Weird sig scaling

Look at the enclosed 2 pictures:


One is 5/50 4*, other is 4/55 5*. As you can see, 4* has more potent sig, even tho he is one rank lower and 20 sigs behind the 5*. Same case is CapIW for example.

I am not protesting, I just don't know why is it this way? 4* sigs are much more available, so why does 5* sig level scale worse, when the stones are less available. Could please anyone explain this to me?

Also before anyone says it, I am fully aware that 5* sigs are easily accessible nowadays and it is no problem to get them and pump them into champions.

    I don’t see anything wrong here. 4 stars have a max sig of 99. 5 stars have a max sig of 200. Of course they won’t have the same damage since one doesn’t have a maxed out sig ability

    The sig scales worse *because* sig stones are less available. Or rather, both things are true for the same root reason.

    The whole point was for 5* champs to be more valuable, but harder to rank and sig up. The smallest unit of sig stone for 4* champs is one sig stone. They did not want to make half a sig stone, so they increased the number of sig stones required to max the champ from 99 to 200. On top of that, 5* sig stones are harder to get, because everything about 5* champs is supposed to be harder to get.

    4* Magik's signature ability is better than a 5* Magik'

    If you want to complain about weird sig scaling from 4* to 5*, take a look at Yondu
  • phil56201phil56201 Posts: 964 ★★★
    The closest equivalent would be a 4* 5/50 sig 99...



    ...vs a 5* 3/45 sig 200.

    Why isn’t this 10000 words
    Where is the real DNA, tax?

    Search up tax in Italian


    Half my alliance is Italian and computer translations are only slightly better than hand waving while shouting English slowly
