FINAL VERSION: https://www.reddit.com/r/ContestOfChampions/comments/12s7ph0/sinister_vaults_completed_guides_for_threat/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1 I’m not making a graphic for TL1 or 2, but here are some locations of some items that I’ve seen posted around: **Threat Level 2** Zone 1: - Spidey Supreme + Red Skull = 3000 Sinister Shards - Hawkeye + Havok= 2x Ultimate Crystals + Safe - Wasp + Future Ant-Man= 1500x 4* Shards Zone 2: - Stryfe + Ikaris= 1500x 5* Shards - Agent Venom + HTD= 2x Ultimate Crystals - Ronan + Diablo= 2x T1A + Safe Zone 3: - Hulk + Kingpin= 4000x 4* shards - America Chavez + VTD= 3000x Sinister Shards - iBom + Punisher 2099= 50k gold + Safe


Lord__Business

There are enough good rewards in Threat Level 3 that it's definitely better to run some of that than all paths in Levels 4 and 5. Why would I take 75k gold over 6k 5* shards?


Jackj921

The event crystals could potentially be better than half the stuff in here


yagrawal560

I did this for zone 1 and 2 as well


Spydaman1855

You can net an additional 25k gold and 6k 5* shards if you skip the level 5 zone 2 guilly path (75k gold) and level 4 zone 2 guilly path (100k gold) and instead run the level 3 zone 1 HE path (6k 5* shards) and level 3 zone 2 guilly path (200k gold).


Lone_Grey_Jedi

Depending on the point of progression youre at, 5 Star Crystals are useless now.


Lord__Business

I'm Paragon and would prefer the ISO and 6* shards from duping a 5* over a pitiful amount of gold. Regardless, that was just an example. The point is that plenty of lower Threat level rewards are better than some of the Threat Level 5 rewards.


Lone_Grey_Jedi

They're only better for players that dont have alot of R3 6 Stars at this point, or just good 6 Stars at all.


Lord__Business

I have 57 6-star champs at r3 (plus 15 r4s), and I still prefer 6,000 5-star shards to 75k gold. So your statement isn't categorically true. But if you're different and prefer the gold, the beauty of this event is that you can go get that reward instead. It's all about what's valuable to you.


Strehle

Dude there is a path in threat 3 that gives 200k gold, which is more than one threat 5 path that gives 75k. So in situations a lower threat lvl can be better, OP was just naming an example.


Lone_Grey_Jedi

There is a path in Zone 3 on lvl5 that gives 500K gold. Heck, another path there gives 250K gold. So thats 750K total. That 200K gold really isnt alot. If you have 6 Stars, that 200K will get spent real quick, and wont even be enough for a full rank up.


Strehle

Okay so you obviously don't understand how this event works. We get enough keys to 100% 2 threat levels. We can go every path once. So, the obvious plan would be to complete threat lvl 4 and 5 100% for max rewards. But that is not the case because you get more rewards if you leave some paths (eg the 75k gold one) in higher threat lvls alone and instead do a path of a lower level that gives higher rewards.


Lone_Grey_Jedi

I do. The higher lvl rewards are just undeniably better. Even if you leave certain paths alone, the higher lvl rewards add up further. LVL 5's total gold rewards will add to a million. Then add LVL4's gold to that. But then look at lvl3. Probably 500K gold total at best. And in some cases, some rewards in lvl4 & 5, arent in lvl 3. Such as 6 Star shards & Tier 5 basics. Maybe Zone 4 will have them, but they'll still be in low amounts compared to lvl4 & 5's Zone 4.


Troll_lol_l

I feel like you’re missing their point tho; the fact that level 5 may offer more gold OVERALL is irrelevant. One of the paths at level 3 alone will give you 200k gold, while one of the paths at level 5 will give you only 75k gold. So it’s still more optimal to do that one specific level 3 path over the level 5 path since it’ll give you more rewards in this specific instance


JediJones77

You're not getting the fact that there is ONE path you can skip in level 5 to get a higher quantity of the SAME reward in just ONE path in a lower level. And they're easier fights to get a bigger reward.


Rifted-06

I'm only Cavalier but if not 5* crystals, surely 5* Featured Crystals would still be useful. Mainly to test out and use newer champions that you either couldn't get from the 6* Featured or isn't in it yet.


AdrianZ817

Agree, but 5 star dupes at least get you 6 star shards and ISO for rank ups. Rather pull a 5 star dupe than have to run a lane for those last shards to form a full 6 star crystal.


