Can I get 690k ISO in 13 days?

So what has turned into a huge regret (aside from getting all three goblin colors and a new BSSM color), I cashed in my 48 Legendary tokens/CP before BSSM and Phoenix dropped into tiny-percent-land. Got some good pulls, but ended up with 23 dupes, four of which I considered champing, but cut down to two for practicality (read 1.4 million ISO cost). So now I have four Rhulk covers and three Thing covers, so I'd like to champ them, but it's going to take 690K ISO, and I have less than 180K. I wish, I wish, I wish I had thought about how I couldn't afford to champ anything. I would have sat on the stash for months. It never occurred to me. Is it possible to get 690K ISO before they expire? I've thrown away so many covers.

    9 mother loads, Demiurge/D3/Google will thank you.
    Well they won't, really, but you'll be able to use your covers

    I'd rather *America's Funniest Home Videos Most Frequent Male Injury* myself and keep the $900. icon_e_smile.gif

    Max rewards on pve, deadpool and hitting at least 1k progression on pvps, as well as some light simulator and lightning rounds will get you 30-33k a day.

    690k/13 days is 53k+ a day. So probably not likely without some purchases

    After first run of Civil War, I had 3 extra Hulkbuster covers left over in my queue. HB was at lvl 99 and needed around 370k iso to max level, while I had zero iso left over. I really didn't want them to go to waste so I ground like a madman. PvE hitting all the iso rewards in nodes, LR getting to 250 with seed matches, regular PvP climbing to 800, cashing in taco tokens, hitting DDQ everyday, applying 3* covers to champ levels EVERYTHING.

    Result: After those two weeks, I just barely made it to 370k with 15 hours left on my HB cover. Burned myself out a bit too. icon_lol.gif

    I would recommend you choose 1 of them if you're going for it (probably rulk).

    Yeah, think you guys are right. After all the Things I avoided last few PVPs, wanted that in my playbook!

    Beg for another double ISO event? How about a double ISO season?

    Go with RHulk and sell the Thing covers. From a top tier perspective RHulk is much better. Unless they implement double ISO for every event it would take so much game play you would probably burn out.

    Sell them all! Wait no keep rhulk, you'll get to all them soon enough.

    Possible? Probably. But I'm gonna echo what's been said and say dump Thing. He's decent, but Rulk is way better, and the amount of grinding needed to get that kind of ISO would be soul-crushing.

    This is why I don't open a bunch of tokens at once. I have 400 cp saved up, but I'm not going to open then until I have the ISO to champ any 4*s that I draw. I'll open enough until I get someone I want to champ, then I'll save the rest for later.

    I know you want the better chance at OML, but it's not worth wasting that many 4* covers.

    if you ever want to know if you can gain that iso in the elotted time take that amount then divide by # of days you see then take a couple of days and retest if you feel you made alot of head room keep working.

    lets try and get an example just doing ddq lets say 96k/13=7385 (rounded) needed a day so you do ddq for that day only 4x you will need 81,116/9=9013 (rounded) needed a day so with that amount of iso and you just do ddq you will never get it but if farmed a lot more and knocked a couple hundred needed a day you will do it in the elotted time

    I find that it's definitely possible to take a 4* from about 190 to 270 in less than 14 days with diligent (but not constant) play. That's about 270k iso.

    Unfortunately, TC, you would need to earn iso at more than twice that rate. I would guess that you will end up being able to champ 1 but not both.

    (and uless you have Xpool, it's really no contest: Rulk is the way to go. Hell, even if you do have Xpool to pair with thing, Rulk is probably still the better option)

    It's possible, as long as you don't have a job and don't care about sleep. You can farm the shield sim til you're blue in the face.

    If you do DDQ every day and cash in the tokens, you need about 452k after that.

    About 160 iso per match on average (30 + ~130 in rewards), figure ~20 matches per hour. That's 3200 an hour. That's like 141.25 hours of play, or about 11 hours a day for 13 days.

    Probably a bit less than that since you can farm LRs for two days which are much faster matches/hour.

    So doable? Yes. Healthy? Probably not.
