Does every new character need to use 400+ kyros?

As above. Obviously kyros are the new bottleneck, but does EVERY new character really need at least this many kyros to reach relic levels. It’s 4x the number needed for most older units and just feels excessive.

This is on top of most units having at least one zeta, and possibly an omicron too (looking at you new tuskens). Do all new units need to be this resource intensive?

I know they aren’t going to change anything for toons already released, but if half of the new toons planned only needed 300 kyros, or if the kyros needed could be in gear 11 so they limit at the same time as the shards for 7*, it might seem like less of a slap in the face every time a new toon comes out.

Even after spending all get2, get3 and GAC currency and doing up to 100crystal refreshes on kyro nodes it barely touches the side. Does the bottleneck need to be this thin?

  • Yeah, I've noticed an easing of my Kyro backlog. I'm at 9.7M.

    Obviously I still need a lot, but there are no newer characters that I can't zoom to g12 the moment I have them at 7*, and the old ones don't need Kyros, so I bring them along at my leisure. For me the Kyro needs are balanced with other gear needs. Imperfectly but they're not that far off, and I have to have something to do with my crystals.

    That said, I'm not so self-centred that I can't agree that there should be SOME newer characters released with lesser Kyro requirements. I wish that they had a couple Kyro-based pieces that only required 50 instead of 100 so that they could require 250, 300, 350, and 400 for different toons. Paying tons of Kyros for a toon like DBBoba is ... not worth it.

    So, yeah, I'm making decent progress, but I still think that some easing toward g12 would be good and they can't do that by increasing Kyro rewards without messing up the economy long term. Requiring lesser Kyro investment for certain toons here and there would be like a Kyro boost, but without the long-term impact on the Kyro economy.

    Not every character require 400 kyro. Take a look at Reva ?


    Holy *****! 700 kyros. No wonder she can take down GLs with that kind of gearing. ?

    It is nice to hear people saying that the crunch eases eventually. This above is the kind of thing I was talking about though. Sure characters like CK and the rest which will be needed for the new JG Cal you could accept needing 400 each. Same with the Inqs, they’re working towards something bigger, and there needs to be a gate to keep whales spending. I get why CG do it. But would it hurt them that much if the tuskens, or Zorii, only needed 300 kyros. ?‍♂️

    a kyropractor.

    i’m sorry if you don’t speak english that probably didn’t make any sense.

    Starts to kind of ease up when you get here



    Holy moly ... I'm 9.8M GP and have 43 toons below G12 (and 3 not unlocked). I would have thought that it would accumulate to more than the 430K ish GP you're ahead of me.
