Best Event Kabam Has Ever Done

This Banquet Event is honestly one of the best events Kabam has done. The value for the units spent is amazing. And opening crystals was so damn fun with the grace system.

I lost count of how much stuff and new champs i got while opening crystals: basic nexuses, titans, Agems, cats, etc etc.
If you accumulate all the rewards combined crystals, milestone rewards and ranked rewards you will notice how crazy the value vs Units spend is.

The milestone rewards are amazing too.

I Got scoprion from the Box.
The only thing that would make excel this for me even further, would be getting that Hulkling from my last key.
But anyhow this event is a massive W in my opinion.

Kudos Kabam, and big thanks To karateMike.

Congrats to you! Wish I had the same experience. It’s always fun opening the crystals but I definitely didn’t have the RNGods on my side today.

These posts are always well and good, but if you don’t pull anything of value once in a while it sours a major opening like this event even further.

Hoarding units all year to do a massive opening and getting very little that will further your account just pushes people further away.

The one positive that came out of this entire event is the extra 100 sig stones from the alpha shard jubilant crystal. That is really the only thing I am looking forward to.

What were you hoping to pull that you didn't pull?

Defo the best banquet oat started with 329 units as tb and got 7* Valkyrie and mr night any other year starting at 329 units wouldn’t be worth much thank you kabam

BeastDad

For 18k units, a hell of a lot more than I did.

The highlights were:

7 t4 alpha

3 tier 7 basic

25% of a tier 5 alpha (obviously looking forward to the few hundred sigs in a few weeks)

Awakening shards that I absolutely do not need.

I got a small amount of titan shards and a good deal of basic 7* shards and crystals which I did not need. Thor Jane foster, x23 and abs man are fine but nothing I’m dying to have.

I don’t see how anyone is calling this event a massive win, but to each their own.

I’ve loved this event too, huge W in my book

I’m super happy with it. I do wish I could get weapon x, but there’s still time. Got a first appearance Hulkling, as well as Scorpion from a gala crystal, and duped both. Super super happy with that.

Top 600 could be super expensive. But if there sale from the 23rd is solid, I’ll give it a good shot. The rewards are really worthwhile.

LOL Congratulations to the people who pulled Hulkling today — I fought a duped, 7r4 Sig 200 in BGs, and HOLY SMOKES

That is a rough ride people — say whatever you want about my skills, but that is a rough ride 😅😅

I'm quite happy with what I've gotten. However, what surprises me a bit is how relatively few rank-ups I've actually done as a result of laying down 20k units on this. I came into the event with enough t7b to rank up one champion to r4, and after spending those 20k units, I've made a total of two r4 rank-ups. So essentially, I've only made a single Banquet-enabled r4 rank-up. I also currently have enough t7b to r4 another champion, but am lacking t4a. There are six more t4a in the Realm event so I should be able to do that second Banquet-based r4 rank-up, and then there's a generic 3-4 gem at the top of the Realm event, so that makes a total of three Banquet-based r4s.

That's not bad, but it's certainly different compared to last year where it felt like I ranked up half a dozen or more champions. Not necessarily to r3, but at the very least to r2. However, this year, since there is such a t4a drought, I've really had to prioritize between ranking up newly-pulled champs to r3 or pre-existing champs to r4. Even if I have enough t7b to take my new shiny champions to r4, it's hard to do when they're stuck at r2.

I would have loved, say, a Founder's Keeper 2-3 gem or something to alleviate that t4a stress a bit. It's not a massive problem or anything, but it's noticeable and ever so slightly annoying nonetheless.

But that's a minor nitpick in the grand scheme of things. I'm very happy with the stuff that I've pulled beyond just rank-up materials, and despite what it may have sounded above, I am very satisfied with the rank-ups I have actually done today. Overall I think it's a significantly improved experience over last year. I'm probably about as happy with the rewards that I ultimately ended up with this year as I was last year, but the journey there was much more pleasant this year since the actual crystal opening was a lot more satisfying. I really liked the grace system. Beyond just working well as a way to guarantee better pulls, it also allowed you to pool a bunch of top-tier prizes for a very satisfying final hooray. That made the big crystal opening close (aside some stray crystals that'll trickle in over time as the other events progress) with a bang rather than last year's barely audible whimper.

I really liked that.

I'd say I've done alright so far myself. Also managed to awaken Franken-Castle, Spider-Ham, Black Widow (DO) and The Overseer.

For 14k units i got midrod (the banq champ i wanted the least), some relics, sigs, maker and a few cats. One of the worst openings in my life

Oliver345781

No. Spring cleaning 2025 was the best

Montycarlo

All the people that pulled Scorpio -hulkling-nimrod going yippie ya 😂 😂 😂

Al the people like me pulled jane foster, X23 🤮 or Valkyrie (since KP is here) f this event. And f y'all for giving me trash even after spending 500$ worth of units on this event

ValarDohaeris

It is a Amazing banquet Event. Not got what i really wanted from the Box. But thats how it works with 2 keys 😅 maybe my third one will present me hulkling or scorpion 🤞🏼 got nimrod and valk. Both really good champs by the way. I think its preference which one you want badly.
Look at andrewtheruff, he showed Jane can be a banger.

Really good work from kabam out of my perspective. Got 8 T7B for the Rank ups out of the milestones and the Jubilant crystals. With a little bit luck i will get at the end 3 Rank 4. so Thats a win 🚀 maybe i Rank up Nimrod and have fun with him and shred some mutants 😄

Banquet is always RNG dependent so best is really your personal experience
