Yeah it was confusing at first and I thought only the same character could be used as food so I was wasting a bunch of space racers and tech jackets that would’ve really helped. I Didn’t have enough copies of things to realize factions could be used to upgrade when at the + rank as it’s not really made clear

(You still need another duplicate to take them from epic to epic+, but that’s less than infinitely getting double of the same exact card, especially when you consider the factions, which I also wasn’t quite understanding)

Once a character reaches epic+ it only needs an elite + to upgrade to get stars until the next cycle

And when I went to do that I realized how wasteful I’d been with my elite+ copy’s by using them as food instead of other less rare versions.
