whether it is garbage, depends solely on redeemables. Also the only way to go for this event, is to draw x10 each time. There was one time where medium refine runes were about 16-17cp/1, which is only slightly worse than 15cp/1 with max discount from treasure of the sage. Additional chance of jackpot items also swings that to lucky stars side. Last time at/nin mangatamas were also cheaper than max discount in current treasure of the sage. We will see tomorrow whether its good or not.

Refines pack averages for me at 60cp/pack (which is 20/1 medium or 30/adv), which is kinda meh. On the flipside, tendo drops left and right, so its a good event for people, who still miss 1-2 frags and dont want to wait 1-2 months for next UT stages, which Germany already has.

It's not really an ammount to make valid deductions from, but 2 low lvl players got Minato on my server. Also on my alt server, another low got one and alt of my groupmate on yet another server. There's a thread in General Discussion with another low. Seems like the thing that happened with itachi uchiha in the wheel about a year ago, where low lvls were able to get him to 4-5* with basically no cost (he was a good ninja back then). By all means, I'm not saying it's a bad thing, it's better than no drops whatsoever. I'm happy for those players, it's surely a nice incentive to catch up and I'm sorry for all the players that got them on their alts. Hope fortune will favor us eventually

LM's has only 2 things that support minato: anbu tactics and 4th mystery. If you are faster on pos1 and use 4th mystery at the end of the turn, that guarantees aoe minato's mystery. Other than that, minato is used mostly as a tagger and without hidan/ay the only synergy left is konan. Without mentioned ninjas, you can utilize him better with a main, that actually is a support (wind- buffs, earth- survivability and double attack, also buff when shielded, water-heal + poison).
