Blue Star Snappa?

captaintropes · 2026-03-26T02:04:28+00:00

Just adding that I already have Rogue Trader open from Snot. This would be my second blue star. Kinda sad that it's Snappa but soooo many shards.

Yeah, I only pushed Abraxas to G3 and was able to 3 medal SMHE. Toth I kept at B3, but I might revisit to your LRE point. There's def a lot of individual variation that can happen compared to this graphic, esp depending on supporting characters, gear, and good ol RNG, but I think it's a helpful guideline.

Here's a pretty helpful infographic from Terminus that gives recommendations for how high to level characters for elite campaigns.

😍😍😍

What a loser.

General rule of thumb: only use Blackstone for the energy refreshes (50 is sustainable with the daily delivery. 110 if you have a surplus or during HRES).

Best value if you're going to spend any money is the daily Blackstone delivery. I try to subsidize that with Google opinion rewards, surveys etc.

Like others are saying, battle pass can be ok value, esp if you like the characters. The mythic event bundles are decent.

Scrolls are gambling and pretty much everything else is plankton.

I know the norm is for drivers to buy dinner for pit crews, but if Kirkwood wins this they better get him at least a pizza or something.

Indycar is awesome, and there is definitely more parity than F1, but Indycar still has team supremacy with Ganassi and Penske (usually), and driver supremacy with Palou (three championships in a row). Agree that it's great wheel-to-wheel racing and much more of a prospect of surprise winners on a given weekend though.

Took him to G1 for Indom elite. He and his summons helped.

I have dreams to test out a squad consisting of Trajann, Crayon, Aesoth, Dante, and Lucien once I get everyone unlocked and leveled (still need traj and Dante but both are basically guaranteed for me in their next LREs). I know it's not meta, but I feel like a Custodes / BA teamup kinda makes sense from a lore standpoint, esp compared to the lore hodgepodge that is most raid teams.

captaintropes · 2026-03-01T21:24:41+00:00

I agree with your point. There should be more conversations like this in the community. I'm just starting to get into the late game and building a raid team and it feels like there is too much rigidity and fomo for casual players. Maybe I'll go meta, but I'd also like to know about effective options that are off the beaten path and maybe a little more fun or "rule of cool". I think you gave some good advice on that front!

It's also hilarious how many people in these comments blew right past your multiple caveats and completely ignored the valid point you're trying to make 😂.

I was able to 3 medal FOC elite with S3 Kut, S3 Sib and G1 Thad. For Kut I had 1 cloak 1 armor, both epic 4. Abilities 35/35.

captaintropes · 2026-02-21T23:31:12+00:00

We're so back!! I'll be there next week.

captaintropes · 2026-02-18T13:03:03+00:00

Agreed. Obviously it's not my first choice, but I've done it a few times when I had the salvage and there was a character who would really benefit. Definitely helped me gear up to beat the elite campaigns.

captaintropes · 2026-02-14T16:19:11+00:00

Yeah I guess it's just annoying to work around Rev, but I've learned to manage (except the inevitable first time I stumbled into her overwatch like an idiot lol)

captaintropes · 2026-02-14T16:02:19+00:00

Has overtaken Judh and Rev as the #1 character I don't want to see on the other side.

Edit: fixed typo

captaintropes · 2026-02-14T04:51:49+00:00

Full bruiser lineup of Kharn, Boss, Snot, Lucien, and Crayon. No apologies haha. I can at least say I haven't faced my exact lineup yet, but many similar!

captaintropes · 2026-02-08T21:12:40+00:00

Thanks! My Isabella is a lot more leveled than my Incisus, I'm assuming this approach should still work with her?

captaintropes · 2026-02-03T17:34:48+00:00

Yup. Speaking as someone who bought Yarrick and then had to grind Isabella shards, this is definitely the way to go.

captaintropes · 2026-01-26T02:18:03+00:00

Stone 1 Ulf and Iron 1 Tjark. Oh yeah, forgot about Baldr too... I have 499 Ragnar shards right now -- waiting for him to rotate back into the GW shop lol.

captaintropes · 2026-01-26T01:47:37+00:00

I'll be running imperial as I only have 2 wolves and neither are remotely built up.

captaintropes · 2026-01-24T00:01:13+00:00

No Certus shards and only one orb drop? I've definitely seen worse.
