We've got some information to share for HQ18. This came into effect on the 24th of November 2022 and will apply to all new and existing Crystals/Content.
Increased Drop Rates
We know you've been asking for a drop rate increase for... hmm.. 6 years? We're now ready to have some improvements to them. The new drop rates are as follows:
- 73% chance to drop a random 2-Star (was previous 88%).
- 25% chance to drop a 3-Star (up from 10.2%)
- 2% Chance to drop a 4-Star (up from 0.8%)
This is exactly the same for Character Crystals. They will also go up from 1.8% to 2%, the same odds as above.
We are aware that it's not great opening a Character Crystal in the hunt for that 4-Star Blurr/Runabout and then when you finally get a 4-Star, out comes the 4-Star Blades/Dirge. Sorry Blades/Dirge. We're now changing that. When you hit a 4-Star in a Character Crystal, you'll get EXACTLY what you're hunting for! Read below...
- 2% Chance to drop a 4-Star (up from 1.8%)
- 25% chance to drop a 3-Star (up from 10.2%)
- 73% chance to drop a random 2-Star (was previous 88%).
And... how the Bot is determined in a Character Crystal:
- 2% chance to drop the named 4-Star character (no random bots!),
- 25% chance to drop a random 3-Star (10% random and 15% named bot),
- 73% chance to drop a random 2-Star (48% random and 25% named bot).
ALL DROP CHANCE CHANGES also apply to COMBATs!
DOUBLE CHARACTER SHARDS!
Alongside drop rates, we're also doubling the number of Character Crystals that you'll be able to obtain from Thursday onwards. Here are the changes;
- 20 for a 2-Star (no changes),
- 200 for a 3-Star (up from 100),
- 1,000 for a 4-Star (up from 500).
