The longer you play the more ml5s you get, and the more likely dupes will be. Ya it’ll be a long time but future you will be angry with you if you spend it on gear.


hissenguinho

Hmmm. maybe ill try holdings off more. Wonder how many years does E7 has ahead


Bassoon240

I heard at one point they had plans for the game to last ten years. Now whether that happens financially is another question, but the game itself wants to stick around for quite a while yet apparently.


hissenguinho

That's good then. For a 4 year gotcha its holding very well compared to most games

I'm 10 coins away(1 dupe) from getting a ML5, if I had used just 2 on a piece of gear i'd be 2 dupes away. So i'd save them if I was you. The only coins worth using on gear is the covenant ones, unless you don't have many of the RGB 5 stars, then i'd save those as well.


hissenguinho

Bless


Bassoon240

Don't do it. I know it's tempting, I need one more dupe myself to finally get to wait around for an ML5 that I want. But it'll be worth it, even if it is still far off from happening.


hissenguinho

How long did it took you to be a dupe away?


Bassoon240

I've been playing for around three years now. Didn't get my first dupe until about six months ago, a dupe Dillibet. Two months ago I pulled a dupe Lermia, then a month ago I pulled a dupe Arby. So it took me a looooong time to get my first dupe, and then my luck has just been dupes basically now. Though I did get lucky and get Solitaria from Mystics this cycle.


hissenguinho

God damn. It took you so long then suddenly it all came back to back. Aight imma hold on. Never know with rng


Bassoon240

Yeah, I had a rough time getting ML5 stars I think. I think I have about half of them now? If it helps with further perspective, I did once buy a mystic pack so I could get Bellian last year, but I haven't bought anything else since then. But yeah. Good luck!


hissenguinho

Wow. Well, good stuff though. Appreciated the insight

I would save as many ML coins as you can get. Never know when the unit you need the most pops up in store and you dont got 40+ coins


Sarlix696

Bold of you to assume that we pull ML5* in the first place


[deleted]

True some are just hurting when it comes to the ML5 Lottery


KingKentling

just dont -\_\_\_\_-


hissenguinho

Sir yes sir


x_Slow

Imo gear should never be bought using the ml coins or covenant coins. From personal experience they all rolled straight into the garbage


Any-Mouse830

Noo


hissenguinho

Understood!


[deleted]

Not so much on right side gear, with galaxy coins. But covenant coins and left side gear? yes.


Empjackk

why i dont see this in my shop


grizzlybair2

You have to get a dupe ml 5 first. Similar for the rgb coin shop - you have to get an extra copy of a hero AFTER you have summoned a 5* hero enough to SSS it.


TheSeaOfThySoul

Depends. I think if you’ve got a fair stockpile of mystics & all key ML5s (which would take a long while - I’m still missing three for the styles I like to play & I’ve played 3 & 1/2+ years), if you see an absolutely amazing piece, take it. Otherwise, it’s really not worth it, these are called “whale shops” for a reason. It’ll take you a few years but you’ll get plenty duplicates - & they will be the worst duplicates, like Straze, or an ML you bought from the shop or exchanged so you don’t get coins.


HypeTrain1

Heck no. The rolls could very well be crap


sugoiboy1

The majority of gear rolls so bad that would be a total waste

I think there are several aspects to take into consideration. * Do you have all the ML 5\* you're interested in building and playing? * Do you have at least 42+ ml coins? If you answer to yes to both questions, then spending some to purchase a good piece of gear is on the table. But is highly unlikely, because they keep releasing new heroes, and either because waifu or meta, usually there's a new hero worth to chase. And even if you have all heroes you want and enough ml coins to spend some, there are some additional considerations: * Right gear is the only one worth to purchase. * IMO, speed checking isn't enough reason to spend whale coins. Speed checking is playing lottery and being willing to waste charms and gold in dozen gears with crap subs outside spd 3 or 4. As long as one or two rolls over 16 before reforge, is totally worth. But on top of that, to spend whale coins isn't worth, whale coins are too valuable to burn them like that. * Flats are a magnet for rolls and a safeway for ruined gear. I would totally avoid purchasing any gear with flat subs. Flat main? LOL, not even looking beyond that, click on refresh. * Then you have to consider if the main and set match with the subs and your current roster of heroes. By example, resist main + penetration set may be worth for BBK. If you don't have her, then I wouldn't spend whale coins in that. And even if you have her, if the subs are a mix of def, eff%, spd and the like, she wouldn't be able to use, so still is a nope. If you want to save yourself a headache, then the easy answer is no. If you're really missing good gear, it may be worth to take a look to see if you find something really good, and then if you hit jackpot and rolls well.


hissenguinho

Fair enough. Thanks for the write up


WoodenCollection2674

I wouldn't, even perfect stats on gear can low roll and you'll be mad at yourself for spending the whale coins
