How likely is it to get characters in Gold Crates?

[FlusteredBirb]

During the last event, I used some spare tokens to get a Gold Crate (only one, and this was the first Gold Crate I have ever opened) and managed to unlock Sunstorm (a “Legendary” drop).

How often does this happen? Did I just get lucky? Do you get better rewards when you buy them with tokens?

I’d say you have around a 2% chance you get a character out of the crates, I’ve had one twice in a year time.

Rewards don’t get better when you buy crates with tokens, it’s still random.

My estimate is less than 2% but the ballpark is right. Unlocking a new TF and getting an upgrade/overpower has the same probability so see https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/forums/topic/what-are-the-chances-of-finding-an-overpower-in-10-golden-crates/

I opened 2 gold crates earlier today, got 400+ tokens in the first one and a character unlock in the other.

Just opened 10 and got 2 characters unlocked.

I guess your chances will be better when you still need a lot of characters. But 2 characters from 10 crates is great! I already have all of them by now. Hoping to get overpowers from the crates this event.
