Well, I don't consider buying SQ very worth it, I mean, if you aim for 5 star servants, the rate at which they appear is 1%, and it's lower if you keep in mind the fact all the 5 star servants must share that 1% rate, meaning each servant's appearence rate is but a fraction of that.

I already posted this before around here, but in order to pull a 5 star servant you will need a theoretical maximum of 500 pulls, which equates 1,500 SQ. The cheapest SQ option is the 140, which goes for 9,800 yen, meaning that you'd need at least 98,000 yen in order to get a 5 star. Obviously, this only applies to people with E Rank luck, in theory, around 64% of the playerbase should get AT LEAST 1 5 star servant after 100 pulls, that is, 300 SQ, or 19,600 yen + some free SQ (or pay a bit more).

In the end, you will need at least $140 to have a 64% chance of getting a 5 star, in order to have a 99% chance, you'll need $700. Value that yourself, for me, it's a no brainer that I won't spend a single yen on this, I'd rather buy 10 games than spend $700 for a single "DLC" (or rather, for the chance to have it). Oh, and for a Rate Up 5 star, if we assume there's a 50% chance of pulling it from the 1%, you'd need double the amount of SQ, and thus, of money.
