Chromium Packs

Question

I know the general consensus is to spend your crystals on Cantina refreshes, but does anyone else regularly buy the Chromium Packs? I've had mixed results, but overall I feel like I get way more shards for the "money" this way. I've gotten plenty of duds, but burning through a Cantina refresh and getting 0-1 shards in return is equally frustrating. Of course, you don't get the extra ability materials et al. What are your experiences with them?

I got a pretty solid roll today. 211 total shards for 2520 crystals seems like a pretty good return.

5 Shards sets: 12-Sith Trooper, 12-Death Trooper, 12- Chirrut, 10x2-Gar Saxon. 3 Characters: Poe (50), Jyn Erso (80) and Imperial Super Commando.

If you run the numbers and check the averages it's a bad buy. If you want to justify it because of your one good pull or your one day bad streak in cantina, fine. When you break it down, it's gambling, and the house always wins. Energy refreshes have consistently proven to be the best use of crystals.

Chromes are decent purchases for new/rookie accounts, generally speaking you have minimum chars and it allows for bonus unlocks and faster starring, However in the long run, the value diminishes rapidly as you start having chars unlocked and seven star,

That’s basically why the advice is typically to always refresh versus buying cuz on the long run you get much better yield that way

I'm level 76, so still early enough on where I'm trying to get a better toon inventory.  I still do refreshes working specific characters to 7*.

once you hit a certain point where you have a number of 7* toons. the ROI drops off steeply.  there are common toons that will drop often.

Ive been infracted previously for advising against buying chromium packs and you are doing the same thing now.
