Progressing to 4* in game

The Herald

Let's do what the Devs haven't gotten around to and catalogue what they've done to help speed players up. It's all in there, and I'm sure they're working on more, but it just kind of happens (and sometimes flops).

VIP
28 day paid perk, gives you 2 Legendary Recruit tokens plus some other perks that help.

Daily Progression
The high level covers are in there! CP too.

Story Progression
If you clear everything 4-ish times you get a 4* cover (currently AWOL) and 25 CP.

Champion Rewards
4* covers, Tokens, AND CP.
There are also Food Chains where certain 2*s feed certain 3*s pushing the slow 4* pay out a bit faster.

Clash of the Titans
You won't be doing these early, but it let's characters you HAVE progressed earn more LTs.

General tip for newer players: Never bin a 4* cover early! It's a pain, but you need to cast a wide net and accumulate them wherever you can.

If I've missed some, I'll edit this post.
