How much ISO needed to max 3* characters?

  • Thanks to getting 2 lucky purple spideys I got enough values to estimate the Iso costs for ***s.
    My highest check value is for lvl 100, so I might be off a little bit, but I'm pretty sure it's about a 170k to fully level a 3 star hero.

    Thanks for doing this.

    Here are a few more data points for you.

    Level 110 to 111 is 2027 ISO
    Level 114 to 115 is 2093 ISO
    Level 140 to 141 is 2604 ISO
  • I created a Google Drive spreadsheet to collect data and then we can transfer final results to Wiki. All contributions are welcomed! -> Link

    I assume these are for 3 stars? (4 star is only other and very unlikely possibility, but gotta be sure icon_e_wink.gif )
  • Copied some stuff over to yours. But I don't know if its really worth the effort to collect all values, basically it's just a slope of 20 iso/lvl with some variance that evens out over the levels.
    BTW if 4 stars follow the same rules, start saving up 500k to max one icon_razz.gif

    Those numbers are all for 3*'s. Leveling the current 4*'s to these levels would be a massive waste of ISO.

    I had started tracking EXP/HP when I started leveling Grey Suit from scratch. It's all in this google doc:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... sp=sharing

    (Not sure if I got the link right, I've never shared a Google Doc before.)

    I meant to continue it after 50, but forgot about it. If it helps, feel free to use it, though.

    If it were just 2 or 3 of us, then definitely not, but I hope for more contributors icon_e_smile.gif Also the more data points, the more precise guesses will be.
    The difference between wiki and actual values is about 2k for 3 stars by level 60 already.

    Boosted my 3* Mag from 110 to 116 today. I updated those values on the spreadsheet.
  • Just couple days and we almost have full leveling cost table of all characters except 4 stars, but that's understandable.

    Only 8 level up costs missing for 2 stars
    18 level up costs for 3 stars

    Thanks everyone for contributions so far! icon_mrgreen.gif Hopefully we can finish 2 and 3 stars in a day or two.

    Link is in signature if anyone looking for it icon_e_wink.gif
  • WOW! This forum and community of players is awesome. I was expecting only estimates from my original post, and instead get a spreadsheet with exact figures for all levels for all character classes!
    Amazing. Thanks Shikao and all those who contributed!

    Yeah, I love it too. People engage in different projects quite eagerly, e,g. Daily Rewards list, and sometimes we even get help from developers, like it is in case of Max Level Stat list..

    Well, not for all of them. 4 stars is quite empty, but it's no surprise. I was leveling my Hawkeye Modern for The Hunt and thanks to that was able to finish off table for 2 stars. Now we need just info for 12 levels for 3 stars and I guess it will be end of it for some time.
  • So the 2* info appears to be complete. Total cost level a single 2* is about $150 if you bought the ISO. 3* info is incomplete, but it looks like about 3x as much. Nevermind about buying HP for covers if you needed to finish out character. That's why the game isn't necessarily pay to win. Anyone paying to win is seriously laying down some big cash.

    One thing that I like about this game is that paying money won't get you THAT far ahead - it keeps the gap between the have and have-nots as small as possible. Another thing to consider is that eventually, everybody will have maxed characters (or close to it), and the difference will matter even less.
  • 3 stars that max at 141 from whatever level they start at (i think its 15) take exactly 172764 ISO to get to max level

    Which really makes the ISO bundles they sell look all that more laughable. About $300 to max level a 3* if you buy all the ISO.

    yea lol

    for 3 stars that max at lvl 115 it is exactly 111154 ISO

    2 star 69 : 45370
    2 star 85: 69530
  • That's my only real complaint with the game, that you really get very little in-game value for buying HP or ISO. This info puts it in perspective, that it keeps the game from being pay to win, but it certainly discourages me from spending any cash at a much smaller level. Any decision to purchase would be mostly just to support something I like and get a bit of in-game bonus to go with it. It might be worth it to spend $5 early in the game to buy cover slots after the changes to that progression, but I'm well past that point.
  • 2 weeks after start of this topic, 8 days since I started my spreadsheet, with great help from the community, we finally arrived at answer to the original questions icon_mrgreen.gif

    The cost of maxing 3* character from level 15 is 172,764 iso icon_e_smile.gif

    As hinted to some people already, I prepared a surprise for the completion of spreadsheet (well, at least for 1-3 stars) icon_idea.gif

    Calculators!
    The spreadsheet is now view only, so to use the calculators you either have to copy it to your drive or download it.

    First one calculates iso required to level from level X to level Y
    Second one will show you what level can you reach when your character is level X and you have Y iso.

    Enjoy! icon_e_biggrin.gif
  • Cool, so in the end I was only off by 700 Iso for lvl 141 icon_e_smile.gif
  • Good work shikao icon_e_biggrin.gif
