Unfortunately, I don’t have the capability to upgrade anyone now, thanks to this story campaign:
To clarify why, in order to beat this mission, I was instructed to raise 3, maybe 4 specific characters to 184 Red9.
Counting the two others I chose on my own, that’s 5 total, resulting in this lack of XP potions:
Considering I only intend to use one of those characters seriously, my patience with levelling characters I am not using is now very thin.
Especially considering one of those 5 I never intended to use at all, so I’m quite frustrated to be wasting valuable badges/XP on that one for the sake of one story mission!
Hence why I am very annoyed with the situation repeating itself with Hank, I have almost no resources left due to the above situation and am expected to expend more of what I do not have just for one Friendship battle, two at most.
This is the upgrade he would theorectically need:
and it is a significant undertaking.
