My alliance finishes around top 30 this season (pvp) and I need all the 3* I can get. If we all place 600+ pts we are easily top 100. 600 pts takes 1 good 3* sub 166 team + shields.
You can succeed at this game in PVP if you have 2 good chars for PVP + iso to boost + hp to shield.
Until then, you just have to focus on PVE until you are ready for PVP. Or drop $$ and speed up the process by months/years. I’m day 135ish and would still not have a single 166 if not for $$. It really is mindblowing how much easier it is to obtain 3* covers once you are doing PVP and in a T100 alliance. No more spending 30+ hours for a few covers.
I did the top 100 alliance thing for a long time, and it eventually cracked me. I was playing all the time sometimes for rewards I needed, sometimes for rewards other people needed or even just going the extra mile when no one needed it out of pure habit. Yes those in top 100 alliances will do better, yes with dedication it is entirely possible to join a top 100 alliance, but it is still technically impossible for ~everyone~ to join a top 100 alliance, and some of us don’t by choice, My scores may be as high as they ever were but my mind is much more at rest and I get less rewards than people like you who only hit mid 600 scores. That is just how it is.
I am in a top 25 alliance and am truly a transitioner. I only have two fully covered 3* and no 4* close to full, xforce is at 6 with the most. DDQ is very useful to me because I haven’t been in a top 100 alliance until this month. Over time I am sure I will complete 3*s faster than most people outside of the top 100 alliances but don’t count out all top 100 alliance people. Useful covers so far not counting taco covers were: yellow spidy, yellow grocket, yellow black panther, yellow cmags, blue she-hulk, and the red deadpool will be.
But when I first joined a top 100 alliance, I had 1 maxed 3 star.
Granted, this was in season 5.
I was a commander of a top 100 alliance for 3 seasons and I found it incredibly difficult to find people who could score even 600 per PVP.
It seems like top 100 alliances are recruiting all the time.
It never occurred me that top 100 alliance spots were ever unavailable. I was looking to replace 2 to 3 people in my alliance for the entire 3 seasons.
