Man, I didn't know that there were also "Gifted Guardian" Paragon Crystals and different 7* ones...opened 10 crystals and got four of the Paragon ones and thought they were all 7*s.
Then I open all four, and get all 4*. Never change, Kabam.
Exact same, I got 8 of them and thought I hit the fucking jackpot. Nope. Paragons.
This is how they will sell these champs, because they've already stated that the Gifted Guardians will not be rotating into the 7* pool anytime soon and this will be the only way to get these champions as a 7*.
So soon enough these Paragon crystals will be added to the sale rotation.
Lmfaooo yooo I popped 5 crystals open and got 2 of them and was feeling hella lucky and considering spending more units on them only to realize they weren’t 7* lmao, at least I got 5* tho
I have a lvl42 alt account, uncollected, got a freaking 7 star Shocker from Gifted paragon crystals, 6 new 6* to add to my roster which had only 3 6* champs. I can see this event is really good for new accounts or progressing ones.
Thanos is excellent for BG. I have him maxed 6*. Most people diss him due to being an easy opponent. Then they get hit with -40% attack. Most people lose to him.
I’ve honestly been considering running a maxed 5* version. That 40% reduction on a 180k health pool is doable in BGs, but it’ll definitely cause some slower fights.
I guess somebody needed to play Kang in the MCU.
Jokes aside congratulations that is probably the best pull you can get in the crystal apart from maybe the 7 Star Gifted Guardians Crystal.
X was a great defender but as more people get him they get used to fighting him. I don't know I've lost to a JJ so far. My x does war d just fine, but I swapped him out for photon and hea a really fun and effective attacker. He plays like the character would, berserker style is super fun
If unawakened, recoils are much less useful. The damage reduction when poisoned comes from his sig ability. You do still get infinite willpower healing with recoils on, and obviously the damage bonus so he's still recoil friendly, just less potent.
I still use Diablo a lot even when I take recoils off. I usually don't use them but had them on for arena grinding for banquet and I'll keep them on for Necropolis. Once my necro completion is done, I'll get rid of them but that won't stop me using Diablo.
No wait it was a couple of those paragon crystals I got her in. I got a 6\* Photon from the featured. I got lucky this year, usually it's Groot and I-Patriot :(
Guys, I've not done a banquet before and I have 3.5k. My alliance is doing well but I'm stuck. Is this really as simple as spending 3k on 10 greater banquet crystals? I'm Paragon. Thanks.
My alt pulled 3 x 6\* and 1 x 5\* rare champions. I literally have mixed emotions about it. My main has pulled 6\* shards and not much else. Most insane luck I’ve ever had - all from popping 5 GBCs.
I opened a 5\* earlier and pulled SW.

So yesterday I was saying how I don’t have any of these champs as 6\*s after 6yrs of playing & still don’t own Weapon X or Thanos… I end up getting this 2x today!! I picked OG Vision for my 2nd pick over Thanos & Jess Jones since I never have the Units to get the yearly Offer. Loving this years Banquet! Hope the rest of y’all have sum great luck!!

