As you’ll see, I’m very mediocre at this game. I’ve bought just the premium field pass and $1-$5 outside of that. For most of this season I was using a team that was goo, but not the best possible. For reference at the end of the season I had about $1.5m coins worth of non-BND cards in my lineup, at 85-86 overall.
Now, the games. I started in Bronze rank after just playing the placements games. To reach all the way into Champion 1 it took me 69 total games, my final record was 38-31. Nearly every loss was -15 points, and at 2900 the last win was around 40 points.
I really enjoyed this from 1500 all the way to around 2600-2700. It took me roughly 40 games to reach 2600 and another 30 to reach 2900 - was +1 on the final card worth it? Probably not, but there were coin rewards and just the “fun” of playing the game.
