Understanding the players in the end game

I feel spending habits alter as you progress, not sure how much of a read out they have on that. Early game bottle necks are where I focused money so kyro’s were my biggest purchase. But since 11-12M your economy picks up. New bottle necks are high relic mats and shards. But I tend to find way more value in conquest pass as I have a more mature roster, and I like the episode pass now. Not much in the shop is really enticing me in the same way the kyro’s did. I get the limited relic pack sometimes for crystals. Gamble packs with multiple characters lost value when you kept up with newer characters more which for me was 6M+. The gamble packs on the latest character can help you hit 5 star and max shards early on. 

I have seen some experimentation, there were slice a bundle relic packs which let you choose your rewards at 3 levels. I just thought the price was steeper than my liking still but I think that’s because it removes the gamble element.
