Okay, we already learn about the Kart, and how even the common one can beat the higher rarity if there is a level gap between them. 👌
Now, let's learn about the part which giving a massive speed stats, the engine.
Today I will discuss about the common engine first, because they are the most under rated and people usually skips the common things. But what If it also can beat the legendary ? 😏
Based on the moonkart stats spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D2pspkqvfs6pn1lzI9iOyyWcTftdfpKBSWhNXEjTOSE/edit?gid=445032180#gid=445032180 , common engine is having 57 speed at first level, and it will increased by 1 point for each upgrade and ended up at 66 speed point.
Now, let's compare to the higher tier of engine, can this common beat them ?
The rare engine is started at 56.1 speed. Wait, hold on, 56.1 ?? So it has lower speed than the common one !!! This should be wrong, isn't it ? But that's what is written on the spreadsheet, and I think the game are based on that data ! So, you can beat the rare engine even when they are both at level 1. But of course on max level, the common is lose because the rare can max out with 70.01 speed. The common can compete until the 5th level of rare cards that having 64.1 speed.
Against the epic engine, the common need to upgraded into 7th level for beat the 1st level epic engine, because it's already started at 62.6 speed points. The common can only compete with 2nd level of the epic engine that having 65.6 speed point
Last for legendary, we need the 9th level of common engine to beat the legendary engine that having 64.5 speed points, and the 1st level of legendary engine is what the common engine can capable to compete, above that ? common engine can't cope up anymore.
Let's see how much it cost on the market.
If we take a look at the official market on https://arcadecolony.com/mkmarket, the common engine is available at the cheapest price as low as $0.1. But I think it can be even lower if you reach out the discord and try to offer for a bulk buy. I'm sure people will be happy to give you some discount 😄
Or, you can try your luck with the centauri packs which can be buy on https://hive-engine.com/trade/CENTAURI , looks like the price is already dropped a little.
In the end, common engine is still able to compete against the other engine, as long as you level it up, and the other is using the lower level of engine with the details as i've describe. With the very low price, you can start calculating wether trying to have higher rarity engine or try to level up this one !
