Which purple crew are worth leveling twice?

Capt. ChaosCapt. Chaos ✭✭✭✭✭
I have two Combat Medic Paris's, two Mirror Phlox's and two M-113 Creatures (hey, I was bored).
Are there any purple crew you feel are worth having two of?

    Princess, 1701 and Mirror Jadzia come to mind.

    Honestly, I don’t think there are any, by the time you can justify investing in one twice you’ll need the crew slots anyway for 5*s

    I'm glad I doubled up Combat Medic Paris. I'm working on extra copies of Robin Hood and Alan-A-Dale now.

    I haven't doubled up on any yet but I might be in a position to consider it soon. I am contemplating doubling up on Robin Hood because his security stats are off the charts for a 4*. If I was close to finishing all the purples like some others, main cast I guess would be a good start with highest repeats. I would save a couple of crew slots for it but I wouldn't level anyone until I had all 4* though.
  • I have 11 doubles now (4*, plus around 8 more 1/2/3*). When the second copy gets to level 80, I freeze the first one, knowing the other will be immortalized within a few days or a week. The reasoning? At first, it was the fact I already had a copy, and got a second copy FF from an Event. From there I just began picking ones that had high stats or dropped regularly. And a couple are just ones I liked. Then I started doing a few lower 1/2/3* for the Achievement bonuses.

    4* Doubles:
    • Princess Jadzia
    • Drone Seven
    • Tactical Burnham
    • Captain Janeway
    • Blood Oath Jadzia
    • 1701 Jadzia
    • Waitress Ezri
    • Bridge Officer Troi
    • Detective Dixon Hill
    • Temporal Agent Seven
    • Mirror Empress Sato

    Now the decision is based on keeping the game going, as I have all but 5 SR's, and the ones I do have are almost completely FE'd. Obviously I am now concentrating more on my 5* crew, but to avoid stagnation, I will likely add a few more 'clones'. :)

  • I have only done it twice, and only have one pair active. Combat Medic Paris and Combat Medic Paris #2 are my 6th/7th best MED crew for shuttles. For the event, I made a second Admiral Ross, but both are in the freezer now.

    All the ones mentioned so far are in the freezer for me except Phlox for gauntlet, so I definitely don't need two in the freezer.

    my vote would be none, but I could see the appeal of a few. I don't find myself using purples for much except events

    I’ve leveled a few twice, a few Daxes like mirror and princess jadzia as well as Robin Hood Picard, mistaken troi, and combat medic Paris.

    Not sure if it was a typo or intentional but I will forever call her mistaken Troi from now on 😂😂

    You can probably thank apple autocorrect for that one, I swear that thing creates more typos than it fixes sometimes.

    Other than the new Changeling Martok, which I just received moments ago from the event, I have no crew left to level (though still have 8 at level 100 that need equipment) so I have no choice but to work on duplicates if I want to complete dailies.

    When doing so, I choose crew that don't have a lot of variants but might appear in events (like Lwaxana, Q, Rom, Dukat, Garak, Discovery crew, etc. I'm not going to do Kirk, Picard, Jadzia, Worf, etc. because I have enough of them for events anyway.

    I’ve only ever done it twice, for Captain Janeway (who was really good once upon a time for 4* COM) and Mirror Uhura. I airlocked an FF but not FE Janeway and froze another Janeway and a Uhura for crew slot reasons, then froze the remaining Janeway and Uhura when they became victims of power creep. These days, I have crew slots to spare but just don’t feel like going through the grind of obtaining a second FF copy of anyone, even heavy hitters like Robin Hood, Shras, Victorian Pulaski, Princess Jadzia, or Mintakan Troi. My ever-growing roster of 1/5* FE crew can fill holes nearly as well and aren’t as expensive to obtain.

  • You can always just do a free 10x portal pull. Level the 2* to 10 using 1* trainers and equip one item and then airlock him every day.

    That's what I've been doing for a while. Leveled all my current crew and fully equipped. I have some double 5* that I work on occasionally but not serious.

    As for the OP question, I haven't done any second 4*, but that's not a bad thing for me to think about, especially for popular event crew. I might have to consider that as I'm out of other crew.

