Glykhan can wait, conversations on Heat Wave

winterthur

I am a 3-day old Valiant with twenty-one 7-Stars, two at R3 with the remaining champs all at R1.
I am also a casual player, most of the days just auto-fighting to clear the DSE and completing the daily double track event.

And I have 40k units accumulated.
Because I can, I am really tempted to hit all the milestones with the acquisition loot being

1/ Human Torch
2/ Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced)
3/ possibly eleven 7-Stars (assuming no duplicates)
4/ one R4 plus a R3

I am thinking what’s next after that since I am still going to just mainly login, do the DSE and DTE.
Or maybe, this could inject some adrenaline into trying to get into GC (highest is getting into Vibranium IV) and pushing further into the Acts.
So, the decision for Summoner at my current progression level and roster size is ...

Note: I have both Paragon and Valiant offers live.

Go all in, the Human Torch is bragging rights

It’s up to you. How important is it to get human torch and/or starky? We don’t know when there will be another chance to get these champs. Me personally, I would go all in, because you have enough units to get all the offers. But saving is almost never a bad choice.

I would go all in, it’s a great opportunity to get champs you may not be able to get again

Go all in. Saving for a rng event like banquet when you can get guaranteed value now seems insane to me.

Stop on acquiring Spider-Man (Stark Enchanced)

Depends on what champ or resource you are aiming at. Is Human Torch a luxury to have (any others in your roster who can do the same job or need him urgently for a specific quest)? Saw you mentioned Stark Enhanced assume he is someone you are targeting and won’t do Carina challenges anytime soon hence my suggestion to stop after selecting him

Go all in, the Human Torch is bragging rights

If you go all in with your units not only can you get torch but you can (depending on what you choose) get multiple rare/valuable champs and 2 rank 4s. As a new valiant that seems like it would be a big boost to your roster. However, units are hard to come by so I get any hesitation.

Go all in and beyond, dupe HT.

I was scouring around and found these three posts since I am still sitting on the fence on what to do and appreciative on the feedback ...

Stark still holds good value.

Banquet reflections (which I am reading for the first time).
→ 2024
→ 2023

Very interesting to read (I paraphrase a bit).
"our goal is not to make as much money as possible on every offer"

Maybe to go all in is not about Human Torch, it is the R4. Starky at R4.
Tough ...

The rank 4s are definitely the biggest perk for your account. Progress in act and endgame content will be influenced more by a rank 4 than having torch. Torch is amazing, but he’s not by himself going to finish and explore all story content for you. 2 rank 4s (and some more rank 3s) will make that a lot easier.

Do what you see as the best value based on knowing the rank 4s are the chase and torch is a nice bonus

Spending spree completed.
Now have to decide R4. I think maybe can get to two.





Eliminate Human Torch and Spider-Punk first?

winterthur

Add a Mutant. This automatic choice to R4?

Nope do stark and torch then onslaught

This is how it ended (still a bit more to go).

While it's good for you that you saved and could buy all if that stuff, it's sad to see that this is the state of the game currently. In progression you just started earning more 7 stars, and your first r4 should be still pretty far, but since you have the "money"/units, you can pretty much buy the stuff instead of playing.

Crazy

I think it is actually good for the game economy.

New players can obtain the highest tier champs and rank them up. There are no intervals required to wait for months for a new Act to appear. This gives a sense of being able to get into the competition pretty quickly.

It is a known fact that seasoned Summoners starting alt accounts can easily reach Valiant progression level in a couple of days, and I took eight long years.

The real difference (I think) is the experience gained, the breadth and roster strength.
I am quite sure that I am no where near your level in skill, champ knowledge, know-how to deal with nodes, etc.

So, even if I have two R4s (yup, I did it ) in a short time space on reaching Valiant, I am nowhere up there.
As for playing, well I did play, just game modes which gives units.

The slight change in roster from the above image, is that now I have
a/ Stark Spider-Man R4 sig 20
b/ Shang-Chi R4 sig 20

Till end of year Banquet ...
