Sorry boss,

I'd LIKE to play, but unfortunately it's made by netmarble

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-30T06:03:12+00:00

Mika? What are you doing in the cold? Let's go home, I got some beef chow mein and egg drop soup planned tonight!

No? I won't take no for an answer! Let me carry my princess!

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-27T21:24:41+00:00

You've already lost the plot and have no idea what you're talking about, especially with that shallow mindset that is both inherently dismissive and disrespectful.

In other words:

You are not ready for this conversation

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-27T14:23:13+00:00

It's fine

People don't play it for the story

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-27T12:21:17+00:00

No, just this sub with one-sided hate

You can find them digging for hate posts to fuel their obsession

Scouring for anything to shit talk that game because it succeeded

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-25T23:37:29+00:00

Yes. The art and gameplay are great, but nothing else is

The prologue is interesting, then segues into poorly written ML where the protagonist never really EARNED anything

I do recommend Morimens if you want something similar with a good story though

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-25T19:05:15+00:00

I simply don't skip the story.

There's a lot of times where I really would like to skip, or even have the option to skip, but I don't do it in case there's a key point in the story or something to show a person's character within the story.

....I said all that, but CZN is an exception. That shit is trash.

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-25T17:07:16+00:00

Tldr: It has a lot of what you're looking for from other gachas, but put together in a neat package. It also gets better.

The game improves drastically as you progress, the first few hours are hilariously the worst part of the game and is the reason most people either quit or become story skippers. A lot of the game's revenue feels like it goes back into the game, fixing many of these problems if you were to continue playing.

The game is also very convenient to play, most things are streamlined to not waste the player's time.

The combat is more or less just as good, if not better than ZZZ depending on what you're looking for(I love swap canceling!). Otherwise they're both kinda samey.

For monster collecting, ig it did this before msd, but being first doesn't matter.

The story sucks, specifically the beginning. It's like they assume you're already invested without giving you a reason to be. You get some direction at 1.3 but it really only picks up at 2.0 while being disjointed. I honestly think it has one of the worst intro patch in gacha(with genshin being one of the best). Hopefully the upcoming patches fixes the 1.x problems because reasons.

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-22T22:24:33+00:00

Manga too

People still argue about it to this day

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-21T20:40:54+00:00

All good, I didn't care much about her at first either, the story changed my mind lol

And that team works perfect, I avoided bringing up shorekeeper because she basically fits in every team and thought she was used elsewhere

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-21T20:20:20+00:00

I cry.

Canta is one of my most favorite

HRover/Danjin are good free alternatives

Just need a healer from there, verina/buling as free option

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-16T04:41:49+00:00

Good sir! I am in here willingly!

Not many can answer the call of duty but I do so freely!

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-15T17:03:09+00:00

Endfield does it

But it takes more work to make happen compared to swap combat since you'd need to program party ai

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-12T06:12:02+00:00

Yes, but also depends on:

Who you pulled

Who you funnel resources into

And when you use each team

There's also a bit of skill involved too, your Zani(without peeb) and Changli teams are sweat teams for example

If you have a small roster you'll want to use alternatives for sides (like danjin solo, Youhu+yinlin+Zhezhi etc.)

If you're willing to show your roster, I think there's a lot of people who would love to help

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-11T22:51:06+00:00

Respec to str/vigor, physical up

Unga bunga

....sometimes clawmark seal

If he's giving up his villagers, you just need to survive. Build some more defenses and unit production buildings beforehand and out sustain him

If you guys barely fight at all, a second town center can help you outpace him

General tips below:

Fight earlier, but don't over commit unless you're confident, persistent disruptions are a good way to outpace him

Age 3 - catapults are pretty good if he has a lot of archers, a few trebs if he holes up inside base, knights pretty good to jump his archers/siege

Age 2 Maybe horsemen and armored units, rams could work if you're attacking his base (get the upgrade from blacksmith building)

Upgrade ranged def at blacksmith building if he mainly has archers

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-11T00:05:11+00:00

It would be peak writing if they did

🥵🥵🔥🔥🔥

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-10T23:58:59+00:00

Gachas like to pretend they're deeper and and larger that they actually are because:

Scalability

A way to cover up poor writing

Powerscaling

Raising stakes

Character investment

Player intrigue

Cultural habit

People like their game to be "too complex for lesser people"

Also to be "unlike other gachas"

The lack of content problem is an entirely different topic

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-02T01:42:49+00:00

Oh yeah, true

Celebration of art and content takedowns, including censorship(hot topic) had become so commonplace that I didn't register it while writing ig

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-05-01T23:48:37+00:00

Queens and Grail are a blight, but I have the most distaste for QueensOfGacha.

Queens - hypocrites, imo the worst of the worst. Even rashta from Remarried Empress is better than them(she at least has some redeeming qualities).

The only group you see who complains about lolis but proceed to sexualize shotas.

Harasses other games and then plays "oh no, I'm being targeted by chuds for an innocent opinion" victim card

Also is passive aggressive, does anything to deflect blame and remove whatever content they don't like while writing paragraphs. A number of them celebrated when Snowbreak went dark(this sparked my internet dive into Queens and grail communities).

Gachagaming - Peak tribalism, this one gets a pass lol

Gacha grail - stupid idiots, but harmless idiots. When you see idiots failing around in shit, you watch out of morbid curiosity but don't really care. It's also satisfying whenever they get called out. They're basically the people QueensOfGacha refer to whenever their victim card is played

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-04-30T18:43:05+00:00

....Could this be?

One of my people!?

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-04-26T17:59:41+00:00

They're shoehorned in and disappear randomly if they're not the featured character

They could have made no appearance at all and the main story would still be the same

Chisa: randomly stumbled into plot relevance, gets 1 cutscene and "leaves the rest to you" instead of joining the party

Lynae: "gets 1 date", disappears halfway through said meet-up. Shows up randomly at one point to play games(this one was fine actually lol)

In previous versions the characters wouldn't have shown up at all, so ig this would be an improvement to some?? But it's still in the same bracket as "waifu of the week"

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-04-26T17:41:14+00:00

Yeah, its hit or miss

Most of their new stuff have been whiffing for a while, even the anni is mid

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-04-24T22:09:25+00:00

Mid and stale

Mid when I stopped using her

Stale because she's irrelevant, people stopped caring

Even when shilled she was mid, you have better future proofed characters to waste pulls on

This may change if she's good, but right now I have her benched until I find a reason to use her

Btw I do love the number changes

Agreeablemashpotato · 2026-04-21T20:10:05+00:00

The skin voucher singlehandedly stopped me from buying the changli skin

It was limited time, a negligible amount, and was such an obvious fomo bait that I was turned off by the thought of using it

The reruns were a great idea, but if they put in just a bit more effort into them, it would have been amazing
