So, I've been thinking about the Summoner Advancement Alliance Challenge and the recent changes to it.
-It is the main source of 5* crystal shards for us outside of quests we'll only be able to do once
-It can also be a decent source of 4* shards
Those are definitely true.
I'm wondering the following are also true for everyone else (they are for me):
-1* and 2* heroes are completely unused and useless, except to generate 3* shards from duping
-3* heroes are marginally used (only in arenas really, and to generate 4* shards via duping)
-I have more iso available than I can spend
IF the above is also true for most of us, we should strongly consider selling ALL of our 1* and 2* heroes.
The SA challenge only gives 5 points for duping a 1* and 10 points for duping a 2*. BUT, it gives those same respective points for EACH level you raise a 1 or 2*. Rank is irrelevant.
Given this, if you sell ALL of your 1 and 2*s, and then when you get a new one, you immediately level them to 10 and sell them again, you'll be generating 100 points per 2* draw instead of 10 points. And the majority of crystals we open give us 2*s.
I think if we utilized this method, we could score higher in the SA challenge, and get 4*/5* crystals at a faster rate.
The only downside is that when you sell a 1/10 2* you only get 30 3* shards, versus 55 for duping. I think the benefits greatly outweigh that sacrafice though.
Thoughts?
