• Duration :- December 30, 2020, 10:00 (UTC-7) to January 20, 2021, 3:59 (UTC-7)

Contents :-

✦︎ 200,000 LMD

✦︎ 20 T4-Strategic Battle Records

Package Summary :-

→ 200,000 LMD worth approximately 800 Sanity

→ All Battle Records + Skill Summaries + Furniture Parts worth approximately 1081.39 Sanity

→ 4 Chip Catalysts worth approximately 514.29 Sanity

       ∴ Total approx. = 2395.68 Sanity = 17.75 Originite Prime with max Sanity cap (135) / 18.43 Originite Prime with 130 Sanity cap

→ 2395.68 Sanity = Approx. $6.65 if valued at 17.75 Originite Prime with max Sanity cap

→ 90 Originite Prime = $33.71 at the minimum if all Originite Prime Packages still have First Purchase - Double Bonus

→ 10x Headhunting Ticket valued at $10 at the minimum

         ∴ Total = Approx. $50.36 if everything in the shop is untouched and if Player has max Sanity cap of 135.

             Package worth even more if the player has already purchased everything in the shop prior to the release of this package.

Please note that the calculations provide a general approximation. Sanity value include both: stage-farming & base productions

Bonus Package 2: Doctor's Choice Pack

• Bonus Anniversary Package #2 for $29.99

• Duration :- December 30, 2020, 10:00 (UTC-7) to January 20, 2021, 3:59 (UTC-7)

Contents :- 

✦︎ 1 Top Operator (6★︎) Transfer Permit

✦︎ 1 - 10x Headhunting Permit

• The Top Operator Transfer Permit would include the following operators :-

[Chen, Blaze, SilverAsh, Exusiai, Siege, Ifrit, Saria, Hoshiguma, Shining Nightingale, Eyjafyalla, Hellagur, Schwarz, Mostima, Magallan, Skadi, Angelina]

• The Permit WON'T include the following operators :- 

[Does not include Nian, Aak, Ceobe, Bagpipe, Phantom, W, Weedy**]*

Package Summary :-

→ 10x Headhunting Permit = $10 Minimum Approx.

→ $20 for a Transfer Permit to select any 6★︎ Operator (from the given list) of your choice

       ∴ If the $20 Starter Headhunting Pack exists, Trade Off = 20 rolls, (or less if Starter Headhunting Package is already purchased)

→ Assuming player's trade off = $20 rolls; chances of NOT getting a 6★︎ Operator in those 20 pulls = 66.76%

→ In those 20 pulls; assuming you pulled 2 - 5★︎ Operators, 10 - 4★︎ Operators & 8 - 3★︎ Operators, and all are duplicates, then :- 

 == All 5★︎ Non-Max Potential dupes + 3★︎ & 4★︎ Max Potential duplicates = 380 Green Certificates + 20 Gold Certificates (36 Gold Certificates if both 5★︎ are Max Potential duplicates)

→ Alternatively, you can spend $20 for 52 Orignite Prime if all First Purchase Double Bonus Packages are still unused.

        ∴ 1. The Pack is not worth if you own all the available 6★︎ Operators in the Transfer Permit (Including/Excluding Max Potentials)

            2. The Pack is not worth if the only new units you are missing from the Transfer Permit are all recruit-able units.

            3. The Pack is worth if you are missing and want to get either :- Mostima, Blaze, Schwarz, Hellagur, Angelina or Eyjafyalla

It is not recommended to get duplicates with the Transfer Permit since it is not worth the value as you effectively only get 10 Gold Certificates
