Don't worry, Paragons :)

The bgs store hasn't updated for you but do not worry this isn't as big of a deal as you think. Here is what you should do as a low spender or F2P:

1) 8.4 is coming soon, hopefully within the next couple of months, and exploring that will likely be quick and easy based on the current trend with story content. This will give you 1 R3 champion and you will be half-way to valiant! So make sure you have the rest of act 8 all explored before then.

2) In this coming month, start prepping for a necro run. Get revives from the apothecary each day, as well as the solo events and maybe do a bit of arena if possible to get some units. This will be even more incentivised next month with the bonus SAGA event. If you're paragon and have completed a necro run then you're sitting in a good position already. If, however, you are feeling apprehensive about your first necropolis run then don't panic, I promise you it's actually pretty enjoyable and not as expensive as some people think it is.

Here is a guide I made with help from BMCG, who made the template: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dTFa7xT0kv_IiSUbS9c9TX3oRYABOYK1WZOIy4OP7R4/edit?usp=sharing

There is a guide if you are using aegon (e.g titania path) and one if you are using a more diverse team like shuri/zemo/abs man/doom (mr fantastic path). Also bring a wiccan/juggs etc for the final reversed controls phase of the Grandmaster. It also gives some tips on the more problematic fights. I would also encourage people to look on youtube if they want more detailed guides on specific necropolis options like Kate or Wong. Then pick the easiest path for you (feel free to ask for planning help on the forums, or ask your alliance teammates) and go for it, you'll be okay :)

3) Start saving your battlegrounds tokens. Simply do not spend them in the next 2 months (I doubt most ppl will hit the cap) and save them all until you become Valiant. Only buy perhaps a tiny bit of T6B or T3A or t6cc if you want to go in with a maxed out champ, otherwise R4 ascended is mostly good enough for a completion run (You can get t2 dust from the side events).

Good luck guys, use this as the reason to push to Valiant, it's worth it! Not only for the updated bgs store, but also the upgraded crystals, calendars etc.

    Yeah, I wasn’t doing necro exploration because the battleground store was outdated. Now that there is a valiant store - I have all the inspiration I need. let’s burn those units and $$$! 🙄

    You don't have to do Necro exploration. Read my post carefully, just Necro COMPLETION is enough then save all your battlegrounds tokens for the next couple of months until 8.4 comes out and you can get your second R3 from exploring that which should be cheap and easy. Then you'll be valiant and can spend the tokens in the upgraded bgs store.

    Hook line and sinker!

    Doing other content isn't going to resolve the problems people have with that game mode.

    I'm not saying it will, but I've tried to make a guide to push people to valiant to make the best of a bad situation. Then at least they can access the best rewards from BGs in a couple of months without paying silly prices.

    the r3 from act 8 might be for exploration of the whole thing, not just 8.4, so it's not as quick and easy as you are suggesting

    dawg its 18 paths of pretty damn easy content unless you haven't explored the previous chapters which doesn't make sense if u have already done initial completion for necro

    I’m so tired of facing ppl with 3 7* r3s & full r5 deck in Gladiator circuit. With the valiant store update, it’ll be impossible to get pass quantum in the next 2 seasons 😖

    Have done a necro completion and explored 8.3, but still have a good chunk of 8.1 and 8.2 to explore still. I was working on the earlier chapters when necro came out, and with the road to the crypt stuff it was more valuable to me to push for necro then finish 8.1 and 8.2. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. Going back to them now as I can. But have been using most of my energy/time for WoW.

    I will do the Act 8 100% (I have a few 8.2 paths remaining). But i will still hold on to Necropolis. I will have one T4A after WoW and i anticipate more. Also becoming Valiant without doing Necropolis will make Kabam angry which is what i want.

    RIP paragon store, just get valiant bozos.

    I don't think posting a guide will be too useful tbh. No f2p players will be able to 100% Necropolis before 8.4 comes out, especially not since revive farming is gone so if anything I'd advice everyone to save energy refills and units to 100% Act 8 on day one.
