It dawned on me after doing my first account’s marquee run that the free shard compensates for 14 shards from two 1299 crystal packs, saving an extra 1299 just to get over the 4 star hump. 28/30 after a 5 shard pull feels worse after that!

Thanks!

Do you have a view on what’s the better path to 6* day one?

A) ascension + $30 pack

B) $30 pack + $60 pack (assuming there’s one nice you do the $30)

When you start you're at 15/30 shards [3 -> 4 stars].

You'll need 165 shards to get to 6 stars [and at 6 stars you'll get the +10 shards which will bring you to 10/100].

You'll also receive +20 shards on day 1 when going from 3 -> 4 stars and from 4-> 5 stars, meaning you'll need to purchase 145 stars to make it happen.

I'm not sure if there is a $60 pack or not but presumably it's also $1/shard - Meaning feasibly it depends on which set of packs you prefer the "extra" stuff from. However remember you're only accounting for 90/145 shards.

Yes. Theres also the 20 shards on the pass (which I got anyway). It sounds like CG went back to a more expensive marquee structure where you need around $145 to unlock first week

The "new marquee structure" has always needed 145 shards to unlock.

Though, if your only goal is Mace Windu you can get away with finishing day 1 at 70/85 instead of 10/100 - And using next week's Era Battles to make up the rest of the shards you'll miss.
