Please use this thread to discuss the boss!

Hey Summoners! Since Collectives is a very new and game changing addition to the Contest, we thought it would be good to get a thread with some information and frequently asked questions in it. Please use this thread instead of making individual posts so we can keep the discussion organized!

There are a lot of crystals in the Collectives rewards so as a reminder, please put any rank up related discussion about those in the pinned Rule 1 thread.

Some official information, including all of the specific Class bonuses can be found on the MCOC Website: "Introducing Collectives"

FAQ

I don't see Collectives, where are they?

Make sure you have updated your game! They won't be visible unless you're on the latest patch. After you have done this, you can find the tab on the Roster section of your game, to the right of Relics

What are Collectives?

Collectives are a new mechanic that reward general roster growth with both reward-rewards (crystals, titles, etc) and Champion Bonuses (increased stats, etc). Your highest rarity version of a Champion is called a Captain, and your Captains contribute points depending on their rank, sig level and Ascension (the last two are exclusive to 7-Stars).

As you gain points, you will increase each Collective's level.

Should I rank up my lower rarity Champions?

For Collectives, ranking these up will only have an impact if that lower rarity is the highest you have. For example, there are a lot of Champions that are still 6-Star locked. You can get points for these up through Rank 4 (Rank 5 will not give additional points).

If the highest version you have of someone is a 2-Star, that is also a Captain.

Do the bonuses for Champions from Collectives work in all content?

They will be, but this is releasing in waves. Immediately, you can see them working in things like Story and Arena. They will be coming to AQ after this current week ends, and War and Battlegrounds after their respective seasons end.

Where do I see the rewards from each rank?

Tap on a Collective. On the right side, tap the (i) at the top, this will list both the Champ Bonus and Rewards for each level.

I ranked up my Collectives before the Solo Objectives appeared, will I get my rewards?

A fix for this will be going out to impacted Summoners, you will get your crystals. They haven't been able to comment on an exact timeframe but have said this is something they are trying to get out as soon as possible.

Are the Solo Objectives for ranking Collectives permanent?

No, these ones are temporary (the in-collective milestones are permanent), please keep an eye on the timer if you're trying to complete them. You have a little less than a month at the time of posting this.

I have 90 total Collective Levels but the Solo Objective says 84, why?

You are rewarded points per Collective leveling action performed, not the total levels themselves. Collectives all start at Level 1, it is the additional levels after this that count towards the Solo Objectives.

I opened 10 Empowered Crystals, but received less than 10 Champions, what gives?

Empowered Crystals can drop 7 & 6-Star Champions, but can also drop plain 7-Star shards instead.

What are Temporal Collectives? There's an option to sort by them, but not see them.

There aren't any Temporal Collectives currently active, but these will be coming later. They will also be temporary. Only certain Champions will be in them, and the benefits will be more targeted to them than the broader permanent ones. They are "meant to be interacted with at a high level in a short amount of time."
