**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Legendary Crystals Drop Rates

SearmenisSearmenis Posts: 1,545 ★★★★★
Hello.

I usually get five Legendary crystals to open all together, so I can get at least one 5* champ from them, since the drop rate is 20%. BUT, last time I did this, I only got (five) 4-star champions. I sent an email to kabam, they answered that the system is complicated, I asked again specifically to tell me if opening 5 crystals with the 20% percentage really works, a simple yes or no, another gereric answer and a link to the FAQ page.

Can anyone help me with this, anyone encountered a similar problem maybe? I m uncollected, and spending 5000 4* crystal shards every 10 days is not worth it if I can't get one 5* champ.

Thank you in advance,

Spyros

    That’s not how it works no where does it say that after 5 you get a guaranteed 5*
    It’s 20% per crystal
    20% for the first one
    20% for the last one
    Simple as that
    5k 4* shards for a legendary crystal is a stupidly bad offer

    Ok, maybe that's the case, I was thinking of that, but shouldn't they be more specific about it? Plus, it's not exactly a bad offer, I pay for the sigil to get them from the black market.

    Actually, they are specific about it. RNG doesn't work cumulatively. Meaning, 5 Crystals at 20% doesn't equal 100%. It's 20% chance per Crystal.

    In your case, odds of getting “at least” one 5* champ from 5 Legendary crystals (listed drop rates of 20% v 80%) is only 67.2% chance.

    I've opened 3x yesterday, and got 3x 5-stars out of it.
    It happens sometimes

    That's pretty interesting, thank you!
