Going past EX rank

[kirbo]

Is it really not worth it? I've gotten my main character to Ex1 because i could but I see the next rank takes an insane amount of resources, and from what I can judge, only gives a single additional gem, and increases HP by 1%. really doesn't sound all that great for the effort.
I think i barely have enough for that single jump to Ex2 (after crafting all the materials to tier 3) but i have my doubts. I have my "main party" already at EX.

thoughts?

It's mainly if you like playing the character for a very long term, but if you are building other characters and Tension Cards, then it's not as it requires a ton of resources for small gains. Each of the EX+ ranks are a minor Rank Up stat increase and 1 gem until EX+4 which is the max.

Yes, it is worth it, in what else would you use your resources on?

True the increase in stats is nothing amazing, but they add up "over time", and the true "prize" is the extra " blue gem", unlocking the possibility of you chararacter having "another" role in the party, for example Jio, at EX 3 he is able to get 2 points in offensive tatics, making him also an "extra sub dps" in you party on top of being the usual "25% DEF debuffer". These stats will also work on XB matches, maybe this will be more relevant in future patches.

Exactly. One potential gem doesn't seem very relevant, but four of them definitely are.

And all the resources which are necessary to make the characters get to EX +4 are hard to get now, but they may become much easier to obtain in the future, since the bosses will be stronger and the rifts will have higher levels in the future chapters, and will therefore give better rewards.

That's just my opinion, i wouldn't get character's past EX if you won't get them to at least T4.

Standard 3* Characters are an exception, as you can get their copies just fine over time..,
mainly talking about limited 3*

You'll end up at 21 gems with T4, Ex4. Which are 1 potential at lvl 5 and 1 at lvl 4 (or 5/3/2)

Ex1 is fine because it allows building stronger combos easier. Like you can put 5 points into whatever passive you want and then 1-2-3 ponts into some other skill depending on the number of character dupes. I wouldn't bother with anything above ex1 tho, just doesn't worth the cost.
