My brother is level 37, has been playing for about two weeks and has opened maybe ten chromium packs (he's f2p), and has still not got a single character other than the generic ones everyone starts with (JC, Chewie, Talia, etc). Nor has he got any from the Bronzium packs (by the time I was his level I had got Mace Windu and Ima-Gun Di from the Bronziums, but I might have just been extremely lucky). Is everyone having the same issue with getting just shards from Chromium packs? Or can you give any advice as to what he can do to quickly get a new character? Cause he's quickly losing excitement with the game using the generic characters, he really wants a unique team!

Im lvl 57 and never pulled a viable or noteable toon from bronzium. It is what it is. Its just the RNG.

The 8x pack will take ages for him to save for... is there any other quick option so that he doesn't give up? Cause I know it's fun when you get the characters you want and you can start moving up the leaderboard

I've bought 3 chromium packs. Got a character each time. Today I bought a 4x one and got a 4 star Kylo Ren. Pretty cool.

Here's the thing. Don't buy anything but a x8. Be prepared to end up with a 2* starting character as your only full character. People can come here and tell you I bought 2 or 3 packs and ended up with a couple great characters. That's irrelevant because you may, or may not get lucky too. Most likely you won't. As far as bronze packs go, you got extremely lucky. Many players here have never received anything. Just keep opening them and a good character might pop. Tell your bro to just keep playing if he likes the game enough and not be upset about bad luck with packs. There are two types of people that get good pulls from packs. People who spend tons of cash and people who are very lucky. It's RNG, and it is what it is.

Okay thanks everyone :) his ally code is 259-426-165, please add him and help him get through the campaign at least until he can get a good character!

Realistically even spending tons of $ dont mean you'll get anything worthwhile tbh. I have done awesome in arena etc and have hoarded tons of crystals (bought some too) and have now opened 3x chromium 8 paks, 2x chromium 4 paks, a few singles and more bronze then i can count.

Bronze = not a single thing of note yet
Singles = kylo ren
4x paks = nothing of note
8x paks = maul, windu, boba, bariss (sounds good but note that bariss an maul cant really be farmed so they are dead ends)

Over all kylo was a beast pull and boba is decent (and farmable) but thats really terrible RNG luck overall. Some are lucky'r then others. I enjoy the game and enjoy playing so it dont matter what drops for me. I farm everything i really want anyway and that more satisfying cause I worked for it w/no luck involved.

If you REALLY want characters from chromium, save for 8x pack. As far as I know, it guarantees at least 1 full character.

But does it guarantee you a character you don't already have? Thats my question.

I noticed the Geonosian Soldier is farmable on cantina battle A for him, and that only needs 10 shards to unlock. I suggested he go for that, just to get another character for his dark side team (he still only has four; Talia, FO stormtrooper, Royal guard and I can't remember the last one). Would the GS be good in the long run or just one to tie him over until he gets a better hero?

No, of course not. The only guaranteed character drops are the special bundle paks containing characters (i.e. Dooku, bariss, kylo, etc)

Its RNG based so you will simply get what u get.
