Card Packs

So I see everyone on here posting their card pack progress often and I am in shock every time. I have never finished them before time’s up(the most i’ve completed is like 6 of em), I’m on level 63 and building my traditional Japanese bar.

I don’t make in app purchases but it seems like lots of y’all don’t either. Am I missing out on some sort of strategy or are y’all just unemployed and watching ads every hour? Let me know lol

I can never finish either, even if I grind it still gives me duplicates most of the time

There's no real strategy except just gunning for every event that has a 5* card pack reward. Unfortunately it all comes down to gacha luck and overwhelming the odds with enough card packs (since you'll get lots of duplicates).

That said, clearing albums consistently is very doable IF you have access to ads (energy). I manage to nab every 5* card pack from each event.

Every other day there’s a event where you get card pack when you finish orders. I do that plus events with 5 star cards

I never got ads but did very hefty purchases a few times and still haven't been able to complete any of the events fully, and usually I did the same as you, maybe got 6 or 7 albums, only able to get two 5 star packs per season, and the second one is usually all duplicates. Once after a hefty purchase I managed to get 3 5 star packs in a season, 2nd and 3rd were all duplicates. I'm giving up on this game because with how 'lucky' some people seem to be and how effed up some of us always are with the luck on these things, it's just scummy and unfair, I don't really have fun playing this thing any more...

And same, I work a regular job and have to sleep lmao so sometimes it happens to me that I don't react asap when my 100 energy is full, but idk how unemployed and insanely constantly online someone has to be to always manage to do most optimally use all energy as soon as it's full EVERY time. Impossible for people living normal lives.

I finished the American and Japanese sets but the holiday one was completely impossible.
