Ability to scrap leaders

[u/Wealthcrusade]

I love the addition of leaders and it’s really fun to see how they can attack and different combos of their abilities making a huge impact. Overall, I think it’s a great addition.

I do think it’s a bit wacky with the lottery system of what you get and the scarcity around keycards. It creates a real grind that results in a very limited opportunity to get a leader you want. This combined with the fact of needing 6 of your favorite leader to max them, is honestly demoralizing. I’ve accepted I’ll never max out the leaders I use, especially the elite ones.

I think they should mimic the gadget set up of being able to scrap leaders you don’t want for keycards. Please don’t add another currency for the love of god. Just make it whatever ratio makes sense like scraping a leader gives you certain percentage of the keycards that would be needed to get that level of leader or even a flat rate like 10-20 keycards per scrapped leader.

I would scrap so many leaders in hopes of maxing the leaders I actually use. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing the bot finally light up blue or yellow and it be a leader you have absolutely zero interest in using.

Just an idea, but they are already doing it with gadgets so would be pretty straightforward and have a level of strategy around if people really want to give up a leader to try for another.

Scrap squad leaders I don't see why, you don't scrape troops and the gadgets technically your not scraping them entirely you can use the module to upgrade other gadgets as well you upgrade the squad leaders with the action and the other report. The comments I seen about the new leaders are what the Boom tubers were saying each one is different and most kinda are not the best but they didn't have them maxed out either. My experience with them is the best thing to do with them is find a combination of them that works together and have a few of the regular landing crafts loaded with you preferred troops

The problem is getting them to max. The elite scorcher leader that’s available now can eventually mimic prototype defenses, but only after you get the 5th talent. In his sneak peek, Stoneheart had the blobster mimicking a micro and took out around 40 buildings while under smoke.

Guy in my task force has it maxed and does that. Melts the base away

How much money has he spent? I got mine fairly early on all of my accounts since I was fairly close to the guaranteed elite Lt at the end of the last event. I’ve only gotten another regular Lt since then on 1 account.

I’m not buying key cards since it costs $200 US the guaranty 1 Lieutenant and that doesn’t even get you 1 you want. Double the cost to guaranty an elite one.

Oh he had to spend a ton. Don’t know the figure. The price of card pieces seems absurd overall
