ISO or HP cost for particular boosts

V1rusHunter

I can't find where the costs in ISO or HP for each particular boost. I know the all color boost costs 100hp for a pack of 10 and the two color stockpiles are 200 ISO for a pack of 5. But what about the others? Ichave a hoard and rather not use them just to determine cost. Reply or link is welcome.

I almost never use match damage boosts and thus never run out. I do know the crit damage boosts are 150 iso.

The only boost I use are ap boosts. They are 200 ISO. I would not recommend buying boosts with HP. You are spending 100 HP for 1-2 matches and that is not a great investment. You earn 3 AP boost to all every PVP so I just save them for a run at 1300 in PVP when there is someone I really want. Even shield hopping you can get away with no using AP boosts to all.

The cost of boosts should be measured in opportunity cost. If you don't have AP+3 all boosts there's probably a 25% chance you'll have to pay at least one health pack while fighting X Force because that's what happens if he uses any of his moves on virtually anyone, which is 50 HP to replenish, or you can use 3 AP+3 all boosts which I think is 10 HP each (never ran out to verify) for 30 HP to greatly reduce the chance of that happening. Now that'd be 30 HP versus 25% * 50 = 12.5 HP, so you're coming out behind here, but that's a rather simplistic scenario. If you're fighting without full health now you may have to worry about just using one health pack because now a move from X Force may very well kill a guy instead of just bring that guy to dangerously low, and this may cause you to lose the match which has a cost of 150 HP (3 health pack) and a lot of negative PvP points. On the other hand if you're 99% confident that having AP+3 all boosts will let you kill X Force before he uses his moves then now the propositoin is 30 HP (to boost) versus 25% * 150 (for losing) = 37.5 HP. Now of course you could just not buy health packs either, but you don't necessarily always have a choice here if you're desperate to hit some milestones. You could use a shield (75 HP), but again you might not necessarily have the time to wait another 3 hours to try again depending on the exact circumstance.

It's generally a bad idea to buy HP boosts but there's a point where you can be desperate enough to need them. They're still, on average, much cheaper than risking losing, provided there's something tangible to win in the first place.

Thanks for the replies. I forgot to subscribe to my own topic.

I was looking for more of the cost for things that don't require hp purchase. I found out with a second account that other ones cost 100 ISO for a 5 pack so I got my answer.

Good analysis for the two replies above. Something to think about when I think about using AP vs buying more health packs.
