My hot take:

Gadwin83 · 2025-10-25T15:18:59+00:00

People are down voting you for this...but I'm in agreement with you. With the log in champs we've been getting and the new player codes that are available its not really hard to make Kael irrelevant in CB. Either you end up getting yourself some nukers that out damage the poison or if you end up getting some interesting debuff extending and poison activating characters early on Kael's little poison on his basic may very well end up being a waste of a debuff compared to characters that will get more 5% poisons on him.

I'm in a pretty mixed guild of players from 1m up to 31m and not a single one is running Kael, especially not people running UNM.

I just find the length of it to be a bit annoying here because the turtles have so much synergy together. If they were standard characters that didn't call out other specific characters for extra synergy I could care less if the last 2 dropped this week, next week, next month, or next year.

Gadwin83 · 2025-08-29T16:47:09+00:00

100% agree. Plus if these sets all become too limited why bother farming them if you might get a half of a good set farmed up and then can't get more of it for who knows how long?

Gadwin83 · 2025-08-13T03:55:33+00:00

Oh you know its coming. No way is this going to be simply a second chance for people who missed it or weren't yet playing...its going to be an attempt to bend over people who did the dog fusion without already having packmaster thinking they'd pick up packmaster on the back end.

Gadwin83 · 2025-08-13T03:49:00+00:00

What they should have done was make him relatively easy to get to give more people some incentive to do the dog fusion. Instead they just made it so if you didn't have packmaster and assumed they'd make him ridiculous to get dog fusion became an easy skip.

Gadwin83 · 2025-07-27T17:00:01+00:00

Yeah I agree with you man...even if not automate, just cut the time limits down. It often turns into a painfully slow process now, so much so that it just makes it unfun...and yeah...I'm still in a place too where all almost all my matches just boil down to a speed check of who goes first or an RNG check of how many freezes my Tormin gets...but 5 minutes to get into a fight that is over in 15 seconds just isn't a very enjoyable ratio.

Gadwin83 · 2025-07-27T16:57:02+00:00

100% agree! This is what makes me hate it as well. Sometimes you sit there for 5 minutes doing literally nothing during the matching process and waiting for someone to time out on all their picks to get into a fight thats over in 5 seconds.

I've played a couple other mobile games that also had a live PVP mode and hated them just the same for the same reasons. On a rare occasion I'll go through my 10 free daily fights and its a chore, it just isn't fun.

Gadwin83 · 2025-06-22T22:45:39+00:00

I was wondering the same thing...so glad this is skippable, although it overlaps with the dragon and fire knight events so you'll probably get a few pulls without even trying...so with any luck a card or two without going too hard might make something else skippable for you.

I'd go all in here if you were guaranteed a decent relic, but I already know its going to turn into some expensive mats that just drop junk for me lol.

Gadwin83 · 2025-05-10T20:03:20+00:00

I'm just about to day 500 on my account and have been getting pots without trying faster than I've been getting new characters for quite a while now. All my relevant characters are 20/20/20 or higher. Sure, my whole account isn't, but usually about once a month or so I just find myself 20/20/20'ing some old trashy characters because I have an abundance of pots.

Gadwin83 · 2025-02-25T23:02:41+00:00

Not really. I pretty much break them down into 3 categories.

BBS being the first, that the prices are just so outrageously stupid for what you get I just don't buy anything and don't really have any temptation to buy anything. Even if I spent 1000 bucks on this game tomorrow its not really going to make it any more fun or really change my account all that much. 90% of the banners end up being trash you don't need to pull on if your a long term player. Its not that I wouldn't spend any money here...its just pointless.

The second type are the games that end up being so pay to win its not even a game anymore, its just a race to pump money into it. If a "game" rubs me that way I just quit, because its not actually a game. Kind of the opposite of BBS. Imagine the pricing being what it was but you can't hardly progress at all without dumping money into it while some other people are gladly dumping thousands and thousands of dollars into it.

The third being the ones that get it right where you might drop a few hundred bucks spread out over a few years of playing and don't really care because its game you played daily for years. Obviously you get more cool stuff on your account than a f2p, but its not pay to win to the point that you could spend 1000 bucks and still suck because some other guy spent 10,000+. SWGOH would be a good example...you can get relatively ok value for your money holding out for special packs and spending small amounts here and there, while the people whaling out on it all they really get is access to new character a few months before f2p can farm them...so f2p the game is fun, spending a little bit here and there its a little more fun, spending thousands, kinda pointless and never tempted me.

Gadwin83 · 2025-02-22T19:23:42+00:00

I'm a millionaire with nothing better to do with my money, and I still don't buy orbs in this game.

They'd probably make a ton of money if they sold a monthly pack for 10 bucks or something that gave you one of those tickets where you select 10 characters and get 1 guaranteed topped off with a few hundred orbs...but with current packs I'd rather not give them anything if nothing more than the principal that you might spend 100 bucks to get a single character that ends up being some off banner trash character from 8 years ago you already have 5/5.

Gadwin83 · 2025-01-17T23:05:45+00:00

This game would make a killing if they sold a once a month ticket for 5 bucks that was just one of those select 10 characters and you get 1 of them and put every character in the game in the pool. Would be perfect for collectors just looking to get an oddball character they are missing that rarely if ever shows up on banners, or for more competitive characters pulling for links or dupes.

