If you play enough it's easy to get the SC as Bob and Loganspawn have said. I find to pace myself I allow 4 days too complete two hexes. That's one small and one wide. There's also I thought that ads speed it up by being around 15keys of value. I dumped 500 keys on at the start of a new month on a clean bar and it appeared to move it further than it nd should have. I think all bronze chests are registered as 15keys. This is brilliant! I hadn't even noticed the hexes. |

...and I guess we should not have been discussing this as Pix just put a message out that they are REMOVING the Phantom and Behemoth from the Gold chest starting tomorrow. Claim them Gold chests while we can! I will be rushing games to get to 1000 keys today. This brings up a different question. I was planning on saving as many of my operations keys until the end of operations (goes 3 days longer than current black market). That way I could use some, if needed, to get the SC and then be well on the way to another next month. Given the above, anyone think it's worth cashing in some operations keys to roll the dice on a gold chest? I would lose out on the chance of winning keys from those and the odds of getting a phantom or behemoth are probably tiny. I guess my odds of opening two SC are better than rolling a meta bot from a Gold chest. Thoughts? |

Have a look at all the things you want and the things you don't care about in the gold chest. Do the same for the SC. I would choose the one with the lesser chance of disappointment. That's why I go for the SC each month. So far there's 90% chance of getting a bot I don't have. Still probably get the one bot in that list I've already got. The choice is yours still and there's a slim chance you might get one. |

Got my "free" Superchest today. I spent a lot of time grinding though. I got a second Nemesis so it was an easy sell. I think the Gold Chests along the way were better. 10milAg, 2000Au and a Dragoon.

You have to open a lot of Gold Chests to get a weapon. Odds are you'll get Ag and Au most of the time. |

I did speed this up with 300 operations keys, but opened it yesterday! The extra ads for attacks the past few days helped too.  |

Congrats! I knew you could do it. Now that you know the effort involved, is it worth it? Will you shoot for the SC every month? Was it worth it? It was this time, but probably not every month. It's certainly worth it in the sense that you know you'll get a high powered bot and for me right now I'm still guaranteed a bot that I can use, but at some point I'll want to focus on my hangar and weapons. Next month I think I'll open gold chests and use my operation keys to get another SC. After that I'll see if I can open a SC with just ads and gold chests (I also have ~10 key boosters to help me get to the finish line if it's close). Then I think the gold chests will be my main focus to get more NE & Au weapons. So I won't try really hard for a SC until I have leveled my existing meta gear/bots to lvl 9, but it will be worth it until I start getting redundant bots/gear. That said, if I'm grinding an event or operations again I'll probably take the slightly extra effort to grind a SC even if it's not my main priority. |

I pulled another Hedes.....not suprised, as I never get much.
Now that thr Gold chests are nerfed, and there are no bots in them....and SC is an obvious waste of time, I’m done with those. Sorry Pix, my days of watching ads for you are over!

I finally managed my first on in years (haven't done so since that event just after the WW bots when you could use gold instead of event currency/keys).
Anyway, I thought it out, and didn't cash in any keys from the operation (paid for) until the new season rolled over, giving me a head start. All adverts used for bronze. Playing a bit more to get the free viper, so averaging around 10-12 matches per day. Got the super chest 2 days ago. Rolled 3 gold chests and got au, ag and crack. Rest went on bronze chests. Hope that this helps.
