Help Cosmic Egg VTD

4 Upvotes

Hello, i've been playing this game on and off for years but recently I spent mysterium on the venom the duck gacha and managed to pull him, as well as purchasing the yolk for the six star cosmic egg relic. I'm using him as a 7* r2 and have noticed that if you only bank 5 persistent buffs in the first two fights, you can bank 3 additional buffs the next fight bypassing the cap of 6 to have 7 or 8 banked buffs.

My question is just, is this well known or intended? Or should I not invest into this strategy as my bruiser for questing as it may be patched?

Arena Rewards Haven’t Kept Up with the Game: They No Longer Match the Grind

15 Upvotes

Kabam needs to upgrade arena rewards. The Feature Arena should award a 7★, and the Basic Arena should award a 6★.

Why? Both arenas demand heavy grinding, yet the rewards no longer match the effort players put in. Updating them would make the system fairer, more motivating, and more aligned with how the game has evolved.

If you get a Kabam survey, push for this change, and let’s turn it into a community campaign.

42 Upvotes

I mean , I see lot of criticism and it's perfectly fine with me but I don't see the point, this game is very much enjoyable for the most part and what I can't tackle rn I still consider it a challenge and it ends there. Ps I don't play BG and it doesn't ruin my experience.

Discussion Book 3 predictions?

Thumbnail
gallery
72 Upvotes

With the Chronoserpent’s defeat by Carina and the Summoner, at the very end of the Epilogue, what do we think Book 3 will focus on?
Kabam Vincent already confirmed that the Epilogue is not considered to be Act 10, despite the game itself loading it as Act 10. So therefore we should still see a Book 3 with Act 10, 11, 12 and so on.

My theory is that Book 3 will focus on the ancient history of the Battlerealm, especially now that the Chronoserpent has been defeated. The Chronoserpent and Ouroboros storyline dealt with time, reality, and the survival of the Battlerealm. The next step would be to explore something even more fundamental: Who originally created the Battlerealm, what was its intended purpose, and what secrets have the Founders and Eidols been hiding?

And this brings us back to another point: the Eidols. We spent most of last year, similar to the Deathless, and now Stellar Forged champions, chasing these Eidols, spending cash to pay for their pieces, completing content, or waiting for them to apoear in the Basic Pool. After we got them however, we never got any special challenges like the Deathless Carina challenges. Could we see them play a major role in Book 3?
We have Eidols for four of the 7 classes, Mystic, Skill, Tech, Cosmic, but we haven’t seen a Mutant, Science or even Superior class Eidol.

Thoughts, what are your predictions

Help When is the next empowered grace crystal event?

0 Upvotes

Earlier this year, before summer, there was an event where you earned points for opening Empowered Grace Crystals. During that event, I got Dust and Attuma from an Ascension Box. Since then, I've been saving the crystals I earn, waiting for the next event. Does anyone know when it will be, or was it a one-time thing?

I was spinning my 2nd one, and when it showed me the champion I got the 3rd one started spinning and the same time and then just showed me the 2 champions I got from my other 2. The 3rd one vanished. At least I pulled 7* lizard after but kabam needs to fix this game.

Just glad it didnt happen with more important crystals.

Did anyone else notice that one group of Carina's synergies are some of the most infamous and annoying fights in act 6?

Sentinel- 6.1.6

Mister Sinister- 6.2.2

Champion- 6.2.6

Iron man infinity war- 6.3.4

Captain America infinity war- 6.3.6

I thought it was a really cool easter egg to some of the most difficult fights in act 6
