Thanks for pointing me to right direction and the fewest upgrade to clear on normal for me was around 7. Is the order of easiest to hardest for battles is, Battle, Horde Battle, Elite Battle, Treasure then Boss Battle? Also i don't find recycle usefully till after 3rd Challege. Free repair is useless 99% of the times I've played. If you are thinking about sequal, sorting inventory by type would be nice improvement and maybe care over certain amount of stuff each run , im not suggesting 45 mech parts and or like 60 items. Also rng can be not fair made it to 6-1 w.o getting the best energy weapon, and shops gave nice stuff every 10th time refreshing on avg, too hard to increase dps.
Thanks for your feedback and suggestions.
Boss and Elite Battles are supposed to be the hardest, but it depends on your team composition.
Recycle is mostly useful for the endgame indeed, that's why it's the rarest event to show up.
Your units lose max HP depending on the damage they took during a battle so a valid strategy is taking intentional risks with Elite or Horde Battles to increase your RNG chances, since these give the most gold and items. That way, free repairs can be utilized to gain back the maximum health that was spent on obtaining more items.
thanks, but when you need up making 10k a battle shop repairs are best, the problem I've been having is getting to endgame loot, and shop Freshes barely helps when I do have 6 digits or more l am refreshing down to 40k, barely buy anything keep getting junk items I have lots of or don't need. Sometimes when I get the 5 mech parts I wanted getting to a workshop can be tough, Would not mind for shop upgrades for the sequel, like increase likelihood of rarities and or getting 9 stuff to show up instead of 3 when your barely surviving and refreshing like 3 times to 5 times when you have like 1000 gold, waiting for 1 or 2 stuff to show up, would like the best stuff to show up a bit more.
