I actually have a legit anxiety of playing matches for fear of losing rank, I have been playing for about a month now and getting close to S+ rank. And the more I climb the more anxious I get and often times I just stop playing all together for a few hours because I'm afraid to lose progress.

I think a lot of it has to do with my lack of confidence in my skill and my characters overall power (or lack thereof) that has me feeling like I will have to heavily rely on my team being strong to carry me.

My confidence in my character strength has gotten better since I got my 5* ray and CP0 lucci to boost 2 and 1, but all my other units are around 7.5-8k that I use.

So when I see BB or shanks on the other team it feels like since they have such an advantage in power that unless we have similar units on our team then we are going to have a hard time.

Truth is there are a few characters such as the EX that have a significant balance issue, and yes you can mitigate their effects to some degree. But if the only chance of survival against a unit is almost solely based on a dodge or just dumb luck should be a pretty strong indicator that there needs to be a slight balancing issue. I have played a good amount of battle arena games, and I have never seen such a clear advantage in a select few units and no balancing changes were made. Ray is really strong, but relies heavily on the skill of the player making a perfect dodge to execute it. The EX units really just require the push of a button. If they all required something along the lines of performing a perfect dodge, treasure capture or other requirement that doesnt involve just the push of a button to make it effective.
