Best Of

I've been using my r5 6*CMM against my r4 7* C. Brit in practice to form some strategies. I haven't had a chance to test her against C. Brit yet in this bg meta since I haven't seen any or many C. Brits in the rosters I've been up against.

But here are the 6* results in practice

Might have to do a few friendlies now that I have my strategies lol

They did communicate. They acknowledged the bug and the fix, and they explained what they decided to compensate. Quite promptly, actually.

What else are they obligated to say if people who weren't even affected by the issue are unhappy with the decision?

funny thing is that i truly enjoy arena. It’s an unpopular opinion for sure. In exchange I hate BG 😅

Back Issues - Contamination - 1.1

This is not the case. Someone did a fairly large opening and drew that conclusion from their results, but the two problems with that are a) random chance means you never get exactly the statistical average, so if I open a bunch of each type, there will always be a “winner” and “loser” but there’s also a statistical margin for error which wasn’t factored in, and b) we actually know what the actual drop odds and drop amounts are, so the statistical average is calculable for all three crystals, and it is exactly the same: 1840 per million BC.

Since 2021 I’ve opened 58 million BC worth of TB arena crystals. 20 crystals per million BC batch, 1160 crystals total. The total units from all those crystals is 106875, which is an average of 1843 units per batch. The biggest batch I have I opened was 5250, and the smallest was 375 units. It is highly variable because you’re opening so few crystals per batch with very high unit counts (375 and 1125 units for the small drop and the large drop respectively).

If I had 50 million BC and was planning to open them all at once, I would definitely open the TB crystals. First, because I don’t want to go insane opening tens of thousands of arena crystals, but second because the TB crystals are very slightly more valuable. In terms of units, all three crystals have the same average return. But in two ways the TB crystals is more valuable. First, the Punishers have higher rarity, and assuming most people would consider the higher rarity Punishers far more valuable than the lower one that crystal has an edge. Second, the TB crystals has a very slightly higher gold return per million BC than the other two crystals due to the need to scale it differently for energy drops. The UC crystal has a chance to drop five full energy refills. Scaling up the TB crystals would imply it should occasionally drop 25 refills. But that was seen as problematic, because many players would not be able to use 25 refills before they expired from stash. So the TB crystals has a higher chance to drop 10 refills instead, so its net energy return is identical to the basic and UC crystal. But those odds had to come from somewhere, so the odds of dropping gold in the TB crystals is slightly lower than in the other two. To compensate, the gold drops are slightly higher than 5x of the UC crystal, and those numbers are rounded up so the crystal doesn’t have worse gold return. Instead, its very slightly higher.

So with a 50 million pile of BC, I would go TB. It’s enough to average out the unit return fairly well, you get better Punisher drops, and you’ll net a slightly higher amount of gold. And you’ll only have to open a thousand crystals.

Lol thanks! We originally got her for "free" from the last Platinum track or the one before. I can't remember which. But hope you get her soon. She's really good on offense too
