True, though they've left out an important word in the title. That word being "overpriced." This forum topic should say, "Update 208 - Overpriced Micro-Upgrades and crystals for ranks!" Regardless, I don't hate Micro-upgrades. I'll just play Pro-battles with supplies/MU's disabled.

This is a very good first comment.

Very good article! Clearly you put a lot of work into this one and I'm sure it will help many who are wishing to know more about MU's. Good job. :)

M2 hulls: Wasp - Titan - Hunter M2 turrets: Rico - Isida - Freeze - Shaft - Smoky Paints: Tundra/Electra/Rustle 240k crystals to spend... 60k xp until Brigadier... What should I add to my garage? I'm thinking about Thunder M2... My hull upgrades are all very far away.. Wasp is the closest and thats not till 5 ranks... as for my weapons, Ill M3 shaft and maybe M3 isida or freeze... I plan to M3 Rico and Smoky, but both unlock very late too. I'll also need a nice paint like Prodigi in the future. Advice appreciated :p

M2 Hulls: Titan, Wasp, Hunter M2 Turrets: Smoky, Shaft, Isida, Freeze Paints: Tundra/Electra Lots of crystals to spend... 60k xp away from Brigadier... no clue what to do at this point. I had my heart set on Winter, but I don't see enough shafts for it to be worth it... I'm considering Rustle at this point, for use on my Titan/Smoky M2 combo. Any suggestions anyone?

Smoky is OP.

What do you want help with..? Just look around and find a section that suits you, educate yourself by playing frequently and reading insightful posts by players who know what they're talking about, and begin sharing in discussions. Hope you enjoy yourself. :)

Awesome video! Saves much of us alot of hassle searching through every single map ourselves. Thanks a bunch. :)

Edit: Added another link at the bottom to yele's recent post: Micro-upgrades paints - all tables

Do not upgrade until M3 if you want to save crystals. You can MU the first 1-2 steps per parameter if you want to though, they help the most.

Skill.

Not entirely sure yet... we'll see. I think I'm still learning what kind of player I am at this point, it seems my views and wants for end-game equipment is constantly evolving.

Yes. Once you upgrade equipment to the next modification, all micro-upgrades are reset. That is why its better to wait to micro-upgrade at M3, rather than at M0, M1, or M2.

I think shaft at m3 is a little less useful since the HP of everyone around you takes a big leap forward, while your damage increase is barely noticeable.

Um... why were these topics merged? They are actually quite different and now all the comments are jumbled up and hardly make sense... please undo this?

I'd keep Cedar and wait to buy Rustle rather than Electra. It's really not a far rank at all... 2nd Lieutenant -> Major is easily doable in a short period of time. Cedar is probably more useful than Electra anyways, with the OPness of thunder at M1 and M2 in comparison to other turrets unlocked at those ranks.

This information has already been calculated for every single parameter and upgrade. You can find the information in the Gameplay section by yele in the posts entitled, "Micro-upgrades turrets - all tables," and "Micro-upgrades hulls - all tables." Very useful! :)

Each fully upgraded parameter results in a small discount. After maxing all parameters of a particular hull or turret, the next modification will be 70% cheaper.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments! :)
