After you get past the point where you are scraping to get together a team that works, the next question is, what of the sea of Common, Rare, Ultra-Rare, and Epic troops should I be focusing on? I think it’d be very helpful to assemble a list directed to helping these players, as well as more advanced players who have significant holes in their collections. The closest thing I was able to find to this kind of resource was this old thread.
Criteria:
-
Being usable in the endgame pvp/gw in tandem with higher-rarity troops. Think your empowered converters: they fill a unique niche.
-
Having good scaling abilities that permit use in all the higher-leveled content with higher-rarity troops. There are not many of these below Legendary rarity, which is why we also focus on…
-
Substitution: while players should eventually be able to accumulate all Legendary-rarity troops and below, Mythics are harder to obtain for all but the most hard-core players. Some troops are obsolete in the endgame, but can work as a decent substitute if a player doesn’t have the Mythics, and stand out as significantly better than their peers. This is especially true for the scaling content. I think it would be good to identify and mention these options as well. (Example: Rowanne. However, let’s not include troops like Zephyros, great early game pulls that don’t scale well enough to use in the endgame.)
-
Resource generation. This is why Sunbird and Firebomb are on the list. I’ve also included a handful of soul-generation troops, for those who must scrape by without Pharos-Ra.
-
No faction troops will be included - I’m focusing on chest pulls for now on this list.
Here is a starting point. Please let me know what I’m missing from the list (or if I included something that’s useless to endgame players).
(Note that there can be strong strength disparities; they just have to be late-game viable, not equal to each other.)
