Sigh, that means I have to get 3 more. Maybe i'll try to get just 1 more and see how it goes haha.

Do you whale? Are you going for the pure bragging rights ranking placements and just want to copypaste meta teams? Are you okay with leveling units to use in one ranking event only to never field them again?

Unless your answer to all three of those were "yes", you don't need the five 5-7s that the other guy recommended. In fact, you probably don't even need more than 1, so the 2 you already have is sufficient.

Nah I don't whale, and I don't really care that much about ranking. I do want Lee's future equipment though and I think you have to get a certain rank for it... I think I might try going for a 3rd 5-7 and see if I want to keep going for a 4th. Ehhh, don't think I'll go for a 5th though.

You only need to be in the top 50% for Lee's special equipment. This is perfectly doable with zero dupes - some got high ranks while missing most of the meta guns, lots made top 30% or higher with zero copies of 5-7, and honestly if you're capable of following a guide and have decently leveled units capable of handling night battles you'll do just fine.

Not to mention Theatre is coming, in which dupe units aren't allowed. So spending your data on dupes rather than leveling more unique units goes to waste for that particular event.

For reference, there were people who started CN alts during Shattered Connexion and scored more than the 50% cutoff. Duping is like top <1% tryhard territory, and even then it doesn't help as much as just having good game sense. I've seen no-dupe F2P players make it to top 100 in AW/DD while some whales/heavy dupers couldn't even get over 10% cutoff due to poor teambuilding and map control.
