Crystal Update - Nexus Chance Addition
MCOC Team
Administrator, Admin [en] Administrator › Posts: 601
Greetings Summoners!
Some fantastic improvements are coming to a Crystal near you! This October there will be improvements made to Premium Hero Crystals, Grandmaster Crystals and Cavalier Crystals. Starting October 1, a small chance of a Nexus Crystal will be added to each of these Crystals.
This change will affect all current basic Premium Hero Crystals, Grandmaster Crystals and Cavalier Crystals - so hold on to them for October 1 if you want the additional Nexus chance.
In addition, select Featured Hero crystals starting October 8 will also have a small chance of Nexus Crystals added. Don’t worry, we won’t be changing the Featured Hero chances - the goal is if you don’t happen to get the Featured Hero, you have a chance to at least make a choice between some exciting Champions. Be sure to look out for the updated Nexus chance in the new Champion releases!
Additional notes:
- The chance of getting a certain Star Rating is not changing. If it is a 3% chance of a 4-Star, it will still be a 3% chance of a 4-Star, you just might get it in the form of a 4-Star Nexus crystal instead of a 4-Star Champion.
- For featured crystals - we are not changing the chance of a featured champion AT ALL. The Featured Hero chance remains the same.
- % chance of Nexus is out of 100% - so for a Premium Hero Crystal it is a 0.6% chance for all pulls, not a 0.6% on a 3% chance of 4-Star.
- First Featured Hero planned is the first new character in October.

(A) So this extends down to PC's as well ? 2/3/4 potential, so the 4* potential will have some of it's odds shifted into a 4* Nexus choice instead ?
(B) For the PC, are these just from WHOLE PREMIUM's, and not from formed PC Shards crystals ?
(C) And for all, it says “Nexus Crystal”, so would you get an actual Nexus Crystal into you inventory that you would then have to separately open later ? Or is it an immediate Nexus Choice right away when you open that PC/GC/Cav Crystal ?
Even the 4* Nexus from the PHCs isn't a complete waste, as it increases the odds of me filling in the few 4* holes I have, or alternatively steering 4* drops into max sig crystals, which means more 5* shards.
Also, all I said was that I care about the change, because it is a positive change. That makes it more of a short smile and a nod, or only approximately 3.82% of one backflip. So yes, not worth turning back flips over. If they announced 26 other changes of similar magnitude simultaneously, I might have done one backflip. But certainly not two or more backflips.
solo crystals and arena milestones (shards-wise) are in dire need of an update, not sure if anyone really cares about a super small chance at a nexus from crystals they probably don't even go for
