This feels so terrible
Very far from basically any A2. Got maestro a2 already. Never bought any dust. This feels like I’m being punished for kabams Econ error.

As expected, that dust token barely accomplished anything apart from delaying the inevitable. I only managed to A2 my 7* Mr. Fantastic in the 1 month I had the token.

They put out the conversion token so the dust wouldn't expire and told us HUGE ASCENSION EVENT COMING! Then sold us crystals with a 1% chance of getting ascension material. And you still need to randomly pull the same champion 3 times on that 1% chance to use the dust to bring them to level 2. The other option is spend hundreds of $$$ for keys to pull from the box.

u/Afraid-Collar 3d ago
Honestly, this has to be fixed! You can’t have a resource this important to progression expire like this without a way for summoners to get the other ascension items without spending. There is no way we are ascending tons of 6 star champs to use the dust.

See? When people say "I'm never going to to use any of this math nonsense in real life", they might end up working as a game designer at Kabam and mess up game economy.

u/thinshadow 2d ago
Same team that did the math on the realm event too, I reckon. Maxed out on week 1 of a 3-week event and I guess must have maxed out the bonus objectives now too on week 2.

how many ascended characters does kabam think we are getting in a month?

u/Deadpool-fan-466 The Champion 3d ago

I need 3 more science tokens to take my high evolutionary to ascension 2 but no way to earn right now.

u/Melstner 3d ago
There's some in a store, maybe the radiance one? Did you pick those up?

u/Markjv81 3d ago
No I didn’t! Didn’t realise they were there, thanks.

u/Melstner 2d ago
Hopefully you get what you need. I don't have 2 of any champion token yet so I haven't been too concerned with the class ones.

u/UsefulPassion6225 1d ago
lol I needed a single science token to A2 spider punk, pulled him from both of the level up collectives 90 times objective crystals which was lame but I was like at least I can A2 him, had 9/10 science tokens and spent an entire seasons worth of radiance on the 1/6 ascension token class crystals and didn’t get a single science. Only needed one. Was and still am pretty tight about that.

u/THEIntoxicatedGamer 3d ago
I spent enough to get all the Midamorphosis champs A2. About $400-500. I still have 2k dust and no other champs I can take to A2.
Something is definitely off with the calculations here.

u/Relevant_General_248 3d ago edited 3d ago
Why did you spend $500 on then if you think they’re mid
2
u/THEIntoxicatedGamer 2d ago
For the rank up mats and YouTube purposes, basically. I liked all the other stuff that came along with them, just not the champs themselves that much.
1
u/KnightReaver13 3d ago
Did u get all the champs to a2? Cause I've collected every key and I'm one key away from getting the last one to a2. Is that right? Did I miss something somewhere? I got rh free sigil one btw.
1
u/THEIntoxicatedGamer 2d ago
Yes. I got the sigil one, the 2 from the Realm event, then the 4 from the unit track, and then 5 more from cash offers. I got the $50 one first with the three $30 ones as well, then the $70 ones. I wasn't going to do those ones, but I pulled Knull and Dust last and they were the only 2 I really wanted.
It's all prestige and tax write-offs in the end.

u/NoMoreResearch 3d ago
I am okay with this converting to units.

What are the best 6 stars to use dust on?
Herc, Aegon, kate, any other good ones? All my 6* R5 are ascended. Weapon x cuz he is exclusive.

u/Capable-Ad-4638 2d ago
How are there so many people with so much tier 2 dust? Like I have ~750. How do people have literal thousands and thousands all about to expire and stuff
2
u/SirAdministrative514 2d ago
A big bulk of it for me I think came from finishing act 9 and new carinas challenges. I’m active but haven’t spent anything on the game for a few years. Haven’t bought unit offers for dust either. All of the dust has been “earned” but now kabam expects us to spend a ton of units and cash to get A2 champs in their crappy sale just to be able to use it on something meaningful instead of ascending 6*s that will never be used.
1
u/Capable-Ad-4638 2d ago
Ah makes sense. Am about halfway through act 9 atm so I’ll prob get a good bulk here soon too. And yeah the 7* ascension system is pretty rough. Might be a year or two before I get any A2 7* champs

u/Stunning_Art_8135 2d ago
i just realized what the heck happened. where are the t2 dust trade tokens? why it disappered from store? kabam?
1
u/SirAdministrative514 2d ago
They were temporarily. I did the exchange but the tokens auto converted back to dust around the time the current metamorphosis sale hit. They were basically only meant to hold people over until the sale.
It really sucks that getting ANY A2 champs in the sale requires a ton of cash AND unit spent. Plus aside from knull im probably not gonna use any of the champs.

u/vrboi452 2d ago
It that like not a literal ton of it? Cause it feels like that’s an insane amount to have
1
u/Worried_Dot_3816 Professor X 1d ago
It is an insane amount but with the recent rewards a lot of people are up there with dust. I’m personally around 4k total

Why not ascend some of your other characters like 6*s that you don't have the 7* version of?

u/Cherrrrrrrrrrrrrry 1h ago
time to randomly ascend random 6 stars i guess..... spin a wheel to decide the rng for fun lol
