I horde my crystals usually, spending them only on 2 power ups for regular energy and 1 power up cantina energy, daily. Currently, I have about 3k. For some reason today, I decided to buy a couple Chromium packs, for the first time. Second pack, I pull 4* Darth Maul. Although I'm psyched, is it really worth it to gear/level/skill him up if I have no plans to buy more packs to star him up?
At 4*, everything maxed, is he viable in anything? I figure eventually, they'll release his shards to Cantina, GW, Shard shop, but I could always level him them, with a head start. Thoughts?

The only exception is if you're new to the game and don't have 5 characters yet. I used a random 4* Tarkin as my 5th, since I could only farm 4 characters when my account was new. If that's the case, he'll give your PVP guys a little boost for the next month or so
Cool pull tho. I'm sure they'll make him f2p and make a Sith challenge down the road
Current roster:
7* Phasma - L70

7* Sid - L70
5* JC - L70
5* Dooku - L70
5* Barris - L70
5* GS - L69
5* Daka - L67
5* Kylo - L66
4* Poe - L65
4* Vader - L63
4* FOTP - L62
4* Boba - L47
5* IG-88 - L40
6* Poggle - L39
2* QGJ - L33
Good point about a Sith Event. So, I might just bring him up to lvl 40ish, gear lvl 4. That isn't too painful. And wait for them to make him F2P. Thanks for the input.
Welcome. With that said, It'd be fun to try to make a team around him at 7*
Get fast assist call allies (QGJ, GS) and throw up a Poe wall. Hopefully Maul comes in for some of the heavy hitting. I doubt it would work, but it'd be fun lol
If Ventress dies first, Maul will attack. if Maul dies first, Ventress will aoe with buff. If none dies before their first attack, game over.

My biggest problem, as you can see from the list above is I keep starting on a character, and then change my mind (or more importantly, the meta changes), and I abandon leveling that character for a new one. I was leveling Poe, until the Yoda event was announced, and scrambled to get QGJ to get Yoda shards. That was a waste. Right now I'm working on Poggle, IG-88, GS, and QGJ, along with several others I'm farming Hard nodes daily (Dooku, FOTP, Boba, Barris). With all that, I can't see spending the mats/droids/credits to level Maul at 4*'s.
This was a video? It looks more like a slide show xD
Darth maul is a beast! Have you seen his aoe damage with boba leader? ^^
But if they add speed for maul he is gonna break the game. Maul + sid aoe is gonna be one-turn KO.
Killing him 1st is the only counter to Maul.
WoW @Nonemo I have seen him hit beastly but that was as good as Rey. Is it due to the defense downs on targets?
Defense down only accounts for a few hundred extra damage points at most. Which is within the normal attack variance.
Maul is good because he crits like 80% of the time, and deals +100% damage to Jedi. And he gains another turn whenever he kills an opponent. Battles can turn very quickly if Maul gets going.
