(And thank you for doing this. I was one of those ignorant players of 3 years experience who assumed Difficulty wouldn’t influence token rarity. There’s just so many “gotcha” elements that keep getting added with almost every update. It’s disheartening to say the least.)
Mythic troops are released faster than you can grind the medals for them. I’ll stay at D10 because trying to make all my troops elite is a fool’s errand.
That is ill-advised; unless you experience a significant increase in speed at the lower difficulty, you will gain 15% more Medals on average from Difficulty 12.
Just got my first Nysha Medal, out of a total of 51 medals (9, 12, 22, 5, 2, 1): thanks again for the odds above, so I know I’m within expectations and thus avoid wondering/frustration.
This makes a lot of sense, because I only do Explore 12 and I’m getting Token of Cedric left and right, and common logic tells me that I should be seeing Common and Rare tokens more than Ultra-Rare tokens, but because of the difficulty level, they’ve increased the chances of seeing Ultra-Rare and higher and decreased the Rare and Common.
See, the problem I had with this is that I want to upgrade my Bounty troops, but I don’t want to waste Ultra-Rare medals on Rare Troops (that is, Medal of Yasmine is already 100%, so why would I use Medal of Cedric). But… if I’m having Medal of Cedric drop more often than Medal of Yasmine, it makes sense I should just use that to upgrade, instead of farming a lower difficulty (which impacts my ability to get legendary and mythic tokens).
So I guess in the end… I will be using the Ultra-Rare Medal of Cedric to upgrade my Rare Bounty Hunter Troops.
Well, because Medal of Cedric is the most common drop in D12, you should actually use it to upgrade Rare troops all the way to Gold, with one Medal for each rarity. While one Medal of Yasmine will upgrade it 100% to Bronze, it takes 2 to get to Silver, then 3 to get it to Gold, because Medal of Yasmine is more rare than Medal of Cedric, so it makes very little sense to use it over Medal of Cedric.
That said… it might be worth it to at least use one Medal of Yasmine for the first upgrade to Bronze, then switch to Medal of Cedric. I imagine you could get at least one Medal of Yasmine for every two Medal of Cedric.
In theory, yeah, but then you end up overstocking on Yasmine since you never actually end up using it on anything and you leave yourself with not enough Cedrics to level your Ultra Rare troops.
guess it depends on your priority of troops to upgrade.
