Thread: "New" upcoming game: Armor Blitz

I'd recommend the exact opposite.

Grab 4* off the blueprints to buff out early forces.
Pick up 5*s from monthly, blueprints, events and what not over time.

Save your cores for Events to roll guaranteed 5*s.

Not even any reason to get 4th now that Events or Random can give 5*s.

Spending BPS on 4* is a waste since you get like 1 4* every 2 days from factory. And all of them eventually will be replaced by 5*.
BPs are only for 5*.

There are reasons to get 4th slot as factory is basically like a f2p gacha using common materials and can give you high tier units.

Still it's all up to rng.

Saving cores for events is a good idea, I've completely forgot about that.

I opened up the fifth factory slot the other day. Not a single regret, because now my base is completely finished. There's always the option to spend cores in the store later if the events don't suck them all up, and all the while I'll still be cranking out new tanks in the factory for basically free...in fact, I just put two 4*s into production while I was composing this post.

The store is a fool's bet for FTPers, even at the 'generous' 3% feature rate.

I can't recommend the 5th factory slot simply because 2700 cores is such a high cost for so little reward. But the 4th slot is a must, be aware that it will likely take you 600-700 builds to get a 5* out of the factory on average but with all the 4* you will get that 4th slot is well worth the investment.

It's a 25% increase in the amount of factory builds, which in turn means a 25% increase in your factory 5*s.

Forever.

Compare that one-time cost to blowing 2700 cores on the 3% chance of getting a featured 5* at the store, after which you get nothing.

No idea about others, but I reached 2700 cores near the start of Halloween event and I ended up trading for the guaranteed 5* 3 times instead during that. Sure 5th slot is forever, but as a player who started with launch and has had 4 slots for a long time, I've still only ever made 1 5* from factory.

I spent cores on the Halloween event too...but I'm not willing to spend them on the pitiful chance at the store like the original question asked.
