Shards drop rate

Why still after 10 yrs of playing the game does the drop rate drop to almost 0 when you get under 4 shards needed for 7th star? 20 attempts and got 1 shard...??? This is every time. I guess it so we spend crystals on refreshes that are just wasted away? Yet need 80 or more and you pick up usually 4 with attempts.  This is one of the reason, legacy players leave the game.

  • The drop rate for any given item is equal to the amount of energy spent * 100% * rarity. The rarer the item, the lower the drop rate. The 30% or 33% drop rate was mentioned because there was no reliable data for long periods.

    They'll never make the drop rate 100% because then everyone would be able to level up their characters in G13.

    Ive now done 35 attempts got 1 shards, that's no where near 33% or 30% drop rate. Seems pretty fishy, 

  • It’s completely psychological. You’re only noticing how many drops you lack when, in your eyes, it really matters. 

    Fret not, you’re not being deliberately screwed over.

    I guess it just does not like me, its every time for, get great drop rates till its the final 4.

  • There have been studies on this, and there’s no evidence of drop rates being altered. 

    When I finished Inquisitor Barris’s farm recently, I got 11/15 to take her from 90/100 to finished on the last day I farmed for shards.
