Chromium Mega-Pack Questions

Level 55 noob here.

I have bought the single Chromium card, Chromium Data-Pack, and the 2-3 shards from the shipments before.This would be my biggest crystals purchase. But the list of potential rewards is soooo long.

I only have enough for the one purchase of 2520 crystals.

-since it's random, is the Mega-Pack worth it?

-are there simply too many characters to risk that many crystals?

-should the devs make Mega-Pack A and B, with the current line-up split into 2, so that the odds of getting what you want is still decent enough?

-or should go back to spending the crystals on shards for specific characters?

-other than the 10% crystals savings, are there any other benefits in this versus the single or the 4-pack?

How many here have frequently bought the Mega-Pack because it's good?

If it helps, my roster looks like:

26 toons

5 Star = 1
4 Star = 9
3 Star = 3
1 or 2 Star = 13

Level 50-54 = 12
Level 45-49 = 2
Level 40-44 = 11
Level 39 or less = 1

Thanks.
  • In addition, my supplementary question would be: Are those limited time squad packs worth it?

    (reading the "Hit a Brick Wall" thread)
    Especially that Scoundrel Set.

    I can't enter it because I only have 1 toon. But buying 1 of those packs for 1199 crystals doesn't guarantee unlocking a character.

    Also, not too long ago I couldn't enter another event because I only had 1 Rebel toon at the time, but now I have 4 of 6 Phoenix Team, so I might be ok, but since they need to be higher levels to be effective, I'll need resources to level them up.

    You are heading for disaster. Nightsisters are ****, stop leveling them up. Buy the gears in shipment with credits every day. Get boba and landing from cantina first. Ig86 is good but focus on lumi first. U need healers for galactic war and she is one of the best. Windu will not help much later. Get st Han from arena. After getting a rebel and scoundrel team, get the siths, they will help in dark side and also serve as a good arena and war team. Also buy the sim tickets from the shipment as much as u can. Stop buying chromiums now. U are too high lvl for them. Also try and get to wedge's cantina node asap and farm him. Every rebel team needs wiggs. Farm gear everyday. Don't wasted any energy, it will haunt u later. Concentrate in the synergy between ur team mates. Ucaj also work on another team on the side but the r the essen

    Could you elaborate a little more regarding the Nightsisters?

    I do buy gear from shipments, some of them make great donation fodder in the Guild as well. I've bought shards a few time because it was too close to a promotion, and was too impatient to wait a day or 2.

    I have over 300 SIM tickets at the moment, I don't actively hardcore use them. Probably 80-90 a week.

    I do plan on getting every toon and ship eventually, unless I stop playing. There's so much to this game. I'm going to assume the devs are going to add more as year goes on.

    As for "Don't wasted any energy, it will haunt u later.", I am doing a lot of the Hard Battles, as well as slowly pushing forward in the Easy. Same with the Cantina it's slowly pushing forward as well.

    But if I don't get certain characters as some people above has suggested, does that mean I'll be useless?
    I thought the game is so diverse that you can take any route to get to the top?

    Also, does the devs stop going back to existing characters and adjusting them once they're widely available? (reading the thread about droids), this would mean that getting the newest characters is the only way to make a player successful, and getting original characters would making playing difficult?
  • Nightsisters are one of the weakest groups, stop gearing them up, your wasting valuable resources.
  • I disagree with everyone here. Chromiums aren't worth it end game. In the beginning it gives you access to toons of a calibre you couldn't get otherwise.

    I started in dec 2016, bought 1 pack. Got a wedge. That one character kept me in the top 10-20 for months until everyone else got him too. Now I don't use him anymore, but he more than earned back the crystals I spent to get him.
  • With your roster it's definitely worth the crystals, you'll prob pick up 3 to 5 new toons... only 1 is guaranteed but you usually get more... I don't see the downside, except then you need to level and gear the toons but that is what it is
  • If you get a pre-taunter, a good R1, or otherwise high end toon in the packs, it was worth it. Once you hit lv 70 or so, don't buy packs anymore, at that point you can unlock good chars on your own. Better to spend your crystals on refreshes at that point.

    Metroplex, have a look at the farming guides on youtube from Mobilegamer, AhnaldT101, Warrior from Team Instinct.
    Also check out LordSkunk.com guides and top ten lists.
    You'll need to farm the core groups a viable Jedi team, Then rebel team (possibly can be farmed at the same time), Empire/dark side team, droids (with JE and Nebit).
    Farming most other toons will be cosmetic, and may get u some cannon fodder for Galactic War, but will end with a fragmented bunch and you'll have to end up farming the core groups anywats to get Yoda, Palpatine, ships going to get zeta materials... and so on.
