When did you start focusing more on 6* featured as opposed to basic?

As we get close to the release of the next 6* featured I’m trying to figure out whether to prioritize it or keep going to for basics.
My 6* roster is pretty modest - 22 champs. My roster is at best solid - a number of God tier, but not a lot of BGT nor Meme champs. So, could be worse but also could be a lot better.
My gut tells me I probably should continue to focus on basics to build out my roster and hopefully pick up a few rankable champs vs targeting a narrower set of champs in the featured. Obviously that will change if a decent number of my main 6* target champs end up in the featured, but since I’ve already got a 5* version of Shang Chi and Mr N it slightly reduces the value of the featured gem for me.
So, interested in how you have approached this - when did you flip to more focus on featured vs. basic?
Thanks

Also Featureds make Duping a 6 Star So Much Easier, which is very good for certain Champions that either Require or get a Very Big Boost from their Sig.
As said by others, it's highly individual whether to go for them or not
Opening nine features on Tuesday, aiming to awaken Odin and Shang-chi, and to pull Jabari.
Discount features were the best value of the sigil. You can buy 4 within 30 days if you time it correctly, and that’s a savings of 8000 shards off the top, plus whatever comes with rewards.
Mind, I completely struck out on those Feats, but it was worth the risk. It's a shame that we probably won't see another pool like that for a while.
There are a lot of end game players who haven't gone nearly as hard on the current 6* featured as the previous, so it's not like they switched to featured and never looked back.
Personally, I went for the last featured about 8 crystals deep. Of those I pulled CGR in the first 3 and junk from the remaining 5 trying to awaken him or pull Apoc. Since then I've not gone back to featured because a) I can pull junk from basic and it's less costly and b) none of the current featured entice me enough when there are still so many left to pull in basic.
You need to base your decision on the merits of the crystal and your roster i.e. could be your best chance to dupe a certain champ, get a synergy partner etc etc.
If its particularly close, I'll do basics simply because champion buffs happen and more often than not I update the list with a buff as champions enter different columns.
I don't believe there's a 6* roster number where you start focusing on them. Waiting til you pull X amount of 6 stars is unappealing with how much trash is in the basic pool.
During the last 6* featured I opened them exclusively since it had a good ratio of champs id r3. Haven't opened a single of the current featured because there's nothing in it that affects my account.
Right now I'm lacking skill, science and tech r3 options so I'll probably be chasing Shang chi, Mr Negative and silver centurion in the next featured
Then they put him in the basics and I switched back because I didnt get him.
If they put in a champ i really wanted I'd go featured but that hasn't happened since, yet
However, the same thing is likely going to be true in the featured - Shang Chi is great, but already have him as a 5* R5. Most of the other recent new champs I’m not that interested in. Maybe Odin for my Ghost team? So, will probably depend on whether one my other main targets is in the featured. If so then it might make sense, otherwise will probably stick with the basic.
Thanks for all the advice.
Wanted to go for the coming featured for Shang and mister neg, but I already have good skill and science champs as rank 3 candidates. So yeah, I think I'll stick to basics so I can have a decent chance at good mutant and tech champs
