If you have the units or cash - Max Heart of Fire? or save for July 4th?

I painstakingly saved 42k units - some bought. Most grinded for.
I can likely max one event.
Looking back at last year, Omega days netted 1 r3 and most of the champs (guaranteed 3).
July offers had weapon x, 2 selectors, and 2x r3 rank up gems. So twice the rank ups and less champs. You could argue weather weapon x is more useful or exclusive. The offers were on par.
But this year Heart of Fire is LIT. I mean Fury (likely duped), FAM and Tigra are worth the price of admission alone, but then they went on and added dark Phoenix! And one will be r4… I thought of skipping this but am definitely reconsidering.
July offers will likely have 2-3 titan nexus, a 2024 selector, 2-3 r4 rank up materials or gems, and I assume a dupe for weapon x and maybe Jessica. Also a generic AG.
But phoenix and the rest… will not return any time soon. arrrggghhh!

You’re welcome.
But if you're not really gung ho about the HOF champs, then it's an easy decision to skip the event since even the rank up resources will be limited to using them on those champs.
Sure you would get a selector on July 4th of some sort, but most likely the value is going to be rank up materials unless you hit some great RNG on some regular crystals. Take the champs.
Yeah, with a passionate grind, it's totally possible to amass about 20k units for J4 even if you deplete everything for HOF.
So it’s a matter of strategy and choice, really. I can effectively max only one event if I want to stay married.
No need to stress about maxing out everything on every event.
Try to enjoy what you get and banish the FOMO impulses.
ranks reset every year so if you miss out on big resource sales it’s not the end of the world. if by the end of the year megawhales have 80r4s and you “only” have 40, are you really missing out? imo no.
Rank up resources like t7B will depreciate, maxing out July 4th may bank you a guaranteed 2024 champion and maybe a few rank 4s but as said by the time we get closer to cyber deals July 4th will look mid and there’ll be no chance again to get these god tier champs
lol
Jokes aside, I'd at least start to spend on this event and see who I pick up. I don't care enough about Dark Phoenix to go all-in just for her, but I'd love to pick up Fury and Fantman. Tigra and iBom are cool too, but again, I wouldn't dump all of my units just to get them. But Fury and Fantman? Mommy/daughter bonding time!
However, I think of it this way: big sales that guarantee rank-up resources give an advantage for a few months before those resources start to really flood the game. Meanwhile, big sales that guarantee (more or less; I don't know the specifics) certain champions offer an advantage that doesn't equal out nearly as quickly as resources. The champions from last year's event are still not available in the basic pool (right?). With a few exceptions, these types of champion pools tend to stay exlusive for about a year. They may pop up in a crystal here and there between now and next year, but assuming that they follow the same pattern as similar pools in the past, I doubt we'll see them widely available for quite a while. As such, I would argue that this type of event is way more beneficial longterm than something like July 4th.
While the 7/4 deals are often solid, the champs for HoF are almost all phenomenal champs (much more so than Omega Days, which were very good) and may not be available except rarely after this event.
That’s my reasoning thus far. Seeing the actual milestones may change my thought process.

People have been bombarding his streams with that question since the live stream, so I believe it's only fair that he created a video about it and shared his thoughts on it.
Life will go on as it does without having any of them. You’ll still be able to do high end content and play competitive BG’s without them.
Sure, if you have the Units or the cash, feel free to do what you like…but I’ll be passing this event and await July 4 ‘deals.’
I have the units for both this event and July 4, but I won’t be spending much, if any. I just don’t spend in these events. The only time I bought all offers was the July 4 event 2-4 years ago when they had crazy rank up deals. That event was account-changing.