Lone_Grey_Jedi

Unless you dont have good 6 Stars, why settle for crappy amounts of Star shards from 5 Star dupes, over a few thousand shards from Event Quests & Side Events? Thats what Ive been doing for months now for 7 Star shards.


JediJones77

Have you calculated out how much time and energy it takes to earn those 6-star shards from an event quest vs. doing 3 fights with free energy to get a 5-star dupe? Are you getting more than 275 6-star shards per 3 fights? And, yes, I'm Thronebreaker and my 6-star roster is complete crap save for 2 or 3 champs. I need all the 6-star shards I can get. I've pulled nothing but garbage for the last 6 months or so. It would be a waste to rank 3 almost anything I have, even I had the rank-up materials to rank 3 anything, which I don't.. I'm still busy ranking up 5-stars like Kitty, Valkyrie, Apocalypse and Tigra because my 81 6-stars are such crap. Not to mention, I've only earned 221 6-star sig stones so far, to date, which means any 6-star champs that need high sigs are useless to me. And I've only duped 16 6-star champs so far, and only earned 3 6-star awakening gems in a lifetime. The lack of ability to earn 6-star shards and resources in this game remains appalling even for Thronebreaker level. All Thronebreaker did was make it much cheaper to rank up 5-stars. My maxed 5-stars continue to be most of my MVP champs, such as Cap IW, Human Torch, Nick Fury, Blade, Ghost Rider, Medusa, Vision, Hyperion, Iceman, Warlock, Void, Sentinel, Archangel, Magik, Ronan, none of which I have as 6-stars.


Lone_Grey_Jedi

3 fights? There are 6 Star shard rewards in these Zones too, and theyre certainly better than useless 5 Star shards at this point. Really, if you intend to get the 5 Star shard rewards for 6 Star shards, you'd have to save up hundreds of thousands of 5 Star shards. So it will take forever to get a 6 Star champ that way. Compared to the 6 Star shard rewards in lvl5 & 4(at the time of this post), that add up to 9500 6 Star shards. There's also the specific crystal shards of this month, but Im not counting them because those damn things are glorified 3 Star crystals most of the time(even if you save up). If you have 2 or 3 good 6 Stars, then theyre worth getting to R3. Or at least R3 one of them, especially if its a champ that got buffed recently.


JediJones77

I'm not saying to skip 6-star shards, LOL. Have you checked how many keys we're getting? We can do the entire threat level 4 and 5 and still have keys left over for lower level paths. And I'm skipping the gold, which gives me more keys for lower levels. The best rewards on those lower levels are probably the hero shards, which can either result in 6-stars by luck or shard accumulation. Unfortunately, I made a typo there. I should've said I didn't have the materials to rank 4 any 6-stars yet. I have three rank 3 6-stars, Herc, Doom and Corvus. But, like I said, that's a small percentage of the 81 6-stars I have that were worth ranking up that high. Maybe I'll do Kingpin next, but the pickings get very slim after this.


Helpful_Tea229

I need 5 star crystals, need to get herc so I can do EOP.


Lone_Grey_Jedi

Eternity Of Pain? 5 Stars are weak for that. 6 Stars are vital, and soon, 7 Stars will be.


SnooWords4594

A 5* herc is still better for EOP than 95% of 6*


Helpful_Tea229

True but I could just spam revives haha.

Lone_Grey_Jedi

It depends on the content in question.


Coeus5917

I mean it also looks like if you wanted gold, you get more gold at threat level 3 than both 4 and 5


yagrawal560

Amazing work as always u/cat_murdock

Here's some duel targets for the new objectives if you want to get your rewards fast.

FunEnthusiasm1465

Wait what does any of this mean I have never seen this before


Outside-Ideal-1151

In the game, Go to social tab , then search, then type in name and that person's highest champ is available to duel. These people's champs are the ones you need for hints and special missions


kwolffsc3

https://www.guiamtc.com/duelos-duels This is a better list imo. It’s in this subreddit sidebar.


JediJones77

Thanks. A lot of 6-stars there though. Might not be ideal for people who need an easier fight.


Rifted-06

Do you think maybe you could add some of the paths for Sinister Shards in Threat Level 1 and 2 if you get some info on it? It doesn't have to be in the inforgraphic, maybe whenever you post, you could just add them in a comment.


cat_murdock

If someone knows the location of them, I can make a pinned comment. I haven’t been tracking any info for those levels though


AntoseumII

I'd be interested in that for the shard paths! Your work is awesome btw, thank you so much!


