you start with 34 "free" points - that gets you 4 Omega Valiant & 600 Units
that is another 12 points - 8 for the Valliant's & 4 fr the "free" unit spend - that is 46, then you spend 600 units to buy 2 crystals, and you get to the 50 milestone and get the 600 back - thus 50 is the "free" limit?
spend 4800 units - 16 Valliant's - 32 points, that gets you to 66
66 gets you 6 Valiant's & 1800 Units + 24 Points (12 for VC's & 12 got unit spend) that gets you to 90 points and that adds rank 70 & 80 rewards, another 10 points (4 for the 2 VC's and 6 for the 900 units).
Thus for 4800 spend you get to the 100
So with that, the total amount of units from your stash that you need to spend (again, I’ve factored in the Valiant Omega crystals and the units we receive, so this is just YOUR units) is 41,100.
EDIT: Forgot to explain that the free Cavalier crystals we get won’t count towards the Paragon+ event’s points. So we can’t factor those into the math. I’ll do the same thing for Thronebreakers and below and the free Cavalier crystals will be included there.
The correct full unit cost is 36,900
DNA's math is correct. Just wish he'd made a specific line in the table for 185 points in Alpha event (12450 units if anyone is curious).
123 crystals to buy. My bad
A total of 34 x 10 points = 340 points to collect them all.
5 points for winning with the 6 mentioned champs, per fight.
340 / 5 = 68. You must win 68 single fights = 22.66 rounds in the arena where you only use the mentioned champs and win all fights.
Personally, I have;
4 x Molegod
5 x Quicksilver
5 x Longshot
5 x Corvus
4 x Omega Red
4 x Omega sentinel
9 fights per round, 340 points in just over 4 hours with a 2 hour cooldown of 2*s > 5*s…
This is for everyone to be done easy peasy 🫡
Heavy arena grinders are, of course, likely to pick up these points almost automatically.
So starting from 10800, you can spend an additional 1650 units and land on 185 for Alpha, but you’d be buying one lesser crystal to do it. Or you could spend an additional 1800 units and also max out Alpha, but not buy the lesser crystal, Or you could spend 3000 units and go all the way up to milestone 160 in Omega, which also maxes out Alpha and refunds you 900 units from the Omega milestone. So you are really spending 2100 units net. That’s 300 units more for four more Paragon/Valiant crystals, which for someone spending this much already seemed to be too good of a deal to pass on.
Which reminds me: I said my calculations were net out of pocket, but they are net out of pocket to *reach* those specific milestones. They are not net of the rewards *for* the milestone reached, on the assumption that players had to have the resources mentioned to reach the milestone in the first place. The rewards you get for that specific milestone are factored into the amount necessary to reach the *next* milestone and reduce that amount by any points you’d get for free for reaching that specific milestone.
That’s why in my table it takes 3000 more units to get from milestone 140 to milestone 160. Thats the cost for ten Para/Val crystals, and there’s no rewards that score points between 140 and 160. But reaching 160 would return 900 units to you, so technically speaking it takes 12900 units of net spending to reach that milestone, after you reach it and then collect the units. Costs reflect all points earned from all rewards up to, but not including, the milestone reached.
In my opinion, and this is just my opinion, the way Valiant rolled out was the best pacing for top tier roll out since 4* champs were the highest rarity. The amount of time where R3 was gated essentially via Necropolis, then Necropolis + spending, then Necro + Act 8 was the right degree of having skill paths, spending paths, and more content grinding paths integrated together.
But with this roll out, there had to be a widening of the R3 bottleneck for Valiants, and that meant that by the time players at the end of the initial rollout of Valiant (Act 8) were reaching Valiant, the early Valiants were already accumulating R3s and that pace was accelerating. I think that’s reasonable, and I don’t really think we can have an extended rollout of the top tier rank ups and also an extended period of those top tier rank ups still being constrained even by the top tier progression players. We can’t have the early Valiants waiting that long for the Act 8 Valiants to arrive before they could start building up their R3 rosters. And we can’t hold back the spenders for that long either, given they are the ones that keep the lights on.
Save your units from this "scuffed Banquet" event and wait for July-4th broken deals because your mind will SHATTER for your eyes will betray you with first look of unit offers alone.
If you are F2P and only have a limited amount of units, you might not have enough units to buy all of the top expensive J4 offers. The optimum strategy for them might be to spend a limited amount of units on Omega, and then a limited amount of units on J4. Or they might decide to skip both, and target all of their units on Cyber weekend.
Which strategy you pursue is probably very personalized to your circumstances.
And July-4th not only will give new champs but also rank up materials.
Perhaps even Titan nexus? Who knows, last year Kabam surprised everyone from offers, this year 7* sigs and awaken is clearly.
But biggest question is will Kabam be brave enough to give slight 7r4 materials? Not enough to form a new r4 but enough to tempt whales.

That’s on top of the 19 Paragon or Valiant crystals you would be buying with those 5700 units. Now, I’m not saying that the J4 options for 5700 units won’t be better, but that does seem to be decent value for 5700 units.
I don’t know how casual is casual for grinding arena, but there are reasonably easy ways to arena grind for 5700 units. An hour a day grinder could get that in a couple months with a reasonable strong roster. And for an hour a day for a couple months, that’s not a bad haul.
