You can accelerate progress with $$$ or better resource management. Lack of patience is probably the 2nd biggest contributor to new player struggles and frustration.
how is that? i didnt wait for x2 on voids and sacreds and i have several leggos, one of them is void. and its already made a progress for me through doom tower so ive got several shards and books, as well as energy, ruby and other stuff.
i can agree on ancient, coz they are not so rare even for a new player and by the next x2 we can stack up at least couple of dozens of them.
also sacred dont require improvement that much imo. i mean ull get at least epic and there is a lot of epics which on par or even far better than leggos. and they are way easier to book. leggos doesnt even mean "good champ". i have good example of that - alexander. he is worse than rare lol. or var-gall, which is not that bad to be worse than rare, but him to be leggo... on the other hand we have uugo, vogoth or fayne. so i dont know what frustration r u talking about. u get champ sooner, u strting to advance in something sooner, u get more stuff coz u didnt missed another week or two.
