Are you going for the 6* featured or sticking with the basic ?

Just curious what everyone's play is here. Typically, the sub-feats for these are notably bad, but this time aside from Hercules, there's Diablo and Torch (still way too many misses though imo).
I was actually curious what the difference in the odds for the featured vs the basic were because although the featured costs an extra 5k shards, there's a much smaller pool of champions in the featured.
Nevertheless, I did a quick comparison of the two taking into consideration the cost of shards and the size of the pool. At least for me, it showed that the featured actually had the higher odds. However the problem here is, as you pull more of the champs you want in the featured, the odds begin to favor the basic pool. In my example shown, with 7 targeted champs in the feat, the odds are in favor of the featured, but once I pull one of those and have 6 to target, the odds become equal.
Which crystal are you going for?

Sticking to basics for now cause I know I'll be shafted for a while
There aren’t many champs in the basic pool I really want, so featured is better for me personally.
Personally, I've gotten X-23, Medusa and the Overseer, I am really happy with my pulls so far.
Herc dupe, Penni and Diablo are the big wins for me still
Hercules is a game changer from what I’ve heard and diablo/torch are top of their class as well. There’s a lot of trash in it as well, but 3 champs close to being best of their class might actually be rare to come by in a featured pool.
The only question is, do you still keep going for the crystal after you pulled herc or torch etc. It’s at least good that herc and diablo benefit from their dupes for this
That said, I will probably be saving instead for the Next Featured. But, I will also wait and see what strategies there are for 7.3 exploration, and if a specific champion I don't have is good for that.
I’d be reasonably happy with at least 8-9 of the champs in featured; there are some crystals, however, that simply feel like they won’t break your way. This one feels like that to me, but I will probably give it a few more tries.

I completely struck out. Is there anyone here that also got duds for their first 2 or however many tries, but are still going for this crystal?
Curious to see how many stopped versus continuing... as there’s just way too many trash in the crystal
As much as i want Herc or Peni ..i may not go for it again ..15k shards aren't easy to collect everytime.
I was really tempted by this one.. but I still need so many from the basic that I think for me personally I'll stick to it.
Not sure whether to continue with them or not. I can feel Daredevil around the corner..
I went for a featured since there are a few tech champs in there that I could use my 1-2 tech gem on (plus, obviously, non-tech champs like Hercules, Torch, Diablo). I ended up pulling Diablo, which is amazing. He also benefits from his dupe so I would absolutely not be sad about pulling him again if I go back to the featured for my next opening.
I will probably go for this featured again but it scares me a little. I think the last crystal was more even where even the less-good champs were valuable to me personally as synergy pieces or the like. This crystal, however, has several trash champions that I have absolutely no use for at all and a few rare champs (Medusa, Iceman, Starky) that I'm just not interested in.
Hopefully the Karnak and Nebula buffs elevate them and make the crystal even more appealing.
First three pulls so far: Hercules (yay), Nebula (waiting on the buff), Guillotine (pthhthhhh).
I am now missing 14, and would be reasonably okay with 2 first time awakenings, so still 16 out of 24 (67%) are at least decent for me. Especially on the hunt for the dup on Herc, Diablo, Torch, Iceman, Medusa, Peni, and S2099. Going to probably keep pulling this featured until it ends, unless I get spectacularly lucky early on.
