Season S42 introduces a new "Critical Strike Treasure Hunt" event, where luck surpasses the guaranteed value of the Glory Treasure Hunt, allowing players to exchange for a Collecto

The test server content is constantly being revealed, serving as a preview of the new season and letting everyone know in advance about the upcoming changes. In addition to hero adjustments and a revamped matchmaking system, the third piece of news that has been widely circulated is the addition of a new critical hit treasure hunt event. It also focuses on drawing crystals, but its operating principle is different from the Glory Treasure Hunt. It relies on the critical hit rate rather than a guaranteed value. Let's take a look and see if it has a high cost-performance ratio.

Various treasure-hunting mystical methods are circulating wildly online.

Critical Hit Treasure Hunt, as the name suggests, relies on its high critical hit rate, which is its advantage. Imagine it as a current Star Coin storage jar, where each withdrawal has a chance to multiply the original amount several times over. As we all know, the guaranteed minimum for the Points Treasure Hunt is 361 draws. Without Lady Luck's favor, you must accumulate points step by step. Players have tried to find folk remedies, the "151-draw metaphysics," where if the last reward after five draws is a skin fragment, then switch to a single draw, get the skin fragment, and then switch back to five draws.

In addition, netizens suggested participating in the treasure hunt at midnight, as the odds of winning would be higher. Everyone wants to get a top-priced Glory Crystal without spending any money. During the 10th anniversary version's limited-time point shop, people were willing to give up legendary skins and convert them into points for the treasure hunt. With the 30 free draws given by the official, they would have a total of about 60 draws to try their luck.

Critical Hit Treasure Hunt: Focus on Critical Hit Rate to Reduce Costs

Rational summoners will save their items until the tripled probability return during the Spring Festival. This shows that the whole process is both time-consuming and expensive. For a more affordable option, players need to wait for recharge rebates and collect more points. These exorbitantly priced crystals are expected to take several years to obtain, truly testing players' perseverance and patience. If I told you now that there's another option—a much cheaper lottery with prices reduced by several times—would you consider it?

This is the charm of the critical hit treasure hunt. According to player tests, although its guaranteed value is 360, there is also a 1 to 10 times probability of each draw. The math is not difficult to solve. In other words, there is no need to wait for the 3 times probability. With the support of the critical hit rate, a simple 1 draw can easily result in 10 draws. With full luck, 36 draws will accumulate exactly 360, and you will get the Glory Crystal. It saves time and effort.
