I spent 150 € at the beginning, bought some chromium cards and got Old Ben, Tarkin, Kit Fisto, Plo Koon and some shards. Maul, Dooku, Bariss, Ackbar and Boba came from free bronzium cards.
Most of the bought chars dont make it in the arena team but they are useful in GW
How much do you need to invest in average to get a chromium character 6-7*
It depends on how farmable the character is. I initially purchased Kylo Ren and farmed him all of the way to 7*. Some other characters such as Aayla and Ima I have spent around $1,000 and still have not gotten temperature again to star up. I also still have not unlocked Lando. I keep getting Jawa and Ewoks from the chromium packs so it is a crap shoot. The packs are great initially to unlock characters, but then it is a dimishing return.
I've spent just under $200. Got mostly crap, or good stuff that I won't be able to keep levelling.
4* Lando (This was my 1st pull and still my best)
4* QGJ
4* Cad Bane
4* Nute
4* Boba
3* Veers
3* Aayla
3* Biggs
3* IG-88
3* Opress
3* Snowtrooper
2* Kit Fisto
2* Ahsoka
2* Ewok Elder
2* IG-100
I've spent $45. $5 on dooku pack and $40 on crystals to use on extra energy, 8xchronium packs are a waste of time unless your gonna throw down $200 plus.
I did some math this morning and you'll need about $1k to 7* a few of the Chromium exclusive characters. That's based on drop rates and the number of characters that exist today. Character shards for Leia, Kit & QGJ drop more often than Lando or Rey it seems. That's based on probably 100k+ worth of data from some of our top FTB players.
If you're not going to spend over a grand, I suggest just using your cash to refill various energy and pvp battles.
2 x $30.99 (AUD) crystal packs to spend on 8x chromium packs = $62 (AUD)
+
1 x $6.95 (AUD) crystal pack that gave you something like 165 crystals every day for a week
Total: $69 (AUD) same price as a AAA PC game, so I've justified that to myself, not going to pay any more though.
Of the two chromium packs I got pretty much crap although I did score Rey, levelling her now, not sure if I like her or not. I think I need to level my Poe to make her better.
When I first started out I couldn't resist buying Dooku for £5. Since then I've only purchased the crystal pack for 220 crystals which is £1.99 in the UK. Have probably spent £50 in total and I'm happy with the characters I have. Currently running the following lineup for arena battles:
Sid 7* Gear VII
Lumi 6* Gear VI
JC 6* Gear VIII
Dooku 4* Gear VIII
Ventress 5* Gear VII
I spent $200 when I was around level 55 as GW was filled with level 60 teams and I didn't have the bench to make it all the way through. I got:
kit 4*
Leia 4*
QGJ 4*
And the big win was old Ben who starts at 4*. Even at 4* with the rest of my team at 6 or 7 he is extremely useful.
I also got a bunch of others that allowed me to unlock Vader. I use all of these units to some degree for GW.
QGJ at 4* is awesome as a leader for a "take the damage team" in the new GW setup. He will die but he is taking 3 characters with him.

People who spent money in the game and...
P2W, people with issues...
