Is it worth to buy featured crystals

Are you referring to like the 6* featured crystal or paragon crystals for featured champs? If it is the latter, definitely not. If the former, depends on the size and depth of your roster

It comes down to your progression. Earlier on the higher shard cost means it's not worth the Featureds, you're better off buying more regular crystals to build up your roster and get more ISO from dupes.

But later on, when you have a pretty firmly developed roster, the superior champs from the smaller featured pool could be worth it.

Depends on the account.

That's subjective and is a personal decision.

Depends on who is in the featured crystal, and if I got the shards to splurge. If it's full of trash champs, or don't have a champ I'm interested in getting, then it's not worth buying.

Yes

Depends on the roster, i have reached a point where barring 5 or so champs, i have every 6* champ that i want who hasnt been released in the last 6 months. I only buy featured crystals exclusively because all the old champs are dupes and giving me 7* shards and i get the new champs to build my roster. This roster even gave me my most wanted old champ - 6* spiderman 2099 who has been eluding me for months now.

Really depends on the roster because the new champs are worth thr 5k extra 6* shard splurge. If you still need to meet your 6* goals then focus on basic not featured.

No

I used to save and hoard for the next feature. But now with 7 stars available, I want the extra 7 star shards.

I might open some of the feature crystals for fun, but I do not try to get all the champs anymore, maybe max 5 crystals.

Enough to get mad that I wasted all those extra shards for nothing because I didn't get a new champ.

Yes

I only go for featured crystals with my 6* shards. There is less than a handful of champs in the basic pool that I still need, so using 6* shards for the basic 6* hero crystal would not make sense since the chance of pulling the those few is so low. I wait for Abyss Nexus Selectors instead - e.g. I was missing Future Ant Man, but with Platinum Track's Abyss Nexus Selector I was able to pull him this weekend. If I tried using dual or basic 6* hero crystals, I'd have wasted quite a bit of shards doing so. I still need Kate Bishop, but hooray for this month's calendar, I don't need a skill Abyss Nexus Selector anymore.

It depends. It's yes for some and no for others. I've enough 5* at this point so I would go with featured 5* cuz I want a new champ. Similar with 6*. Sometimes I go with 6* featured especially when I don't have most of the Champs from the featured pool, or if I have enough from the basic pool. If you've lot of champs that you want and are in basic pools, go for basic.

I am in the "it depends" camp because your roster construction will most likely determine who you still "need" to pull. I typically go for standard crystals since they seem to be the easiest way to gather 7 star shards. Recently I've been going for the featured because I am trying to get Onslaught. I may just have bad luck, but I've opened 21 and have only pulled one White Tiger and one Chee'ilth as featured champs. I accept the statement that the drop rates for featured champs is no different than the standard champs in the featured crystal, but my personal experience (and the experiences of my alliance mates) is enough for me to still harbor droughts about that. Still...low chance is better than no chance.

Yes

Depends on your progression. I have all the 6* champs I want and focus on 7* now. I’ll save some 6* shards for the featured crystals so I can pull the new champs. Otherwise I’m just opening the 6* for the 7* shards and iso. For progressing players stick to the basic crystals, but once you aren’t chasing new 6* then your fine to risk the extra shards to get a shiny newly released champ.

It's just a Lucky shot, You just can't expect to get the featured champ

It's better to grab the units in events like next 8.4, because You get warranted resources in there.

What does getting units on an 8.4 path have to do with getting feature crystals?

We need more rank down tickets.

If you have to ask, the answer is no. The featured crystals have very specific situational value, and in general if you do not know what that is or how to evaluate that yourself, it is best to stay away from them and continue to open basics.
