I vote for a straight 7% chance per Yellow gem. This still isn’t that powerful, especially for a troop that F2P players cannot get (for like a year). 
That seems pretty powerful considering casting won’t change the board state at all. You could theoretically get into a position, with enough yellow gems, to virtually guarantee infinite (or at least a high number) of extra turns, unless I’m missing something.
@VegaDark541 Guessing you would only get 1 extra turn though, to even it out. Then you would have to refill before casting a second time.
Oh yeah, I forgot about needing to refill mana, so that would force you to change the board state for that.
Good news. The total gems in the elite pass is 435, not 330, so it is even better!
But.
I never spend gems on keys, so giving a gem value to the keys doesn’t work in my case. I do pay for the gem sub, and that sub is cheaper per gem than the campaign.
I don’t buy gem directly though. The campaign is cheaper per gem than those for people who buy tons of gems.
I stand to be corrected, but I believe that extra 105 gems will cost you quite a bit for the Elite+ Pass.
The elite+ pass only exists to make the elite pass look good. Devs want as many players as possible signed onto the elite pass. Expect the rewards to get juicier and an increase to FOMO in the campains ahead.

Whoops you are right. I thought both paid passes gave extra stars.
After the release of this unit by the pass, do we now know or can get an official answer if there is a “normal” way to get it?

It’s a Suncrest troop, so it will likely get added to the standard pool 3 - 4 week after the campaign ends. I suspect there won’t be any official answer, this question already got asked months ago without receiving any response. Apparently their time budget is too constrained for anything but PQ3.
Like in previous campaigns, all troops and weapons will be available in forge/chests 3-4 weeks after the campaign ends. You will have a chance of getting The Sun from any chest starting March 21st or 29th. However, you will only find The Sun from event chests when Suncrest rolls around again AFTER the campaign is over, meaning it could be as long as 40 weeks (34 kingdoms, 10 every 11 weeks, plus 4 kingdoms remaining from current cycle and 3 weeks in current campaign) if it’s the last kingdom in the next cycle.
The entry post doesn’t mention The Sun, only the other items from the campaign, hence the question. Whether this is an oversight in the event description or an additional paywall receiving the silent treatment is currently unknown.
There isn’t any kingdom cycle like in the forge, they are picked entirely at random. Some kingdoms haven’t had an event for close to two years.
I see what you mean now regarding The Sun. Guess we’ll find out in 2 weeks when someone that hasn’t bought the campaign pass either gets the troop or doesn’t. My guess is that it was an oversight because they wanted to write more about how The Sun fits into the Major Arcana and all that and that it will only be available 3-4 weeks later. It seems weird to me that they would put something in the Elite Pass which will (conveniently) be available 1 week later. But stranger things have happened.
I was referring to the weapon cycle, which pertains to kingdoms which in turn has a cycle. For troops, while there is a cycle, I agree that it isn’t affected by kingdoms.
Me too. There isn’t any kingdom cycle. Event chests and weapons are based on the weekly kingdom, and that is picked entirely at random for all practical purposes. Pridelands and Blackhawk haven’t received one for a very long time, Suncrest might not show up again till 2023.

Except that there hasn’t been any repeat kingdom since campaigns started. This could be random “luck” but I think this is the new normal. Just like mythics and legendaries cycle, I think now we can expect kingdoms to cycle as well.
There have been repeats, like Zaejin and Ghulvania.

And the 3 Tower of Doom events:
| Start | End | Doom | Kingdom |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monday, Sep 28, 2020 | Sunday, Oct 04, 2020 | Doom of Nature ID:6662 | Bright Forest |
| Monday, Dec 14, 2020 | Sunday, Dec 20, 2020 | Doom of Flame ID:6663 | Blighted Lands |
| Monday, Mar 01, 2021 | Sunday, Mar 07, 2021 | Doom of Stone ID:6666 | Dhrak-Zum |
However, Tower of Doom events are probably excluded since there are only 6 Doom kingdoms with their own cycle.
The 4 missing kingdoms from the campaign kingdom cycle:
- Blackhawk (Will start Campaign 4 on Mar 8th with Willy the Anchor)
- Leonis Empire
- Pridelands
- Wild Plains (Scheduled for Mar 15th with Pyrohydra)
Yes, that was the reason for my question.
I hope at least in the upcoming campaign ends post, we will get a concrete answer, if this was on purpose.
here, take a look at screenshot:

You are missing some kingdom events in between, there isn’t a world event on every one of them.
