Chaos Theory

Red stars are a very important way of progressing your characters. Various red star ranks provide different percentage bonuses to all your character’s base stats. 5, 10, 20, 35, 50, 60 and 75 percent for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 red stars respectively.

IMPORTANT: Having and a red star rank without having an equivalent of yellow stars will provide no bonus.

Chaos Theory is a monthly event that provides red star promotion credits. It is there every first Friday of the month. Using these credits you can promote red stars on a selected character in a predictive manner by buying them in the store unlike red star orbs where you get a chance to get different star ranks on a random character. Chaos Theory IV: requires 5 characters with Wakandan tag at 4 starsChaos Theory IV: requires 5 characters with Wakandan tag at 4 stars

This maps shows the shortest path to unlock all characters needed for this event for a new player.

This is made based on my own experience as a new free-to-play player and depending on the purchases you have made and the luck you may have had with certain character shards, this will probably be different for you.

Path

The requirements are clear that only 5 characters are available to get you through this event. Black Panther, Killmonger, M’baku, Okoye and the legendary Shuri. Being a legendary character that is only available when her event comes, she will probably not be available to newer players and to progress to tier 3 of the Chaos theory event you don’t need her so go for the other 4 characters.

To get to tier 4 of Chaos Theory you will need Suri and to unlock her you will need 5 Spider-verse characters at 5 stars. And the fastest and least intensive path is using the 3 characters from the blitz store as they require currency that will be the first one to stop being a bottleneck. These are Miles Morales, Rhino and Spiderman. Farm Shocker and Green Goblin in the campaign nodes.

Some may argue that it is better to go for Sinister Six. Yes, you should if you want to go for Invisible Woman. But note that this is not the shortest path as it requires arena currency to farm Vulture and you will need those for M’Baku plus other, more valuable characters can be obtained in the arena store. The same situation is with Mysterio in the raid store. You will want to spend those on Killmonger. However, if you have been opening raid orbs and you had good luck on getting Mysterio shards, then go for it.

I suggest avoiding Carnage completely unless you have been really luck with his shards in basic, premium and mega orbs as he is a war store character and it is hard to get this currency. Carnage is a great character when combined with Symbiote Spider-man which is a milestone event and really hard to unlock and rank up. This sums up why they are not a good choice if you want to do get through this event fast.

Venom is a good character and in my opinion better than either Miles Morales or Spider-man but he is not on the easiest node to farm. Once you get to his node and the difference in rank is not too big, you may want to make the switch. Venom may also be used to replace any character that you need for Shuri that you are having bad luck with by opening orbs.

Once you have these characters at 5 stars you can unlock Shuri. She was reported to be unlocked with a team of 60k power rating, 6-stared with as low as 86k and 7-stared with 108k. This should not be that difficult as only blue gear was used.

NOTE: These power levels show lowest reported teams that were able to rank Shuri and you may need a bit more but there is no need to over-invest in any of these characters as only sinister six is needed to unlock invisible woman and she can be unlocked at even lower power levels.

At this moment i have no numbers on what power level Wakandans is needed to 3 star the events put as soon as i have them i will update the article.

Keep ranking up these characters and you will surely progress in Chaos Theory event. And that is it! I hope you found this article useful. And as always, I appreciate your comments so please leave them down below.

And a word of warning before the end. This game adds many new characters frequently and they tend to be more powerful. I know you must be tempted to get your Phoenix to 7 red stars but do take a moment and consider other characters before you spend your promotion credits. Take into consideration what characters are available at that moment and hold on to the credits. I invested mine into phoenix and don’t regret it but after then Mr. Sinister has become farmable and also Black Order was introduced. So take your time, gather and try out all the available characters before investing.
