Does the fact that there are now 6 "Featured" champs in the crystal now reduce the odds of pulling them? i.e. previously the featured champ was 25% (pulling number out of nowhere) but now it's a 25% champ of pulling from the featured pool but you then only have a 1 in 6 chance of the actual champ you want?
It seems that you did not read either. Blade's solo featured seems to be worse. His new featured will NOT give him an increased chance at obtaining him. It was speculated that it's about a 20-25% chance to get a featured crystal. The NEW featured rate will be less than 5%. Can you tell me how that's better?
There will be 24 champions in the 15k shard crystal. 18 of them are in the basic pool, and 6 of them are not.
The chance to pull each champion is the same.
So am I understanding this right, when a new champ is released in 4* arena it could potentially be almost 3 months before he’s available as a 5* in a featured crystal at a 1 in 24 chance if his arena is early in the 3 month cycle?
I’m missing using my Wolverine because he can’t keep up as a 5/50 4*.
I like that your data is not shared with the community, so when you say that "Kamala Khan is one of the best champs for AW attack" and throw her in the 18, we just have to smile and nod to ourselves.
Or taking care that when you have to release "loot box" odds we won't know what the old odds were.
I think something is getting lost in translation here, because a few people have replied with the correct answer. We know you all have been saving for Blade, and that is why we made an exception for him, and are still running his 15,000 Shard Featured Hero Crystal that you all know.
Ok so they are taking away the current 15k Eatured crystal that had an increased chance of getting a certain featured champs.
Instead this new crystal will have 6 featured champs on rotation and then 18 others from the basic pool thrown in.
The upside of the new crystal is a smaller pool (24 champs only) so a better chance of pulling the one u want.
The downside is no increased chance for the featured champs. All 24 champs will have same odds.
So if u want a specific champ really bad, when the champ comes around in the feature, you spend 5k more shards for a 1/24 chance of pulling him/her instead of dealing with the current 1/100 chance or whatever the current odds of the Basic Crystal 5* is.
That's what they meant with "return".
The crystal is the same as the current one. There is no new crystal for Blade, is the same one. The "new" crystal will run alongside this one
No. You have a 1 in 24 chance of getting any particular Champion in the Crystal. This is roughly 4% for any particular Hero.
“This change takes effect on February 13th, which is the day that Blade is added to the regular 5-Star Champion pool, but we also know that many of you are saving your 5-Star Crystal shards for a shot at Blade. Because we know how much time and effort you’ve all put into acquiring Shards for the return of Blade’s Featured Hero Crystal, we’ve decided to run his crystal one more time! It will return on its regularly scheduled date of February 22nd.”
OH ok. Great. Thanks for clarifying. There is definitely something getting lost in translation here. As somebody before said, the wording of the announcement is not that great.
In the system we have currently, if I wanted a five star void, as I do, by buying a featured five star crystal I have about a 20 -25% chance of pulling him ( this percentage seems to be the consensus). In this new system, I can spend the same number or shards and have a 1 in 24, or 4 percent chance of pulling him. ?
There seems to be no way to spin this Mike that this is helping us get the champs we want... or am I misunderstanding this.
Clarification gratefully received.
Thank you
How about allowing us to vote on top 3 Basic 5* champs per class? Every 3 months use those results to come up with the list of 18.
Let us pick the champs that are worth the premium price. We can't blame Kabam for a trash pool, no need to repeat the summer of 5* gross champs added to basics.
Next to it, there will be this new crystal with 24 champs ( 6 new - 18 randomly selected by the team) for 15k shards. Rotated by every quarter.
As a conclusion, now you will be paying 5k extra to avoid the trash from the basic pool, potentially getting something good and or new from the featured pool but in hand w this you will be loosing the possibility to get a specific champ. So lowering to get a specific champ but increasing the possibility to acquire something useful ( hoping that the community will be included at some point to select that 18 champs)
On the other hand if you still want to for a specific champ you are getting forced to those expensive GMCs and to spend money.
Overall I think you gave less than you took from us... but thumbs up for leaving the Blade crystal... i have saved 6 tries for him.
@Kabam Miike Can you confirm or correct me where i was wrong.
every champ before this crystal was announced needs to be rerunn. PEROID
You should also check story quests as well because blade and stark are not champs everyone has but people use them when they do get them for modes outside aq and aw.
Yes, this is correct. You will be able to win them in the Grandmaster Featured Hero Crystal, but some Champions will not make it into the Featured Hero Crystal for some time.
Thing is she is never used at high levels, meaning at lower levels she may well have great data because she’s being used in easier fights.
