Clarification on loaned units?

🤦‍♂️🙄 just got 2 tolens, not 3 or more, today. So, yeah, it's an ammount set by CG.

Unless it all fits a range of values? Whatever. I won't  bother about it anymore. I will just flow with it. 😒

I do wish they would show who people used for those pushing the top of the global era leaderboard. they should treat it like Squad arena where everyone can see what is working instead of it being gatekept hard.

Edit: aye loaned character level is not determined by Era characters ^^

You don't seem to be wrong. My Zeb was level 43 before reset, and all my loaned units are now 41. My droid is lvl 46.

If this is the case, it's another factor that is designed to slow down those who do not spend money or a minimal amount, as your loaned units wil not increase in level at all for 24 hours. Those who don't spend money will thus always be scraping by tiers, since the loaned units you get do not synergize with any leader that you have.

You can't use MM to the fullest since you don't have a full team of Rebel Fighters. General Syndulla only works with Spectre units. Then you have scoundrel, BH and Empire units.

I am not a conspiracy theorist but I also noted in the last 48 hours of the droid units Era, we have a TW and the Episode quest you got at the time was putting down 90 banners on defense, so you couldn't progress the quest for 24 hours during the sign up phase, then the next quest you got was attacking thrice in TW but then you had the setup phase end then the droid challange ended :)

I don’t believe people are getting different amounts of loan level tokens. While leveling at separate rates for their marquees. For example:

My R5 is raised 52-55 :: My loaned characters were 41 — the next day I get 2 level token.

Another person in my shard raised their R5 from 31-32 :: Their loaned characters were 32. They also got 2 level token.

The only reason I know this is because my characters are 14 levels short of max loaned level which is what’s at the top spots in my shard. I’ve remained at 14 levels difference, meaning we’ve all gotten the same amount per day.

(Edited)

What I understand is the tokens received in the inbox are the difference between marquee character and loaned character  so if today you level up 1, or 3, then that's  what you get tomorrow on the inbox, 1 or 3 tokens  or 2 if it was 2lv-ups.

Edit:

I got confused. Maybe a mix up of not wearing my glasses and not paying attention to what I got before.

Sorry for the confusion about loaned leveling up tokens.

But, yeah, it must be tye difference between a marquee character at end of day,  and the new level of loaned after level up at start of ending day 

I don't remember reading this but, yeah they have planned everything out. Nothing will go your way 😅 just note the first 2 Era character tags and the leaders you got loaned ☺️

You get whatever CG wants you to have. You play the way they want, and you progress only the rythm they decided. I don't think there is something else.

I suppose that it is an improvement from the automatic scaling of characters based on the highest level of the marquees, but I don't get the point 😏

I don't recall seeing it say 3 tokens every day.  I think I've only gotten 3 tokens twice. Usually 2 and 1 today.

I don't see any information on how many.

"How do we upgrade Loaned Units? All of your Loaned Units have the same Era Level, and they can’t be upgraded directly. Instead, they are upgraded whenever you receive a Loaned Unit Era Level Increase token, which is automatically consumed to level all of your Loaned Units by 1. For this first era, they will be provided primarily via daily inbox messages to make sure those who show up later in the era can still claim them all and aren’t permanently behind.  For future eras, we are looking into ways to improve clarity and the user flow for obtaining the Unit Era Increase tokens."
