So sick of the "wheel of disappointment"!!!! Spend all day saving up keys in the hope that I'll win something worth a damn and time after time I spend 100 keys to win 50.....oh, but just missed two great things on each side. what a bunch of crap. So obviously set to fail 99% of the time. If you are going to make something like this a supposed reward then actually give us something once in a while Oh, I see the pop ups on my home screen saying people have won all the great stuff. I call BULL「dookie」!!!

Ads are free spins so who cares on those...but save up to 1000 keys as this gets less crap and more goodies. Review this...https://wwrpixonic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005155165-Black-Market-details-and-drop-rates
I have dropped a 1000 keys and got 700 back but most often I have gotten components and gold. There is no silver drops for 1000 keys.

I did three Gold spins and one Super Chest last BM, and got squat. For the most part, I've received better prizes on Silver Chest spins. Hell, I just won a Griffin on a free Bronze spin. I didn't need another one, but it's still a decent prize. So why do the Gold Spins?

I too have gotten a 「dookie」 ton of bots and weapons I don't need from Bronze. The worst was I opened Silver chest and got 90 keys like 2 or 3 times and the last one after that was 200k Ag. So now I open Gold and get components, Au, or keys. It's the odds that matter. If you got squat on Gold and Super does that mean you didn't get what you wanted...? Biggest issue with all chests...I get what I don't want or need.

To be honest, I did receive 1,000 Au on one of the Gold spins, but it paled in comparison to a Lance that I received on a Silver Chest a few months ago. Another Gold Chest spin awarded me 500 Inquisitor Components. Big [Fluffy Bunny] deal. The Super Chest awarded me 3,000 Kumiho components. Not great, considering I only had a few hundred prior to that. After all the BM's and events, I still don't have a Dash bot. The Silver Chest spins for the past couple of BM's have been somewhat lackluster as well, aside from the two times that I won 5,000 Gust Components. One on my final Silver Chest spin of last BM, and a Silver spin yesterday. I now have one gust, and am 9/10 of the way to my second. Other than that, meh! I may hold out for one Gold Chest spin just to prove to myself that It'll be another disappointment. amidf seems to think my philosophy about Silver Chests over Gold Chests is misplaced. Well, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and try one more Gold Chest spin.

I'm a fan of silver chests...with the random nature if the black market the more spins you take the better the odds of getting what you want. While getting more keys sucks they do count towards the super chest...my thinking boils down to better a little of what I want then a lot of what I don't.

I have gotten more from the bronze chest than silver. Never won much from the silver, used to be the chest I would spin all the time, so now I save for gold. Bronze chest have given me many silver bots, I can't tell you how many 12,00 silver and so many 5 key prizes I can't count, really run out of fingers and toes every day,but every now and then like once every other week I hit. I have gotten 1000 gold from bronze along with 400 keys which help on the way to the gold chest. With all the free bronze spins it is easier to get to the super chest, plus i get a bunch of free stuff that i don't need so I sell it for silver.

I finally saved enough to do a Gold spin this month...got 800 Haechi components...wuhoo...another 6000 to go...
For the rest of this season, I'm just gonna stockpile it and see what I get after the BM is over. I think this way is better... you don't have that constant disappointment of getting crappy prizes, and when you log in, you get a report of all the stuff you won in absentia and it's more like "oh cool got some decent stuff". Like ripping off a band aid.

I Have been grinding all month for a super chest. I had like the width of my pinky finger left on the bar, I play on a phone. Should have been taken care of by the gold chest I pushed hard to get for the past week and a half. But no it didn't even fill half of the space left. Ooh I had to put it down. I was just shocked. Ridiculous!

Even though the prizes are crap with the bronze spins every bronze spin could be a little gold or more keys which add up to more spins. I tend to get 1 super chest each month this way. Not sure if I could manage two chest or not because I use the videos to speed up builds after I get my monthly chest.

If I remember my math right to get two super chest one would need to play like 45 games a day everyday of the month unless it is February. This doesn't include keys won in game or chest, so that should speed it up. Even if it is like 35 games a day we're still talking over three and a half hours a day average. I based that on 7500 keys per super chest. An average of 7 minutes a game not including watching the ads. Sure one could tank and do it faster but they cab figure their own math out.
I Am at home with a broken leg and I couldn't play that much!

You can use videos to subtract 20minutes from upgrades. The poster above does that rather than rolling bronze chests.

Pardon my ignorance, but where does one find this option. I've never seen this option. Depending on the platform that you play on, you might find it in the top center of your screen, next to the upgrade countdown. At least that's where it is on Android. See the box that says play battles? This box is blue when you can view a video to reduce your upgrade time by 20 minutes.

The trick is to...EXPECT NOTHING. That way you're never disappointed, and those oh, so rare times you actually hit for something useful it's a bonus. It's all free, even the 12k silver and 5 keys.
I almost always spin bronze, and I'm always glad for what I get, even keys, cuz it's one more spin closer to a superchest, from which I've got a Rog and a Galahad so far, nice additions for my Lvl 6 account. I'm about 3/16 of an inch from my 3rd.
I visualize a change jar for each component item, and make a mental "clink" sound every time I get 5, 10 or 15 components for one of them. Eventually it'll all add up to 10,000 and I'll get some new toys.
Keep in mind that Pix knows what you have, what you need, and what you almost have enough components for...this stuff isn't random.

I just wanted amidf to know that his advice for holding out for a Gold Chest spin paid off. I spun a Gold Chest and I was awarded... 600 keys. Now I have 5 days to see if I can reach 1,000 again. That's pretty good. Better than the Gekko I got. I have opened 2 gold chests this season from collecting keys from matches and ad-driven bronze chests. My superchest bar is almost full, but it's not linear, so who knows? 600 keys would have been helpful. I since earned a silver chest which gave back 80 keys. Pretty sure my superchest, should I obtain my first one ever, will give Gust components or something. You know gust? It's the weapon you earned twice over while trying to save up for something else.

It's the weapon you earned twice over while trying to save up for something else. my superchest bar is also some 100 keys away (maybe) , and i have 1.6k keys saved. Now my question is, if i let it auto roll at the end of the season and i get a superchest in the process, then will it also get auto rolled at the end?

I built a graph on an Excel spreadsheet, listing all the component bots and weapons. I also did a smaller one to keep track of my BM keys. I have it all on a spreadsheet of where I keep track of my upgrades. I can tell at a glance where I am and how many more components I need for a particular bot or weapon. Every spin that lands on components moves one of those graph columns up a hair, until that column reaches 10,000.

I just use the keys I get from matches and free spins on bronze chest. you will reach superchest after using 7500key (or open 750bronz chest with ads).
