Jump in! Leader
Unfortunately, we don’t have super specific advice for that Jump in! as it very much depends on what packages you are offered. However, it’s a good idea to understand the rares each pack offers and choose the strongest of the rares and packs that work synergistically with each other. To know what has what, be sure to read the guide and hope to get packs that are more synergistic with each other.
