    Hey everyone,

    Does this work and what is the best way to upgrade drones? (I got 9 drones and I want to upgrade them to level 16 from level1) I got 30% discount (premium and discount-package) and I will go for an upgrade-hour so that add 25% which makes 55% discount at the end.

    But does this tabel work and what is the best way to upgrade uridium items?

    Thank you!

    Regards,
    Roy

    I gave up on the "chance" and just went 100% for all of my upgrades. The discount you will get is great in that regard.

    It's based on probability. The number of people who actually did them are relatively low, so it's safe to assume that it doesn't work.
    What I do is wait for upgrade hour, and use 100% chance upgrades.

    Yes go 100% everytime and utilise the 25% upgrading hour (if you can).

    In the latter levels upgrading hour at most gives lets you upgrade maybe 2-3 levels.

    I'll suggest not to wait for upgrading hour as it is rare and hard to catch. With your 30% discount upgrading should be relatively easier. :)

    I had started upgrading my 8 Iris drones and saved 50% on level 1-2 using 30% discount and 25% chance but getting level 2-3 I have not saved anything and still have 1 to get to level 3. So to save time I would suggest using 100% chance and just spend the Uridium during the Bonus Hour.

    Getting to level 4 on 8 drones at 100% getting 30% discount is 73K uri, and it gets more expensive as you go up.

    I just posted what I would spend to get my 8 to level 4 using just Premium and Rebate at 100% chance of upgrade. I have not been lucky enough to catch the Special Hour.
