Guide Dracula Campaign Math to help you decide on coring

50 Upvotes

Hey all, was trying to decide if I want to core for Dracula and figured I'd share my math with yall in case it helps you make up your mind about what YOU want to do.

First of all the Nightreaver orb itself - it has an EV of 3.0736 Dracula shards, which I am simply rounding down to 3.

And then the campaign:

Energy refreshes at 1 per 5mins, so the usual 288 time-based energy in a day. I'm rounding this up to 300 per day for simplicity - the difference can be made up by the 120 energy we started with + a single 50 core refresh once.

Core refreshes give 100 energy.

Scenarios:

Scenario 1, 0 core refreshes daily [50 cores over the 15 days]: 2,450 fragments per day = 36,750 total fragments = 18 orbs = 54 shards on average (36 shards if you're in the unluckiest percentile) = 2 star Dracula (unlock)

Scenario 2, 4x 50 core refreshes daily [3,000 cores over the 15 days]: 4,950 fragments per day = 74,250 total fragments = 37 orbs = 111 shards on average (74 shards if you're in the unluckiest percentile) = 3 star Dracula

You're getting an extra 57 shards for 3,000 cores. This is roughly equivalent to 53 cores per shard or in other words, it's the same as opening one of the old-school character orbs for approx. 500 cores a piece.

Scenario 3, 4x 50 core refreshes + 4x 100 core refreshes + 3x node refreshes daily [11,250 cores over the 15 days]: 7,900 fragments per day = 118,500 total fragments = 59 orbs = 177 shards on average (118 shards if you're in the unluckiest percentile) = 4 star Dracula (with the 5 free shards)

Compared to Scenario 2, you're getting an extra 66 shards for an extra 8,250 cores. This is equivalent to 125 cores per shard or in other words, it's the same as opening one of the old-school characters orbs for approx. 1,175 cores a piece.

-----

For me personally, Scenario 3 seems way too core-expensive to make any sense, but I will roll the dice and gamble on the 4x 50 core refreshes. Should guarantee a 3-star on average and if any of the gamba spins turns up lucky might be able to squeeze out more.

Good luck with your orbs!

Question Dracula $550 store offer

23 Upvotes

Genuine question...

Do people actually purchase these offers? I mean I know they do because I see the global leaderboard and some have 36 billion already, but the average person? Do you even consider this offer?!?

There is an offer for dracula and 18 or so billion for $550 cad. Like I make good money, like almost that in a day gross, but I would never. So genuinely, why is this a thing and why are we supporting it?

I would post a picture of the offer but can't.

Discussion Is my math on getting dracula wrong?

10 Upvotes

Unless i'm missing something, to get shards beyond the freebie 5, you need orbs. But you get at most 85 orb frags per 10 energy (and that's 10 times per day, unless you spend cores to refresh. after that it's 5 less per 10 runs). It's 5 minutes per energy, so max 288 energy per day if you don't miss out on spending any (and not including coring for more), which is 850+800+600 (from the remaining 80 times 75 per run on the 3rd highest node), giving us 2250 frags per day. Given that the orbs are over 80% chance for 2 frags, it's going to take some people around 18 days to unlock dracula at 2 star-but the event only runs for 15 days.
Did they really think this "just over 2 shards average per orb, with one orb per day" was a reasonable pace? Especially for a character that will only be available 2 weeks per year (as they already explicitly stated he will not be available again until this time next year)

Question How many of us do DD content IMMEDIATELY when we can?

0 Upvotes

This has been bugging me, so i figured i should ask and see what the playerbase says. For me, as soon as i find i'm capable of starting DD content, i'm doing it. I'm not even to GT 19 yet (commander lvl 99), but i have cleared DD8 up until the last few nodes (the one that requires mephisto is where i got stuck). I'm even doing some blue marvel DD now, first two nodes down. But i keep seeing advice from people on DDs where they talk about how they cleared it easily-but they are using higher GT than needed (i.e. GT17 required, they will be using GT19 characters). So is it normal for people to wait weeks or months after they are capable of doing new content before they actually start on it? Or are they the minority, and most people jump on it soon as they have enough characters available at the minimum GT?

Dev Response DD7 best team (during special event)?

2 Upvotes

Anyone managed to try out a GT19 team that is turning out to be a magic bullet? I'm a few days away from lvl 100, and have my Symbiote 6 team all queued up and ready (at lvl 99 each, with all gear purchased and just waiting to equip that last piece on each of them). Hoping they will be great, but curious if anyone else has tried it out and found a team that can one-shot nodes they previously weren't available to be used for.

