I’m almost done exploring 7.1 and gonna explore V5/6 and some of Act 6 too. I’m also ranking up for War because I need them and of course I’ll rank up a 5/6* for that. I should manage my resources? I’m doing it. I’m only ranking up depending on the content I’m tackling. I’ve managed finishing Act 6 fine with that philosophy. I got Cav just last October and I’m now almost done exploring 7.1 because I was managing my resources properly to counter what is ahead of me.
And anyway, it’s not like I totally stopped ranking 3/4*s like what you are implying. I’m ranking them up still. I ranked up 4* G2099 to R4 for Variant 3 and a few more for Variant 4. I ranked up Prof. X as a 4* and some counters for the past challenges. I know that they are still important in some ways but you’re wrong on that ‘I should rank higher rarities less often’. That will only apply if your focus is fattening up your hero rating and not clearing content.
I’m not even asking for a 4* R5 gem. Even a random R2-3 or R3-4 would be appreciated to reduce the cost a little and make us feel excited about ranking up 4*s.
But anyway, you’ll find a rebuttal here that is always out of the point just to argue so you can play with your semantics game.
EDIT: I have around 30 4*s at R4 and above and around the same number for 3*s.
To my knowledge, @xNig has done all available content, including the 4* challenges, and has played at the most competitive levels of the game.
He often suggests specific counters and solutions. While I may not agree with him all the time, I understand he has the experience to back up what he’s saying.
When someone has actually “done it all,” it’s not ridiculous for him to be a know-it-all.

Thing is, at the rate at which 2-3 T5B are formed, we will likely have more than enough T4B by that time.
So spending some excess T1A/T4B/T4CC to make it easier to earn perpetual T5CC isn’t a bad investment.
Honestly it’s not expensive to rank up 4*s, and the earlier variants have given us quite a few gems iirc.
I recall having quite a few 4* RUGs lying around though.
If there’s truly a need to give them out, I’d rather Kabam have a side event, like a simpler version of Maze that limits rarity to 3*s, and have 4* RUGs as rewards once a year or something. So it is “free” but not exactly “free”, if you get what I get mean.
On Alt - I have 5 maxed 4*, and 8 5* 5/65. It's impossible to justify ranking 4*s when there's significantly more content I can do by continuing the path of ranking 5*.
I like the challenge itself, I just want 4* gems, which are only available in act 5 exploration, or infrequent event quests.
I will suggest this example: I like to ride bikes, run and swim. But I am nowhere close to doing an Ironman. So I don’t lecture my friends who have done them or are training for them about biking, running or swimming.
Food for thought.

That's a lot of verbiage to ignore what I said.
I realize you have played the game for a long time and have experience ranking 4* champs.
But the point of this thread is ranking 4* champs specifically for the 4* challenge.
If you have experience in that regard—good or bad—I’d ask you to share it.
If it makes you feel more comfortable, I’m pretty sure I missed one or two of the original challenge milestones because I didn’t have the right 4* champs at the right level. My roster and I simply weren’t good enough.
And there are more than a few folks in this thread who have already said they find the challenge more difficult than it’s worth. Not everyone considers it a piece of cake.
But there’s no need to continue making the generic point that players should rank 4*’s.
Dr. Zola
There aren’t a lot of people in this thread swearing off ranking 4*’s, but there are quite a few frustrated about needing to rank a new slate of 4*’s for the challenge.
If you’re a Cavalier and most/all of your rankups are 4*’s, then, yes, the resources don’t tend to run out. But that’s (again) not the case for many of the people in this thread.
I’m not taunting. I’m asking you to offer ideas beyond “don’t swear off ranking 4*’s.”

Now, the difference between stubbornness and a personal choice, is a reasonable decision-making process. For example, if a Player thinks, "I could use the Frags, but I'm really waiting on Ranking that CGR and I'm low on Gold and ISO.", or "I really don't need the Frags that badly.", or "I don't enjoy this type of challenge.", then that's a perfectly reasonable process. If someone says, "I'm not Ranking a 4* because 4*s are useless and Act 6, and the Meta, and....." then I'm sorry to say, that's stubbornness. There's a flat-out refusal to Rank a 4* because it's a 4*.
Especially when someone tells me they are too busy Ranking 5*s to get the Cats to hit TB. Then Imma say, um.....
