    I think once you have one of everyone you want on roster (which may not in fact be one of everyone possible) it's probably best to go hard on classics and keep a rotating "flex slot" that you fill with a single cover of the 4* reward from the previous PVE event and then replace with the required for the subsequent event. You'll have to be ready to throw away a lot of what seem like valuable covers, but just add new slots as you get the hp and start keeping your previous event's required, and eventually you'll have one of everyone on roster.

    As much as I love Classics, and as much as I think they're still undervalued among vets, I'm not sure I'd tell a new player to go into them. Once you've got everybody, then yes, for sure. Until then? I think I'd still recommend champing a set of 3 Latest first.

    Maybe I'm wrong though! Has anybody done this? Do the recent fixes make it a better idea?

    ...and maybe the whole idea is wrong? Maybe we shouldn't be so focused on how to go from 0 to CL10 as fast as possible, maybe new players should enjoy gradual progression and take their time building everybody up slowly?

    I guess it depends on your individual goals. I do think we should normalize wanting to build up slowly and gradually though.

    I was only recommending pulling Classics when your farms/rewards are producing more than 24 pulls per week (LT + CP). In that scenario, you’ll have extra CP to spend on Classics while continuing to champ Latest. It took me about 7 months to get to that point, but I never pulled Classics because I wanted to beef up Omega Red. If I continued playing, I would stop pulling Latest until CarMiles leaves, but use my CP on Classics each week. On a related note, my 5-star favorite shards produced 1 - 2 covers per week, so you can still build your metas to 550 without hoarding CP.

    But there’s another way you could do it: use your 5-Star favorite shards to finish/champ ALL Classics, then hoard CP for special stores a couple times a year to get your metas to 550. Personally, I like the idea of pulling Classics and slowly bringing my entire roster to 550 at the same time. This way I can fully take advantage of the weekly 5-star boosts, which slowly gets better over time.

    There’s a symbiotic relationship between building your top meta fighters and building your farms - they feed each other. I wouldn’t recommend building one side without the other. Even if you don’t care to be competitive, you can gain new usable characters faster this way (until you champ everyone).

    Meta breaking characters come along every 6 months or so. And the others in between them aren’t that bad, meaning good enough to win PVP battles. Perhaps you’ll need a health pack, but those are free every 35 min. From what I’ve seen, this can be done with any set of Latest 5-stars. Let’s say I missed Shang in Latest, what would have I done?

    No. You won't need just a healthpack every 35 minutes.
    Without meta characters restoring health like SC or okoye or OR you'll need health packs every battle, or just buying it: wasting resources and not playing optimally.
    Also in pve could mean x4 time and health packs.
    So you totally need meta characters in order to get more advantage of your resources.
    Not every LL serves.
    And of course, the time which is gold.
