4 star champs can still be used on stuff but with the peak milestones the basic income of resources has been greatly nerfed so a t3cc that you could have had enough of in a single week now takes several weeks or a month when grinding the class cat dailies.
Sure, 4stars are not that good anymore, but you need them to get to the point where you can farm 6* shards and gain a good amount of 5star champs.
God-tier 4star champs are very good. They will help you a lot in completing harder content like 5.2 and Uncollected EQ.
Resources are rare, but still obtainable. 3 of t4cc dont take 6 months to get as long as you are in a decent alliance and doing the event quests. In my 9 months of gameplay, I've leveled up champs worth - 28 t4cc + I've got about 12-13 t4cc in my inventory. That's about 40 t4cc in 9 months.
4* champs at 5/50 are super useful, especially if they are duped.
I have Blade, Void and Dr Voodoo at 5/50 and they pull their weight through every quest. Duping a 5* is rare and honestly a 4* fills that gap once they are leveled up.
Most rare resource in game is the t2a and it is needed for 5 stars. T4bc are very easy to get now. You have to be selective in your upgrade, but god-tier champs are a no brainer.
I am upgrading Corvus next, duped 4*
Besides my 4/55 SL and 3/45 AA my 5* are trash.
I just pulled GR yesterday and he'll go to rank 3 next level up and maybe rank 4 but I'm undecided on that
Well the answer is in the content you have left. Just answer these easy questions.
Are you fully explored RTTL?
No - then yes god tier 4* r4+ will help
Are you fully explored story quests?
No - then god tier 4* will help more so then an okay 5*.
Are you in a alliance that runs starting prestige for alliance quest 8k+?
No - then god tier 4* will still clear the content
Anyways you see how this is going...
4* champs are viable in all the game content. Even in Labyrinth of legends (although I’d recommend not doing it with 4*).
A lot of people (myself included) heavily needed 4* champs to clear 100% act 5. So imo if you don’t have it done then using resources to rank up god tier 4* champs will be useful.
Not sure, maybe it's just my luck but I've found decent alliances. I am in a gold 3 alliance that does 5-3-3-3-3 maps and we're doing just fine. So, like you can see you don't need 5X5 alliances to have some good t4cc count.
Obviously ppl need to contribute, I've never stayed in an alliance more than 10 days where ppl slack. Been in this one for over 7 months now (basically most of my mcoc career).
Champs such as AA, Void, Blade, Dr Voodoo, and Iceman should be r5 if able. Dr voodoo is the MVP for red skull this event.
I clear 30k map 3 bosses with my 4*. I finish AW bosses with 4*. As long as they are the right ones.
That's a stupid argument. Just because there are no 5* versions doesn't mean you should R5 the 4*.First and foremost the champ in question should help you clear advanced content.
SW and Wolvie are still great champs, so yeah, I'd R5 them (although both classes have 3-5 options I'd prefer over these particular 2), but Thor is absolute trash. He needs 2 armor breaks to hit as hard as other cosmics. I daresay that more than half of the 5* are better choices for R3 than Thor is for R5 as 4*. Or do you still have v11 on your phone?
Currently working on ghost and wasp. They're in line after some other 5* champs I wanna take to r2 first
I grinded 4mil for KM and will take him to 5/50 because I feel he will come in handy against the autoblocking champs in AW.
People often get too tunnel visioned over 4* vs 5* . The fact is, 5* champions are not automatically better than their 4* versions in actual practice. First of all, 5* champions are harder to awaken and then sig up. Second, a 3/45 is still comparable to a 5/50 in terms of actual power: it tends to be (at equivalent signature level) slightly better, but often not very noticeably better.
In my opinion people need to think in terms of rank up tiers more than star tiers. There's (4*) 4/40, 5/50 (and 3/45), then 4/55 (aka 6* 1/25), then 5/65 (aka 6* 2/35). In other words, 5* doesn't come after 4*, 4/55 comes after 5/50. And 4/55s require T2 Alphas. Most players are only going to have so many of those, and it takes four to rank up a 4/55. Whether a 5* is better than a 4* is a theoretical question. The real question is whether you're going to rank that 5* to 4/55 in the foreseeable future. If you are, then you should probably consider holding off on ranking up its 4* version, although if you intend to use both it might still be worth ranking both. But if you do not see yourself ranking the 5* to 4/55, then if you intend to use the 4* immediately it is still worth ranking up the 4* version.
Saying you don't want to rank up the 4* because you have the 5* is meaningless if you don't actually rank up the 5* version because you can't afford to do so.
My AQ team is till 4* champs for this reason (plus most of my good 5* are in AW). I need bleed immunity for certain paths that I don't have available with my current 5* lineup.
No always. Medusa is very good for robots. Venompool can help save potions and cause bleed. Mephisto can regen a huge amount of his health. There are multiple goood options other than blade
