LOL I havenât even equipped anything yet, except that forced Cedric token/badge.
I decided to compile the data of everyone doing big sets (going upward from the bottom up to Neritars set, avoiding duplicates)

If the rates of Cedrics arenât intended to drop ~40%+, then something is probably wrong, since we are fairly confident they do. We have a 99.9999% confidence level that the true rate of cedrics token drops falls between about 36.5% and 46.5% based on our sample size, so if the âtrue rateâ is supposed to be anything lower than 36%, well, something is absolutely wrong.
HoweverâŚ
We canât know if something is wrong based on this because we donât know how it is supposed to be. Not likely this will result in a change for the better if it is wrong and it does get noticed⌠but, based on other stuff that has flown under the radar for ridiculous lengths of time, I think drop rate discussions are on auto-filter for all the staff unless they are directly reported as a bug. And its not going to be me for this one, I donât feel like having to lobby just for what would, best case, probably result in a nerf, and worst case, be wasted effort. Nysha numbers look depressing, but probably intentionally so.
I am okay with Cedric (ultra-rare) dropping more often than Gaard (common) or Yasmine (rare). When upgrading troops, you can use any medal of a higher rarity to guarantee success at any of the three eliteness tiers. I upgraded my Tigraki Warrior on a whim, and I used a Medal of Cedric for gold rather than the three Medals of Yasmine it would have otherwise taken to hit 100% upgrade chance.
We know that eventually kingdom power levels will require upgraded troops, so I am quite happy if the game showers us with ultra-rare medals in place of common/rare medals that are effective on fewer troops.
Now, with all that said, I do think the rate of Epic and higher needs to be adjusted. 2% chance for a token of Nysha means that almost* nobody will be upgrading mythic troops.
*I am sure there are some users dedicated enough to grinding that they can earn the 6 Medals of Nysha needed to upgrade their mythic troop. But they are a minority of a minority.
The rarer they make Nysha medals the more people will buy the inevitable flash offers. I really truly hate this type of ftp sales model.
