So far, the only thing I've purchased has been the $50 hyperdrive bundle. But I really like Cal Kestis and would love to unlock the hero's journey of him at the first release. What is the best way to spend crystals to 7-star a newly released marquee character?

This will be a heroes journey, so be always available once released. It's not a legendary, like GI, which waits a year to go to the journey guide, and pops back when cg feels like it between initial release and journey guide permanancy.

No massive rush. Unless you are meaning day 1. Then yes, about US$300 per marquee to go straight to 7* is the last I heard.

Actually not sure we can say that with any certainty. Hero's Journey characters have historically had the same cadence as Legendary events. Not sure how BAM was phrased, but SK and Aphra are Legacy events, which are a little different.

Edit: Actually, I found it. They specifically called it out and said BAM was different when he was announced, so I think we should be prepared for Cal to follow the old cadence.

Unlike other Hero’s Journeys, this special event will immediately be available in the Journey Guide forever.
