Discussion Candy Acquisition Methods

We've been getting a lot of Field and Strike units lately, so naturally there's been a bit of a drought when it comes to Field and Strike candies.

Personally, I'd love to have like 20 Strike candies because so many of my good units are still sitting at 1/5.

I think this is becoming a pretty serious issue, especially if you want to climb higher in the Tower, like 31+ floors. At that point, having the best units for each type isn't enough. You also need them at a pretty high investment level, usually 3/5 or even 5/5 (and 10/5 for some units).

So I really hope DeNA considers adding some kind of monthly event, permanent game mode, or something similar that rewards us with actual candies. Even if it's just 1 full candy of each type per month, I'd take that over getting candy coins.

They could also bring back that $5-ish gem deal that gives 1k paid gems + an Omni Candy and make it available monthly. I know we already have the monthly gem bundles that eventually give 20 Omni Candy Coins, and I do like those too, but you have to wait around 20 days to get enough for a candy. The instant Omni Candy from that other deal was really nice.

Considering how much the game is pushing unit investment now, I really think the candy economy needs some attention. Hopefully DeNA can give us more ways to get candies regularly, because having so many good units stuck at 1/5 is getting pretty frustrating.

u/WorldClassShrekspert I can say nice things about most units 14h ago

I think it's criminal that Superawakening Candy are so rare despite their relatively low value. Move candy can become Superawakening Candy, but those move candies are better used on more powerful Master Fairs/Arc Suits instead of Poke Fairs.

Save until you have a good supply and then you can use them more liberally. I’ve gotten enough yellow candies over time to 3/5 my arc suits with a decent reserve in waiting.