    I did that at first but then thought it would be nice to have enough bonus crew to fill 4 shuttles even on weeks with no big name (many variant) crew included. For example, this week with Sato, Keiko and K’Ehleyr. If Mirror crew weren't included as bonus crew, you couldn't even come close to filling seats on 4 shuttles with useful* bonus crew. I will likely try to work on another K’Ehleyr and an extra event Keiko
    I've already immortalized all 1-4* crew in the game except for 2 of the more recent 4* crew that aren't yet in the premium portal (Marshal of France Q (2/4) and Anij (1/4) - Both FE just not FF)
    *1-3 star crew aren't useful for faction events for me

  • None that I can think of. Whenever my crew gets full I start freezing all 4* cards.

    PM for details.

    So long and thanks for all the fish.
  • Side question, when you have two FF/FE character, releasing the copy grants you honor or you can't airlock them?

    Once they are ff/fe, you can’t get honor, just freeze multiple copies.

    I have over 300 crew immortalized and have never thought very seriously of 4* duplicates. I’ve always airlocked them, even when awarded a few outright via ranked rewards. As others have mentioned, there are a handful of OP’d main cast cards that could be justifiable, but that’s a project reserved for players so advanced it probably wouldn’t help much on a day to day basis—most likely because they have enough legendary cards to go around. It could provide a razor advantage in some shuttle events...but for most that isn’t enough return on such a large investment.

  • I have two duplicate 4* FF/FE - Tuskeegee Mayweather and RAF Bashir. I was buying event packs for Aviator Yar and got enough to do two copies of them so I kept them as I needed good Eng and Med back in the day. They have both since been retired in the past few months, but served me well for nearly a year so I feel I got good use out of them.
    We are recruiting for our sister fleet, Mirror Klingon Marauders! Contact me via private message if interested
  • Everyone's basically had enough copies of Dominion Dukat to freeze three copies of him by now, right?
  • 1701 Dax definitely. I’ve also done Combat Medic Paris and Young Khan.

    I've done a few but will probably be picky about it and only do those which drop from an event so you arent waiting around to get them FF-ed. I look at 2 things.
    1) Are they a main storyline character (so when a faction event comes up, you have a higher chance of getting the 2x bonus)
    2) Are their top 2 stat bonus >1000

    From my list, i have the following
    1) Robin Hood
    2) Mintakan Troi
    3) Mirror Dax
    4) Graduate Burnham
    5) Klingon Torres
    6) Ba'ku Worf
    7) Armed Georgiou
    8) Prospero Data
    9) Princess Jadzia
    10) Tsunkatse Seven

    Im sure there are more but I would duplicate anyone of these on my list

    That's a great list! I've done these, as you can see they're mostly from recent events. I don't have enough Picard which explains the two weak cards, Katra and Phlox and Paris are great Med cards which I hope will give me an edge in any event that has them, and the others just because I was bored really. I like Garak, First is strong and cool, was going to do Dukat but I couldn't be bothered this weekend. I did Riker because literally I only had one Riker. Now I have two.

    Done
    Combat Medic Paris
    Detective Dixon Hill
    Katra McCoy
    Augment Riker
    First Goran'Agar
    Mirror Garak

    In progress
    Mirror Phlox 3/4 lvl 60
    Tommy Gun Dixon 3/4 FE

    From that list Burnham, Torres, Georgiou and maybe Seven are the ones I would do. I have enough variations of the others for events. Though for someone who doesn't have a lot of crew slots, any of them are good because they can be pulled out as needed for events

    There are very few 4* crew that I would consider for duplication even if I wanted to spare the crew slots.
    1 - Mirror Phlox. Still unique within the game.
    2 - Sarina Douglas. Nearly unique within the game.
    3 - Nurse Faith, Alan-A-Dale, Mintaken Troi, Combat Paris, Tourist Quark, all make semi-regular Voyage appearances for me. Probably a few others I can't think of at the moment. Robin Hood is not one of them. He has really good stats for a 4* but I have multiple 1-5/5*'s that are better. Even if he's great for you now, he eventually won't be.

  • I duplicated Commander Keras... because I could, and I was really hurting for CMD primaries at the time (a bit surprising, now that I look back at it). It was a bit of a waste, as they are both in the freezer now...

    ...partly because I also duplicated Tieran Kes shortly after that. This one I don’t regret at all. I use her all the time, and The Twins often team up to head the Medical division on my voyages.
