When will we be able to buy the last piece of blade?

This is embarrasing, but I am a FTP elder, I have around 33k prestige, good amount of good R4s, but I find getting to gladiator's circuit nearly impossible. I slam bgs only to fight against people with even bigger rosters than mine at DIAMOND I, having a hard time even to reach Vibranium. Man, if this is what I'm fighting in Diamond I, who is in vibranium? There's only 9 days left of BGs and getting to gladiator's circuit doesn't seem doable.
The thing is, I really need 7* blade to be able to get my mystic collective up to Rank15, which would help me get the milestone of the collectives rankup prizes. Will I be able to buy the last piece in time or should I change strategy?

After BG season is over.

Share your battlegrounds deck

For me, I am guilty of ranking up every toxic defender I can get my hands on

My strategy is to draft as many toxic defenders as possible so my opponent cannot have a counter and lose to me in points

I have a good win rate using this toxic defender strategy and I am in GC now

@JESUSCHRIST Interesting strategy. What are some examples of your toxic defenders which you ramped up and at which rank? At this point I am open to different ideas on how to progress

This is my battledeck. I know I have some R3s but they're good defenders and will rank up soon, but I don't think it's a bad roster. The thing is I can't get consistent enough wins to keep progressing anymore :(

I can do a few more R4 rank up but I couldn't make up my mind so I proceeded to push into GC first

Most of my defenders are counters as well so they are dual threats capable of finishing fights fast

Sunstar19

Thanks for detailed breakdown including why they are ‘toxic’. Plenty of R4s too. Yikes.

The most amazing part for me is that I was able to get to GC for the stellar starlord's piece, I think I wasn't even valiant at that time. And now that I am elder I can't. This is so strange and frustrating.

I think I'm done playing BG after this. Way too much time spent chasing this silly blade piece,. The game is constantly crashing for me affecting BG and AW. Super frustrating, and I'm elder with a full roster.

BKSwisherSweet

I think a lot of players are going to be done with BGs after this season ends.

Ab_Samad

OP you have similar roster (even better) than mine. Put on suicides and max out your offense.

It only took me 1 and a half day to reach GC from diamond 1. After winning one match in GC put this damn game mode down for good

I don't know about suicides, that will make my defenders even weaker and enemies will take them down so fast, won't they?
I got to vibranium today!
I'll keep pushing for a couple days to see where I can get and after this season I'm not playing any more bgs either, this is stupid

I got to GC for the first time this season as a valiant with 23k prestige, and it was an unbelievably long grind. At least I didn't waste any units on Victory Shields. Now I'm probably in the minority of people that still enjoy battlegrounds, apart from this season, mainly because of the novelty of it and the competitveness. I much rather the grind through constant accounts with 12k more prestige than me than the mind numbing boringness of arena. I just feel that after this season, with collectives, the gap between me and bigger accounts is just going to get wider. I am level 11 average in collectives, which means next season defenders will have 12 percent more attack and health relative to mine?? Thats just ridiculous and has just screwed me over even more. This season I was able to compete off of skill, but from next season I will not be competitve again for a very long time. My r4 jack can take a r5 jean down in 40 seconds, but with 12 percent more health, thats going to be another forcefield to get through and a 40 second fight has now become a 60 second fight? And that now for the first time the same champion at the same rank is now different for players? I can't see me or anyone that has lower level collectives being able to compete in BGs for a long time.

Yeah you're right, it's hard not to have an average deck while being free to play and having a life. Got to GC in the end though so I'm happy. Enjoy your store bought deck man! :)

Im also f2p and have a much better deck im guessing the only diffrence is that im much better than you at the game so I can cover more of the game quicker than you a skill issue on your point is a reason to get mad at someone else
