Summoners!

We've just released some more information on the future of the 5-Star Featured Crystal here: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/43300/upcoming-changes-to-5-star-featured-crystal

We know you've got questions, and this is the place to ask and discuss!

FAQ

Will you announce the pool of 18 each time it changes?
We do plan on sharing the list every time the crystal is updated.

Can you buy the 5 star featured crystal with units or only shards?
This crystal is replacing the currently available 15,000 Shard Featured Hero Crystals.

So does it means that if a new champ comes to the Battle Realm we won't be able to get them as a 5* right away?
You will still be able to get them in the Grandmaster Featured Crystal, but they will not be available in a featured 5-Star Hero Shard Crystal until they are added to this new Crystal. So, this might mean having to wait a little while to get some Champions, but it also gives you a shot at 6 New Champions at a time, as well as a smaller Basic pool.

    So the new 5* feature crystal will only include the 6 champs listed on Feb 13th??

    Are the 18 champs being removed from the basic pool for the duration of the three months or will they be available in both the basic and featured crystals?

    So does it means that if a new champ comes to the Battle Realm we won't be able to get them as a 5* right away? We will have to wait until they are added to the new 5* featured and than go for it? So there won't be any 5* featured crystal for new champs of Feb?

    Good move with this blade cystal. Nice canche BTW.

    Is there any logic to who the 18 other champs will be? Such as will they follow a pattern of previously released champs or will they simply be chosen by Kabam?

    So we can still buy this with shards, or how can we receive this crystal?

    So does it means that the last new 5* Feature Crystal will be VOID? (I know it sound like it is explained in the post, just making sure where to use my crystals)

    All that is cool. But when will 6* champions come out
  • SpiritOfVengeanceSpiritOfVengeance Member Posts: 2,353 ★★★★
    I still do not understand what this crystal will contain. Will it be worse than the old featured crystal
  • HulksmasshhHulksmasshh Member Posts: 742 ★★★
    Just to clarify, will the new 5* featured crystal will have an equal chance at all champions in the pool or have an 'increased' chance at certain champions as the current 15k 5* crystal does? Also, does this mean the sub-feature pool is going away?

    So the new featured crystal is just a new version of the basic crystal that costs 5000 shards more?

    What’s the point? The only way that the new featured crystal is better than the old one is if the old featured crystal had odds worse than 1 in 18 which is what the new one is. I’ve got to say I’m disappointed

    Odds are actually now 4.2% since it will be 1 out of 24 if you're going for a specific champ. Nobody had the exact percentage of the current featured but the community tends to agree that the chance was/is 20-25%.
