    A day and a bit, still on the road to Maestro and 380 crystals and 1600+ units banked up.

    Maestro will be down by the end of the day and then begins the hard slog through act5 with just a maxed 4 star and a few 3 stars.

    One thing I’ve noticed with this run is just how many deals and offers I have been bombarded with, it’s gotten crazy in recent times compared to when I first played back in 2016.

    I’m interested, I’ll follow this. How are you obtaining these champs?

    I have created a new account, and will be working to where I was in the other one, for fun I did open everything on the old account, and got 2 4 stars in hulkbuster and og black widow. Along with a 3* torch and a couple others.


    Would anybody be interested in an actual new account challenge thread?

    Beat act 3 and 4.1 and already almost have enough for a 5 star, new players have it so easy. Also this is probably the best time to start this challenge, you get a bunch of 3 stars in the mail and 3 4 stars from calendars.

    Alright, I want to start an account for this too. I’m not going to push it heavily right now but I want it active so I can passively collect rewards over time to make the challenge a little more feasible. Is there an alliance for everyone doing this challenge right now?

    friendly has made a alliance for this, it’s somewhere around here

    That’s it for day 1, went all in on Colossus. He’s gonna carry through act 3 and likely act 4. Also made an alliance if anyone else doing the challenge wants to join.

    here it is @Kingering_King

    A thought just came to me, are crystals the only way to obtain relics or is there another way?
  • Toproller89Toproller89 Member Posts: 1,841 ★★★★
    Because Cerastes and Act 8 in general is going to be pretty tough if we have no way to get a relic

    as far as I know, there is no way to get a free relic…

    This challenge might be impossible now

    Only thing that could save us is a relic selector in July 4 or one of the other deals, if that’s even a thing

    Paragon should still be possible so I’ll still aim for that and see what happens from there

    Yeah I was just thinking about how hard it would be to get a 7 star without grinding arena all day or spending.

    Would you be able to get enough GOLD for rankups, etc ?

    NO Arena Crystals (just the top rank champs and units)
    NO Solo Crystals (not even the ones to give Gold)
    NO Gold Crystals themselves either.

    Daily super event and the daily gold quest should be enough, it would just take a long time
  • kvirrkvirr Member Posts: 2,107 ★★★★★
    I think it’ll be wise to just create a new account for me, and do a normal challenge.


    keep on the lookout for a thread from me tomorrow.

    U can still do the fight without the relic as the block hit block and knockdown still gets removed so he loses damage reduction it be tad longer but doable without relic

    I was forced to open this Crystal, so here we are .




    ( it is a 3*, I just missed the timing )

    Liar! I did not open that one!
    This is my progress in roughly an hour.

    Quick question, where did you get that Colossus from? I’m on Act 3 right now but the only 3*’s I have are the free ones I got from the Women of Power event. Would really like to have better champions to rank, since all of the free 3*’s are on the rework ballot for a reason

    It was from exploring one of the quests in act 1 or 2, can’t remember which one.

    Ah I see, didn’t know exploring the Act 1 quests gave you 3*’s. Might pick up Gamora too but I don’t think I’ll need Hawkeye or Captain America. I would rather spend my energy getting as far as I can in story progression so I can claim a higher rarity Kingpin in 5 days.

    Only good way to get gold will be to buy t4 and t5b when they become available and sell them for 20k and 50k gold respectively.

    Other than that the main source for gold will probably be from event quest and variant when that becomes feasible to do
