Hello everyone,
With Banquet starting, I wanted to share a community-built tool that helps explain what the Banquet system is designed to give players on average, using published drop rates and real data.
For More information, please watch the video posted on my channel
(and hit "Like" and "Subscribe")⚠️ Important Disclaimer (Please Read First)
This tool is not financial advice and not encouragement to spend.
If opening Superior Banquet Crystals would cause you stress, debt, or regret, the correct choice is not to spend.
No event or reward is worth that.
🔍 What This Calculator Is
This is an Expected Value (EV) calculator for Superior Banquet Crystals.
It shows:
Expected crystals
Expected catalysts
Expected shards and fragments
Expected overall account power (on average)
It is based on five independent 1,000-SBC simulations (5,000 SBCs total), averaged together to reduce variance and noise.
This is not a prediction of individual results.
It explains the center of the distribution — what the system produces over time.
đź“Ś What This Calculator Is Not
Not a guarantee
Not a “lucky run” showcase
Not telling anyone how many SBCs to open
RNG will always vary, especially at small sample sizes.
🧮 How to Use It
Click the link below to make your own copy of the Google Sheet
Enter one number: how many SBCs you plan to open
Review the automatically updated expected returns
That’s it — one input, everything else updates automatically.

Why Share This?
Every Banquet, players compare screenshots and feel either great or terrible based on RNG.
This tool exists to:
Set expectations
Reduce frustration
Help players understand the system behind the event
Use it as a reference, not as gospel.
Final Reminder
If you cannot afford Superior Banquet Crystals, do not open them.
No calculator, no event, and no champion is worth stress or regret.
If you have feedback, questions, or suggestions to improve the tool, feel free to reply — happy to take community input.
Best of luck during Banquet,
USAFA
