Variant 4 Problems

I just completed the first 5 quests of Variant 4 with an account that's somewhat lower level. I have 4 R4 5*s. But here's the problem, what everyone sort of stopped talking about, 1* availability! I've dropped 300 units into Hero Crystals so far just trying to pull ANY 1* champion and still, nothing! You need to make some other way to get 1*s guys, cause this is rediculous.

Hooray another one of these.....

That's cause it's a serious problem that Kabam has kept ignoring.

Just don't sell your champs, it's that easy. On my main, I only have a single one star. It happens to be hulk, which is good, but still, he is my only one star. I will have trouble completing V4.
There is nothing you can do about it now.
One thing I don't get is why anyone would sell one stars. They do not give anything usefull or any shards or anything

I’m glad you brought this up @Etjama

I was honestly thinking about making a thread about this when i got into the final quest with no no bleeders to use against that moon knight. Its just awful because having to take down the 15 charges while waiting for specials to be thrown is just really difficult.

I did remember Kabam mention there would be additional ways to obtain these 1*’s in the future, but there’s not even been further mention since.

Oh and for those that will say “dont sell your champs”, I’m a new player that started August last year , so I was only able to obtain 4 1*’s.

It’s just not fair for newer players that never even sold anything

And they should continue to ignore. 1/2* crystals are available in the store. It's your only hope Obiwan

It is ridiculous. And I do sympathise.

An updated 1* crystal - or even a 1* arena - would be very welcome.

Now I know how you feel. Cause after 400 units, I finally got a 1 star and it was Juggernaut. Since he's not a bleeder, that Moon Knight boss was a pain, but I finally got him down.

The other problem being there is only 1 good 1* option for the caustic temper path

Hindsight is a strong tool that we can use, I haven't sold them either but 5 years ago information was scarce and people didn't know it wasn't optimal. Saying "don't sell your champs" to someone who did out of ignorance is not helping the issue. While I think that questionable crystal is not a solution, a simple fix like 1* crystal isn't either. Kabam needs to find a way to create a creative solution to this and unfortunately I'm not creative enough to suggest anything good

best I can suggest is 1* champs as path rewards in other quests on Variant 4

There are actually 2 sides to the 1* "issue"

First deals with players who've been playing for around 4-5 years. That's when you got tons of 1*s from phcs. The only reason you'd be missing champs is from selling, which has always been a cardinal sin for as long as I've been playing. That's 100% a you problem for not having the right champs for V4!

Second deals with players who started after kabam started the player tiers. These players progressed too quick to the point 1*s were removed from phcs. No one could foresee needing specific 1*s since V4 was not even thought of. This is kabams fault for handcuffing the ability to find champs that were easy to find for older players. These are the folks that got screwed for V4.

People should realize it's not just a selling champs issue. 1*s are very limited these days for new players.
