jredd said: the difference between gambit + whoever and thorkoye is thorkoye is easily beatable by a variety of other characters (some 4* too) where gambit was hard to beat unless you had your own. getting to 900 isn't too difficult, even facing thorkoye teams or jj or whomever.

OJSP said: It sounded like you’re already satisfied with what you’re achieving now, therefore there’s really no need to transition further. However, to be competitive in PvE CL9 and to get 1200 in PvP, it’s generally accepted that we need a good selection of 5*s now (there are always exceptions to the rule).

Richyyy said: I've definitely found it easier to hit 900 since moving on to 5*s. I used to join late and aim for the CP at 575, then quit, because of how dispiriting and tedious it was constantly being knocked down while trying to climb to 900 (and shield-hopping was a pain I only rarely bothered with).
Nick441234 said: I hit 900 in every PVP I tried for, for at least the last year, of playing in 4* land. I haven't hit 900 even once yet while in 5* land. I get hit all the time and I wont shield so I just accept that 575 is now my 900.

See again I don’t know why my experience is so different. Can I ask when you were a 4* player what your roster was like. Did you have most the boosted champed, were they around the same level, etc.

That’s so weird because I remember a time when that push from 800 to 900 was a real struggle. Then it just stopped. I swear while there are a few exceptions, I mostly just push to 900 in one run and at most take 3 hits and many times none at all. I don’t know if it’s because I built my roster wide (almost all champed but none over level 310) and not tall and so I’m more protected from 5* teams? It’s a pretty good place and scary to leave.
CHRISJN said: Yes, it is basically hard in 5* to climb 900pts than 4*, but there is another option. If you dont care about placement and only want progression cp and 4* cover, is go by 40 wins. If You can, go to 75wins.I usually join very early in slice 3 and immediately start when the slice I selected started (roughly 2d xxhrs). Not many people are playing seriously at this hour, so slowly doing it is fine. i can get to 75 maybe after 4-5 hrs of continuous play. Float for the most of the event then hit retals on the last 8hrs where those points become higher. This option though needs health packs and dedicated time.
