I have been playing the game for a couple of years now. I have many 4* troops of each colour and type, currently I am working on getting my mana troops to level 17 first before I move on.
The issue we all face at the higher end of troop leveling is that 1* and 2* troops are not viable to feed to 4* troops the ham required is just to high for the XP gained.
We now have the alchemy lab and soon the hero lab. Is there anything in the pipeline for an advanced barracks where we can combine our 1* and 2* troops to form 3* or a chance at 4* troops?
There also needs to be hero morphing for converting 3* into 4* heroes. Like after 8 gem visits to the epic hero summon, I have not one 4* hero to show for it. (The odds of being so unlucky that 8 visits gives you 8x 3* heroes is 8% BTW. Also, at one point I had 6x 3* troops, but they were all either purple or red. The odds of being that unlucky to not have at least 3 different colors of 3* troops is 2.56%. I see no reason to spend anymore money on this game if that’s how unlucky I am and if no there is mercy feature for the highly unlucky folks to convert 3* troops into epic summon coins or 4* troops. Maybe if there was a 74% chance of converting a 3* hero into 300 gems and a 26% chance of it turning into a daily summon coin that would be satisfactory to SG.)
The question would be whether, if they do implement something like this, there is any actual savings in using it. Maybe it would be cheaper on ham to convert 1* and 2* to 3* to feed to your 4* troops, but I’m sure it would cost big time in gems.
