Night Trooper drop rate
Hi
Has anyone else noticed a massive fall off on night trooper shards. I am now on day 3, a refresh every day so 600 tokens, 250 crystals and 0 shards, put some enjoyment back in your game CG.

There is no drop off in the rate. With tens of thousands of people playing this game on a daily basis, some people are going to experience truly exceptional drop rates -- good and bad. While the chance for a shard on any attempt stays steady at 30-33%, with true randomness nothing guarantees that you can't have fruitless attempt after fruitless attempt. I'm not sure how many attempts you've made, but for 20 attempts, the chance of zero successes is 8 in 10,000. There are hundreds of thousands of active players and at least 10s of thousands of daily active players. It's frustrating, but on this occasion you're one of the 8 in every 10k that is getting the short end of the stick.
The good news is that just as there is no memory of past results guaranteeing a limit to your failures, there's also no limit to your successes. At some point you'll go 5/5 or 10/10 on this toon or another, and CG won't demand you pay them extra crystals b/c you got more shards than average.
It can be frustrating, but this is the nature of an RNG-dependent game.
I have been farming without refreshes and am getting 2 shard per day on average, you have to find the sweet spot when the shard are dropping and that's when you spend the crystals, sounds like you need to work on your farming strategy.
Do you think the success of the first 5 matter in the RNG of battles after a refresh? Before advising others, maybe figure out RNG applies per battle. There is no sweet spot when ‘the shards are dropping’. The 33% shard rate per battle all rolled independently. I spend crystals to increase the total number of rolls. I would normally spend 25 to get 10 attempts on toons I am chasing. But there is always the chance to roll 1 or 0 for each individual battle, we know it’s weighted towards 0, so I expect 0-10 shards but know 0 is more likely per battle. If it’s 0 that’s bad RNG on all 10 battles and sucks, if it’s 5+ I am very happy. I have regularly rolled 0 then 4. I have also rolled 0 then 0. The previous 5 battles do not determine the next 5.
there are, one of my guild members has talked a lot about farming methods, this is one of them.
I don't think so. I did the 25 and 50 refreshes and even though some dry days with starting from 45/65 due to 3 marquee buys and free shards it took me about 90 days.
Same speed seems to apply to the other 2 new trooper toons.
