Any reason to stockpile Lucky Draws?

[Tystefy]

I've been saving up on my Lucky Draws for a while now with no real reason in mind. At 280 now. Would y'all recommend I wait to open them for very difficult challenges (like Ultimate Arty Challenge)? Or does it not matter?

You can't open them in the GP reset challenges.

Usually you can make a difference in challenge that require a lot of divinity since the "double current divinity" as well as 1 and 5 hours worth of it are relatively common.

I only stockpile them because I can't be bothered with opening them, which is a very dumb reason but I would need more than a month to open them all at 100 per day, so they continue to go up and up.

In most cases you might as well open them as you get them, the GP and pet stones are something you always need unless you are among the very top players that no longer need those.

Mostly does not matter, I believe. You need to check the challenge descriptions, what bonuses can actually apply: In UBC (and I am pretty sure UAC as well), draws cannot be used!
In general the relevant boosts from draws are stat multipliers x2 and divinity stockpile x2.
The stat stuff might help in shorter RBs to maybe kill a Baal more. Divinity x2 did some good for me in an ultra long RB when climbing Baals via planet multi. Since saving up for short RBs does not make sense, long RBs would be the only scenario, but, as mentioned, the "tedious" challenges lock draws as well.
Also, he game is "optimised" for medium RB-length of 12h-24h or so. Draw bonuses don't do a lot there, strategy-wise (otherwise the daily packs would be op and p2w, which they are not).
I had saved up more than 300 and burned them all in a week or so, when I realised that I won't need them. Got 2x 300k pet stones - could have had 2 pets months earlier if I had not saved the draws...

There is an idea of having 200 draws on hand, using 100 before claiming the daily reset, claiming the reset then using the next 100 for a bigger push. In practice, I don't know if it ever makes much of a difference.

But, there are two challenges where stockpipling more lucky draws than that is useful. The first of these is Road to Infinity. This challenge is 7 days long and so using lucky draws can help with progress. According to the wiki you could even use up to 900 draws like so: "...not collected your Daily Draw for 48 hours. This allows you to open 100, collect first Daily, open an additional 100, and collect the second Daily. This leads to you being able to use 300 on the first day, and 100 on every other day.".

The second challenge is the Day No Rebirth Challenge. Same 300 lucky draws concept (as it is a one day challenge).

Those two challenges are pretty late/endgame so don't feel you have to hoard several hundred draws.

I assume that 2 daily draws is the most you can stock up above but I don't recommend it outside of preparing those challenges because you miss out on being able to crystal sacrifice or free event currency during event times.

As of today i have 4,959 lucky draws.... cause i simply didnt see the need to use them after i got all the crystal slots, a "majority" of the pets from pet stones gained and living draw pet xD

i suppose ill use them for certain challenges later, and eventually get all of living draws buffs but for now i shall continue on with my hoarding tendencies

but since none of that answers the question ill just say. look up the list of things you can get from draws. get what you need and then use them when u want a little boost.

Also if u save the game beforehand you can more or less see what your 100 draws will be. then reload. cause it wont change. this can be usefull if you want to get that extra push for a pet gained by reaching a certain P-Baal level, or doing a challenge and dont want to start it if u arent going to get enough boosts from the draws u have

edit: and as mentioned before by others, draws (as well as other features like pet stat boosts) may be disabled for specific chalenges (will be mentioned on the challenge itself)
