i have about 9,300 5 star shards and i always seem to get bad luck from regular 5 star hero crystals. I have 3 5 Star hero champs. Winter Soldier, Colossus and Red Guardian(awakened). i got the red guardian from a featured hero crystal and awakened him from the mutant treasure Island.
I have
Colossus 5 star Rank 3 (unawakened)
Punisher 2099 4 star Rank 5 (unawakened)
Winter Soldier 5 star Rank 3 (unawakened)
Red Guardian 5 star Rank 2 (awakened)(sig level 20)
Iceman 4 star Rank 4 (awakened)(sig level 50)
Cap IW 4 star Rank 4 (awakened)(sig level 40) (idk how to play efficiently)
Venom 4 star Rank 5 (unawakened)
Dormammu 4 star Rank 4 (awakened)(sig level 8) (idk how to play efficiently)

It would be a great help to know which champs to use and why and if the 5 star featured crystal is worth it.

    You are too early on in your roster development to be wasting 5000 shards on a featured. There are a ton of good champs that you could pull in the basic pool that would be game changing for you and still be half way to pulling another champ.

    Even unawakened... keep investing in that Colossus, his immunities alone are going to pull you through a lot of content. Caltrops, bleed and bio hazard are common in the content you will be facing.

    You don't get them quickly. Takes time to acquire them.
    And I fully agree with Corkscrew. Don't waste an additional 5000 shards on a featured when you're halfway to a second 5*. It's only worth getting the featured once you've already built up a decent sized 5* roster.

    Where you up to in story mode? I have been going dual class for 5* chasing a mutant as I have an awakening gem but have now got around 9-10 skill champs (falcon awakened), I’m really struggling on 5.1.6 and think one good pull could push me over the line

    What tier do you usually finish?
    Spend your glory on T5C and T2A to increase your resources.

    i did that today but is that the only way?

    Because your only on Act 3, yea I think so. You need to complete more story mode.

    Definitely go for basics. It’s not worth it to open featured until you have a large roster.