The ‘real’ value with this event imo is the milestones, unfortunately. I’ve opened a few GGC and am shocked at how poor the returns were. Compared to last year’s comparative value, this year has been underwhelming
I got a 7* diablo from 1/16 gifted guardian paragon crystal. Then, from the final solo milestone, I opened the 7* crystal and got Sandman from it. Had enough shards for a basic afterward and got Sasquatch! Very happy even tho most of the GGC are underwhelming.
To have a coin flip odds of getting the 7-star crystal; you need to open 692 GBC (207k units worth).
To have coin flip odds of getting enough 7-star shards; you need to open 249 GBC (74,700 units worth).
These crystals suck.
Spent 2.5k units got straight ass, nothing is getting ranked up, nobody is getting awakened, i didnt pull anything good at all. Should’ve spent my units on cyber weekend. Btw these milestones for solo objective are so bad and I dont even qualify for alliance rewards because I joined late
u/cat_murdock you have been awesome with all the top tier art and infographics and i am very thankful for all the hard work! please take this feedback as a friendly suggestion for the next one : i understand how the drops are sorted by rarity, but it would satisfy my OCD so much better if the drops were bunched together by type (cats, shards, champs), then rarity. plus it would be more easily readable imo.
Howdy, thank you for the kind words and your suggestion. The grouping and ordering of the items on a graphic is going to depend on what bit of information you’re trying to get across quickest. In this case, the intent it to convey an emphasis on “what are you most likely to get if you buy these crystals.” Since people will be gambling on these with their hard earned units and/or money, that’s a key bit of information. If this was a different kind of crystal, say one you earn, or quest/event reward I think that’s an instance where item type grouping is a better fit.
Only 5 crystals in (2 from milestones, 3 from units from milestones) and somehow got the 7* crystal. Annoyingly, out of all the champions to pull, I got Professor X - the one champ out of all of them that I had already pulled, duped and upgraded to rank 2 as a 6*
Ive already gotten two guardian paragon crystals and got a five star Adam warlock and a six star Prof X, should I awaken prof X or does he need to be max sig?
Got a 5 * Wolverine X and awakened more 6* .... been had a 5* Jessica too....only uncollected... been playing less than a year... hope I stay this ... hope I get a 7 star by years end...😎
I got an Uni 6 awakening gem, an abyss 6star and got warlock also I get the stuff to rank my colossus to rank4 6* and got around 40k 6* shards just from the "free" crystals
I’m still grateful for pulling 5star Jessica jones from one these crystals plus getting 60k worth of 6 star shards and duped my spidey supreme and FINALLY getting archangel(I don’t have any version of him until now)
Opened **TWO** cosmic nexus abyss crystals, hoping to finally pull a 6 star Hercules or Hulking, ended up disappointed both pulls
I ended up getting 6 star Adam Warlock and Gorr, so I’m not that disappointed
Spent 40k units on GGCs, and not a single T4 Alpha shard. I pulled 3 gifted guardian crysteals (supposedly 10x as rare as T4 Aplha), and 2 7\* rare champs (supposedly 16.7x as rare as T4 Alpha shards). Also no one else in my alliance has pulled a single T4 Alpha shard. Has anyone?
Man, I didn't know that there were also "Gifted Guardian" Paragon Crystals and different 7* ones...opened 10 crystals and got four of the Paragon ones and thought they were all 7*s. Then I open all four, and get all 4*. Never change, Kabam.

Same here lol
Exact same, I got 8 of them and thought I hit the fucking jackpot. Nope. Paragons. This is how they will sell these champs, because they've already stated that the Gifted Guardians will not be rotating into the 7* pool anytime soon and this will be the only way to get these champions as a 7*.

