Relic Delta

I wanted to wait for it to come out before making my assessments. Well, I can say with certainty that you've taken one of the best "combat" systems in mobile gaming and thrown it in the trash. You'v...

It's not that strategy is dead, it's that punch ups have been, for the most part, nullified. That's my one proper gripe with RD at the moment, and I'm still not entirely clear on why you say relic levels are now easier to obtain.

I'm afraid both sides have a point here - the people who spend can now just spend and safely hide behind the relic wall, while you're also correct that more focus must now be put on adding more relics to your own roster. That does divide the F2P from the whales a little more than it did before.

Carbonite Circuit Boards and Bronzium Wiring can now be bought with mk1 raid tokens (used to be mk2). And now the price is actually reasonable. You can buy 220 BW for 8800 mk1 tokens. For context, 220 is the max BW needed per character and max mk1 raid tokens per raid is 16.95k. Mk1 tokens max out in the 2nd box (14.5mln guild score). CCBs are slightly cheaper than BW.

Aurodium Heatsinks, Electrium Conductors, and Zinbiddle Cards can now be bought with mk2 raid tokens (ECs and Zinbiddles used to be mk3).

Droid Brains can now be crafted directly at the Scavenger. Previously, DB were only in TW rewards, or available for crystals and real money.

Chromium Transistors and Aurodium Heatsinks were removed from the R9 recipe.

Episode shipments and Episode Pass now contain some signal data.

100% agree with this. Just leveled a toon from R4 to R7 using raid tokens. Not saying it’s easy, but the burden is lessened.

I mean yeah, it still requires resources. I'm gated by signal data just like I was last week, but BW and CCBs will no longer be a bottleneck. It's like when stun guns, stun cuffs, and carbantis stopped being a bottleneck when kyrotech was introduced. We got further progression (R10) + incentive to build higher relics, and some bottlenecks were alleviated. I've got a couple of new R7s and R8s since the new update launched. Double drops for signal data is nice too.
