Spending 250K Radiance

TotemCorruptionTotemCorruption Member Posts: 3,031 ★★★★★
So BG rewards are out, and combined with War rewards from earlier this week, it's time to spend.

My only dilemma with the radiance store is whether I should be buying up deathless pieces on my main account.

But my thinking is, I don't like DThanos, I prefer banning him in BGs, and if I did get him, I'd have to let my opponents keep theirs, and not only is he annoying to fight, but he can also nuke several of my top defenders.
Just banning him has worked out so far, so I don't see a reason to invest everything into getting him, especially since most of my opponents were able to get theirs for free.
It's basically game theory (not sure what game theory is actually, but it sounds like game theory to me).

Anyway, I'll just wait until 8* DThanos comes out, and I can get him like everyone else on equal footing.

So with no deathless pieces to buy, I just went for another R4. I had about 1.5 T7B from all the various rewards/content we've had this summer, so just needed to top it off, and then used the rest on sig stones.







Ok, and the newest R4 is Iceman.
I think he's one of the champs who really goes from trash to good with the R4 sig 200 upgrade.
He's not elite in BGs, but he's now a decent defender, and while not the fastest, he can do ok against several top defenders, like SW, Bullseye, Yelena, Dark Phoenix. That's some rare versatility imo.



First test vs an R4 sig 200 Dark Phoenix.
Again, not terrible.
Not good.
But not terrible.




More importantly, he's great for War and other content due to his immunities.
More of a luxury than necessity, but it's nice to have him all the same.

    Iceman became so bad nowadays than he used to be, all thnx to kate bish getting coldsnap, and kabam mandatorily have to make every defender coldsnap immune to prevent her nuking, indirectly affecting iceman.

    Also I almost forgot iceman is the best dp counter out there by directly countering her main defensive element.

    Btw is it wise to spend 250k on 2t7b that let me have another r4? Lot of guys said it's overpriced but it doesn't seem to be for me.

    Depends how much radiance you are pulling each month. Previous month we got extra radiance due to 4 week raids.

    I have manged to pull a decent sum.
    Got 4 deathless pieces, the mastery points, all units(need to hit 18k, I don't do arenas), a decent amount of rankups and after getting everything I wanted for this cycle, I'm left with 160k still.

    T7b looks expensive if your incoming radiance is on the lower side. Get em when you want them.
    Tho I didn't buy full t7b, I'd go broke, need to keep some for emergency rankups. I have 1.5 t7b atm and will see how things will turn out.
    Store about to reset and we can get more things again.
    Getting next r4 from crucible anyway.

    In the end it's your account, you decide what you want.

    I think skipping buying deathless pieces is probably the right move. I think DThanos is the absolute man, but if you are in a position where you need to buy pieces of the other four, it’s not worth it. Those four are quickly being left behind, except for Djen occasionally doing her thing. And then of course there are all the Dguilly fanboys who will tell you how amazing she is. (Truth: she’s fine, that’s all.)

    I would say Iceman is definitely not the best DP counter.
    I would probably take Okoye, Nef, and several mystics ahead of him in BGs.
    But he is a very safe counter, so he's very good for her in AW where there is more time and less need to finish with very high health.

    Way overpriced imo
    Overpriced compared to what though?
    It's not like T7Bs are available in the BG or Glory store.
    If someone wants more R4s right now, this is how you get them.

    Do some bg match with your friend asking him to play against your iceman and see how much hp will he lose using 7 star r4 who doesn't have any resistance to coldsnap or you can use any of your alt account to test it
    The defensive value should be their and my guess is 20% hp should be taken by coldsnap

    Not really, only reason i can see someone focusing on R4s in radiance is if theyre f2p, but whales (which i assume you are since you cropped out your units) can always just keep buying them during sales.

    Players with three or more Rank 4s—meaning they’ve completed all content that provides Rank 4 materials—naturally start focusing on Rank 4s over any other materials. Of course, if you’re still lacking Rank 3 seven-stars, then it makes sense to prioritize those instead.

    You can be low on units and still be a whale.
    Or have a lot of units and be an F2P arena grinder.
    I have one account where I've spent a fair amount and another account that's F2P, if you really are dying to know.
    Anyway, aren't you the guy who made that dumb "whistleblower" thread about Stonehenge buying some J4 deals for Biz, and then got kicked out of the Line group you were in as a result?
    Just go away, dude.
    Still doesnt answer the fact why you deliberately hid your units from the screenshot. And judging from how youre crying i can tell my words hit deep? Its okay to be a whale buddy, im just telling you theres more to the store than r4 mats, especially for your kind.

    You made a thread to complain about kabam staff taking sides for who they ban as botters putely out of hate against lagacy, and then immediately tried to kiss ass with a post serenading support afterwards. Then you made that dumb entitled post about your rank dropping in BGs overnight that everyone grilled you on. Its like you make a dumb new thread everyday

    That was sarcasm.
    Did I read the attached screenshots?
    Absolultly not!
    Knew exactly what happed when I saw the word "resolved", in the opening post.
    Support can't help tickets on disconnection issues, so they just move those complaints to "solved".
