First off, it is not availability of 6* champions that increases the need for 7* champions, it is the availability of rankup champs for them. If everybody all of a sudden got 30 top of the line 6* champs, but they were all r1, level 1, then it wouldn’t move the needle on 7*s entering the contest. If everybody suddenly got all of the like T5/6/7B, CC, and alpha catalysts they ever needed, that’s what would hurry 7*s in. New rarity champs are ushered in by the previous rarity reaching its peak, not by availability of individual champions.
That being said, flooding the game with easy-access 6*s is its own problem. Thronebreaker crystals even up to the 3-5% range would *massively* increase the rate of 6* acquisition, especially for spenders. I say this as somebody who falls into that category, and I still don’t think it’s a great idea.
I think the answer is to give Thronebreakers a better way of targeting what they want, like dual- or tri-class 6* crystals, or crystals that target like 2015/17/19 and 2016/18/20. I think that would be a far better way of handling the issue.
I also think that Kabam needs to re-examine the way 6* champions become available. From the time of his release, it’s going to take Odin and Mangog nearly 6 months to enter the basic 6* pool. That’s insane. There has to be a better way.
Doubling the price for guaranteed iso? wtf
Also there is absolutely no reason for Thronebreaker crystals yet.
For gods sake, 5* basic arena needed, and a huge overhaul in milestone rewards, before even thinking of introducing a TB crystal.
If they ever introduce TB crystals, that should happen on par with a 6* basic arena, to balance things out.
The gap between whales and ftp grinders is already huge, since Cavalier Crystals introduced, a TB crystal with better 5*/6* odds would kill ftp players instantly, leaving them miles behind whales.
It’s already lame, that someone can acquire multiple 6*s through Cav crystals, while there is no way to acquire them through playing arena 😠
This happened to me when 4* champs were phasing out , I had a total of 6 4* R5 champs I think and was focusing on 3/45 5* champs. Overall, It took a couple of years for me to reap those benefits, but the latest and greatest always takes over the previous roster . For me at this point a 5* champion is a miss. Why? Because I have 3 T5cc I need to use. The cycle never ends.
My own position on this hasn't changed: if you want to remove 3*s from Cav, then any 4* pulls should award ZERO 5* shards. So you'd get class ISO while preventing huge run-up of 5* (and related 6*) shards.
What blows my mind is people complain enough already about the gap between F2P and spenders, but then they want to make it worse by adding an even better crystal?
It seems that you will have to wait for the next title to get access to a throne breaker crystal edition 😉
And then they'll be complaining the game is getting too hard because they see themselves as above average, while the crystal they thought was making them better was actually making them worse.

If the crystal was:
5% 6-star
25% 5-star
30% 4-star
40% 3-star
For the same 300-unit price, TB players get a significant increase in 6-star odds, but still run 20 crystals for a 6-star on average. It’s relevant without being gamebreaking. I think we can agree that about 100/150 6-stars are irrelevant to add to the roster of someone who’s already TB.
Even if a TB crystal drops I still wouldn’t spend units on it.
