13 3*-5* crystals or one 5* crystal?

Hello!
So, I've managed to gather another 20k generation chips after grinding in the arenas and was wondering what to buy. I know that a 5* crystal is a much safer option, but with those 3-5 star generation crystals I could have the rare chance of getting more than one 5 star bot...
So what should I buy?

    Go for the 5*

    Unless you really want thirteen 3* bots, take the 5*.

    FYI, this morning I popped all my remaining 12K chips through 8 crystals and got exactly 8 three stars. Like if I had another choice....
  • 1.5% chance to 5 star × 13 is still just 16,5% chance..

    Absolutely go for the 5 star, the 3-5 crystals are made for those who couldn't be collect enough crystals, lower lvl or no time to play

    Buy 13 of those crystals since you must really want 1300 4* shards

    This is not how probability works.

    It's a 1.5% chance per individual crystal, it does not increase to 16.5% just because you buy them all at once.

    Learn to math.

    ^^ THIS.

    At the start of the Generations Arenas week, I nearly had enough chips for a 5* Generation Crystal. So, I saved up and got the 5* Crystal... and duped one of my 5*s (I think it was Jazz or Bludgeon?). Since then, I only earned enough chips for 6 of the regular 3-5* Generations Crystals. I spun them last night. Guess what happened? 6 3*s.
  • I had 3-4 x 3* and 2 x 4* in the 5-6 I got. There was always the trade off.
  • I got 5 and got: 4 3* bots and 1 5* bot
  • Okay then, I listened to all of you (and my better judgement) and popped one of them...

    Not bad, but I wish I got him yesterday!

    I'm a lucky sod, but I figured I wouldn't get another 5* crystal and had some chips left over and thought "YOLO"

    Hight respect the use of the word "sod"
  • I did the multiple and got a 5* Ratchet. Not my first choice but not my last.
