No matter the character’s rarity, when you first pull one inDisney Pixel RPG, they all start at level one and need upgrading or experience to grow stronger. Kind of like in life, huh? Well, gaining the experience to level up naturally can take a while and you can quickly run low on upgrade pixels, which are the means of accelerating the process.
As you play Disney Pixl RPG, there are a few ways to really rack up those pixels, making it so that you’re able to upgrade whoever you want, whenever you please. This guide will cover what those ways are.
What Are Upgrade Pixels?
Upgrade pixels is an item that takes on the form of a cute, little bottle filled with colorful data. Their use in the game isnot only for upgrading your charactersbut alsoused for crafting.
The ways you obtain these pixels are numerous. Some examples are:
Bothleveling up your characters and craftingare very important to Disney Pixel RPG, which means that you areconstantly pulling from this singular resource. And while there are quite a few ways to replenish your supply, they either take time, money, or you’ve completed some of these methods and aren’t guaranteed any new pixels from them again.
So, exactly how are you supposed to amass upgrade pixels?
Replay Story Stages
Best For New Players
Whether you’ve completed all of the chapters or only a couple, you can go back and replay any story mission you’d like. Youwon’t get a lot of upgrade pixelsby replaying chapter stages, butit’s a starting point.
Find a chapteryour partybeats without fail. The example used here is the hard version of Chapter 3, Stage 2. Next to the start button isthe auto-battle feature. Every time your energy meter is full, throw that puppy on auto and watch your charactersbeat that same stageas many times as your energy level allows.
This isn’t the best wayto nab the most upgrade pixels, but it’s a way to get you started on stages you know you’re already capable of beating. This tipworks best when you are just starting outand are struggling to break past a certain stage or boss.
Replaying Bonus Stages 1-1 And 3-1
Stage 1-1 For Beginners, Stage 3-1 As Your Progress
Giving you much more than the story stages are the bonus stages.When youfirst start playing the gameand you want to start upgrading your characters before taking on more story stages,replay Bonus 1-1. You’ll getaround 60 upgrade pixels every timeyou play this bonus stage.
Rewards, especially for the bonus stages,aren’t a singular consistent number. Any numbers provided are based on personal experience withinthe range that stage provides.
Once you’ve gotten some higher-level characters andhave unlocked Bonus 3-1, you’ll get closerto 150 upgrade pixels for each attempt.
No matter your progress, you canreplay these as many times as your energy allows, racking up hundreds of upgrade pixels without even really needing to look at your phone thanks to the auto-battle feature. And to maximize your number of upgrade pixels, run through these stagesevery time your energy is full again.
Expeditions
As you continue to play through the story, you will ultimatelyunlock the expeditions. Unlike the story or bonus stages, these are not active rounds of combat you either play through or have on auto-battle. They instead have you send out characters ona quest to gather resources in the background.
Both the Princess Saga: Aurora and Zootopia: Infiltration Mission expeditionssupply you with upgrade pixels.
Curious about what rewards an expedition will provide? Click onthe little chest on the top rightof each one and it willbreak down the type of resourcesyour characters will find.
You can have characters questing forup to 20 hours at a single time. But you can recall them whenever you’d like and send them back out.Every ten minutes, your characters will have a shot atfinding items on that expedition.
The best thing to do is pretty simple, just be sure yourecall them before the 20 hours are upandimmediately send a team back out. If you want to be as efficient as possible, havingnotifications turned onwill alert you whenan expedition is over.
Or, you can check how muchtime is left before you know you won’t be looking at your phone(before going to sleep, before work or school starts, etc.) If you know you’ll be asleep for, hopefully, the next eight hours and your expeditions are almost over,recall your team and send them back out before catching those z’s. Then you’ll literally be farming pixels in your sleep.
Replaying Battle Challenge Levels
Whenever a Battle Challenge is happening in the game, you want toreplay the highest level you can complete on auto-battleas often as possible. Why? BC points and the Exchange Shop.
Now,you may’t use auto-battle the traditional waylike you can in the story and bonus stages where you decide how many times you want the game to play through the same stage.
However, you canhave auto-battle turned onand, once you’ve claimed victory, you canhit retry and keep this up as long as you want to. Racking up as many BC points as possible will let youbuy a multitude of excellent itemswhile the event is running. And that includes upgrade pixels.
There arethree tiers of purchasingfor upgrade pixels. The quantity you getremains the same, but thecost goes upas you deplete the stock of each tier.
Now, the Exchange Shop has a lot of goodies you can buy, many of the items beingharder to come by than upgrade pixels. But it’s always an option,especially if you’re struggling to beat the higher levelsof the challenge and need to level up your characters to keep climbing the ladder.
So, while of course, this is a great way to secure even more upgrade pixels, take a look at all the items in stock. Once you’vepurchased everything you deem to be a higher priority, then use any remaining BC points youearn or have left over on upgrade pixels.
Final Tips On Farming Upgrade Pixels
Looking over these options individually might make it look like you still won’t be getting a lot of upgrade pixels. However, when followingmore than one of these steps at a time, the numbers will start to add up.
The biggest obstacle isyour in-game energy. Story and bonus stages both require energy. But expeditions don’t, and although there isn’t always a Battle Challenge active, when there is, youdon’t need to use energy to participate.
So a great way to keep earning more upgrade pixels is tostart both expeditions, use all your energy on bonus stage 3-1(if you have it unlocked) and, while you wait for your energy to refill,keep replaying the current Battle Challenge, if one is currently running.
Another way to stretch your upgrade pixels is to craft a team that works well together and focus ononly leveling that team up. Only using a single team of five characters for most of your battles will allow you tosave up your pixelsand focus onupgrading characters as needed. Or once you have a surplus of upgrade pixels, of course.
