At about 52k units at the moment. Valiant of course.
I'm really resenting the fact they made be the previous years equivalent of 18k now be the 36k as the norm.
But I've heard polar opposite takes, some saying that 36k units is just too much for all of it, and that no t4a, sigs, AG etc are present. On the other hand, some saying that there is a lot of guaranteed value, that I'd be left behind in BGs.
I'm f2p as of now and very rarely do arena, so if I were to spend, I wouldn't have the 36k for Cyber Deals.
Cyber was worse last year than July 4 but that could very well change this year since their motto seems to be geared towards aligning the game to have more rewards , easier and simpler content etc etc per the recent livestreams

If you were an arena grinder I’d say go for it since you’d be able to get back to 36k in time for cyber weekend but since you’re not gonna be getting units quickly I’d save what you have. The more necropolis ages the less afraid kabam will be to preserve the value of its rewards, so I’d personally bet on future events. Probably not banquet since there’s no progression based rewards so i wouldn’t count much on that, but probably cyber weekend.
And yea I also hate this new 36k unit norm. 18k was expensive but at least more reasonable. 36k is 4 digits worth of spending if you have no units, or 6 months of arena. And considering there’s an event seemingly every 3 months now it’s just not a reasonable amount.
If you guys don't mind commenting as well, as I know the poll itself will be skewed by non valiants voting
I often don't do all the top content that comes along, meaning no Necro exploration or maxing pts on Sorrow this time or last. I feel always hitting the unit sales keeps my acct chugging along.
The second reason is champ selectors and Nexus crystals. It can be hard to pull champs you want with RNG, especially with low or no spending, so picking up Bullseye, Onslaught, Chavez and duping a couple of my R3s is hard to pass up.
Plus as already mentioned, an arena grinder can make up another 36k plus in time for Cyber sales fairly easily. I agree that 36k as the new normal low-key sux. Feels like inflation, because we're def not getting twice the previous value imo. Two spends of 15k (30k total) would feel less like a kick in da nuts, but this is Kabam, so we just have to wear a cup and stay in da game.
I always feel like unless you are in a whale alliance, banquet is only good for lower progression. Rank up materials depreciates but champs don’t.
The unit deals IMO are terrible. The cash Odin deals are ok. My 2c worth