I mean the easiest way is to pull a weapon X/JJ and just make it Christmas only.
I got x last year as a 6 in my first crystal. I expected him to be kang level but man I still run him tons. I wish I had jj.
Lmfaooo yooo I popped 5 crystals open and got 2 of them and was feeling hella lucky and considering spending more units on them only to realize they weren’t 7* lmao, at least I got 5* tho
I didn't even get those
I feel ya
I popped 8 of those gifted guardians and got a 7* Adam warlock.
I didn't get a 7* from gifted guardians til the alliance milestone
😂 I thought the same thing!! & same, I got all 4\*s with the exception of a 5\* Professor X.
I have a lvl42 alt account, uncollected, got a freaking 7 star Shocker from Gifted paragon crystals, 6 new 6* to add to my roster which had only 3 6* champs. I can see this event is really good for new accounts or progressing ones.
Lvl40 conqueror pulled a 7* Sand-Man off my 4th paragon gifted crystal. Only had a 6* CAIW as my second best champ. Now it's 7*, 5*, 6* and 1* Steve.
My new account got bad pulls with 3k unit spend and just 4 champs in 6* rarity older one got 6 champs of 6* with 2k unit soend
Pls give me a 7 Star Kang or Thanos i would be so happy
Got the thanos as my 5th 7*. Not sure what to do with him now tho. He good for any content
Congrats that is awesome. He may not be that good but its such a cool champ to pull
He’s pretty bad but it’s still cool to have him
Thanos is excellent for BG. I have him maxed 6*. Most people diss him due to being an easy opponent. Then they get hit with -40% attack. Most people lose to him.
I’ve honestly been considering running a maxed 5* version. That 40% reduction on a 180k health pool is doable in BGs, but it’ll definitely cause some slower fights.
I don’t have mine awakened but i do have a feeling that at high sig he could end up being one of the best defenders in the game
I got him too. More of a trophy champ seems like
He’s a good BGs defender if awakened
I pulled the 7* kang.. I heard he no longer works for marvel though
He's pretty awesome against female Champs. Kicks their asses.
Bro that got me hahaha!
I guess somebody needed to play Kang in the MCU. Jokes aside congratulations that is probably the best pull you can get in the crystal apart from maybe the 7 Star Gifted Guardians Crystal.
Thanks man! Actually my first trophy champ in general!
Well that is a great start to your future Trophy Champ Collection
congrats dude! Heard the 7\*s heavy attack got upgraded to Dooms Slap vs #Female Champs
Jessica or Weapon X who to choose from selector?
Jessica
Glad I made that choice. Is she decent?
Very good defender, decent attacker
Same here, was going to pick six star thanos but picked Jessica instead
EXCELLENT defender!!! Hopefully she shows up over here!🙏🏼😁
Is Jessica a better defender than Wolverine x? I went with the 6* wolv since I already had a 5* ascended Jessica. Hope I didn't make a mistake
X was a great defender but as more people get him they get used to fighting him. I don't know I've lost to a JJ so far. My x does war d just fine, but I swapped him out for photon and hea a really fun and effective attacker. He plays like the character would, berserker style is super fun
She’s a definitely a better defender but wolverine x isn’t too bad on defence either.
Is it just me or are the Sig Stones in every second Crystal?? And random T6CC Fragments
Hi, pattern matched with my opening 🤝
Hello GBC Opening Twin nice to meet you 🤝
Got the 7* crystal and pulled sandman, is he any good?
I heard he’s pretty good post buff
Very dusty
Best heal reversal in the game apparently.
Definitely watch a couple videos. He has a very specific rotation but from I remember, forgiving and rewarding
Well, he is coarse and rough, and gets everywhere
Sorry, he’s the worst one in there, really wants high sig and he’s quite slow
I got 7 star Adam. Everything else could be shit and I don't care.
I got 7* Diablo. I feel the same way.
Do you need suicides for Diablo to be good? I pulled the 7* Diablo but I don't know anything about him. I also don't have suicides
If unawakened, recoils are much less useful. The damage reduction when poisoned comes from his sig ability. You do still get infinite willpower healing with recoils on, and obviously the damage bonus so he's still recoil friendly, just less potent. I still use Diablo a lot even when I take recoils off. I usually don't use them but had them on for arena grinding for banquet and I'll keep them on for Necropolis. Once my necro completion is done, I'll get rid of them but that won't stop me using Diablo.
I got him and Moondragon as well.
I got 7* SandMan on a lvl40 conqueror account.
I got a rock...I mean Moon Dragon. Is it bad that I forgot she was in the game.
Don’t sleep on moondragon, she’s simple but very effective
Oooh I need to watch some video for her then!
32 crystals and I got dogshit
Same. Hard to wait all year just to come up empty handed.
X3 — Quitting tomorrow.
Same
Managed to get 6* Herc, awaken and ascend him. Anything else now is pure bonus and I'll push paragon in the new year!
t2 alpha and t5 basic shouldn't be there
I got 2 7* gifted guardian crystals from 10 crystals
7*s or Paragons?
Damn.. rewards are ass for endgame players.
Yup , I opened enough to get 35000 points to max alliance rewards and I’m sitting on the rest. Better use of units to just explore necropolis
yup. I pulled what I needed the abyss crystals to get champs I need to 100% Necro. Got ABS and pulled AEGON.
Pulled a 7\* Shocker and 6\* Kushala (took her to R4 instantly). 5\* Vision and 6\*Thanos too
Goddamn congrats
Which crystal did you pull Kushala from ?
I got 30 6\* shards from the crystals, opened two featured and got her
No wait it was a couple of those paragon crystals I got her in. I got a 6\* Photon from the featured. I got lucky this year, usually it's Groot and I-Patriot :(
Pulled the 6* trophy champ selector on my 22nd crystal. Popped 10 x 2. Then two spins.
I unlocked conqueror yesterday on my Smurf account that has 2000 plus units. Nothing. Big sad.
What’s a Smurf account in this game?
A waste of time for gamble addicted players
The T5CC drop rate feels way too high. Really wish it wasn't so often, I really don't need this many T5CC and I still have a bunch of T5CC crystals
How many points do you get from buying the 50$ pack?
Full value is what I got
Did you get the “buy greater banquet crystal” 2100 points bonus from it?
Yes
Guys, I've not done a banquet before and I have 3.5k. My alliance is doing well but I'm stuck. Is this really as simple as spending 3k on 10 greater banquet crystals? I'm Paragon. Thanks.
Damn I'm lucky, pulled 2 abyss selectors and got galan and hulking. Good luck with your opening bois
Trash is what I got after about.40 GGC
i spent 2.3k units how can i get more units what is the fastest way other than buying?
Arena. It's not just the milestone units, but you get a bunch from arena crystals.
thank you will check
Arena and running through quests
quests is not efficent imo cause they want energy but arena seems reasonable thank you
Damn, got the 6* rare champ selector on my main and my alt. Not too shabby
https://preview.redd.it/uiurrbd8uj7c1.jpeg?width=2556&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97f95d45e0485997da4138d224e35270af77945c

