Buying an account modification is not complicated. What makes it go wrong is almost never the payment step — it is the two minutes before it, where someone guesses at what their account actually needs instead of checking, and ends up paying for the thing that was not the bottleneck.
This walks through the whole process in the order you will actually meet it, including the parts most pages skip: what to work out before you open the shop, what we ask for and why, and what happens when an order does not go to plan.
Step 0: work out what your account is actually short of
This is the step people skip, and it is the one that decides whether you are happy in a week.
Injustice: Gods Among Us Mobile has three separate currencies and they do not substitute for each other. Before you buy anything, open the game and look at which of these describes you:
- Your roster is broad but everything is under-levelled. You have characters you never field because levelling them costs more than you earn. Your bottleneck is Power Credits.
- You are not short of credits, you are short of anything worth levelling. Chests are the only way forward and you cannot open enough of them. Your bottleneck is Nth Metal.
- Your characters are fine and they still lose. The gap is gear. Your bottleneck is gear shards or upgrade shards, not currency at all.
- You are missing one specific slot that makes a team work. That is a character service, not a resource one.
Getting this wrong is the single most common reason someone comes back disappointed. Buying Nth Metal when your real problem is that forty characters sit at level 10 will not fix the account — it will give you more characters sitting at level 10.
If you are not sure which of the four you are, how the Injustice economy works explains how the three currencies feed into each other, and Injustice account progression phases maps what usually bottlenecks at each stage of an account's life.
Step 1: choose the listing, not the biggest number
The Injustice shop splits three ways, and each category answers a different one of the problems above.
| Category | What it covers | Buy it when |
|---|---|---|
| Currency | Nth Metal, Power Credits, Alliance Coins | Levelling or chest pulls are the wall |
| Characters | Gold and Metal tier services, bundles, full teams | A specific slot or a whole lineup is the wall |
| Gear | Gear shards and upgrade shards | Your characters are fine and still losing |
Every listing states its exact quantity and its price on the card. Read the quantity rather than the headline — two listings that look similar can differ substantially in what actually lands on the account.
One genuine piece of advice against our own interest: if you are choosing between a large single purchase and a smaller one, start smaller. You learn how the process works, you confirm the delivery lands the way you expected, and you find out whether the thing you bought was actually the bottleneck. That information is worth more than the difference in quantity.
Step 2: checkout, and the one field you cannot skip
At checkout you will be asked for a Discord ID or a Telegram username, and it is worth understanding why that field is mandatory rather than optional. Nobody here is building a mailing list. A human being picks the order up and works through it by hand, which means an order carrying no route back to you is simply one that cannot be finished.
Get this right, because it is where orders stall:
- Give the username or ID, not a display name. Display names change and are not unique.
- Check for typos before submitting. A single wrong character means we are messaging someone who is not you.
- Make sure your privacy settings actually allow a message from someone not on your friends list. On both platforms the defaults sometimes do not.
If you realise afterwards that you gave the wrong handle, message us on Discord or Telegram with your order details. It is fixable, it just costs time.
Step 3: what we ask for, and what we never ask for
Requirements vary by order type. Currency work and character work do not need the same level of access, so ask what is needed for your order rather than assuming.
What may legitimately be needed:
- Your WBID (Warner Bros. ID), the account system Injustice uses to sync progress across devices. Your roster and resources live on Warner's servers behind this account, which is why the work applies regardless of whether you play on Android or iOS. The WBID account guide explains the system in full.
- In some cases, login access for the duration of the work.
- Confirmation that you are logged out of the game while the work is being done. Only one session can be active at a time, and a second session causes conflicts.
What should never be asked for, by us or anyone:
- Payment card details, PayPal passwords, or banking information.
- Passwords to unrelated accounts — your email, your Google or Apple account, your socials.
- Identity documents, selfies, or proof of address.
If you are giving login access, use a temporary password and change it once the work is finished. Make sure your WBID password is unique and not shared with any other service. A seller who cannot explain plainly what access they need and why is telling you something useful about themselves.
Step 4: delivery, and what the timing really means
Currency orders usually land in about twenty minutes from confirmation. Character unlocks, promotions, bundles and full team builds take longer — each one is set up individually by hand, and quoting twenty minutes on work that genuinely takes longer would just be a lie with a short shelf life.
You are told when yours is one of the longer ones rather than left refreshing the game. The delivery guide goes into what drives the timing and what actually makes an order slow.
When the work is complete, fully close the game and reopen it. The changes are on the account, not on your device, so they appear when the client next pulls from Warner's servers.
Step 5: after it lands
Two habits worth forming, both of which cost nothing.
Change your WBID password once the work is complete, if you provided login access. Not because you expect a problem, but because closing an access window you no longer need is free.
Do not advertise it. The most avoidable version of a problem is the one where someone posts screenshots of an overnight transformation in a public alliance chat. Whatever your view on the risk of modding, broadcasting it does not reduce it.
Then actually spend what you bought. A surprising number of accounts sit on delivered currency for weeks because the player is waiting for a perfect moment that never arrives. The daily routine guide is a reasonable template for turning resources into roster progress rather than hoarding them.
When something goes wrong
Most problems fall into three buckets, and all three are more fixable than they feel at the time.
Nothing has appeared and the estimate has passed. Fully close and reopen the game first — a stale client accounts for a good share of these. If it is genuinely not there, message us with your order number.
Something landed, but not what you expected. Usually a listing that was read past rather than a delivery error. Send the order number and what you expected; we would rather sort it than argue about it.
You cannot log in after the work. Rare, and usually a session conflict rather than anything lost. Lost progress and crashes covers the recovery steps.
For anything money-related, the refund policy sets out where we stand, and the FAQ covers the questions that come up most often before a first order.
The honest summary
Work out your bottleneck. Buy the thing that fixes it, starting smaller than you think you need. Give a contact handle that works. Ask what access is required rather than assuming. Stay logged out while the work happens, change your password after, and keep it to yourself.
None of that is complicated, and none of it removes the underlying risk of modifying a live-service game — no service can honestly promise that, and one that does is worth walking away from. What it does remove is the avoidable half of the problem, which for most orders is the whole of it.
If you are still deciding between paying and playing it out, Injustice mods versus grinding does the time arithmetic properly. If you have already decided, the shop is the next stop.
