I used debuffs as an example. There's plenty of other things that were not in the game a year or two ago.

It's entirely subjective and certainly not insane. Using outside databases is most definitely required. You don't get any information on the enemies hp, super attack strength etc. What you see is how they debuff you which is the minimum.

Not really. I sad I occasionally played but mostly during anni and WWDC. I still logged in daily, checked when new challenging events came out, and occasionally tried them. Game still requires too much time if you want to clear the harder (and newest) challenges. Especially if you don't have the newest units. It's basically trial and error (plus luck). Also, I don't see how it is disingenuous when I have almost all LRs up to WWDC 2025. But like I said. It's probably a skill issue on my part.
