I still have 33 characters to unlock at a remaining cost of 1644 shards. Your math only holds up for people who already have most of the characters open to them. I also have JC 5 starred so I could spend energy directly on JC and guarantee myself shards that can be exchanged. The big factor is what the ratio is going to be on the exchange and how many options we have to use them on. The preview points to a FUTURE new characters. So far it looks to all be rehash.
Actually, it works best for people who have fewer than 30 characters unlocked.
The post by EAJesse stated that you would only be able to spend extra shards from characters who are already 7*.
My argument is that if you spend crystal on chromium packs, you are going to get close to the same amount as spending ONLY on shards, and will get characters otherwise unobtainable.
If you have fewer than 30 characters, you can easily gain MORE than shard farming up until you have 50+ characters, by gaining new characters (A new character is worth 15-80 shards). At this point it would probably be more worthwhile to farm shards in order to gain as many 7* characters as possible, to exchange at the shop.
Irregardless of the exchange ratio, the only way low to mid spenders will have to effectively farm Chromium only is through that exchange. So if you are trying to effectively farm Chromium-only by spending as little as possible, saving to open several Chromium packs will be one of the most efficient ways to do so.
As I also stated, this is only exceptionally effective if you are a more serious player, and have already farmed several characters to 7* (Sid, Lumi, JC, Phasma, etc.) so you are not trying to get onto the playing field for PvP with only weak characters.
Players like myself who have most characters unlocked and high * will actually gain the most by farming specific shards, to bring as many characters as possible to 7*, and thus narrow the field of what characters need shards.
