Most efficient way to handle "overflow."

[Hotobu]

So you're at the point where you've leveled up all of your best cards, and there's nothing left to do but wait for a drop from the draft board. Eventually your card pool is going to get too full. What's the most efficient way to handle this situation? Should you train up the highest rarity card? Should you pro some low level cards and train those? Is it best to continuously train one card and then max it out before gong to another, or should you just train multiple cards simultaneously? If so is there a sweet spot for doing this?

I've just been holding on to super rares (I'm in epic tier with a full season lineup of epic and UR pros) and training those to max. If I get lucky I'll get a dupe and train that up too before maxing the pro card. A few times I've even run out of SRs to train at which point I've just been slowly training my URs that I need a dupe for.

I just train uncommons or rares then use them as fodder when I get a good card.

So trained cards give more XP, when fed to a good card, then untrained ones? That doesn't surprise me if true -- it should work that way -- but it'd be nice to verify that it's true.

And if it is true, is the added XP enough to make it worth it to train a "feeder" card, or is it better just to feed untrained cards to good cards?

I don't know if they give more XP, but I assumed they at least give the same amount, so when I don't have any cards to train I can at least put the XP somewhere for a rainy day

I discovered something else pertaining to this discussion that's worth noting.

It does not seem to be efficient to combine maxed cards into pro cards for the sake of training.

Here's the example I found:

A maxed super rare when used to train a UR from 0 gives ~22.5 levels.

BUT, a pro super rare with no training (0 levels) gives a hair less than 7 levels. This is horribly inefficient since two maxed super rare non-pros completely max a UR.

For reference, a maxed pro super rare gives ~27.5 levels. So you're getting less training than 2 pro supers without combining them.

TLDR: Don't combine maxed cards into pro versions if you are using them solely for training purposes.

I believe I read somewhere on this forum that trained cards give half of the total xp accumulated when said trained card is fed to another card.

i just train all the blue and use that blue to train my ultra up
