It's just an option if you want it. Slightly better energy drops is the only difference, you're not missing much if you pass on it.
Aren't the Punisher drops different too?
The Punisher drops for the Thronebreaker arena crystals scale like the Uncollected ones did. They all have the same chance to drop a lower rarity and higher rarity Punisher: 0.65% and 0.02% respectively. In the case of the standard crystal these are 3* and 4* Punishers. For the UC crystal it is 4* and 5*. For the Thronebreaker crystal, it is 5* and 6*.
For all intents and purposes, the TB crystal drops about the same rewards per battlechip as the other two, with the exception of the Punisher drops being higher rarity levels. In the case of the TB crystal it is actually slightly higher, while the UC crystal is exactly 5x, the reason being it would be unwieldy to scale up the energy refills from the UC crystal (it would have to drop 25 of them, while the inventory cap is only 10). So some of the TB numbers had to be tweaked a bit.
What were you honestly expecting? 10k units, same as UC Ones but better items? The Thronebreaker crystal was always gonna be something like 5x the cost for 5x the units, gold or whatever
I was kind of hoping it would be 25k chips per crystal. 2.5x increase with 2.5x the reward values. Accumulating 50k chips took me 48 rounds in the new featured arena. That’s a lot. But hey, guess I can just keep opening uncollected
You can even get min 15units from normal arena crystal and this is for big one bro for that u have to open minimum 10-15 crystals at same time for huge rewards
