I often hear people talk about 24 is better for most players, but no one articulates just how much better. For some context so people understand just how much better 24 is compared to 25 for the vast majority of players here is a quick break down.

After spending 69,120 energy you woupd have run stage 24 - 3,840, and stage 25 - 3456 times. That is a difference of 384 runs.

In that time you should expect to get 1 (0.9 technically) more legandary 6* piece from 25 compared to the same amount of energy spent 24.

For that 1 extra 6* legendary piece, you lose out on 229.8 5* rares, 55.8 5* epics, 12.6 5* legandarys, 75.9 6* rares, 9 6* epics, 1.8 anctient shards, 4.26 million silver (not accounting for silver made from selling items, only silver earned from stage completion considered in this number)

So you exchanged 383.1 pieces of different gear pieces, 1.8 ancients, and 4.26 mill silver for about 1 6* legandary piece

So unless you are selling everything besides 6* legendary pieces, and dont need the silver and shards, then you should run stage 24.
