Not a Real Deck. Relies too much on its one trick!

The intention is for Prodigy to be a Wong, but we are nothing if not flexible. 🧘🏼‍♀️

Took a sec to get it transitioned over, but I’m taking over while Levi takes a break. 🩷

(and I’ll adore you if you make it easier by tagging @snapdecks.bsky.social when you post a deck!)

Not a Real Deck, but very fun for weekend missions.

I had some Giant-Men get quite a bit more giant, but this clip had the most drama. 💅

Each item in the Shop has a different Gold-per-Charm (GpC) cost. Ew.

The ones I tested cost 1.2–1.5 GpC.

Buying Scrolls is a better deal, if you assume a 50% WR (~27.4 Charms per Scroll):

7 Scrolls for 100G = 0.52 GpC
1 Scroll for 20G = 0.73 GpC

LaurenWhatevs @laurenwhatevs.bsky.social · 3d

Scroll regen cap is 9.

Don’t claim Scrolls from the Pass tracks unless you’re at zero and want to play.

LaurenWhatevs @laurenwhatevs.bsky.social · 3d

Or buy Scrolls/Charms with Gold. But prioritization is probably better.

LaurenWhatevs @laurenwhatevs.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah, it’ll work retroactively.

LaurenWhatevs @laurenwhatevs.bsky.social · 4d

Turns out the regen cap for Scrolls was changed to 9 (booo).

If you want to maximize your Scroll regeneration, you should get down to 5 or lower so it can regen to 9 every 8 hours.

Also, wait until you have very few Scrolls to claim any from the Passes.

LaurenWhatevs @laurenwhatevs.bsky.social · 4d

Speaking of Scrolls, each game costs 1 to enter. The winner gets 1 back.

* 6 starting
* 84 regen (4 per 8hrs, cap is *probably* 12)
* 6 Free Pass
* 20 Premium Pass

That’s 96 (or 116) total; enough for Free to finish the Pass w/ a 45% win rate.

Extras cost 20 Gold apiece.

I’d noticed! Just came here to post about it. Bad change! 😡

w/o borders, the shop costs 10,530.

w/ borders except Green Glyphs (which are unlimited), it costs 33,130.

With a 50% win rate and full Scroll usage:
• Free can expect 5,039 Charms
• Premium can expect 7,989

You cannot buy out the shop w/o buying extra Scrolls/Charms.

Welp, they didn’t give us all the info.

The shop also includes 3 Variants via Portal Pull for 800 Charms each.

Plus a section that rotates every 8 hours. The Scrolls are a good deal (but ONLY if you need them).

Now I wish I’d arranged them like that

LaurenWhatevs @laurenwhatevs.bsky.social · 4d

Win or lose, you get Charms equal to your points each game.

Opponent retreats should give you 16 Charms (they did in Showdown 2).

Based on 439 observed games, I assume 18.3 Charms per win, and 9.2 per loss.

Finally, here are details for the Shop, where you spend Charms.

You get the new card (The Hunger) at 2k XP. The Passes end at 4k.

These tables show how many games/Scrolls you’ll need. Notice the HUGE difference between Free and Premium.

Premium has a very funny 9-step(!) chain reaction that takes you straight from 740 Charms to 5,540.

The Premium Pass costs 800 Gold (~$10 USD).

The objective value of the Premium Pass is… ✨bad ✨. We’re talkin’, 1.04x. If it were a bundle, I’d say skip it unless you love the cosmetics.

But it’s not just a bundle. It includes MASSIVE savings for your time and sanity.

This time, Showdown’s economy is working just like Grand Arena’s. There are Free and Premium Pass tracks, plus a shop.

The Passes technically give rewards based on XP, but as far as I can tell, Charms = XP at a 1:1 rate. The point is, you don’t spend your XP.

Here’s the Ultimate Guide to Sanctum Showdown 3!

Okay, mostly just the economy stuff.

Most importantly — I’ll help you decide whether or not you should buy the Premium Event Pass!

The Ultimate rates in the above table INCLUDE the 10% for the protected ink/gold/Krackle roll.

Here is a very large table that is difficult to use. 😂

This link will direct you to an even more thorough table in a better format: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

At CM level 10+:
📈 Rare and Ultimate rates have increased
📉 Super Rare rates have decreased

HOWEVER: all 5 split types cut from rolls were Super Rare, so the remaining ones have actually gotten more common, too.

Here’s the downlow on today’s Character Mastery changes:

🙅🏼‍♀️ Can no longer roll Bananas Finish or Flare, Water Finish, Bubbles Flare, or Snowflakes Flare
🆕 Here are *some* updated rates (NOTE the new stuff is on the right)
😅 Raising your CM level still hurts your odds
