maps. The return is not great, but every little bit helps and if that energy is just going to waste anyway, you might as well. You have two options here: autofight through the maps generates more ISO per point of energy, if you can set it up and just put the phone down. On the other hand, if you're about to go to sleep or something and you haven't burned that energy off yet, at least auto-complete the ISO map to dump the energy in a few seconds and get something.

5. Are you buying ISO with glory? The escalating costs make it very expensive to buy a lot all at once, but buying, say, 10 ISO bricks (one purchase) every time the store resets can provide a steady stream of ISO for a relatively small glory cost.

6. Are you fully exploring monthly EQ? Each quest in the TB monthly EQ contains 24 tier 6 ISO bricks (8 for completion, 16 for exploration). That is 144 T6 ISO bricks, which is 2,520,000 points of ISO. If you consistently use ISO in a class appropriate way, that increases that to an effective 3,780,000 ISO. For comparison purposes, it takes 1,215,770 ISO to level up a 7* rank 1 from level 1 to level 25; 1,432,719 to go from rank 2 level 1 to level 35, and about 1,608,546 (approximately) to go from rank 3 level 1 to level 45. The ISO in monthly TB alone is enough to level up two rank 2s with ISO to spare: it is almost enough to do two rank 2s and one rank 1, before counting any other sources.

If you also explore Cavalier monthly EQ, you get an additional 72 T6 ISO bricks, or an additional 1,260,000 ISO, 1,890,000 if you use it class appropriate. Which means TB + Cav contain a total of 5,670,000 ISO if you use it class appropriate. That's three rank 2 level ups, or almost six rank 1 level ups.

There's other tricks and sources for getting or managing ISO, but these are the low hanging fruit. It is actually a lot of ISO, if you choose to go after it.

It’s of course not really fun to buy 4 star crystals from your incursion shards.. but if I am short and really want to rank up I get a few crystals
