Also, if you want to focus on PvP, too much of a good thing can actually be bad. At 1800 shards for activation cost, having a loadout of 3 legendaries is either unattainable, or is going to hamstring your team if you shard hog. Sure, you can take a shard generator with you, but then you’re giving up a slot that could be used to enhance your hero.
For Capture especially, where cashflow is generally low, some of the best gear is actually common gear with 0 shard activation cost, giving you an immediate advantage at the beginning of the round. All of them will have drawbacks, but if you can find one that’s irrelevant to your character (-% healing power for Oscar Mike for example), you will be better off than an opponent using the same character without gear. After getting the rest, proceed to spend shards on buildables, helping out your team, and leveling faster yourself.
Also, I know there are some great legendaries, some of which i would love to get my hands on, but hoarding them is not necessary, and just by focusing on each character’s lore-specific gear, you can build a solid PvP loadout.
That being said, best of luck y’all, may RNGesus smile upon you.
