What are your scores (%) on each of the 4 bosses? I’ve got 2 units at Lv55 and 1 at Lv54 f2p so you should be able to get more than you have now.
EDIT:
One thing seems clear, the rewards are structured in such a way to make progression happen at a particular pace, and each tier seems to have a max level for your era units. If you’ve reached that level, you are stuck until you open up a new tier.
Look at all the level increases that come with an “ability upgrade”, for instance. These seem to always require the materials from the relevant tier that are only awarded in the 40% crate and the 90% crate. All of the other reward tiers award the more standard material needed for all the other level increases - but once you reach a certain point you can’t use those materials anymore.
When I had Choda at Lv55 and then had to decide between IG90 and STL on who to take to Lv55 next, I picked IG90. I’m now stuck until I clear 90% on t4 of one of the bosses, because the materials I need to improve Choda or IG90 aren’t available until I reach t6 on one or more bosses; and as I described I can’t improve STL until I get a 90% crate.
I’m still “enjoying” Coliseum, but I’m not terribly keen on having a soft ceiling to how far players can get. I had hoped to clear t5 on one of the bosses before Assaj arrived, but I’m beginning to wonder if this is possible without spending money on materials from the next tier. If I get the 90% crate on the Temple Guards, maybe the ability upgrade for STL will get me over the line, but I doubt I will get that crate.
Have you bought crystal packs though?
Only for currency.
Well that leaves me wondering how your units are 20 levels above mine, as I’ve engaged quite determinedly with the Colosseum. I don’t auto, and I try strategy, yet it seems I’m doing something horribly wrong next to you.
I've purchased a few materials packs using crystals, nothing using money, and I'm at L45 and hitting 80% on t4. But I haven't purchased anything like all the packs available. My crystal spending has been fairly restrained. I've maybe spent 2k over this entire era so far? That's a guess, but it wouldn't be far wrong.
Which leaves me in the interesting position of being 10 levels above you, but 10 behind Darjelo. Am I doing some things right and others wrong?
It's so hard to know. But even more than that, it's so hard to know what is ultimately crystal-efficient. Most of what CG intends to give us is a combo of r10 mats on a day-to-day basis and g1-g12 gear at the end of the era.
I don't need any gear below r13. All my toons are relic'd and I have plenty of gear sitting around to do the same to new toons. I won't need it now, but it also isn't a benefit to me.
So mostly I am spending now to get more r10 mats, but how many will I need. how quickly? Should I have been spending more to move up a reward tier in r10 mats?
Who knows. We really truly don't have enough information to evaluate the best value for our spending, much less how much effort will be worth it. We'll need several cycles to begin to optimize this stuff.
Worrying about getting better is a good thing in moderation, but don't let yourself stress too much about it. It will get sorted in time.
