Anyone who thinks that the Lord of Hunger packs will be any different in the cost per shard than the Krennic/Death Trooper pact is deluding themselves.

Well they probably didnt make any money of the citadel pack. Also this is three seperate packs rather than just one

What makes you think this? Have you seen any data?

A guy on Reddit did a post of the sales after a week. https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/5scia0/citadel_pack_by_the_numbers/

I see a bunch of useless data. There are a lot of problems with it, the largest being that there is no control. Nothing to compare it to.

I fully expect that these packs will be half the cost of the previous packs, since there is only 1 character each and not two. The value will probably be the same.

You can compare it to the number of p2p characters in the meta report. Far more people have chirrut and baze.

But you can also look at people's response on the forums (which has a higher proportion of high spenders). Even people who have spent thousands of dollars on the game were boycotting the packs and encouraging others to do the same because of the ridiculous lack of value.

CG/EA want to make money, and to do that, they have to find the sweet spot in pricing packs that makes them cheap enough to be enticing to players, but not too expensive so that people are turned off by the pricetag. With the Citadel pack, they went too far. Sure, they wouldnt have to sell as many to make the same profit as a cheaper pack, but its not a perfect proportion. There reaches a point where everyone will stop paying for a pack because the value is simply not enough.

These next packs will definitely be expensive. 5-30 shards is a joke, regardless of the price. But if they cost 1000 crystals each, they will be a failure. Some people will likely buy one or two so they can promote their toons, but nobody is getting sith trooper and assassin to 7* at that price.

I don't think they really care how many people buy these packs. They've said that their new model is to release them via these events with the packs coming out after the event is over. Then a few weeks later they go to chromium. If they wanted a lot of people to farm these characters right off the bat, then they would have just released them straight to chromium.

Ultimately, I think this helps them to get people to buy more chromiums down the road. If you tell people that these toons are so valuable that only Whaley McMegalodon can 7* them right off the bat, then you get Whaley McWhaleface that much more excited for them when they go to chromium packs

AI prioritizes Dark Shroud, at least when she has no buffs already. I can see what she prioritizes if she has a buff already. But yeah, put her under a Zaul lead with the starting 20% TM she can make all the sith go first and destroy other teams.

From my understanding of zaul, it's a +25% speed, you don't need her to make all sith go first.

If I use her in that team I would have her go "last" or close to it to give them a push on a second round of attacks.

Maul gives bonus turn meter, not speed. And since zaul is quickly becoming the meta, you need the extra turn meter bump so your team goes before the opponent's sith

Yes but the calculation of what 20% tm is works out to +25% speed in the first round. I guess that's true, but we will see.

Nihilus is extremely slow relative to a lot of other characters in game though, so in order to push Nihilus to the start before a well modded Boba or an enemy EP you're going to want SA to bump TM. If you give her enough of your speed mods from the start you could get it so that you're not "wasting" any/too much TM from her skill in that your characters will still have the whole 24/36% extra boost on your opponents. (If it's a Zaul lead she'll give 36% TM, other leads that don't start with buffs will give 24%).

That's true, it's a hard balance but I guess you will save speed mods on the rest since they won't need as much speed to all get to 100%.

Don't want to waste the speed.

I would just worry about doing this because they are in a similar situation to droids but they really only have that first round for this advantage, they don't make any more tm other then SA, that is the only reason I would try to save her tm for a second push.

Again all dependent on shard and opponents.

That depends on how good your mods are. Someone who can't add 100 speed to all their sith may need her to go first.

I'm still gonna go for nihilus lead especially with sith assasin being bugged like teebo which haven't been fixed.

Nihilus lead even tho not as beneficial as zmaul with assasin seems like the survieability with health steal will be a pain for teams.

Especially with a sith trooper that is full offense with nihilus boost and offense set giving him 70% offense with health steal on defense up retribution.