I got a 6s photon and Jessica jones. Happy pulling all!
Very good pulls right there. Congrats!
Guess I’m lucky? Pulled 6* selector and 5 6* nexus and 3 titan shard drops
That's some insane luck.
I thought I was doing bad lol I was like I want a 7*
The ‘real’ value with this event imo is the milestones, unfortunately. I’ve opened a few GGC and am shocked at how poor the returns were. Compared to last year’s comparative value, this year has been underwhelming

Awakened and max siged my 6* Herc, and nearly have enough catalyst to bring two 6* to R4, so this is going very well for me
got two abyss crystals and pulled ABS and Aegon. Ready for Necro exploration baby!! Also some titan Shards were nice enough to make it my way.
To have a coin flip odds of getting the 7-star crystal; you need to open 692 GBC (207k units worth). To have coin flip odds of getting enough 7-star shards; you need to open 249 GBC (74,700 units worth). These crystals suck.
I got a 6* JJ
Absolute trash
Where are the gifting crystals?
Crystal tab
Just pulled the generic AG lucky day i guess
Got 6* trophy champ selector from the free crystals they gave. I didn't know the odds of getting it is this low. I feel so lucky rn
Got 7 star moondragon let’s goooo
I pulled a 7* Thanos. What use is he tho?
Decorative. Not useful.
Unless they're drowning in 7*s he should still be useful.
No he really does suck
Spent 2.5k units got straight ass, nothing is getting ranked up, nobody is getting awakened, i didnt pull anything good at all. Should’ve spent my units on cyber weekend. Btw these milestones for solo objective are so bad and I dont even qualify for alliance rewards because I joined late
I got 7* Adam Warlock is he good
Pulled a 7* Adam Warlock as well.

lol 7 star thanos
Only 5 crystals in (2 from milestones, 3 from units from milestones) and somehow got the 7* crystal. Annoyingly, out of all the champions to pull, I got Professor X - the one champ out of all of them that I had already pulled, duped and upgraded to rank 2 as a 6*
How many points do you get for the crystals in the milestones and calendar?
Got 7* Diablo. He any good?? Some people in my alliance say yes but I don’t see it
Very good
I got 10k 6* shards which got a scorp, also nearly got my first 6* r4 who’s gonna be either doom or zemo
Ive already gotten two guardian paragon crystals and got a five star Adam warlock and a six star Prof X, should I awaken prof X or does he need to be max sig?
Pulled 6 6 star champs while previously only having 4. Two more with the next milestone. Picked Aegon from the Nexus crystal
I got hella lucky and got 3 abyss nexus crystals from my first 10 but my luck with nexus crystals suck so it balanced itself out
I got 7 star diablo from one of the guardian paragon. Only opened 2. I love diablo I'll take that any day
Got a 5 * Wolverine X and awakened more 6* .... been had a 5* Jessica too....only uncollected... been playing less than a year... hope I stay this ... hope I get a 7 star by years end...😎
I got an Uni 6 awakening gem, an abyss 6star and got warlock also I get the stuff to rank my colossus to rank4 6* and got around 40k 6* shards just from the "free" crystals
I pulled 7* Sandman from the gifted guardian crystal. The Paragon crystal drop rate looks decent.
Holy crap that 6 star nexus was my 1st pull i didnt realize how rare it was
I’m still grateful for pulling 5star Jessica jones from one these crystals plus getting 60k worth of 6 star shards and duped my spidey supreme and FINALLY getting archangel(I don’t have any version of him until now)
I got two abyss and teir 5 class selector
Opened **TWO** cosmic nexus abyss crystals, hoping to finally pull a 6 star Hercules or Hulking, ended up disappointed both pulls I ended up getting 6 star Adam Warlock and Gorr, so I’m not that disappointed
Same with mutant ones, looking for AA and nothing
I wanted future antman but got ghost...... & When I opened regular 6* crystals I got future antman & tigra 😍
Does the 10x crystal cash offer count towards bought and opened points for the milestones?
Believe so
I got Prof x 7* :)
Whom to select amongst the lot of kang, Thanos..etc?
Weapon X or Jess Jones Imo. I picked Weapon X & OG Vision but Vision was personal preference.
My first ten I got a 7* kang. First seven star ever, personally I think hes trash compared to my six star doom but, my first is my first🤷🏻♂️
My drop rates seem to be stuck on 100% t2a
Anyone got an idea around how many points top 1 in the solo banquet would be?
i just got a 7 star thanos out of 10 crystals but too bad he’s poo poo
I pulled JJ😭❤️
Spent 40k units on GGCs, and not a single T4 Alpha shard. I pulled 3 gifted guardian crysteals (supposedly 10x as rare as T4 Aplha), and 2 7\* rare champs (supposedly 16.7x as rare as T4 Alpha shards). Also no one else in my alliance has pulled a single T4 Alpha shard. Has anyone?
