With so many people getting 6 stars now from cavalier crystals...

Is the 5 star gem even worth the 5000 Intel anymore 😅 I haven't pulled a 6 star yet in my 12 cavalier crystals but hopefully that'll change 😅

    5* gems are still hard to get. I think it's worth it.

    It also depends on how many champions you have that would benefit a lot from being awakened

    May not be your situation, but I will spend my Intel on 6* shards to top off a crystal and T2a shards. But I have 5 5* AGs across 4 classes. What I need are champs I can use cats on.

    With these types of markets, worth it is always relative to where you're at and what you need most. It all just depends on what would serve you best where you're at now. I always look at two things: 1) what would save me the most time, and 2) what is the rarest.

    Here's an answer I don't think you'll want to hear. Today, I think it is worth it. But one day, maybe in a year, maybe two, it won't be. Do you do things to maximize your benefits today, or are you the kind of person that looks back years and regrets doing things in the past that aren't as good of a decision today?

    Everyone has to balance the needs of today and the obsolescence of tomorrow. And everyone balances that differently.
    Yes that's a very good point..





    That's my roster as it stands, planning on taking corvus and potentially wasp to r2 eventually since 6 stars are the future... But I have aegon, korg, Killmonger, omega, emma and more who would hugely benefit from a dupe not to mention I have a R4 to 5 skill gem from variant just sat around as well as multiple r3 to 4 gems... So for me, maybe... Or can focus on 6 stars but everyone is different

    Very true Zola! As mentioned everyone is in a different position... I think the t2a and t5b will benefit me more than the gem, since only 2 classes stand out where a gem is needed (mutant and skill) I currently have 3 cosmic 5 star gems and 1 mutant just sat there too (which I planned to save if I ever got a havok or sinister ... Tough to say for sure!

    I mean, if you wanted to, you could test the RNG for a Skill or Cosmic. However, I wouldn't say it's a great necessity at your stage considering you have a number Awakened. It all depends on what you want.

    My rng has been very up and down... But I suppose you have a point! But again with 6 stars being more available it's the decision of whether a 5 star gem would be that beneficial or getting a short way towards another r2 6 star for the future! 🤔

    TBH, I'd go with the rarest Mats in your case. At least you know you'll use them no matter what. Too risky to try for a Gem and get the Class you don't want.

    Those champs...I think I just soiled myself. I feel weak.

    Lot of champions need high signature level, so they will be better as 5stars for long time
