Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some advice on the best next steps for my roster.
Some brief background . . . I'm at Level 86, with 87 achievements (including 3-skulls on all quests) -- thanks to all my troopers for their help getting this far! I began playing on Day 1 and played daily but pretty casually until a couple months ago. Since then, I'm playing all 50 troopers daily plus whatever else I can squeeze in with my SoT, focusing on building a vast, solid team of maxed characters. I'm in a good routine of evolving my current roster (both character level and talismans) with this approach. But, I'm at a point where some second opinions would be helpful.
First, I have had pretty miserable luck with the Book of Souls (surprise, right?). Somehow, I managed to get an Assassin CotD (fortunately, right at the moment where I needed someone like him). Otherwise, I don't really have any premium characters. I look at some of my troopers' rosters, and my jaw drops open when I see the generals, premium Eddies, PDKs, trolls, angels, etc. So, question one is how does that happen? What do I need to do to get these premium characters? It seems like the consensus is to not spend ironite or trooper badges on souls (and my own experience can validate that), but then what's the secret?
Second, I have enough materials to evolve about 3 gunners and 3 sentinels to 5-star, but I'm not sure I have any worthy of that. I've just been sitting on the materials, hoping for better luck with the BoS. Do you see anyone in my roster worth evolving now?
Third, do you see any other characters in my roster worth focusing on? For upcoming 5-star evolutions, I'm thinking my last two Eddies (Wickerman and SoL), Pharaoh Dog (sentimental favorite), Blue GS, Red Soulless Demon, Assassin Mine, Corrupt Owl (or "scarfie" as my daughter calls him -- her favorite character, so another sentimental favorite). Do any others jump out?
By the way, ignore most of my talisman assignments, as they are mostly just there for inventory reasons (except for my regularly used characters).
Thanks in advance!
