So what is the estimated number of refreshes a day needed to 7* this ship? Three 100 crystal refreshes? Three 200 crystal refreshes? More?I’m sitting at 53/80 so it seems like a long ways off.

I had 1000 energy horded. The drop rate seems much less than the defender

Assuming the 3% is correct (certainly seems so), you'll get about 26 shards/day if you do the 50s and 100s, which is only 234 shards. If you add in the 200s you jump up to about 33 shards/day, which is 297 shards at the end, so if you had hoarded energy you should 7* that way.Also, a much easier way to figure that out: https://swgohevents.com/shard-drop-calculator

I didn't realize the chase was 9 days long. According to the calculator, with my energy bank and 1x 200 refresh per day, I can get it 7* !!!

I did my own math, with a 3% drop rate and 1100 preloaded energy, doing 7 refreshes for 7 days and 6 refreshes for 2 days gets me right to 330.

I wasn’t aware that previous ships had had different chase drop rates. Were there any in particular you can remember as having higher or lower ones. Just interested.I do know that I’m just looking at confirmation bias given my own drop rate so far has been close to 2.5%. Some people will end up with higher or lower than 3% (that’s just how stats work), it just sucks this time around to be tracking below the average personally. Maybe I’ll get luckier with the second new release that’ll be needed for Leviathan.

With no hoarded energy to start, I understand 6 or 7 refreshes at the 200 crystal cost will be needed to be sure.

It takes 1000 attempts on average, to 7 star a single drop character.

59 shards for me from 1000 hoarded energy plus all the 50, 100 and 200 refreshes.

I'm currently on 52 shards for 2000 fleet energy. Maybe I'm riding the lower end of the RNG for now. Should still be enough to get well towards 6*+ though.

I had a good start at 66 after 1162 starting energy and did 6 refreshes (3*50 and 3*100). I have done some scenarios of different drop rates / refreshes for me based on that start. It looks like most people will get very close with just the 50c and 100c refreshes , plus a few 200s at some stage. Personally I will stick to just the 100s for the first 3-4 days , then decide if I start to do a 200 each of the remaining days or do them at the end.

Thanks everyone. I will do the 50 and 100 refreshes and see what happens.

I plan on doing all the way through the 200's on refreshes per day to supplement poor rng. I didn't hoard any energy. Regardless it will cost roughly 8400 crystal which is much cheaper than buying shards from the crystal shop.

I got 40 shards on 1300 energy.