Question I am losing my mind on DD7 mission 3.

2 Upvotes

Two nightcrawlers on steroids. Managed to beat one, the second one goes first every time I load in regardless of team, ults every turn, and heals back to full between my turns?

He one-hits my G19 Apoc. He heals through multi assist ganks by the whole AA team, insidious 6 characters die within two hits.

Can someone explain the source of this power? How on earth did people beat this two years ago? My AA, F4 and even iron raiders can't do a thing.

EDIT: The most common answer is that Super Skrull is just built for this and needs to be used. I also heard that symbiote six can manage it.

Question Dracula Challenge Node 5

2 Upvotes

Hi guys! I was just posting to see what teams you all have had success with on Dracula challenge node 5. I used my Symbiote Six team (which is around 3-3.5m), but was only able to take out Hellverine. I'd say they did surprisingly well given where I have them at right now. I'm guessing they are the intended use team because I started out with my 15m Winter Guard and then tried my 11-12m Champions, but neither even made a dent and were quickly taken care of. All feedback is appreciated!

Dev Response Would Universal Character shards be feasible?

1 Upvotes

Im pretty sure this idea was brought up and discussed years ago. I thought this might be a good time to bring it up again. That is simply adding universal character shards to the game. As in the shards would be able to be applied to which ever character a player wants. Rather than the standard we have always had. Where u get a set characters shards that they want to give us.

This would obviously be limited within certain parameters. Like specific ones only work on specific groups of characters. Determined via character level (like common, legendary, mythic. Or one of the other various traits they classify the characters under.)

Probably the biggest thing would be that it adds player agency.

Suggestion Missing an opportunity right in front of them, with part of the work already done.

I know RTA is probably the least played mode in the game. Not many care for it, but imo has good potential if they reworked it.

Scopley accidently created something with it that no one seems to realize. That i dont see in any other mobile game. They could use it to have an actual balanced pvp mode. One that isnt decided by who spent the most money. That is exactly what the other current modes are in MSF. Arena,Crucible, Alliance war. Pay to win. Im not here to argue about it. I know with the right strategy punch ups can happen, but we all know they do the things to always give the spenders an edge.

If they made it a random draft style tournament mode (which they could monetize entering the mode via power cores, or new form of in game currency). Where all the characters would have set baseline stats. Making them equal, no buffs, no bs. Then it comes down to luck, knowledge, and experience. You could add rewards to make people want to play it.

Inside that there is alot of potential variation. You could do best of 1 in a round set up trying to get say 7 wins before you get 3 losses, you could do a best of 3 per round for 5 rounds and allow for players to draft a wider set of characters to possibly change out between rounds. More wins u get the better the rewards. They could feature new characters or teams that are releasing. For each round you win you get a set amount of frags for a character.

Question Was Mighty Wolverine too on the nose?

I know none of the Breakers have specifically lined up with the Mighty's but I was really hoping we would get a Mighty Wolverine to face off against Breaker Sabretooth.

That being said I'm not mad at the idea of Mighty Cyclops.

Discussion The new web milestone is gorgeous

12 Upvotes

Seriously thanks for the free gold! It's much needed and it's almost like a weekly payday event - maybe even a bit more, depending your spending habits.

I would have preferred if it was kept free to play and we didn't have to daily

  • purchase something on the web store
  • purchase something in the strike store

For reference, I tend to buy cheap (below $5) offers and I managed to stock up like 8000 strike store points. That's enough for 16 days if I waste it on the worst cheap offers (i.e. 0.25M gold for 500 points).

Expecting me to daily spend even $2 get's the monthly cost of the game to $60+. Gotta be honest, that's right in the delusional category guys.

Without these, we only get half of the milestones (6 points daily, 7 days, 42 points) - so we're missing out on 12.5 million gold. Not like it's the tightest bottleneck or anything, just saying.

So the usual way, Scopely gives something but puts a turd on top.

What do you think, Commanders?

Why is it whenever they add characters to campaign nodes, it is almost always Nexus hard? I have had everything 3⭐️ forever so its not a personal gripe. Easy campaigns I get cuz of new players but there are so many campaign nodes and they always choose nexus hard.

Hey everyone,

Kyln Tower: Code Blazes (Omega) | Floor 6 - 10

I did not realize that new floors of kyln tower have unlocked 2 days ago. I just realized it today. Good thing is it is 2nd week and my toons are good enough to clear these floors. Super Skrull was (in Franky's style) super disappointing and I was counting on him. But Night crawler did his job and I was saved. The video contains all 5 floors. Also, there is video of previous floors on my channel. Watch if you wish.

Happy gaming :)
