What's a reasonable Iso flow rate? [Poll]

I voted for 50k/day.

This will pretty much guarantee you one 4* champ a week. Given how long it actually takes to max cover one of those characters, making you wait at all to champ them just seems mean.

Ugh, wish people would stop bumping up ages old threads. I keep not-realising they're old.

If you get 30k per day then 14 days gets you 420k, which is enough to keep up with the release rate as far as 4*s go, no matter how hardcore (or not) you are. Once you get into 5* land I suppose you're competing against whales anyway; there's no reason to expect to keep on top of the whole game without spending.

Eventually they'll start amping up the 5* release rate and the 4* game will fade into the background, and 30k per day will stop being fair, but as it stands right now, 30k is doable and is fine.

If only there was some way to auto-lock topics past a certain age.

Voted for 30k previously, but now that I'm in 4* champion mode, I have changed my vote to 50k

Okay I've changed my mind. I have two Winter Soldier covers running out in 9 and a half days and he's now at 12 covers and I have the 120CP to buy the last cover.

I need 270k ISO in 9-10 days. So as high as you can make it, I'll take it.

i think it should depend on where you are at i think we should leave it where it is but give a tiny passive boost to iso gained by what characters are in your roster
1 base +1 iso, maxed +2 (+ 3 total)
2 base +2 iso, maxed +3, champed +5 maxed +5(+15 total)
3 base +5 iso, maxed +10, champed 1% maxed 2% (+15, +3%)
4 base +1%, maxed +2%, champed +3%, maxed +5% ( total +10%)
5 base +2.5%, maxed +5.0%, Champed +7.5% maxed +15% + 1 hp (25% + 1 HP per reward)

or something, this is kinda hard to balance

Voted 20k per day.


This would allow me to level & Champion a 4* before the cover rots (14 days).

If I'm *SUPER* active, I can just barely pull this off (hitting all the LRs I can, DDP, PvE, PVP)... but it's stressful. I finished leveling Punisher (MAX) with less than a day to go.

So I vote 20k... 20k if I'm not "ball busting" my way through every possible option for earning... selling the only 144 2* I have, just to finish in time...


20k at a pace of PVP or PVE (not requiring both)...

When I was keeping track of ISO gains, I was getting about 40-50k a day on average without counting shield ranks or flipping max champed 2*. With those included, I had some days in the 85-110k range. I could probably level a 5* from 255-450 before a 14th cover expired without putting money into the game, so I think ISO is at a reasonable flow eventually, but it takes a while to get to that point.

75 would be nice, and obviously 100K would be nicer........for a 4* roster. I earn about 40K iso per day, between DDQ, PVE Clears/end grinds, and PVP (this includes the SHIELD intercepts). Before intercepts, that number would be maybe 30K. When I was building up my 3-stars still, that was more than enough to be able to champ 2-3 characters before covers expired.

For 4-stars however, I need anywhere between 300-370K to champ these people. That's about a week and half, assuming that the PVE isn't the gauntlet . To be honest, I'm fine with the rate I currently acquire that much ISO - my bigger issue is with the expiring covers. I wouldn't care about my ISO intake at all if I wasn't always racing against the clock. But since I am, I'd rather not have to be freaking out about squeezing every drop of ISO possible out of every day, OR ELSE. It leads to a lot of burnout, and I feel like I want breaks from the game a lot more often. I'd have no problem grinding that much if it could directly equate to that much ISO daily, be worth the price. As of now however, that's why I don't really see the value in Lightning Rounds.

Do feel or in numbers see that ISO-8 income has been lower the last couple of months?
Boss event och that 2x48 hour sub PVE aside, that is.
I haven't tracked my inflow but it feels like I'm not getting as much as I used to.

I want more. More ISO-8.

This is where the 2* farm would fill the gap. I just championed my 42nd 4* and the new 3* starlord and now the only covers I have left in queue are 2*. Time to reinvest ISO into the farm

The actual ISO lost amount is 7779. However you gain up to 289xp in the process. If you factor in xp at 10-15 iso each and whatever champion levels rewards the 3x 3* covers and the 5x heroics give, it's probably closer to break even.
