Hi. So I could use some feedback about my actions, I have 3->4 and 4->5 tech gem but no characters I'd like to use them on. I want to hold them for Darkhawk, Warlock, Mysterio or Guillotine 2099. 3 of those characters are in the basic and guilly will be added mid February, but two of them are in the featured crystal, so my question is what do you think is the best strategy to get on of them?
Note: I'm not a sigil owner nor I intend to be one

seeing as the champs you mention have immunity's, there is also Sentinel who is also worth r5 even unduped.
From featured you can get specific champions but you can also get some of the worst in the game.
I reccomend basics because they're cheaper and there's also a chance to get beyond god tier champs.
But doesnt change the fact that Sentinel has great utility and surviveability.
Personally i'm not a fan of Dominos move set with the double gunshot medium but i can still recognize that she is a damage powerhouse.
Maybe this screenshot will give a bit more feedback
Second, try avoid saving rank up resources for specific champs. You may not pull them for several months sabotaging your progress. Work your way with what u have. There are plenty of techs worth these rank up gems. Probably you will have at least one that can help u clear content. Sentinel is a great option for example, as he can bring you easily Variant 3 exploration. Hold on to useful resources on a game that is on a rush, is really a bad tactics. Unless you want to invest your progress out of luck.
The more sophisticated strategy is to look at the list of the champions in the 5* basic and the 5* featured, and count how many of each you would actually want to pull. For the featured crystal to be the better option the average number of "good" pulls needs to be higher. Figure out what percentage of the basic is "good" and multiply by three: figure out what percentage of the featured is "good" and multiply by two. Open whichever is higher. Note that these percentages could change with each pull.
How do you define a "good" pull? That's the million dollar question. For some people, it is pulling a "game changing" champ, whatever that means in your particular situation (only you can answer that). For me, a "good pull" is a) a strong champ that fills an important roster hole for me I don't have, b) awakening an unawakened champ that benefits greatly from awakening, c) any champ I don't have, d) first time awakening of any champ, and e) duping a champ I'm trying to max sig level on, in that order. Everything else is everything else.
Unfortunately, no one can really do that kind of analysis for your own situation except you.
Deciding which crystal to open for me is 50% math, and 50% gut instinct based on the math, given that criteria.
