value of buying Phoenix Prize Packs for the tech upgrades.

has anyone calculated this? using some quick logic and basic math I came up with this: cost is based on buying packs of 10 for 40000 dil

Phoenix upgrade = 51200 upgrade points = 0 dil per use superio upgrade = 12800 upgrade points = 1075 dil per use

saw a you tube vid for a guy that opened 600 packs and came up with the basic chance to get tokens, any better calculations on this chance?

uncommon = 49.67% = 1 upgrade rare 40.67% = 2 upgrades very rare 9.17% = 4 upgrades

calculate average number of packs gained per pack opened 0.4967 + 0.8134 + 0.3668 = 1.6769 average upgrades per pack opened

51200*1.6769 = 85857.28 tech points per pack opened 85857.28/4000 = 21.46432 tech points per DIL spent on a P upgrade (tech per pack/cost per pack)

superior upgrade 12800/1075 = 11.9 tech points per DIL spent on a superior upgrade

so boiling this all down opening Phoenix Prize Packs nets you about 21.46 tech points per dil spent vs 11.9 points per dil spent using superior upgrades. That makes Phoenix significantly better. this does not take into account the quality chance upgrade, from what I can tell the chance is better for Phoenix upgrade compared to a superior but if there is a number behind the standard % chance improvement shown it would make it tough to calculate, and from what I can tell it varies depending on the item...
