Pro Kit Box price comparison


 * This article contains recommendations which boxes players should buy, based on the price per item. For recommendations which boxes to open if players already have them, see Pro Kit Box drop rate comparison.

If a player wants to spend a certain amount of in-game money to purchase Pro Kit Boxes in Asphalt 8, there are several aspects to consider:
 * the preferred rarity of the content (, rare:0:0 or )
 * the price of the boxes to buy ("How many boxes do I get for my money?")
 * special rules like guaranteed amounts of rare or legendary items

A fourth aspect is often neglected as it is usually hidden inside box descriptions, but it's the most important one:
 * the price per item of the content ("How many Pro Kit cards do I get for my money?")

This is the reason why every purchasable box in is usually displayed with the price per item. Example:

The first section of this arcticle sheds some light on possible misconceptions about "best boxes". The second section provides sortable tables of Pro Kit Boxes grouped by types and content.

"Best boxes"
If a player is looking for Pro Kit cards of a specific rarity, boxes that are commonly believed to deliver the most rare and legendary cards are not necessarily the best choice.

Fusion boxes
The most obvious example are boxes purchasable with obtained by fusing Pro Kit cards. Generally, players go for the which is the most expensive, but guarantees that at least 3 out of 4 cards will be rare or legendary. Overview:

At first sight, the Ultra Box contains the most cards (together with the Extra Box), has the best guarantees and the highest drop rate of legendary cards. However, if players have accumulated enough Fusion Points to buy several boxes and are looking for legendary cards, it is advised to have a closer look at how many cards they will really get.

For, a player can buy
 * 13 es, granting a total of 26 cards, of which 3.06 % legendary ≈.
 * 5 es, granting a total of 20 cards, of which 2.30 % legendary ≈.
 * 3 es, granting a total 12 of cards, of which 3.64 % legendary ≈.

Of course, 0.8 as well as 0.44 cards would round down to zero, but it is already visible that the amount of legendary cards obtained from a Starter Box is nearly twice the amount obtained from an Ultra Box.

The legendary cards obtained for are (rounded down to whole numbers):
 * 6 from 91 es.
 * 4 from 40 es.
 * 3 from 22 es.

If a player wants to obtain legendary cards, it is therefore recommended to buy Starter Boxes—despite the seemingly better values of Ultra Boxes.

Ultra Boxes are actually the worst decision except if the player wants to obtain rare cards as can be seen in the following diagrams:

General rule for Fusion boxes:
 * cards: –  –

Permanent boxes
Permanent boxes are boxes offered in Exclusive Deals that are not time-limited. Three of them are purchasable with :

For these boxes, the general perception of the as "best box" is consistent with the actual amounts of granted cards:

Only in some cases, when the player hasn't enough Tokens to buy one more Champion Kit Box, the Specialist Kit Box will grant more legendary or rare cards.
