    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.

    Keep in mind the July 4th deals are only really worth it if they have an affordable selector in them, let alone a selector that actually has useful champions in it. I think spending the units for her isn’t a bad idea, especially considering she would make progression significantly faster for you.

    I’ll add that getting materials to r4/5 6* champs isn’t hard (for paragon etc). You can get them naturally through clearing story through act 8 and super daily so no need to budget for that, plus I’ve got enough materials already to r3 a 7* towards valiant.

    So July 4th should only need to be about champs.

    I'm almost cavalier. I'm going to wait until I hit that to decide. I want to see if the cost goes down.

    Good thing that there is probably zero chance that any of the “we're gonna automatically open up all your old crystals” applies to any crystals that a newer account doing this would have.

    But if there were, would Kabam doing the opening of it count against you ??

    I don’t know, I guess we’ll just have to reach Valiant before that ever happens

    I think the only thing on there is login crystal, it doesn’t state whether it’s any date range but I have a couple I think. At this stage I don’t think a 4* ironheart or whatever is gonna have much bearing on acquiring the 2 7* champs I need to get valiant, exploring acts 8/9 etc.

    This is just a bit of fun between players though, as long as we stick to the idea surely that is all that matters.

    If you want to be really strict about it just don't use the champs or resources that were automatically opened.

    I don't think it should affect the challenge since we didn't open the crystals. Also, account update. I hit cavalier and purchased 6*CMM. First units spent on this account. I have her at rank 3 but can't level her or ascend another 5* since I have no gold.

    Just got 6.3.1 Medusa down with taskmaster. I do NOT recommend. It was so rough. It took me around 15 revives. I brought Hawkeye for the synergy that can make taskmasters specials unblockable. Sp1 and sp3 do bleed damage. In retrospect, I should have turned of dex so I don't heal the boss. Oh well it's done. Thronebreaker here I come!

    Damn it doesnt cost much to turn off dex.

    Anyway, you’ll be TB soon. Who you got for cap?

    prob ghost
  • Braga_RhunBraga_Rhun Member Posts: 107
    Yeah. Turning off dex would have saved a few revives but not much. The auto lock made it really hard to throw specials to bleed Medusa. And yes ghost is the plan for Cap.

    Just got thronebreaker. Took me 4 weeks from starting the account
  • Braga_RhunBraga_Rhun Member Posts: 107
    Sorry. It took me almost 3 weeks. Here is where I am at on the new summoner calendar and my roster

    I might regret it later, but I have done 2 of the volume 1 Carina challenges to get some 3*s that I didn't have so I have enough champs for a deck for battlegrounds. The off season objectives are pretty good even if you lose

    You’ve given me the idea to get to valiant through the CCP carinas (2 x 7* selectors) but I’m not sure it’s possible.

    I’ve got 5* stark and have done the first kang one.

    Ive also got 6* Ironman and can then choose 5 more champs before attempting the last challenge, unless I’m missing something.

    I need Zemo Tigra jabari and mojo so I’m only left with Ironman and one other to complete the avengers one.

    Seems like a dead end?

    I tried necro with of need to fully explore but 6*s and no relics it’s a waste of time.

    None of the 7* chase champs in next saga seem obtainable either.

    No I stopped spending a long, long time ago. They’ve had enough from me.

    Well if u get the double track that’s a way for valiant
  • Braga_RhunBraga_Rhun Member Posts: 107
    Once you get to paragon, the CCP challenge get unlocked and part of the rewards for some of them is 6* selectors for the champs you need. I just got the second Kang done and just need to rank up 3 champs to rank 4 to unlock the challenge. I think if it is possible to get the required champs, that's the best path to get the 7*s needed for valient.
  • DannyBDannyB Member Posts: 177
    Yeah defo and it feels like a challenge vs just waiting on some 7* selector to drop but I think I can only get 2 avengers
  • Braga_RhunBraga_Rhun Member Posts: 107
    Just got to paragon. Story content is getting quite tough with lower leveled champs. I have a rank 5 6* gem but I'm saving that for baron zemo for the CCP challenges.
  • Braga_RhunBraga_Rhun Member Posts: 107
    I was going to try to do all the CCP challenges to get the 7* for valient, but it isn't possible. There are selectors to help you get the champs needed but not enough. I could do all of them except a classic threat. I would be missing 2 of the champs. I could start on them just so I have more champs to work with for story. I am going to do the ones with 5* Starkey and then see from there
  • Braga_RhunBraga_Rhun Member Posts: 107
    The best option to get the 7* champs for valient looks like getting 2 of the deathless. I'm not sure which is the easiest to get pieces for since you need to get some pieces without units. It looks like a guily and a she hulk piece are both locked in necro (initial completion and completing a 10 yr challenge) and a guily piece has an act 7 challenge. Are there any other pieces in permanent content?
  • Braga_RhunBraga_Rhun Member Posts: 107
    I guess it's a question of if buying the pieces for the deathless champs or 100% necro is cheaper with limited champs and no relics
  • Braga_RhunBraga_Rhun Member Posts: 107
    Did any of you beat cerastes? And if so how? I'm at that quest
  • DannyBDannyB Member Posts: 177
    This is all I’ve got from cerastes. Just keep two armours broken and chip away by the looks of things…

    Ok so cerastes I think is gonna go down without relic. It’s actually easy to keep damage open as you are only looking to knock him down and hit block so you can cycle those v quickly and keep two armours broken.

    Sinister absolutely wrecked him during the stunnable phases I had degen ticking 200k per sec.

    It’s slow now I can’t stun but sinister still great option with his healing, bwdo will be good too. I reckon herc will be ok @Toproller89, maybe there’s some issue triggering infuriate?

    Ran through all champs and he’s at about 40%. Hoping there’s no relic catch on final phase but from memory it’s just keeping out his way and hit his block so don’t see an issue.

    I’m thinking glykan will also be ok as you can chip away so valiant should be doable.

    I managed to get him down. Only took 2 revives. Superior iron man and CMM were amazing. I got an 11 min run with superior iron man and got 80% of his health down.
