Should Featured crystals be Nexus crystals?

With the new champs (starting with Dani) being released as 7*, and given that the game is slowly grinding towards 7* at the upper levels, are you still opening 6* featured crystals at 12500 shards and why?

It seems that the value of featured crystals (and dual class crystals) vs opening as many basics as possible is quite unbalanced now? This is assuming you have a relatively large roster with a good portion (let's say 60% of the available champs).

Nexus crystals at 12,500 might be too cheap with the current economy of the game. Thoughts?

Featured crystals are actually 15k shards btw, but nah I think it's still just fine the way it is. 7*s aren't yet important enough to put a dent into the 6* economy. When they are, I'd just expect that they increase the amount of 6* shards available to earn, the same way they did with 5*s.

This makes absolutely no sense. Why would the existence of 7 stars change anything about the existence of the previously established crystals. It has never happened in the game for anything

If you want to get as many 7* as possible, you open basic shards if you have a decent roster. Why? Because it starts setting you up for dupes to get Titan shards (in addition to the other methods).

I suspect people (with larger roster) will open far fewer Featured Crystals at a 15k price when you need 30-50 for all the champs.

But that’s just my guess and I’m curious what other people think.

Thanks for the correction @AngelMcNugget

When 6 stars came out it didn't decrease the price of 5 star crystals. Over time it became easier to get 5 star shards. Over time 6 star shards will become more ready available and once you can upgrade 7 stars more easily, 6 stars will lose it's value. Unless Accession comes as planned to make 6 star more viable with 7 stars around. Right now I still want to target the new 6 star feature champs since there are champs in there I still want.
