Generally there's quite a long period of time before the old stuff becomes totally unusable, but it always does. Tons of highly successful games operate this way.

Generally there's quite a long period of time before the old stuff becomes totally unusable, but it always does. Tons of highly successful games operate this way. In a way, the buff list can be thought of as a temporary retirement for all the non-buffed characters. The idea being that the buffed characters are so good that you don't want to use the other ones so they are 'temporarily retired' that week. Obviously since some 5*s are MUCH better than the average one it doesn't work out quite that way but that's sort of the gist of it.As for retiring from tokens, I hope at some point the classic token pulls will get split into 2 (or more). Say 2015-2018 classic legends and 2019-2021 legends where each group contains the 4/5* releases from those years. That would help with the dilution in that at least you could narrow your search down if you wanted to cover an older character (you gotta champ them all or some older character is a personal favorite from comics/movies etc).KGB
