I know that this is a scaled down Prototype weapon, but i is the route that i had planned to go with KS . Any idea how many Blueprints it takes to level it up each level? I cannot seem to get on Scapes spreadsheet....and even if i did im not sure it has been updated to include the lower teir Proto's. The weapon is already stronger than my DL8's at 5-3. Thanks all.

I only got a prototype mech starting at 4 stars. I remember only needing like 1 blueprint per level until getting to the normal 5 star level but this is only from memory.

Per scape's spreadsheet, Legendary weapons require 1 blueprint for each level from 3.1 to 3.6 and then 2 to go up to 3.7, so 7 bpa total for all of Rank 3.
For rank 4 the bp requirements go 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3 - so 10 blueprints total.
Rank 5 is 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 6 for a total of 19 bps.
Rank 6 is 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27 or 75 bps total.

Don't do it. Even though the blueprint costs are low thresholds to get it to the level it's supposed to be at, they're still just as rare as trying to get the weapon to dual copy/max, and it greatly extends grind time unless you spend the difference in cash to upgrade it.

TBH, my urge to spend on this game has dramatically reduced....I'll still buy the occasional 500 A-coin chest but that's it. I've decided to just keep using the weapons I have and let all the new stuff accumulate organically. I'm not even gonna upgrade my pilots much as they require A-coins as well as those new star coins...sheesh.
Seriously looking around for a new game though...so next half-decent looking mech game comes along, I'm done with this one.

I think redfiend is right. since its on the progress path, you are likely going to get to 5 star faster by grinidng in tourney than waiting out the blueprint finds. Or if you buy the blueprints with upgrades you will likely be overall spending more between cash and acoins as you level. The only caveat would be if they offer a decent upgrade pack after purchase (which they likely will). It depends what they offer and its cost too. Then cash from the DL purchase and the bp purchase could be equivalent. Just know you will likely want both.

I hav been looking for a few myself and not just mech games. A couple I have checked out are Torchlight Infinite and Diablo Immortal as a different style of game, but hey if you find any good mech games for mobile let me know. Always enjoy this genre.

Diablo Immortal is a very good port to mobile but I found my phone heated up VERY quickly so I didn't keep it.

That’s pretty telling coming from a guy like you - you’ve been an advocate for this game for as long as I can remember. I’d really be curious to know if Plarium either knows or cares how much they’re killing their player base.

As long as that bank keeps rolling, everything else is tertiary. If the game dies, the players lose. The company already got what it set out to get.

I mean the ideal situation is a game that has a big enough company to build it but also a good direction for the community. The beta for this was promising for the community, but lately it has been very money focused. This is usually an indication of it going from the dev team hands to the sales/business side. I get they need to make money and deserve to. But not in a way that undercuts the community and the balance they worked hard to create. This game is still completely salvageable. its not a lost cause. But I don't want to have all my eggs in one basket if it goes belly up.

I heard some people have played it, but I havent seen a way to get it myself. I'm on iOS, but can get it through bluestacks if there is a way. Torchlight Infinite is just starting to get into its beta. We will see how it goes there. Torchlight 1 and 2 were awesome, but Torchlight 3 was rocky from all I have heard. Still seemed like a similar game to Diablo thats highly favored. Curious to see how both play out.

Sure it’s still salvageable, but I’ve yet to see any game developer change their mind once they’ve started down this path. They always get a taste for that easy money and just keep doubling down on it. What I find completely baffling is how much and how long people are willing to spend big on them.

what kind of phone do you have if you don't mind? I got an iPhone 12. I know I'm a dumb hipster for having apple, but its what I've gotten used to for mobile lol It's $5 (5k scrap) to get a single BLUE implant from level 4 to 5. Often netting only a 2-5% increase, where as the higher level implants get stupid very quickly. The disparity between Rare and Legendary Pilots shouldn't be as wide as it is if everything is going to be that expensive. 12%/25%/30% is a really crap split for damage bonuses for Blue/Purple/Gold. Blue pilots are already limited by only having 2 slots. They don't need to ALSO only grant HALF of the bonuses of purple pilots, when the difference between purples and Golds is razor thin outside of the extra implant slot. If you talk to the devs, the base pilot stats split for rarity should be 20/25/30. The implant slots, and how ridiculously expensive the implants are to upgrade, is enough of a disadvantage to have blue pilots at least grant respectable stat boosts.

It still works good for MA, but it's starting to act up in little weird ways so I'm looking forward to getting a new phone this year. Was gonna get a budget/mid range Motorola Ace late last year when it went on sale, but it's specs are equivalent to my P20 Pro so I didn't get it. Hoping I can get a Pixel 6 or Galaxy S20 but my pipe dream would be a S21 Ultra.
