Changing my Trooper points spending strategy from souls to skills.

[Rydgen]

I've yet to evolve beyond the 4* barrier with my characters, even with the dungeons. I find it's because I've been spending my Trooper points unwisely. Until now, I've been spending my points on souls of all classes, hoping for the big win, a 5* legend I can add to my team. However, this is not working, so now I'm diverting my funds to buying skill shards to power up my Eddies and best allies, allowing them to max their base skills along with talismans in order to finally defeat every world in every difficulty (still lacking Battlefield Madness and Underworld Hard and Madness), as well as the rest of the upper level dungeons, in order to increase my chances of earning the elusive 3* evo shards. I only wish I had done so from the start.

Anyone else have a similar experience in their point spending?

for me this is the only plausible way to spend the trooper points, your strategy is very reasonable, if you ask me :-)

It does make sense in terms of a dependable way to benefit from trooper points. That said, when I was buying one of each items from the shop weekly with my trooper points I landed a Pharaoh Eddie from a sentinel rare soul and that was a total game changer for me. I know that's total luck, but...

i aim for assassin/gunner souls cuz i need some of those, but skill shards are pretty much the best deal.

Btw the drop rate of chars may be low, but have u ever played wow? The drop rates for mounts and good gear is like 1% and some only drop on heroic... (which u can only do once daily), get urself a golden horseshoe, theyre a big waste of money

I have been chain-buying sentinel souls with my trooper points for the past month... I must have bought 20 - all in hopes of landing a Pharaoh Eddie. Nothing for me. I thought if I focused on Sentinel souls, it would bound to come up. Nope. You're lucky BillLion!

Idk, it's funny. Some characters you wouldn't look at twice at mid game, and all of a sudden at end game they start looking fantastic at end game: the wicker dog King/Queen, wicker man Eddie, that green golem thing you get at the start, and that sort. I'm a firm believer that a truly free to play player can come out to end game with a good package of characters and talismans without spending any money, or investing huge time. You can get rare souls in the dungeons too for those elusive native five star chars. I feel like skill shards are the best value for your time invested for trooper points, and I have shifted to doing the same even though I drool sometimes over other people's gunner and assassin characters. At the end of the day, buying souls is like a chip for a slot machine.

Thanks for the quick feedback, fellas.
I kept hoping for a Cyborg Eddie, simply because he's always been my favorite version. I treat this game like Iron Maiden Pokemon, gotta catch 'em all, but it's been hurting my gameplay, so time to get serious!

I think skills is the way to go also whish I had done that. I have been focusing on trying to get a general and still no luck.

By the way my cyborg came from a regular rare soul, not a gunner/assassin one.
That was before they ruined everything drop-wise, including good characters from rare souls

I managed to get a Mummy Eddie from a common soul once, which was a nice surprise.
