There has been a lot of discussion about supports and seeing the value in them but i don’t remember seeing anybody asking what supports that you have.
As of today, there are 31 supports that are listed but 6 of them are the Infinity Stones. So you really have the chance at 26 of them since 1 of the Infinity Stones supports was a reward last season.
For this exercise, let’s still use the 31 that is listed so it does get confusing. Let’s see who everybody’s is doing.
How many supports do you have?
What is the star level of each?
What is the highest level of support that you have?
How much Riso do you have?
If you are hoarding tokens, how many do you have?
If I ever get a good 5* I’m going to want to max it, so until that happens I’m not spending any red ISO - as of right now I don’t even have enough to max a 3*
Rank 4 - 3 - Element Guns, Royal Talon Fighter, Spider-Sense
Rank 3 - 1 - Hydra Henchmen
Rank 2 - 13 - Ancestral Plane, Avengers Tower, Chimichanga, Corvus Glaive, Cull Obsidian, Destroyer Gun, Korg, Proxima Midnight, Quinjet, The Milano, Vibranium Ore, Vintage Shield, Wong
Rank 1 - 3 - Kimoyo Beads, The Blackbird, Web-Shooters
(missing Ebony Maw, Lucky, Sharon Carter, Shuri’s Lab, The Dora Milaje, and the six Impossible Stones, for those keeping track at home)
Element Guns at level 120/200, 29637 Red ISO-8 (which can take Element Guns to 132, or any other support to 59).
Some damage buffs, randomly fortifying special tiles is nice, that’s most of what I’m getting out of them now. I feel like I might be better off pushing multiple supports to 50 or 100 instead of pushing my Element Guns further, having a variety of effects across a variety of characters is more beneficial than slowly increasing the stuff Element Guns are already doing for me. I just haven’t picked which Supports to push for first, so my Red ISO has been slowly piling up. Might go for Avengers Tower for more special tile fortification. Getting a cascade, accidentally matching your own special tiles, and having a Support kick off from the initial match and fortify the tile before the cascade takes it away is fun. Or I might just hoard Red-ISO and put it towards the Talon Fighter with Okoye.
Rank 1: Lucky, Corvius Glaive, Vintage Shield, Avengers Tower
Rank 2: Blackbird, Milano, Element Guns, Proxima Midnight, Destroyer Gun, Royal Talon Fighter (level 50)
Rank 3: Web Shooters, Hydra Henchmen, Cull Obsidian
Rank 4: Ancestral Plane
Ancestral Plane is borderline worthless to me since my 5BP is only at 7 covers, but maybe someday I’ll get him finished. It saddens me that the best Support I have isn’t of more use.
I have barely leveled any of them. The highest behind Talon Fighter are at 25, 25, then 16 and 11.
Currently 32267 on hand, probably going to take Talon Fighter to 100 when I have enough.
I have 17 out of 31
1 4* support level 67 no other support leveled.
total red iso 81k and hoarding.
There is not enough re iso around to make leveling them worth while especially since I would want different ones for different characters.
i also play CL9 in PVE and higher levels in PVP but the red iso shortage is worse than the purple iso shortage.
2 - Destroyer Gun, Element Guns, Hydra Henchmen, Korg, Shuri’s Lab, Vintage Shield, Web Shooters (7)
1 - Ancestral Plane, Avengers Tower, Quinjet, Dora Milaje, Milano (5)
15 left I don’t have.
76,685 riso, haven’t spent a single bit of it. If I ever got a 5* support than I might pump the riso into it, but I didn’t spend it initially on the grounds that you don’t want to waste it on a 2* or 3* support and then have none to use on the better ones you get later. That’s just led to not using it at all.
Just champed my Gambit though, and the Chimichanga does kinda fit him, so I might upgrade that. The 76k would only get it to lvl92, though, which seems pretty pathetic for all the time Supports have been out.
Supports: 17 of 31
No 5*, 3x 4*, 4× 3*, 8× 2*, last 2 are 1*.
Highest is 4* Lucky @ level 125.
A little over 1000 riso at the moment. I spend it each time I can raise Lucky another level, the next of which costs 2437.
Current hoard is 1 master, 1, advanced, and 3 beginner. I’m saving them in hopes of a bonus support system or infinity stones being added.
I understand the argument of saving iso until you get a support you really like, but as tough as the top ones are to get, that may never happen. So I spend as I get to make them as useful as possible. Riso spent is never lost if you rank up.
Love Supports! Hate the Famine!
16/31
1/5*: Corvus Glaive(lv. 77 on Loki)
2/4*:Sharon Carter(Lv.8 on Peggy), Hydra Henchman (Lvl. 6 on Vulture)
3/3*:Quinjet (Lvl.5 Carol), Cull Obsidian (Lvl.2 Sandman), Ancestral Plane (lvl.1 5BP)
2/2:old shield on falcap,milano on grocket(natch)
7/1*:Lucky dog is Lvl. 50 on Kate
I am starving for riso. everything goes into Corvus. He is just now beginning to roll. I wish everyone could see how cool supports can be when they actually trigger but the totally artificial famine is just ruining perception. Their salt the playerbase earth strategy seems to be holding with smaller,still terrible vaults, and crazy expensive Master Tokens.
SCL backpay and let everyone have at least one fully functional support. 200% more RIso
Riso: 78,273 (enough to raise 1 support to level 93)
Tokens: 0, no hoarding
What I have:
Five *: None
Four *: 4 (Destroyer Gun, Korg, Ebony Maw, Quinjet)
Three *: 4 (Chimichanga, Vintage Shield, Corvus Glaive, Web-Shooters)
Two *: 5 (Kimoyo Beads, Sharon Cater, Blackbird, Milano, Wong)
One *: 6 (Avengers Tower, Cull Obsidian, Element Guns, Hydra Henchmen, Lucky, Proxima Midnight)
I have not spent any riso yet, so all at level 1.
I think I have Wong assigned to my Dr. Strange, but since release I have really just been accumulating and ignoring. I feel like I already spend too much time in this game to bother with additional micro-management, especially when the UI for these is so poor. I may wait for Gamependium or someone to come up with an app to help me manage them since I doubt the game itself will.
