Vibranium Powered Offers Value Analysis
The Vibranium Powered Offers event can be broken down into separate parts, thus making 6 bundles. Each such bundle includes not only the contents of the corresponding stage of the reward track but also the following reward. This is so because you have no other way to get, for example, 100 Credits that come after the first reward with 500 Credits and 1 Mystery Variant, except by purchasing the node for 4.99 USD.
In addition, since you can’t buy the last bundle in the series without buying the very first one, there’s no point in analyzing them separately. There is a cumulative effect here, so the bundles are grouped by stages, sequentially, to answer the question “when is it worth stopping?” and “which purchases will provide the most value?”
Vibranium Offer Tier 1
The very first bundle, although offering 212% Progress Value, doesn’t look as strong when compared to other bundles at the same price. As can be seen from the chart below, it is below average, even when taking into account the rather poor bundles from August at the same price.
If you compare this bundle with others at the same price over the last three months, the shortfall becomes even more noticeable. The chart shows a gradual decline in the value of the $5 USD bundles.
If, however, you compare the bundle with all bundles in terms of Progress Value, it turns out that it is precisely at the average level. From such an exclusive bundle, you would expect more.
In terms of Credits per USD, this bundle looks decent but doesn’t break any records, not even close. The Credits per USD value is naturally high since the bundle offers only Credits. However, if we look at bundles with a similar value of Credits per USD, we’ll see that such bundles usually also contain some other currency in addition to Credits. So as an option to get Credits for USD – not bad, but questionable.
It seems there was an assumption that such bundles are USUALLY profitable, so the first bundle would be as well. But no, it’s quite mediocre even when purchasing just that one alone. And this mediocrity, like an avalanche, affects all the bundles in the chain, making them worse than they were 3 weeks ago in a similar Vibranium Powered Offers event.
Vibranium Offer Tier 1 – Tier 2
As mentioned earlier – the mediocrity of the first bundle in the chain affects all subsequent ones. If this bundle previously, in the past Vibranium event, didn’t look too bad and was above average within its price category, this time it’s barely at an average level.
However, due to the increased price, the Credits per USD value becomes slightly better and almost reaches good levels. The second bundle in the chain has a positive impact, which compensates for how subpar the first bundle is.
However, even with this, purchasing the first two bundles falls short compared to a vast array of others, as evident from the first chart. Therefore, the conclusion is that I’d rather not recommend it.
Vibranium Offer Tier 1 – Tier 3
With this configuration, SD is taking a very sneaky step – after buying a bundle for $10, you see a similar bundle in front of you, but now for $9, which should prompt you to make another purchase, as you have just agreed to a larger expenditure for the same content.
As for the Progress Value, this configuration, for almost 25 USD , is inferior to many bundles priced at 20 USD. However, it’s worth noting that among the configurations considered, this one has the highest Progress Value – 213% – surpassing both the previous and the subsequent steps.
But in terms of Credits per USD, it ranks among the best, especially within its own price range. So, if you’re specifically looking for a lot of Credits for your USD and are willing to spend 24 USD, this is a very good choice.
Vibranium Offer Tier 1 – Tier 4
In this configuration, Gold is added to the Credits, which is intended to be spent on Collector’s Tokens, according to the current calculation method. But remember that you can also spend it on cosmetics or other, more valuable bundles for Gold, which will give you even more Progress Value than in the calculations. It all depends on how you decide to spend the Gold.
However, this doesn’t significantly help, as the configuration loses 11% in Progress Value compared to the previous one, although with an increase in price, you would expect the opposite, as you anticipate a proportional increase in content.
When comparing among all bundles, the configuration is barely better than the average value, as seen from the chart below.
But if we look at the price category alone, it’s clear that this bundle is almost a monopolist in this area, especially considering that it has very high values.
However, due to the high price and not entirely proportional increase in the currencies, the bundle remains at an average level in our eyes. The fact that there are few other bundles at the same price is not a reason to rank it higher, especially given such a price.
Vibranium Offer Tier 1 – Tier 5
With this tier, we see the same pattern as with the appearance of the third tier. You’re offered the same content at the this step with a price of 13 USD instead of 15, which should once again entice you to continue making purchases.
But in reality, it’s hardly worth doing, as the configuration remains roughly at the level of the previous one, still aiming for an average value instead of confident growth. 3,000 Gold can help with careful planning, but at such a price, it’s not what you would expect.
Nevertheless, within its price category, it looks solid and is on par with the upcoming Quadrennial Leap Year Sale! bundle.
Although we don’t know exactly what it will be like or if it will be available, it seems that this configuration we’re considering is not your last chance to spend 50 USD with a good benefit. Keep this in mind when making a decision. Overall, the bundle is fine.
Vibranium Offer Tier 1 – Tier 6
With this bundle, the situation is similar.
Overall, it’s slightly above the average level, and within its price category, it looks pretty good. It also has a potential competitor – the Once and Future Queen bundle, which will become available as soon as the configuration we’re analyzing disappears from the store. So you might want to wait for the Once and Future Queen bundle, but there’s no guarantee that it will satisfy you for the same money.
Also, keep in mind that such Progress Value for approximately 70 USD is not unique and this isn’t your last chance to spend such an amount on something good. For instance, not so long ago, the One Man Battering Ram bundle ended, which had more Progress Value than this one.
Conclusion
Thus, surprisingly, this time the most worthy configuration turns out to be the third one (Vibranium Offer Tier 1 – Tier 3). It offers the most Progress Value and is less susceptible to diminishing returns. This is a great offer for its money, giving out many Credits for USD at a good rate. If that’s what you’re looking for – I recommend it.
The first bundle in the series for $5 this time isn’t so cost-effective and doesn’t hold up against competitors. I don’t recommend purchasing it if you want to spend little money infrequently but effectively. However, if your strategy is to buy all the cheap bundles, it might suit you.
With the most expensive steps, there’s a peculiar story. They are good, but not so outstanding that you should rush to buy them. They don’t break records, but you can’t call them bad either. It’s probably worth recommending them to those who specifically want Credits and Gold and know how to invest the acquired Gold most effectively.
It’s a fairly specific case, but it has its place. Others, without my advice, are likely to bypass the high-tier bundles anyway.
