    There’s no way I should have got these 7 star heart champs from paragon crystals, I think the RNG is better on your first crystals, has to be.

    I spent 6k on my main and got nothing

    Ur so lucky I didn’t even get a six star u should still continue ur account just don’t use the champs till valiant or use them as ur rank 3s

    I am going to try this challenge too. It seems fun.

    It is fun, make sure the only crystal you open is the nexus 2* at the very beginning. You can skip all of the other ones.
    You're able to skip the forced purchase of a starter crystal? How? I didn't realize and opened that too. But that and the 2* at the start are the only ones opened.
    You can just click the back button after the game forces you to buy it and you can skip opening it.
    I have a confession to make, I opened this one because I didn’t know I could back out of it, well that invalidates my run but it’s been fun and I might still hoard until banquet or something and do a big opening.
    Bro just desperate to open some heart of fivestar crystals. 😂
    .. hehe yeah

    NAAAAAAAAAAA

    Well yeah I mean I’ll keep the account going but I was cooked from day one and didn’t realise it until Toyota brought up that we can skip the second crystal.

    Even if I hit valiant the run wasn’t 100%

    Beat Glykhan last night (I was at 8.4 not 9.1 like I thought) and was able to get paragon this am taking Wiccan and Storm from selectors to r4 with the generic gems and used the r5 gem on sinister.

    Glykhan didnt feel much different to me without a relic, he was still refreshing all the missions. 8.4 though maybe more than 8.3 is heavily relic based on the paths just had to ignore the nodes in some cases and smash through with Sinister.


    Valiant will be a waiting game for a 7* selector type box or chase champs now. Doubt I’ll have a chance on phoenix as haven’t been thinking about getting the plumes etc. Can’t complain on the amount of free champs, selectors etc we’ve had since banquet, this challenge has been way easier than expected. Super daily is a huge win. Would also be easier in a big ally with more glory and other ally rewards

    Just curious how many shards do you have of all the crystals?
    In crystals…

    30 cavs
    18 antiq cavs
    49 PHC
    5 5nexus
    7 6nexus
    7 legend
    1 legend nexus
    9 mythic
    3 x 7*
    34 x 6*
    12 x 5*
    4 paragons

    Plus a bunch of special crystals and random nexus

    FWIW I’m barely touching side quests as no point getting stuff I can’t open.

    I ran through to 9.1.4 and explored only act 1/2.

    This month I did a few side bits and para gauntlet to get ascension dust.

    As a brief update I got 9.1 down. It was a slog without relics, Orochi boss wasn’t too bad just slow played it with sinister, kept my health up with sp1 and ignored the punish heavy gimmick. The paths were a drag though.

    Seems pointless going further on story as will just accumulate items I can’t use until I get 7* somehow to push to valiant.

    Will just explore lower act now and hope for some unit based selectors over the summer.

    I thought another 7* avenue might be ultron from raids boxes but not sure if that reward is valiant only?

    @Toproller89 @Toyota_2015 @Braga_Rhun i sent you invites to my bigger ally in case you wanted to bump the rewards up. It’s semi active mainly for banquet but would be a decent jump.

    I think yes to both but v limited 6* without relics and synergies would make it pretty painful. I guess RG, Wiccan and sinister can do a chunk. Defo worth looking into as I’ll overflow a tonne of revives from early act exploration. I got about 80 currently.

    Sounds good,

    I’m gonna start over with the challenge if I see any good selectors on the forecast, for now, my failed account can just reach valiant normally and it can help get more points in alliance modes for us.

    Haven’t quit, just busy with life stuff but I’ll get straight back into the challenge shortly.

    I just got ROL of legends down and have a few more 4* now. 4* ihulk did the brunt of the work and 3* wiccan nearly soloed wolverine. Died after 500 hits and he was at 15% health. Then he regener up to 40% and I messed up. Total of 2 revives for wolverine and about 5 for the rest of the path. Ihulk isn't the best for long fights.

    I thought I would not be able to get these objective since I am not opening crystals but I did when I completed a quest

  • Braga_RhunBraga_Rhun Member Posts: 76
    The only thing I can think of that it could be is that the chests you collect in a quest count towards this. Does that mean this challenge is void since you get chests which are "crystals"
  • Toproller89Toproller89 Member Posts: 1,947 ★★★★★
    If you didn’t go to crystal screen and open a crystal, I would t worry about it

    Technically not a crystal, so I wouldn’t count it for the challenge. Although if that is the case, the end-of-the-year account stats report will be useless as I imagine the “crystals opened” stat will be inflated beyond the one crystal at the start of the challenge. Really hope that’s not the case though because I was really looking forward to seeing a 1 in that stat at the end of the year…

    If you reach a new progression right now, you get a selector for a champ for the PC launch rewards and the objectives all reset. I claimed all the energy refills and now just hit uncollected and it reset so I can get 10 more energy refills. Also just got my first 5* from the selector. 5* iron man

    1 week account update. The starter xp boost just ran out. I was speed running story to get the most out of it.

    Currently stuck at this sentinel in 6.1.2. My only option for a bleed immune champ is 5* thing.

    Yeah good luck bro, that sentinel is horrible, especially after his buff

    Both Toproller and Danny beat that with a very limited champ roster, not sure who they used but it’s on one of the earlier pages. I think it was Starky?

    Correction, here’s who they used:

    Here’s progress so far:





    Pushing for Cavalier today, and when I get starky, will try push some more till at least the champion boss, and possibly further.

    Who did you end up using for that Sentinel mini boss? Did you just brute force it with 5*’s?
    I went through all my champs and then a couple revives on Kingpin, wasn’t too bad really

    Got 6.1 down.

    BWDO took both sentinels, ultron and nuked most path fights..

    Rulk took ghost, Loki, X bones

    Kingpin dealt with the 616 havok.

    Defo waiting on Red Guardian and ghost before tackling 6.2 but have a nice stash now as bought the completion offer with units.



  • Braga_RhunBraga_Rhun Member Posts: 76
    Ok nice. I'm still over a week away from getting bwdo. And I can't get kingpin sing that was an event I missed. I think I'll be able to take him with 5* ghost I will be getting in a few days
  • Braga_RhunBraga_Rhun Member Posts: 76
    I looked forward at the rest of the act 6 bosses. The Medusa boss that only takes damage from bleed and Mr sinister look like they will be the road blocks that I have to have a counter for. Theoretically, would ghost work for mr sinister? I know he's going to regenerate the crits but that looks like my best option. And with the thunderbolts calendar, I can pick black panther classic to do the Medusa boss.

    Ghost can do it you can find old videos on YT. From memory you use heavies to get the fury and sp3 as it doesn’t crit. Will probs be pre buff sinister but don’t see why she wouldnt still work.
  • Braga_RhunBraga_Rhun Member Posts: 76
    Yeah I did some testing on my main account. Ghost will work for that fight. Also, I don't need to pick black panther for the Medusa boss. Taskmaster can do that fight. It's long and painful but it's definitely doable. And then I can pick something better from the champion selector
  • Braga_RhunBraga_Rhun Member Posts: 76
    I'm debating on purchasing this chain offer. It would be my first 6* and she would do a lot for the account. But it might be worth saving the 3500 units it would cost to save for July 4th deals.
  • summerdeersummerdeer Member Posts: 844 ★★
    do it she is good for 6.22 sinister as well
