When are chromium packs ever worth it?

Oh and I'm thinking more about the mega-pack

When you are willing to spend thousands of dollars on them.

This^^

Pure quantity is the only way you will get anything useful from them.

Maybe early when you don't have a goal or a bunch of toons 7*

Yeah I never buy them, just because. I'd rather spend money on farming what I know I want/need .. but always wondered if there was ever any real value beyond just spam buying chromiums.

Chromium packs are good up to around level 40-50 because up until that point getting a 4 star character is an instant big upgrade to your roster.

After that it's value drops until you are just trying to farm the last few characters out of chromiums/the shard shop.

I had better luck with these when I was new, now I have most of the toons (18) left to unlock.
I just bought one and nothing that I wanted or needed. I wanted rogue 1 toons.

Doesn't the randomness of the drop diminish the usefulness?
Just wondering ...

IMO yes, just tried to get lucky and failed miserably!

Don't have to spend money just save crystals. Yes, crystals can be utilized in a much better way.

Yes. There are only two times Chromiums are worth it:

1) Very early in the game, when an instant unlock of a 3* or 4* character immediately makes your roster more diverse - because they are instantly viable in a "new" roster.

2) If you are literally willing to spend several hundred dollars to get several exclusive characters starred to 7*.

Once your past a certain point in the game, 15 bonus shards or a 2* unlock is simply not worth the crystals.
