ⓘSelect how many Super Refinements you perform each week. This setting determines the value of Refined Fire Crystals (rFCs) throughout the site.
ⓘAdjust how heavily RSS values are weighted.
0% = RSS are worth $0.00.
100% = RSS are worth their implied value from City Lifeline packs.
Prior to T12, I modeled RSS at 0%. With the introduction of T12 troops, RSS became significantly more valuable. I currently use 25% as my baseline assumption.
Regularly Scheduled Packs
Recurring pack families with fixed rewards, selectable options, and value comparisons against baseline item values.
These tables show which pack options provide the best return against baseline item values.
Green = best return, Red = worst return
Mix + Match
Each pack includes fixed items plus three selectable choices. Values below assume all three selections are spent on the same option.
Fire Crystal and 1h General Speedup quantities have diminishing returns at higher prices.
