I suppose the question for noobs like me to ask is whether to invest (hard to get) resources on a Champ which gives additional benefits in game play for the now.
5* is for the future but on current content available, 4* max rank is already OP. Many Summoners are using 3* to clear master mode content.
Perhaps, by the time the 5* is needed, OP would have obtained again the same resources to do it maybe for a 5* GP (it is in crystal correct?).
Is there any current content (or even six months from now) which points unanimously to 5* rank 4 Electra better than 4* rank 5 Gwenpool?
Yes, in October they will release 6* into content, perhaps in the next Event Quest. We still don't know all the neat little tricks they'll have until about the time they get released.
That doesn't mean you'll need 5 stars to fight them......
They'll release 6* in event quest, maybe Act 5.4, Season 5 for the AQ could be coming up. They could make a new difficulty for the Event Quests. We don't know what the AW changes will hold for us.
Of course we don't know, but i would be shocked if you needed 5 stars to get through act 5 (it makes it much easier though)
While very true, there is a lot of players at a higher level who don't care about prestige. I ranked my 5* guilly to r4 unduped and have no regrets. I play in a 7m alli and have no intentions of ever purely ranking for prestige.
To be fair, op never specified if prestige is a concern (that I saw, made it to this post and stopped reading). If prestige is a concern the obviously don't rank either. If not, Elektra is a solid rank up. Dieing for one myself. Though gp is also solid. Have a r5 gp myself and she is godly.
Prestige is not a concern at the moment. Nor do I think it ever will be in my case. What is my concern is higher content that is here or may be coming that would become easier with a r4 5 star. Instead of trying with r5 4 stars and using items and/or units. It just so happens that my top choices are Elektra for 5 star and gwenpool for 4 star. I appreciate everyone's thoughts and time. I still have some time to decide. Thank you for your insight.
Why rank now? Wait and see if you are not worried about prestige or rank gp. T2as are too precious. There are a ton of 5*s that are better than elektra.
I also heard rank down items may make a comeback by the end of the year. If this rumor is true, you could take GP up now and whenever rankdown items come back, bring GP back down and rank elektra up. By then you may have her duped or even a better 5* skill champ
Elektra is the best option for what you're going for, for a couple reasons. She bypasses Safeguard, which is prominent in RTTL. She is also a 5*, which is better CR at R4, and that makes a difference with 5.2. Doable with R5 4*'s, but definitely easier. She doesn't need to be Duped to be useful. It's entirely up to you, but my personal opinion is that Prestige and Dups are not hard and fast rules for Ranking. The game is all about earning Resources. You will get more. If you have a Champ you can use and you're not chasing Prestige, go for it. Some may not agree because they go by popular opinion. That's my vote. There's no sense in sitting on Resources praying for a Dup when you can make use of a Champ that doesn't need it. Hope it helps.
5* mordo, gwenpool, iceman, ghostrider, crossbones, nightcrawler, rogue, hyperion, hood, agent venom, x-23,quake, angela, stark spidey, yondu, ultron and more are all worth and have been brought to rank 4 unduped. Even top tier players have unduped 5 stars at rank 4 like gwenpool and iceman[/quote]
Top Tier players might have unduped r4s but if they're in a top tier alliance they're forcever at risk of getting booted because they drag down the group's prestige so much.
T4cs are sufficiently common now that ranking a. 4* to r5 (or a 5* to r3) solely for utility is justifiable these days. But until kabam actually starts handing out t2a's using your best prestige chip on an undueped champ is, at best, short sighted. Especially for someone who hasn't even run RtL yet.
On a utility basis it's a toss up which makes Gwenpoole the easy choice. Save those t2a's for a duped champ who will open the door to better aq rewards (by far the most sustainable path to steady rank ups)
You've actually got that mixed up. Ranking a 5* Electra is extremely short sighted. It'll help you now when your roster is small but you'll eventually get 5* chaps that actually deserve to be ranked, but won't be able to because you wasted 4 t2a on Electra.
It's really not hard to understand. You only have 8 t2a, which means you can only r4 two champs before doing LOL and getting another 4. using 50% of your total t2a on a champ to get you through RTTL or 5.2 is a complete waste of resources and is not needed. You can beat all the current content with r3 5* and r5 4*, including the easy path of LOL. Wasting t2a to get through content easily done with r3 5* and r5 4* is just silly.
With only 2 or 3 opportunities to r4 someone you HAVE to be extremely picky with who you rank. Starting next month all of the god-tier champs will start getting added to the basic 5* crystal so your 'argument' that you might not get a better champ doesn't hold much water.
Where you are in the game you do not NEED a r4 5* right now so there is no point in blowing the most rare resource currently in the game on a mediocre champ. You may WANT a r4 5* champ but you def do not NEED one.
Thank you! I feel like your last sentence is the most important one you said and really hit home. You are right I do want one and that part is short sighted. I appreciated the advice. As I am now part of a 5x5 alliance the t4cc should come more easily so I will r5 gwenpool and wait for either her as a 5 star or later down the road r4 a 5 star more worthy of the t2a. Again thank you all for you comments and time.
You're forgetting that he may only pull one 5* a month. Ranking a 5* elektra to 4/5 is definitely setting up yourself for the future because then she'll be ready for 5/5 whenever t5b's come out. I think you're really underestimating elektra. Her bleed and defensive ability reduction is awesome. Plus most 5*s at 4/5 make things so much easier in map 5. T4cc's are all luck of the draw. I've gotten so many skill t4cc's that my first maxed 4*s were skill champs. On the other hand, I rarely have gotten mutant t4cc's (only enough for 1 R5 4*).
she crits at low health even unduped? i have her too but i dont know if she's worth rank 4 , do you have videos of her doing lol? :O
there are some worth champions like Magik, she's extremely useful even unduped
Did you rank her to 4? Was she worth it?
(special mention to assassin mastery too) > not worth more than a 1 point in it unless u doing lol or rol
