Phoenix packs worth it?

The $100 pack is not worth it considering 5/6 of the toons are ftp farms. It would only be worth it if you are that close to getting 7* for the event and you really want thrawn 7*. Id probably go with the individual Phoenix packs but those are more like pulling a slot machine, likely be disappointed l.

But what does a 7* thrawn really get you? Possibly better damage in raids is all. A 5-6* should still be usable for arena.

Yeah, I guess there's no real reason to have him 7 star right away, but I battle for high 30s on my launch Shard. Wasn't sure if a maxed Thrawn would help me get into the top 20 or not. He seems like he would disrupt this Chaze nonsense.

@Roken_Fett I'd love to tell you, "NOOOOOOOOO! HECK NOOOO! AND TWICE ON TUESDAY!" But that would violate the forum's ToS, I can't tell you that. What I can say is that, hypothetically speaking of course, if had $100 to spend on a pack, I'd rather buy a vault of crystals. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Yeah, that's why I have 20k crystals. I bought it on May 4 when you got that 25% bonus.

So you're saying just sink crystals into the Faction pack? Or just go with 5 star and wait until he comes around again?

Not to me; it's $100. I wouldn't pay that for a 7 star toon, gear to get toe gear VIII and a but load of ability mats. I'll put some money into the game...but no way will I drop $100 on one pack. And let's be honest; most people want to level them up just to get Thrawn in the first go. Why? He's not that impressive, to be honest, and he'll come around again.

Yeah, that was sorta what I was asking, too. Is it worth it to get Thrawn at 7 star.

But you don't think he's worth the effort/money. I'm on the fence.

I've been considering buying the pack as well to boost my Phoenix Squad but I have been waiting to see how well RNG goes for me, it hasnt been good I'll say that.

Here is roughly how I figure the value using the Shipments as the baseline cost:

Shipments for PS- 640 crystals for 8 shards = 80 crystals per shard
PS Random shard packs taking the most likely outcome of 10 shards- 699/10 - 70 crystals per shard at the worst
100 Pack is 15710 crystals - 15710/330 = 48 crystals per shard.

Like anything in this game money speeds the farms up and the cost is all relative to all of us. I personally would rather buy a vault because I dont want to gear up or use PS. But I am tempted to anyway and buy the pack to get Thrawn. But like someone said to level up all of PS to 85 its 35 million credits and the gear after G7 is tough for Ezra and Sabine it is hard for me to justify wasting gear and credits on them I am more include to spend 100 then waste in game resources.

I never buy packs and how you spend your money is always up to you.

Either way I wouldn't spend it until thrawn's skill and kit requirements are published first so you can at least then make an informed decision.

I'm on the same boat, all doubt about that pack. Gears are more important than stars, so having a phoenix toon at 7*, but at g7 is enough for Thrawn 7*? Otherwise, better invest on gears with that money and have them 5* but g9 for example.

Wish for some idea on the current phoenix event, if u beat the last tier and all your squad survive, that means u will be able to reach Thrawn 4* maybe 5*?

As said Thrawn doesn't seem to be a big meta changer, so get to think if u really need him at 7*.

Good breakdown. I'll take this into consideration.
