    @Codex I don't exactly regret it, since I was a good experiment in seeing how long it takes to get a 3* to 5* naturally, no purchases, no swaps. But I probably would have targeted other more useful 3* to ascend. I could have done the same experiment with 3* Magik, Honey Badger, or Jubilee who are all pretty good when ascended, and came out roughly the same time.

    Or even just getting some people up to 4* level like a 3a4 Iron May.

    Thanks. I see target choice was most disappointing. Did you go the max- max route? I have been doing max-min and i am pretty close to IM being my 1st 3a5.

    I was all over the place. I did Max-Max for the first set of 3's, then max-min(+1) for the second set of 3's, then Max-min (+1) for the 3a4s.

    Average cover rate I calculated was ~15 covers a week (+25 covers coming from the 4 weeks boosted ).

    Timeline (considering that as a new 3*, she had bonus draw rate for 4 weeks)From launch (with the bonus rate:

    • Week 1-6: Max the first 3* at 266
    • Week 7-15: Max the second 3* at 266; ascended to 4*
    • Week 16-39: Max the 4* to 370
    • Week 40-48: Max the third 3* at 266
    • Week 49-52: Champ the 4th 3* (+3 covers), ascend to 4*, ascend to 5*
