F2P ($0) Players: Where do you spend your crystals?

What if you spend $5? Is that F2P? What about $1?

What if you get $20 in Google credit, but it's not actually cash?

What if someone else buys it for you?

What if you pay someone $50 to give you $60 of their Google credit towards your account? Is that F2P?

What if you spend $50, but then get it refunded?

my plan originally was 1 but after 1x4 and 2x8 (I bought 2x7day crystal subs and Dooku pack) I decided its just really stupid. I was hoping I could slowly build chromium heroes but it just doesnt work. The best is to do 4 and 5 based on your Arena rank. I currently do 2x Cantina and 2x regular refills and I am slowly dropping in crystals. I think the guide in the guide section for F2P said to do 2x regular and 1x cantina until 40 and then do 2x Cantina and as many regular as you can afford and want to to farm gear. I believe that to be correct and sound advise. I would drop a regular refill myself if I wasnt trying to push for 70 to keep up with the top 10 in my server.

1x Cantina refill and 4x normal refills per day (but I score in top5, wouldn't have crystals for that otherwise).

I saved for a 4 pack chromium. Got Jedi Anakin. Now I just refresh energy once a day and save for single chromiums. Thinking of starting to just do energy and squad arena refresh, but idk yet.

Bought the 8 chromium pack a while ago and got 3* IG-88. He's at 5* now. Would use them for refreshes but it would take ages to build up a decent amount because crystal rewards aren't great.

Cantina refresh. Energy refresh. Arena shipment refresh. Sometimes shipment refresh if a purple I need is there. Sometimes a hard battles refresh if I am close to unlocking a star or character.

But always refreshes. Best bet to get ahead.

Not FTP, but I think the answer would be the same if I were one. Energy refills. Depends how high you get in your arena. I'd do two 50 crystals LS/DS missions first, then 100 crystals Cantina. Then more 100 LS/DS refills, if you place top5 or so

The problem with the chromiums is, yes you might have luck and draw an awesome 4*...and then. To be competetive they have to be starred up to 5*, 6* or even 7*. This will take a lot of time and a lot of luck too.

Right, I hadn't really thought through the issue that in f2p mode further promotion to >=5* of any lucky drop chromium characters would be hard.

1+ Cantina refills
2+ Energy refills

...Thanks to all for the wisdom. My biggest challenge from here on will be getting better arena rank for more daily crystals. (Assembling a sybiotic team should help)

Re:

F2P / $0 / $50 / ...

Right, I just meant not staying on the payola train ;)

I put $0 in the subject line for accessibility to non-hardcore gamers.
...I'm hardcore Star Wars, not harcore gamer, so I've been looking up a lot of acronyms at urbandictionar since joining.
...not me --->. B)

Thanks!!!
