Class of 99s #2 – Amy Aims For The Stars

Hey there Addicts

So it’s time for your characters to climb the career ladder, yes they’ve hovered in the lowly ranks for long enough and now they need to take that one giant step for man, robot, alien, mutant or woman kind to reach that coveted 4-Star rank that will see them start their journey towards the ultimate goal of being a Level 99 character.

And as you know I decided to do posts tracking my characters progress as they aim to join my Class of 99’s. Promoting characters to 99 is not easy but I thought we might as well have some fun along the way looking at the various characters that make the ultimate journey from 1-99 in my game. And who are we going to be looking at today? Well Amy, as she had the great honour of being the first Scientist I took all the way to Level 99.

So why did I choose Amy? Quite simply because she’s charming, or more accurately I chose her due to her ability to charm enemies in combat.  So this promotion was based on combat strategy.

So let’s break down what it will cost you to get our first Scientist into the Class of 99’s and of course look at the benefits there are in ranking and levelling Amy up.  And to make it simple to follow I’ll break it up into her Star Ranks.

1-Star Rank Amy

Every character, including Amy, starts ranked at 1-Star, and at this rank Amy comes with the following passives:

Scientist’s Experiment: Launches an attack against multiple enemies

Splash Attack: Attacks multiple enemies.

And from here you can start levelling up Amy to a maximum Level 10. The cost to do so is as follows:

Nixonbucks: 3840
Career XP: 2400

Once at Level 10, Amy cannot rise the level ladder any further until you promote her to a 2-Star Rank.

Was She Worth It?

So is Amy a worthy promotion or a luxury you can’t afford?

Well in my opinion, and this is just mine, she’s a very worthy promotion to at least 4 Star Rank as this unlocks her Charm passive, and although it says there is only 15% chance of this I find the odds of her using it much higher. Add to this her Scientist ability to attack multiple enemies at once and she’s a main character she’s very worthy of the resources spent on her.
