Farming Leia the hard way

So with Leia appearing regularly in shipments at a premium cost of 320 crystals for 4 shards (that's 80 crystals per shard compared to 50 for "normal" toons), is anyone actually farming her this way?

I managed to get Leia in a chromium drop a while back but she unlocks at a lowly 2*. Doing some back of the napkin math here, it'll take 25+50+65+85+100=325 shards to get her to 7* which equates to 325x80=26,000 crystals. Yikes.

Let's pretend that I go monk and abstain from spending any crystals and I manage to gain on average 200 crystals per day. That still takes 130 days, or about 4.3 months, just to collect enough crystals to get Leia up to 7*. That doesn't take into account that her shipment doesn't appear daily so actually getting the shards will take even longer.

Meanwhile, that whole time, I'm not refreshing any energies or pvp's which slows down the progress of the rest of my roster.

So who's actually going down this crazy F2P path of farming Leia?

  • I'm f2p ang I'm farming sun fac this way. Currently 4* now. Looks like I would have him 7* by august lol. Using only crytals from prizes I get at rank 1-3 daily. Its a hard grind but I did the same with Rey before on 2 hard nodes refresh daily (2 because wasn't able to 3* the third node lol) from arena prize too. Now Rey is valuable.

    Small correction. The upgrade to 4 stars is 30 not 50.

    It's 330 total shards for a character.

    10 + 15 + 25 + *30* + 65 + 85 + 100 = 330

    of which you have the first 25 done by unlocking the full character.

    25 + 30 + 65 + 85 + 100 = 305



    From 0, it would be 330 shards. 330/4 = 82.5 days with 26,400 crystals. If you win atleast 3rd on arena that would be 26,400 / 400 = 66 days of daily 3rd arena prize. so roughly 66 to 83 days on grind. 66 if you save all crystals or 83 if you do it like me and just buy 1 at a time. The randomness of it showing in shipments does not really matter much since some days you'll see them twice.
  • People farming for Leia are gonna be sorely disappointed. She's absolutely nothing compared to Rey.
    To get 20k dmg in a turn with Leia you have to first sacrifice your first turn to gain invis and hope you get her dmg buff. Then you attack and have to hope you get her second attack to fire. Then her third. Then you have to hope that all of them were crits. And that none of them missed.
    And how do you get 20k with Rey? Push a button.
