Possible for me to enter epic before 1000 games?

[tonileung]

In view of my current QG tier and no. of games, is it possible for me to enter epic before 1000 games?

I don't have any duplicate for my UR & SR. And I have 3 veteran contracts and 3 wild cards.

If possible, how should I proceed?

I don't know. I'm at 900 games and still have 3/4 at UR++. I've got a Pro SR, a pro UR, 2 URs, and an epic. It looks like you need at least 3-4 proed UR cards to break into the epic tier.

So look to the auction house, hope for wild cards and veteran contracts. Try to make a trade?

Is that your tier rating with all your players boosted? Because if not you could probably boost to Epic temporarily for your 1000th game played as well as the freebie. It's been discussed in another thread that you want to have several charges on your players before you do this because your tier rating does not visually change after your players charges have warn off (ex: you'll still see you are in the epic tier but you're in fact back in UR++).

Oh, interesting. So let me get this straight. The boosts count toward the tier rating, with each charge raising the stat by a certain number of points (so that 1 charge might equal 20 points, and 5 equals 100)? So do you boost each stat on each player or just their specialization stat?

The boost you get is the same whether you put 1, 5, or 10 charges. But you want to make sure your players are still in fact boosted (and didn't just use their last charges) when you play the 1000th game and when you pull the reset card for the freebie.

And you should boost the stats of your best players first because it's a percentage of their value, and boost all their stats. Higher starting stats = higher boosts. I boosted all my players' stats and went from UR++ to Epic, and from Epic+ all the way to Legendary!

* Edit * After you boost your players restart the app to refresh your tier rating. Right now it is delayed both when you boost and when you lose your charges.

That just blew my mind. Awesome. Do you remember what kinds of cards you had in your QG deck at that point when you went from UR++ to Epic?

Pretty sure I had 2 UR pros and 3 SR pros, with one of the URs being a foil with one specialty upgrade.

Do not stat charge to get your tier up, it will go up visually but the game does not count it. I did it to go to epic from UR and got a UR foil. And others have done the same, it goes by your real non boosted tier. So do so at your own risk.

I can't speak on whether it works for getting your 1k foil. I only have experience boosting up for the freebies, which I've done twice.

Important note regarding stat charges to boost into the next Tier

Just as stat charges don't immediately show you are in a higher tier, when these boosts get used up, they also don't show you come back down. Therefore, if you are stat boosting to Tier up before the 1,000 game reward, make sure to boost each guy's stats for at least two games or so. Otherwise, after game 1,000, you may show the higher tier, but be in the lower tier, and get rewarded as such...

The freebie works, foil does not, don't know why but it screwed me out of an extra epic, and a foil at that. And i don't think support cares enough to fix it. I still have a few open cases that they haven't even acknowledged.

That doesn't matter, I was on game 999 and stat boosted everything and still got an UR foil and not an Epic, like i said before i think its a visual glitch that stat boosting increases your tier.

Just try to get 1 epic from AH and pro him, when trained full you're probably very close to epic tier. And statcharge to get epic freebie, which then again fully trained is probably enough to get you permanently to epic tier, to make sure your ladder reward foil is epic.

That blows. Though I'm curious, what's the freebie? Does that refer to the fact that, when you seem to cross into a new tier, you get a card from that tier in your first few boards?

So what do you need in your QG deck to reach the epic tier? I've got about 90 games left, and my deck is an epic, a UR Pro, a SR Pro, and 2 UR and I'm only 1/3 of the way through UR++.

I have enough RP to buy a UR dupe, and I have a vet contract and a wild card to pro the UR. Or if I can get another wildcard drop, I can pro the epic. I should have enough cards to level either one to max. But will that be enough?

The only other upgrade I can make at this point is to level up a second pro-ed SR, currently at 0/20.

Huh, did you have them boosted for more than one game? I am thinking maybe the boost wore off after the game... I guess I could be wrong.
