Champions 2.0 - Batch #4 Info

bluewolf

I never said there would not be a point in hoarding. Everyone can enjoy it as they like. I’m just saying I don’t foresee any major game reward overhaul such that a hoard of a particular token would give you a significant advantage for a while.

But on a long enough timeframe, who knows?

Note: hoarding Latests as I don’t want any Peggy’s and haven’t opened any in a few weeks as I also had enough Miles.

Once I really broke into the 5* tier I started hoarding Legendary pulls (tokens and CPs) to maximize the better 5 stars. Essentially I pull the current 5 star until I'm satisfied with how high they are, then stop. This has lead into some weird "Hmmm, I want more, say, Peggy, but I'm getting a lot of Hunter, so just how much do I want to pull more?" I'm pretty flush for LTs at the moment, too, so that gives me a lot of discretion in what I may want to do with my CP -- I like to dabble in the 5* Release store (if I want the 3 5*s anyway,) and Classics, but generally don't spend more than 40-50 pulls.

Like many people above, I generally only hoarded to fully cover and level the new 3* on the 3/5 releases, so my "normal" tokens get pretty much completely flushed every month, though I've been hoarding Standards since they implemented Ascension with only occasionally pulling a few to dabble in getting the third cover for, say, Yelena.

Is there a way to see what the stats will be once ascended, vulture seems like a no brainer to ascend but I am curious.

Bowgentle

No.
You have to look at other people's rosters.

I hate that the ascend button blocks you from reviewing the champ level rewards. I used to like to click on a max character and be able to click to see what shards/covers they give in game. But seems like you can't view that info after the ascend button made its way in game.

Today I learned that "CHAMPION MAXED!" (below the character's level) has been a clickable button this whole time. I had always assumed you lost the ability to review Champ rewards at Max level, since the button on non-Max Champs was the "NEXT REWARD" button above the character's level, while the "LEVEL UP" button below it did not show rewards... so that's maybe not the greatest design, to take things away and move them and re-name them and assume players will figure it out?

Someone told me that relatively recently but considering I've been playing for little over 6.5 years... yeah not good design on that one.

You cannot break down the Ares so you will need to ascend them as needed. I recommend merging two maxes 2s, then level the new 3 to max. Then merge two more 2s and decide if you want to max rewards on the new 3 or just go to a 4 asap.

After you max out the new 4 you start again to eventually get a 5.

For Venom you will need 3 of the new power for each copy before you can ascend them. Keep an eye out for the vault on Monday.

It took me YEARS before I realized you can tell which CD tiles belong to which goon characters because they pulse when you scroll through the enemy team.

Depends on when you started playing. When the game was first released this feature didn't exist and so you had no idea which goon placed the CD when there were 2 identical goons. It wasn't until 3 years or more that the feature was added to have it pulse when you rotated through characters. It wasn't widely announced either as a new feature so many players didn't know it was added.

Was it even narrowly announced?

Is it in the tutorial now?

I might have been playing before it was in the game. Been playing a long time, but it was still years after it was in the game that I heard about it on the forums.

WilliamK1983

Count me in not knowing about the cd tiles as well. During the Apoc boss we just had I noticed when clicking on a stunned enemy, they have a stunned icon(black spiral line). Not as useful as the cd tiles obviously, still took about three years for me to notice.

Jinx

Wow. I started playing about 2 weeks after the game released and I never knew that.

This game has a tutorial?!?!?

The pulse thing has been around for years. It was very useful in the early days when 3 star Dr Strange was released so you knew which enemy to target first with his passive. Also like the 2 star DDQ node with Storm's blue stun (any character with stun too, like Polaris). It is also handy with Kitty so you can target the enemy with the lowest countdown tile on the board.

103 standard tokens and only 2 green venom tokens, that’s ridiculous

There is a vault with 5 of them.