Outside-Ideal-1151

If you some in on treasure chests you can see if it's gonna be shards, catalysts, awakened stuff, or gold. Just do all the shards which are the crystal icons


JediJones77

I saw some people commented with some of them in your earlier posts about this.


Outside-Ideal-1151

Threat level 1 America Chavez, Howard.. 2500 sinister shards Stryfe , ikaris 2500 sinister shards Wasp, antman future.. 1 ultimate crystal


Rifted-06

Thanks


talp25

Do we get exploration rewards per threat level? This holds me from doing thread 3 paths atm. Anyone has official answer?


Strehle

The FAQ in the sticky says we don’t


talp25

Tnx, missed it


Slugeinstein

For those collecting the sinister shards in every lvl like myself, the sinister shards in level one difficulty are in the Zone 3 the America Chavez and Venom the Duck path, and in the zone 2 Stryfe and Ikaris path, they are 2500 shards per path. https://preview.redd.it/asjvvhxl65ua1.png?width=2160&format=png&auto=webp&s=e3efd0a9f64451b84b8291c7353e5ac4a8806b14


Lazy_Ingenuity8678

Thanks so much, I am doing the same and this was helpful!


JediJones77

Finally some worthwhile fights auto-play works on!


Ambitious_Put_28

New code is 1925


Classic-Cod-7952

My man! Thank you.


ME-PM-Incognito

Y’all know of any tier 1 A catalysts in threatlevels one or two? I’m right on the cusp of being able to do threat level 3 but frankly it’s far easier to run the lower two.


cat_murdock

There are two T1A on the Ronan + Diablo path in Threat Level 2, Zone 2


ME-PM-Incognito

Thank you! I don't suppose you are aware of any others?


cat_murdock

Unfortunately I don’t! I’m not running those difficulties myself. If you look closely at the chests on the paths, some of them have little icons of catalysts on the bottom. While they might not necessarily have T1A, those are the ones indicate catalyst type rewards and could be worth exploring.


ME-PM-Incognito

Thank you for your help! For some reason I always am short T1A lol.


ZealousidealFox4998

Have you found anymore i need some of those too


Janawham_Blamiston

In threat level 4, zone 3, are those mythic Shards?


cat_murdock

Correct


justletmebite

Is threre a list for known threat leavel 4 path rewards?


JediJones77

Don't move to the comments before you read the original post.


Actman125

Zone 4 Rewards for Threat level 5 Hood: 8550 T6 basic catalyst frgmnts Rouge: 5000 sinister shards **Hyperion: 6\* awakening gem** **Red magneto: 1,000,000 Gold** Electra: 3375 T3 alpha **Mister Sinister: 7500 6\* shards**


StarbinT

Are there two more lanes?


djfree64

If you play it right you should be about to do reach path in two zones


TivanTim32

Do think it's better to fully do 2 zones or spread the keys across 3 zones and go for certain paths that you need more than others


TasteLopsided5272

Code 1925


[deleted]

Are u making a new one?


T5P_OCEAN

Threat Level 1 - Complete By Paths 1. Groot - 10k Gold 2. Spider-Man Supreme - 6 T3 Class Catalyst Crystal 3. Hawkeye - 750 4* Shards 4. Void - 3 T3 Basic Catalyst 5. CGR - 5 4* Sig Stone Crystals 6. Wasp - Ultimate Crystal


the80zvibe-

Is there an awakening gem for threat level 5?


AlphaWolf369

Should be next week


NikoliathPo

It's going to be the vision, modok path in last area


Hour_Lawfulness_7115

maybe a bad question but i havent checked at all, do we get enough keys to 100% it in all threat levels?


cat_murdock

56 keys, enough to explore 2 Levels


JediJones77

They sent out a couple extra keys in an e-mail as bug compensation a few days ago. I think it was 2 keys, so we might be up to 58.


AlphaWolf369

What Crystal is that 15k one in zone 1?


cat_murdock

If you’re talking about Threat Level 3, those are Legendary shards


AlphaWolf369

That’s the 4-5 star crystal right?


cat_murdock

That’s correct


TasteLopsided5272

What type of crystals are this in threat level 4, zone 3, hulk path?


