Heya Peeps, been playing since launch however just recently returned to the game. Thanks to my time away I realize that unlocking JTR is gonna be impossible for me currently. I did however see the two First Order packs on the in-game store. I was wondering if it was possible for me to unlock BB8 if I purchased both of those packs? Its alot of money and i'd only even consider spending that much if I knew Id be able to unlock BB8. I currently only have 2 First Order characters (7 star Kylo Ren, and a 1 star First Order Pilot.) Is it possible? Is BB8 even worth it as a character? Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

You can rule out 7 star bb8 pretty much, so my answer is NO, he's not worth having at 5 or 6 stars, if it means spending money. BB8 is a GOD in many aspects of the game, he is insane in raids but they require 7 stars anyways.
Save your money and start farming
Either way thanks..I guess? I’m mainly a f2p player I’ve spent minimal amount of money in-game up to this point so it’s not like I’m aiming to be #1 in the arena leaderboards or top raid damage charts. You’re reading into more than what’s actually in my post. I kept it simple. I have 2 First Order characters unlocked (nothing else no shards/characters) and wanted to know on the basis of just buying the packs if I could “unlock BB8”. Doesn’t need to be 7 stars, doesn’t need to get me to #1 SWGOH player status. Can I unlock him/her/it and is BB8 as a character worth it.
This will cost you around 900 bucks in crystals, with poor RNG you are looking at 1000. And then you'll need to gear someone other than kylo unless you have a gear 10 or better kylo with zeta.
I will say that I honestly can’t believe that I could drop OVER $120 bucks on the 2 packs and STILL not get him. That’s insane. Soooo glad I asked first. If character packs/costs are pretty much the same across the board and not just for this event then I guess I’m gonna just stick to farming and spending the occasional tidbits of money on crystals if I need em. Thanks again

That's another thing, you don't have to farm FO strorm trooper through hard nodes if you go with Kylo unmasked which is 10 times easier to 7 star
Buying the packs are never worth it unless you are already close to what you need and just need the little boost.
If you can afford it, buying $50 worth of Crystal a month, or posting high in your arena shard and ship arena to net a bunch of free crystals and spending it all on cantina and normal energy, look at what events are due to return and use tools like crouchingrancor and swgoh.gg to plan what you can realistically farm in time.
TLDR: Never buy packs for money or Crystal if it can be farmed in game, unless it will push you over the edge to am event unlock before it ends.
Ah wow can’t believe I missed that. Loads has changed in the time I’ve been away but yeah I didn’t notice this. Thanks, KRU seems like an easy win for sure
Yup KRU is much faster than FOST . Last event I was only able to get BB at 5 stars , fiddled with him for a day and went in the closet so not worth it at 5 stars imo. Now Let me ask you what faction do you like and see yourself using in arena? I ask because currently Cantina is packed with priority farms for required event characters. Go to swgohevents.com and look at the requirements and plan out your cantina farms accordingly .
Nice! Thanks so much glad I didn’t waste the money, I prefer dark side guess it’s cuz I gravitate to the characters there more. Trying to work on a full NS team atm
Yeah agreed, kinda sad since these events don’t come around very often so it’ll be awhile is all. Regardless I think it’s pretty insane u can drop that much money AND still not unlock a character. Kinda puts buying the packs in perspective for me since I don’t typically buy them anyways though
Farm up everyone for next time. It's a long farm, but doable. FOST takes forever, so start on him right away.
