Mod Shipments

I feel as if mod shipments are an insult. Is anyone **** enough to spend that much credit and crystals on lvl 1 1* mods? 680 crystals for a 3* lvl 1 mod? That's insane.

Tiny rant over.

Tiny rants are cute! Just like tiny Coke cans.

Just a little chum in the water trying to land some manatees and hopefully a whale. Just wait until tier 5 mods start appearing there a la raid gear in shipments.

Maybe if they put some 5 dot mods in there I would buy them. I don't want the 3 dot mods that drop from the challenges, why would I out right buy one? I am sure if they did put 5 dot mods in the shipments they would make the raid gear in the regular shipments look cheap. 3000 crystals for a 5 dot.

Some are actually well worth the price. Namely slot 2 with the Speed as main stat and slot 6 with Potency.

The RNG to get these is terrible and you're likely to spend hundreds and hundreds of energy before you get one. But I was able to buy one for 97 crystals (less than a single refresh) and another A quality one for 150k credits. Now my characters are a lot better for it and I can continue trying to hunt down a higher rank one of these in the mean time.

Yeah. I am **** enough.

21 speed 3* mod
680 crystals

All day long baby!

don't look farther than the source...

Stat difference between a 3* and 5* is fairly small. But the amount of energy and crystals you're going to use up on the refreshes to get the exact mod you want is going far exceed whatever price you would've paid outright in the shop.

This is the current RNG you have to go through to get a particular mod with a particular stat.

1) 16 energy for an attempt of less than 50%
2) If you do get one, you have a RNG between 3, 4, and 5* quality (no idea if lower quality has a higher chance or if they're all equal)
3) If you get the quality you want, you now have 1-6 different slots that need to come up in your favor (you might be gunning for slot 2 but have a way higher chance of getting one of the other 5 instead)
4) Once you get the slot you want (you're probably gunning for slot 2 or 6), you now have 11 different main stats you can get on slot 2 and 10 different stats on slot 6.

That's an insane amount of RNG to get what you actually need. There's a long thread where its calculated out and it's something like 0.0006% chance that you'll actually get the exact highest quality mod with the exact stat you want.

Just buy what you actually need and get your guys in working order. +17 speed on a 1* mod is going to serve you way better than +health on a 5* one (unless of course you actually want health).

What does a 1* slot 2 mod with +1 speed max out to?

+17. 5* one goes to +30. Lowest Potency maxes out at +15% (that's a huge boost to Teebo and friends).

The main speed mod offers by far the highest bonus to a stat of any other currently. At worst, +17 speed is a 10% bonus to the fastest character (Leis at 164) and nearly a 20% bonus to the slowest JKG at 85).

Both of these exceed that actual set bonus and offer far higher bonuses than any other singular stat. It's kinda nuts. Feels like they missed something here considering how important speed is to taking more actions or just outright going first and taking out an enemy before they can even act.

Except you still end up with a useless mod that needs to be replaced asap. I'll take a 5 dot mod with a less than desirable primary for a larger overall increase in my toons power. +17 speed isnt as impressive when I hit can 30% harder than a fast toon with weak 1 dot mods. At the end of the day we still both need to replace the mod but I the mean time my toon is way better.