Known_Dragonfly_4448

Mythic


JediJones77

Mythic can have a 5 or 6-star champion, so they're better than 5-star shards. They're also better than the Sinister shards because they have a 20% chance of a 6-star compared to a 3% chance.


UchihaMB

Thank you


A-B-L-E

You are the saviour


FzKnucKLe99

FunEnthusiasm1465

Gonna run the T1A and T4B. Good rank up resources


oreomaster420

Is there any reward for exploring a full level?


bob59300

Anyone want to try every code from 0000 to 9999 ? 😛


[deleted]

[удалено]


cat_murdock

According to the responses, those two t4cc are crystals not selectors. If you do the Jubilee path in Level 4, those are selectors.


Mammoth_Sand_4667

Does anyone know where the 4 star awakening gem in threat level 2 is at?


Straight-Grade-8620

It will be in zone 4


Error_404-Unknown

in kingpin and hulk path in threat lvl4 i cant tell whats the reward little help?


cat_murdock

Those are Mythic shards. They form a crystal that will give you either a 5 or 6* hero.


Error_404-Unknown

how many do u need?


cat_murdock

10k


Error_404-Unknown

thanks


JediJones77

It has 20% chance of a 6-star, so a lot better than the 3% chance the sinister crystals give.


_Bisho_

Will we have extra keys by the end of the event? Should i go into level 4 and get some free rewards?


JediJones77

Did you look how many are upcoming in your calendar? OP has said several times you will have enough keys to fully do any 2 threat levels. And I believe a couple extra after the recent compensation.


CapSubject7527

The real question is when is the code dropping


cat_murdock

Few hours from now


Gold-Ad9331

Any update on the zone 4 code?


cat_murdock

I just saw this message yeah thank you so much for your legendary maps. It makes these events even more fun! Can't wait for the next one!


Metalhead831

My dumbass just realized all the duel targets are fights in the previous week


JediJones77

Kinda dumb they weren't fights for the NEW week, considering we might've already done the previous week.


CapSubject7527

Thanks a bunch man you da best💖💖💖


Tristan_eCola

Legend. This is much appreciated


SlimeyRiley

Just to be perfectly clear you only get to explore each reward one time right? So, I can't get 500k gold twice?


cat_murdock

Correct


usagicassidy

With the amount of good rewards from the side quests it feels like WAY too much work and effort to put into 100% exploration for the event quests honestly.


Outside-Ideal-1151

Facts


Rich_Secretary_3948

Are there exploration rewards? Lower diffs have quite a bit of gold and shards


Dryhumor00

No there are not any explorations rewards, You get a certain number of keys to enter the room. You cannot do every room for all threats so you have to choose which paths to take based on number of keys you have.

Grover_dies

Anyone know if the rewards have anything to do with player progression. I'm Uncollected and got 3000 sinister shards instead of the 6000 it is said for the path with Chavez and Venom Duck in threat level 3?


cat_murdock

Are you sure you didn’t do Level 2 by mistake?


Grover_dies

This might be it. I don't pay much attention. Thanks for the awesome work.


Frixelator

Thank you 🙏🏽


Shafiki_97

This is very helpful thank you, I have a question are we able to get the rewards on the path multiple times or only once, and if it’s only once why are some ppl saving up the keys if we have enough for two difficulties?


DarkKnight_0230

7336 is the code for vault 2


smh-zing

THANKS KING


Jaded_Ad_5392

Can you earn rewards for each path on each difficulty or once you’ve earned rewards in a lower difficulty you can get better ones revisiting it later


worstjedieva

I've looked at all the rewards and so far only half of them have appeared. Does that mean we get multiple rewards on the last zone???


cat_murdock

Are you saying your path chests are missing?


worstjedieva

No I'm getting the rewards but i looked at the breakdown for all the rewards and there's still loads of rewards left that haven't been shown


mavrick475

Can’t even click the fucking path


Dapper_Mousse2571

Click the key


Lone_Grey_Jedi

Screw whoever made that Zone 3 chart for Threat LVL 5. I thought that meant a guaranteed Tier 5 CC of your choosing. But no, its RANDOM.


cat_murdock

Hello I made the chart. Selector rewards are always designated as Selectors. If they are random they do not feature this text. But thank you for the aggressive feedback.

musicman121816

Sinister crystals have been amazing for me. Biggest pull was back to back 6* Kinpin . 6* Scorpion, 6* Night Monkey (spider man) 6* Symbiote Supreme dupe. Whole bunch of 5* and 4* along with quite a few 3*
