Purchasing Rex & Other Chromium Exclusive

Rex has seemingly become a more important character as of late. With the raids his Clone Synergy is strong and his tenacity to help against debuffs in Phase 1 of the Rancor is invaluable. Unfortunately this character is very difficult to get & farm and you need at least a 6-star version of him to be viable. I originally started plugging in the feedback section to make all of the Chromium Only characters more accessible for purchase rather than random pulls. On one-hand having these characters will expand the variety of Arena squads we see, as well as be quite helpful in Rancor raids. I imagine there are players that have the means to make certain purchases but are unwilling to buy Megapacks because let's be honest, how many IG86 and Ewok Scout shards does one need; it's just too random of a purchase so the perceived value is low and EA / CG is leaving money on the table. There is benefit to the players and to EA / CG in doing improving Chromium Exclusive character accessibility.

I've been trying to propose to @CG_JohnSalera and @EA_Jesse to find a way to make these characters more accessible through purchase. Be it having an Aurodium pack for each Chromium Exclusive Character available on a much more frequent and rotating basis (every other day?) or just straight-up buy shards somehow.

If you feel similarly about needing Rex and other characters more accessible for purchase please post something in support of that. Of course everybody has a right to their opinion, keeping this positive and on-point would be appreciated. Maybe we can get EA / CG to consider the thought and provide us with some feedback as well.

  • Bump. Swear, asking EA to let us BUY something from them is a lot like asking my wife for sex...

  • Rex has a terrible chrome drop rate. I got 235 sun fac shards and about 80 rex shards. Rex as a 4 star char does not drop as often as 2 and 3 star chrome exclusive.

    I know it's ridiculous how hard it is to get Rex.
