Heroics are meant to be strong and hard to get, but since DC started selling them for gems i don't think it's a good idea to make them OP. The gap between F2P and P2W is more visible now and it is very frustrating for the low level speed-run player, i've seen people in top global ranking up high fenrir and their heroics to lvl 70 and 60. Also offering heroic made it harder to differentiate between a legit player and a hacker since hacker could use the dragons that were offered before. This also encourage people to buy gems outside of the game, i've seen people buying gems from website and they get it way cheaper. I don't know if this is the right place to post this.But SP will lose more and more player if the current meta continues. Many people just won't spend over 300$ to rank up their heroics.

The buying Heroics was a Black Friday Special and only happened in that week. It will only be an occasional thing and they are very expensive anyway and some spend that much to win them in the races.

@yobbaha Psychological studies show a single nerf hurts as much as 2 buffs feels good. A better idea is to make current dragons stronger, so people who actually did pay the money don’t go all “ohmyFRIcK wHY dId thEy NeRF yGGDRasIl hE wAS so GooD I paId 30 BucKS jUsT foR tHE oRbs” and the f2p players (like me) don’t have to go insane over unbalanced meta and have to devote several hours a day just to get partially caught up with p2pers. And as is, there are (some) breedable dragons that have the advantage of being easily empowered as is... but I still hate heroics.

@bathtubdoritos this is my first time playing a battle game of any sort. Please help... What are needs and what are buffs????

Also how do you buy gems off-site? Not that I can afford to continue to be a p2p player any longer and am trying to settle in as a f2p player. This game just seems so impossible to play free, so money hungry yet for the $ they beg for you would think that there would be less glitches and better development. Not sure I'll be playing much longer the more I think about it.

@angie-fawn Nerfs are making dragons weaker and buffs are making dragons stronger.

Ty for the reply

If they do try to sell more Heroic Dragons in the future, might as well save up Gems and hope a Dragon you don't have goes on sale.
I missed out on both High Purity and High Spirits, and was only able to buy High Purity because of tasks.
Did not have enough for High Spirits.
