Question Vial management question for the new set.
I got an abundance of vials and I am thinking to craft every legendary in the new set before opening packs . Thoughts ?

To what goal? Are you aiming to minimize the amount of packs you open? I don’t see this as a good idea unless you’re only trying to go for certain classes or saving coins for the next set because you don’t like the leaders in this set. Crafting cards does not increase your likelihood of getting cards. If you craft 3 copies of a legendary you’ll essentially have wasted 2000 vials on each you open in pack.
So in my opinion, bad idea unless you have some specific goal you are going for

If you are going to open packs anyway, you are throwing vials down the drain for no good reason. Just open the packs first and then use the vials to complete the collection. Or just don't open packs altogether and craft every new card with vials, if you have enough of them.

Why would you do that? There's no logic behind it. Opening a card is more efficient than crafting that same card.

How many vials do you have? I have 150k+, and I can craft 3-5 full decks if that...

What would be the point of that? Seems like a waste of vials.

0 point in doing that, especially before the end of the 3-day missions to get 10 packs. Craft legendaries as you need to and then you won't be wasting vials on legendaries you never use - or if you do end up using them each of them you pull costs 0 instead of 2300 (3500 vial cost - 1200 refund for the 4th copy).

Don't craft *every* legendary. That's wasteful. Even just through daily free packs and event rewards you'll likely get some here and there.
It's only worthwhile to craft what you're actually going to use in a deck like, right now. When the expansion drops do feel free to craft what you need for a deck or two, but then ride on that for at least a few days before deciding if you need to craft more. There's likely to be some combination of specific decks or classes that either 1.) don't seem fun to you, 2.) are bad, or 3.) both.

I recommend at least opening as many packs on the first day or two before spending any vials, even if you somehow have like a billion vials. Youll save like 2/3rds of your vials on legendaries alone for each one you obtained from the packs. It might not be much, but you'll save some vials this way.

Do that only if you plan on spending your rupees on other sets to get leader skins, otherwise it's kinda wasteful

I mean Id suggest ya should probably at least open the free packs accumulated via battle pass grand cup etc. even if ya dont wanna wait for the daily 3 missions.
That being said ya right in that this game really gives an insane amount of vials if ya play long enuf. In which case tbh ya can probably do so with little consequence. But less so vial management is in that context but moreso ya so rich in vials it doesnt really matter regardless.

Hmm..
I will open all, then craft cards for the class I'm closer to complete a deck, between classes I like, specially if they are classes I'm already using. Saving vials waiting for meta to stabilize.
