But iso
😭 0
Would be a nice feature if you could trade some crystals directly for a specific class of ISO. The closest we have to that is the class crystals but since those are 50/50 I often get a load for a class I'm not ready to rank yet and it's a waste.
people with gold problems dont want to waste time in arena just to get a few mill gold that takes weeks to get. to only be wasted on 1 champ in seconds lol
and if you have both gold and iso, probably low on class cats or alphas lol..
just the way she goes, if you are making vids/money off the game or have mysterious amount of free time, you cant have it all
If my big 6* rank ups happen too close together they both deplete real quick. But when I shift to smaller rank ups in between I’m plentiful of both.
So it’s just a matter of managing resources as needed.
T4cc seems to hurt me most, I’m either in the overflow of classes I don’t need or literally nothing of the classes I do need
I have 30m gold plus 1000 gold crystals and 3000 tier 3/4/5 ISOs, but insufficient rank up resources. Mostly T2A.
That said, I feel like my ISO has improved significantly with the introduction of the dual crystals. I save up all of my 4* shards and just use them when I need more ISO from a specific class.
I'm down to about 2 million gold for the first time this year after some hefty rank-ups, but the gold boost event will fix that since I have a bunch of crystals saved up.
If you have the option to grind out the featured arena, you eventually get a full champ (both a 3 and a 4*) and not just the 1 sig point version that was in the arena before. That's a fairly good and reliable source of ISO for me. Plus, units and gold. I try to run both featured arenas each week and that keeps me fairly topped up in the various resources.
Gold shortage - arena
Iso shortage - open crystals from arenas
There is so much gold in game at the minute I am waiting for the day we can exchange it for something useful. Buying aq tickets with gold was one of best improvements in long time
I think I have a pretty good roster of r5/5* and 6*.
Ranking up a 5* champ from rank 3 to 5 takes 2 million gold. Ranking from rank 1 to 4 takes 1.4 million gold. Ranking a 6* from pop to max rank 2 is about 2 million.
Kabam has been preaching roster diversity for years now. It's December 2021 and they just changed Cav monthly from class specific, to Tag specific benefits. I have to monthly, refocus my ranking options based on upcoming events.
While I do think this is great for maximizing use of all the champions and keeps the game fresh. I NEED MORE GOLD. 2 new champs per month along with anybody I pull that I wanted for a year or more. I have to use about 6 million gold per month, just to keep up with what's being released. And that's only for 5/3 champs. For any cavalier, variant or act 6 or later content, you'd be hard pressed to make it out with just those. You actually can't in some spots because of gates.
Incursions can get you about 1.2 mil a month if done consistently.
I personally complete cav, Uncollected and Master and it feels like I pull ~ 2 million after all of those.
If you're running War and AQ, you should be pulling in around, let's be generous 500k.
You're telling me I have to pull 2.5 million in gold through arenas and chips? I actually lose some gold in Catalyst and T4B arenas.
We need either more gold, no gold cost for rank up gems, or a reduction to rank up costs. I feel like removing the rank-up gem gold cost is the best option. You don't change any game Mets but reward players for completing once-only content.
To all those saying, you don't have to rank every single champion. While true, it goes against exactly what Kabam is trying to encourage. So you can argue the mirror if you want.
