    Isn't there a well known saying 14th time lucky?

    Well, Featured Drops are rare. The rarest I've seen. In the whole time I've been playing, I've landed two. A 4* and a 3*. I won't say how many I've bought. Let's just say it's been costly. I just keep that in mind when I buy them, and if I feel like trying for it, I try. I wouldn't drop a significant amount unless I really wanted the Champ, and even then, it's just a chance.
    Side Note: Bought one since I'm on my way out the door. Landed a 4* Gambit. I may buy a few more in the next couple days, but Grinding is the only semi-guarantee.

    Might aswell stop on 15...

    You could have had 6.5 5* chances more by not going for the featured. I would stop.

    Features or bust! I'm on a cold streak, missed last 5. But you'll be so pumped when you hit!

    I stopped spending just for the reason of my cold streak and basically barely playing now since I have no motivation

    My situation isn't as dire as yours. I'm 0/3 on featured 5* champs. But until I can get a worthwhile 5* champ to help my prestige, I'm dead in the water. I have to keep farming 5* shards, then cross my fingers that the RNG gods will bless me with something I can actually use. I have 12 5* champs right now. The only one that's worth anything (Star Lord) is already r4. The game has suddenly slowed to a crawl. I'm stuck until they give me a little bit of good luck.

    Sucks man. Hope your luck isn't as worse as mine and you don't get to the point where I'm at and just play casually and not expecting much from this game

    You've given me a little bit of hope though. When I go 0/4 on featured crystals, at least I can say to myself, "Well, it could be worse. At least you're not Apache."

    Had a friend go 0/5 on cable. He then pulled Phoenix, Voodoo, and Gwenpool over the next few months. Chin up, fellas

    i am at 3/9 now. Went for
    nc 1/2
    Voodoo 2/5
    Nebula 0/1
    Carnage 0/1
  • NinjaWarrior99NinjaWarrior99 Posts: 340 ★
    I went 1/2 on dormamu. Now, i am going all basic since they are adding new 5* to basic. Besides I have no T2 alpha left and none in sight so no rush to get the top tier 5*. I can wait until they come out in basic.

    Who did you get instead? I was lucky (unlucky) enough to get Carnage... and my first impression is that he sucks.

    You might have dodged a bullet.

    Last one I got was hulk buster. I haven't pulled this time (only at 5k five star shards) since I dropped to a lower alliance where I'm barely getting five star shards. I'm kind of on the road out I guess

    I opened 6 of them.
    On the 6th it landed on 4* Carnage then as it bursts open i only got a 3* Cable.

    It definitely seems harder to dupe now with a larger pool of basics...
  • LocoMotivesLocoMotives Posts: 1,200 ★★★
    We are Told (I stress Told because we don't know and have to go by what they say) that the chance to get the feature is fixed no matter how many basics are available. So the first filter is if you get the feature, then it goes through a filter to see if you get sub-feature (if yes, then choose champ), then goes to the basic pool.

    This is one of the unfortunate side effects of adding new champions every couple of weeks.

    I think with more heroes in 5-star crystal it's extremely difficult to duplicate one. I opened 5 crystals today and got only useless heroes. My suggestion is a trading system ...

    Save your shards until one happy happy day we get us a 5* awakening gem. Pop all your shards on a featured of the class of your awakening gem.

    I did that. I'm still sitting on a mystic awakening gem.

    hope you have a few hundred saved up for that offer

    This is one good reason why I won't lay a finger on a 5* featured crystal, not worth the risk for a chance at the 5* featured by sacrificing 5000 more 5* shards
  • LocoMotivesLocoMotives Posts: 1,200 ★★★
    it seems all risk/reward obviously. I've opened all features, and I have voodoo/crossbones/cable/Falcon to show for it. It's a much more unique and fun lineup to me, I have champs that most players never had a shot at (though they will soon).
    I also have antman/MK/mags/duped rhino (among others) and I paid a premium for them. I'm okay with that chance, it's the only thing I look forward to right now in the game.

    See what you said a fun lineup. That's why I go for features mostly. A new fun character for me to use and rank.
