How do you spend fears?

I keep asking for easier ways to determine which phobies to spend fears on. I realised I may be just spending them differently to others, and that is why it frustrates me there is no level sort.

I collect fears from playing, Jacks, and events. I always have loads of phobies of various keys, rarity, and level waiting for upgrade.

My average phobie level is 10, and my highest is 14. Also, I tend to ignore phobies that i don’t play, e.g. those waiting for their friends.

So, I tend to collect a bunch of fears 10k-30k then spend them. I find the highest level upgrade I can afford, starting with the highest keys, and working down. Then, as I’m spending, I’ll put any change on the next level i can afford.

E.g. if Barzilla is level 10, and Yeti is on level 5 and i have 20k, I’d upgrade Barzilla, but if i only had 15k, I’d upgrade neither because I’d have a level 7 somewhere else, and upgrade that. This is not a hard rule, sometimes i break it because i just like a phobies power and want it to be more competitive.

I use this approach because it means i have a mostly even set of phobies, I keep progressing through the cards, and 1 to 5 upgrades are cheap. I’m finding it hard to get any above level 14 as that requires 30k+, but that happens occasionally with events.

The effect of my fears approach is i really want the phobies list to be ordered by level. However, there are other ways to spend them. One obvious way would be to just save till you have the amount you need for a specific phobie upgrade.

How do you spend yours?

that you don’t upgrade these Frienddudes is already a good thing.
i also think that you don’t have to upgrade all the anti electric dudes.
look which tanky units u like to use and focus on them.
Also some Common/Uncommon are a bit underwhelming like tempessst /compared to ray chargels or slammer head/most guys have fetch or finnigan for this.
most 1 key phobies (at least for me) are mostly for capturing points. so you could focus on the ones you most like to fight with. i love numbskull, for me the most powerful 1 key.

other than that you have to look which phobies you have and how you can combine them in tactics.

Also i have to say that 5 keys and up you might not use any of them. i mostly focus on my 1 to 4 because the higher ones are not convince me mostly to play them.

Most guys here will have got the one or other event VIP pass and swim in fear though
