Episode pass this round turns out to be a waste.

Normally, when you buy an episode pass, you get the shards to at least 4 star the unit and advance in the event a little. CX doesn't give even people that pay this opportunity and that makes the episode pass kinda a waste. All my second bad batch are near 5 star so why isn't CX able to reach the same? I dropped money into Appo but that's a little much to have to do for every Dark clone.
