You will get lucky at some point. And save up for Alexander or Gambler Eddie. But there are many good cheaper ones. It is exciting where you are in the game. You have so much unpaved territory. Take your time, and things will happen. You can get some good talisman through the Trooper Store. Early in the game, it is worth investing those Trooper badges in some talisman rather than the 5000 per skill shard (which are also important). There are also some good talisman in the Arena store.
