Has anyone championed Devil Dinosaur? I'm curious if he has a special reward progression, as Bagman does.0

It would be pretty hard to champion him. You would need him already maxed but to be under 365 days play time so you can still get his covers as a daily supply award.0 -
I saw a screenshot of someone who did, but I don't know who.0

I agree it would be extremely difficult, to put it mildly, but I'm hoping that the devs acknowledge that fact and his rewards are insanely good. I'm past Day 365 and need ~160 more levels on my Dino, so it's not something I'd even remotely have a chance at until the next anniversary, unless something changes in the meantime with his availability...and my iso acquisition.simonsez wrote:I saw a screenshot of someone who did, but I don't know who.
I'm glad to know someone out there has enough extra iso to consider championing DD0 -

I feel like he is the most useless out there. I have 5 covers so I'm hesitant to drop him but my goodness he seems just poor poor poor0

Star-Lord's Everyone With Me + Dancing Dino Purple + ProX = 1 Purple AP for board shake that creates three special tiles.
If you've never won a match just by dancing, you've never lived.0 -
I thoroughly enjoy using Devil Dinosaur with Kamala Khan because DD's purple becomes a 3ap heal (cheapest move I can think of in the game, and he dances!) and two 5ap damaging-heals. Throw in a Hood or Black Panther for black/blue coverage and an active yellow, and you are groovin'.0

Devil Dino used to have a discount on his level costs. But when I checked him today he is costed the same as all other 4* characters. When was he migrated from the special cost model onto the standard? And why wasn't this change signposted before it was made?0

So, through the magic of RNG during the last anniversary, I ended up with a 5/3/5 Devil Dinosaur (I even had to sell two purples), even though I don't have any other 4* characters especially well covered (I have 8 covers on Ant-Man, Captain Falcon and Nick Fury, 6 on Hulkbuster and only 1-4 on the others I have). I've only just started championing my 3*'s (8 champs, all in the 167-169 range--the rest are soft-capped at 144, pending iso) and have mostly max-champed my 2*'s (I restarted Captain America, Captain Marvel & Thor, after having them at 144 before--the others are all maxed). I have one 5*, a 1/1/0, level 255 Iron Man.
While the obvious next step for my roster would be to continue champing all my 3*'s, I'm entertaining the idea of bringing my Dino from level 145 to max so I can get champ rewards for him during the next anniversary week. My logic is that it'll only delay some 3*'s I use less, like Daredevil and MoStorm or ones I want to keep under-leveled, like Hood and Loki. Also, having a ~270-280 Dino presumably won't impact my scaling more than having 3 5*'s, which I hope to have by the time the anniversary rolls around (I'll get Surfer from resupply and hope to at least get one from legendary tokens). On the downside, having a ~270-280 Dino won't really help me much at all, other than increasing the silliness of my roster.
So, is this idea completely stupid or only mostly stupid?0 -
I had 2/2/2 DD but sold him because he is so rare and I needed roster slot...0

Not stupid at all! I max-covered mine in the 2nd anniversary and champed him the day the system went live. (But then, I'm a fan of oddball characters and seriously considered spending a CP stockpile on some more Howard covers before realizing I should wait until after the 2nd "duck season" to see how many more I'd need.) I do actually use my (5/5/3) Devil Dino quite a bit on trash mobs in PVE, partially for the speed/cheap cost of his two attacks, and also as I find him... here's the kicker... "fun", which is something I still find (and make my own of) in this game when not trying to optimize playstyle for a major PVE/PVP grind.
Re: spending the ISO to max him; Things to consider:
i) How much ISO do you have? Would it be better spent elsewhere on a character that would bring further/greater value in the immediate or long term? (At the time I maxed DD, I would've rather put it towards Iceman and HB, but they were capped already as I'd had terrible luck getting both of their covers)
ii) it used to cost 20% less ISO to max level Devil Dino as a trade-off for his rarity; so it was an easier choice for me to do so after last anniversary when I max covered him and was sitting on a stockpile of ISO. I believe I recall that after the champ system went live (or some other patch this year?) that amount was normalized to be equal to all other 4*s, whether accidental or intended on the part of the devs. (Is this still the case? I can't tell, as my DD is maxed, but maybe someone else can confirm.)0 -
Just so you know, I'm doing the same thing now, 1x lvl a day....
At mid lvls (<200) you get like 20% "free" of iso each lvl, so if it says 2000iso, you get around 350-400 free. After 200, it gets lower to like 10-15% (I'm on lvl 215 or so right now).
So the iso to level him doesn't make any sense and it's hard to budget how much ISO8 it'll take.
Mine's 544, can't wait to champ him to 553....0 -
Very confusing. So you're saying, don't use the level him up a lot button, but there is still a discount in effect if you go one level at a time?0

That's correct. I had my DD at Level 255 and decided to use the new influx of iso from the shield ranks to champion him. The button to max him claimed he needed 65,166 to go from 255-->270. When I did it one level at a time, it only took 58,800. Apparently, for reasons unknown, the discount for leveling Devil Dino is still in effect but well hidden.0 -
Thanks! I was reluctant to level him because it appeared he no longer had the discount... Now just gotta wait for the next anniversary event to drop some champ covers for him!0
