EDIT: Since making the video, a few things have changed. The most important thing is the addition of the Token shop. It is currently best to hoard your Gold (instead of using it for Daily missions) and buy bundles that contain Collector's Tokens with that Gold, whenever they're available and cheap. Also - grey cards don't get prioritized for Boosters anymore, but instead any card in your deck that is still missing Boosters for an upgrade now has a 2x chance of receiving Boosters.
I'm taking a break from LoR and decided to give Snap a shot. I got surprised by how fast it hooked me. This content is great for begginers interested in the game's economy, thank you Lobster!
It's a fun game, but my main problem is that you don't actually get credits for playing or even winning, only by completing missions and rarely once when you hit level milestones after 30 or so games. so once you finish your allotment of quests for that 8hr period, there's not any way to progress since you can't upgrade cards, and thus your collection level, without credits.
The fastest way is to create a leveling deck with only white to-green cards. Once all your cards are green, you will have unlocked new cards that are now white. Once all your new cards are green and you have no white cards you can upgrade a single one to blue. You repeat this process leaving only the lowest level cards in your deck and you get all the cards in pool 1 in 3 days of daily missions. By them you will be around level 219 waiting for the resets so you can upgrade your blue collection to purple, and will be around a day for 1 or 2 cards.
My 2 cents: It's not worth to directly buy credits with gold, you get 150 credits for 120 gold. If you refresh the missions you still get 150 credits (50+100 from completing the 2 new missions) but also some Season pass points. I usually keep refreshing until I reach the 25 Daily missions Weekly challenge, then wait for next week, so that I don't run out in case I need it for a week in which I can't play as much.
Do you plan more stuff for Snap? Like basic synergies between cards, decks for beginners and so on? I know you from LoR and always appreciated your highly competent content:)
@@freshlobster holy smokes just saw your video on starter decks. Solid info and I already built all of the decks you featured. I appreciate you and your work.
Feels bad that boosters are assigned to random cards we play rather than giving us the choice of cards to upgrade. One of my favorite characters is the thing and id love to improve his card art but as a card its so bad that i doubt it will see play so there almost no way to improve it
You are playing Marvel Snap as well? I started playing 2 weeks ago, currently at collection level 290 at Vibranium Rank with a Swarm Discard deck. You are still gonna play LoR right? Edit: I skimmed through the video and don't know if he mentioned it, but here is another useful tip, never use the quick upgrade feature in the shop as it is effectively a waste of credits and as he mentioned, credits are the limiting resource for progressing players. You can earn the boosters needed just by playing the game.
After following your Runeterra content and tournament games since the early days of LoR it's awesome to see your Marvel Snap videos popping off Lobster! Can you see yourself wanting to compete in this game?
Great guide! Question for you. After I’ve upgraded all of my white borders, what should I move onto next? One of my friends told me to always upgrade white borders first, then choose one card and upgrade it to max whenever you get the chance… but I couldn’t tell you why that’s supposed to be more efficient. What do you recommend?
It doesn't make much of a difference, but technically your friend is right - once you upgrade a card to Infinite level, you gain another card art variant that starts at grey again, so another cheaper upgrade. I wouldn't worry too much about it though
is the game really pvp? because i ran out of battery yesterday when i was in a match, startet my smartphone a few minutes later and could just play on as if nothing happened. Does anyone one know something about that? awesome video btw ❤
there is a limit for boosters you can get from playing. i didn't count but after playing i stopped getting boosters for cards no matter how many games i played
Did they nerf the daily quests?? I only ever have 2. It will say 2/6, but once I finished them and wait, I only ever get 2 more, and they're on worth 25xp 50credits.
@@freshlobster Ah, okay. I watched this guy talk about Daily Quests, and he 6/6 showing on his, but he was on PC, and I think the video was from beta. Not sure. Thanks for the info, though. Thought it was bugged.
@@freshlobster I'm so damn stupid. I was kind of thinking that, but when I saw the guy with 6/6, I was confused. I couldn't really play yesterday, and when I finally got on in the evening, there were 6/6. I guess he had just let them stack up. 🤦🏿♂️
I just found you with bar keep decks for LoR :( I don't know if I can make time for Marvel Snap, but I may watch you playing it to see how is the game :)
For some reason, I’m at 253 collection level right now and whenever I upgrade a card to get to 254 for the next card, it says “Something went wrong. Try again in a few minutes” can someone please help me out.
Hello, it is possible to get cards from premium season pass some other way than to buy it? MTG arena even hearthstone had the possibility to buy cards for in-game currency ... Was having a blast with Marvel Snap but after finishing the normal season pass, the premium one popped out :D It feels like scam to be honest, Diablo Immportal dirty methods :(
@@freshlobster Hmm good to know .. but still, I hate when u have two types of ingame currency but still there are some items you can buy only with regular money :( They should have put a gold price on the premium pass (even ridiculous number of gold) like HS or MTG:Arena does ... this way it just feel the developers are greedy and I do not think this is a good way to start EA game :(
How much money did you spend to get to that level in so few days? I want to unlock more characters and I'm calculating how much will cost me. Thanks :)
I didn't pay any money, but played a bit in beta. I'd recomment just buying the season pass and being patient with unlocking - spending money on gold is rather pricey
How do y’all get so many credits ? I’m legit doing every single quest there is to do every single day and can’t get enough credits to upgrade that many cards, I even have the battle pass but still not enough credits
I want to buy the Season Pass but there's no option to buy it when I go to the tab. It's showing my max level is 20 with the Blue Marvel card as my reward. Any ideas on what's going on?
A question, sir: as for the spider-woman and carnage variants that we get in the season pass, will they be playable as soon as I unlock them, or will I still need to get their base forms? Great vid, by the way!
that's a good question - I actually don't know! Let me know once you find out :D But both of those are in Pool 1 either way, so they don't take too long to unlock
I really want those Miles Morales pass rewards, but still om Recruit.. 😭 worried I wont have time to get them all, so considering finishing recruit fast with fast upgrades 🤔
You can still do all of the Season Pass Missions from the first four weeks in the last week, so I wouldn't worry about it too much! You'll get a lot of Season Pass XP very quickly
@@freshlobster holy shiiit, I have so many boosters, but struggle to get the needed credits for upgrading.. I was thinking about spending money, but I dunno..
Title is misleading. You just explained how the resource system works, maximizing credit gains per day, and how to actually get cards. No mention if different strategies of acruing a collection quickly. I know some people maximize credit efficiency by only upgrading one card, but this severely stops how fast you get cards unless you are playing non-stop. It's the strategy I'm using and it's boring af; came here hoping you had a different strat than upgrading anything/everything or only leveling one.

Super helpful. Thanks so much.
As a someone that just discovered the game, thank you for the video !
Would love to see tips to hit infinite as easy as possible - which pool, which CL level, which decks, when to retreat, min max tips etc....
I might do some general gameplay guides in the future - for now, I think showcasing decks helps new players the most though :D
thanks for the tips!
Thanks this is really helpful!
Really great information, thank you!

is the game really pvp? because i ran out of battery yesterday when i was in a match, startet my smartphone a few minutes later and could just play on as if nothing happened. Does anyone one know something about that?

At low ranks, the match often matches you against bots for shorter queue times and easier opponents.
Happens way less after ~rank 30
This game use Ram & fps so much that why our battery keep drainning

I am ready to buy the pass when it comes out!
The pass is already out! You just need to complete the Starter Missions / Recruit Season before you can buy it
Why do i only see the recruit pass. How do i get to the newest pass
