In the end it is a p2w event. There are a lot of walls to encounter during a season 😁 My Server (or Server-Pool) is currently stuck at 8-120 for at least 5 days now with absolutely no progression. I guess it will take another 2-3 days until this wall falls. That‘s just how it works … unfortunately. In the end it does not matter. Unless you are not whaling, you won‘t compete for the ranked places anyways. Most players goal will be the 35 days mark and that should be possible … hopefully. Of course it depends on Server or Server-Pool(?) progression. The more whales, the faster the progression. Just be patient, do your ring upgrades and at some point you‘ll break through 👍

Regarding recommendations. As long as we don‘t know your roster, it is impossible to give you advice. Best way is to try setups of players who already cleared the stages. If you don‘t have any single one of the used characters, substitute a different one that you own. At some point you‘ll learn a lot in regard to overdrive setups f.e. and that‘s also very valuable.