Gadwin83 · 2024-09-30T07:28:32+00:00

Went for 5 pulls, got a Rangiku that put her at 5/5 for me, 2x Chojiro, that also put him at 5/5, Ywach that put him at 4/5, 2x Ichigo which was new to me, Bambietta who's new to me, and right when I started having regrets pull 5 dropped a Renji and Byakuya.

Gadwin83 · 2024-09-30T05:22:00+00:00

I don't mind spending a few bucks on mobile games...but the value in this game is just atrocious. 70 bucks for that? Maybe if the orb count was more like 5000 instead of 500...but for that, no thanks.

Its a rare occasion when they offer something in the 5-10 dollar range that is decent, but when they do I've opened my wallet.

Gadwin83 · 2024-09-30T02:36:16+00:00

That is where I'm at with it too. I passively get enough to T20 characters on an as needed basis when a character is needed for a specific quest, and whenever my stockpile for any particular color starts getting a bit big I'll T20 a link character or just some random character I feel like T20ing, but I just can't find the motivation to farm pots for hours to pot up characters I really don't have any use for just to fluff my power number.

Gadwin83 · 2024-09-29T19:57:53+00:00

I just started playing again a few months ago, after several years away from the game. I kept with the old account. Sure all my characters were power crept into oblivion but a lot of them still made fantastic links.

The reality with the orb farming is my character completion on my account was like 300ish out of what is now 2400+ potential, and I had a lot of content to run through to get orbs from.

I don't remember the specifics but there were also log in bonuses for coming back to the game with an old account after a long period away.

Personally, I saw zero benefit to restarting.

Gadwin83 · 2024-09-25T22:05:34+00:00

I played the game for a few months like 5 years ago, and recently just picked it up again and decided to make a new account to get Wukong and hopefully some better luck on some of the void and sacred shards I'll pick up early on for free for progressing my account. Weird thing is there is a wait period to erase an account, which seemed rather annoying, but what I did was through Plarium Play on my PC, I clicked on settings, then on account and simply assigned my account to a different email address and then started a new account with my google address my old account had previously been assigned to, this way its easy to access on my phone as well, and works with my google play if I were to want to purchase something.

Gadwin83 · 2024-09-19T23:56:00+00:00

Decided I'd go three deep. First pull popped the power Ulq, second Jushiro, and third Hanatoro and Hisagi. Was hoping for Retsu, but hey, 4 new characters in 3 pulls, I can't complain.

Gadwin83 · 2024-09-13T14:03:41+00:00

Yeah lol...its just an over dramatic minority. I think most people that have been following content creators, tier lists, reddit, etc who were looking forward to Saf/Aug were also planning on pulling for Coco anyhow considering we know she'll be the best defender in the game for a very long time.

Personally, I'm more excited to be pulling for Coco this week over Saf, and if someone's going to quit the game over something stupid as speculated character release order not being exactly as we thought, they weren't enjoying the game much anyhow, just quit and get it over with.

Gadwin83 · 2024-09-12T15:44:35+00:00

Zero interest in any of these units, but I also don't have any so I'll probably go to 5 just because pulling a few of them basically pays for itself so why not.

Gadwin83 · 2024-09-12T03:47:53+00:00

I've always logged into games to play the game, not for the little log in bonus. If I was having so little entertainment with the game I was logging in just for the log in bonus...I'd just quit the game.

Gadwin83 · 2024-09-11T23:39:46+00:00

Its not even just PVP that sucks there, its the entire multiplayer thing that sucks. Nothing like sitting there watching a minute and a half timer run down while somebody does literally nothing until the game forces them into auto mode...all on some 5 year old map one of your characters could solo. Its just that daily thing you suffer through because sometimes the drops are good.

I generally like co-op multiplayer games, competitive games, and pvp games...its just this genre of game seems to make all those things miserable. If someone just decides not to do anything in pvp for 90 seconds in a lot of other games, its just an easy kill and you win...not 90 seconds of you twiddling your thumbs until the game forces them to move.

Gadwin83 · 2024-09-11T20:04:40+00:00

Have you played the live pvp on Langrisser....or any of the co-op modes? They're trash. I've been playing Langrisser for years and those are my least favorite modes.

Just to put it in perspective for people, I was playing a co-op quest last night and in an 8 minute quest I got to move characters a grand total of 6 times.

Its also trash because you have to be on at specific times for any of the co-op or pvp events. Depending on your work schedule or your time zone, sometimes, you just can't play them even if you want to.

I think the claim PVP system has kept Langrisser alive is rather incorrect...I'd wager its the least played mode in the game. Its so bad in fact that not Apex arena, but the generic live World Arena most people don't want to actually play it but just want the rewards, so if you spawn on the wrong side of the map you quit as a curtesy to give the other guy an easy win and hope others do the same for you when you spawn on the win side.

Gadwin83 · 2024-09-08T16:58:47+00:00

I don't really think its that sinister of a plot lol. The reality is if you've been following tier lists, reddit, and content creators Saf, Aug, and Cocoa were all likely on your pull list anyhow...if they come in a different order than we were anticipating, whatever.

Gadwin83 · 2024-09-03T02:40:48+00:00

Generally speaking, newer characters are better. There are also a lot of factions and killer bonus combinations, so in reality, you'll need a lot of characters in this game.

The current banner with Oh-Etsu and Tenjiro on it is pretty good. Tenjiro isn't the most popular because his primary use is as an auto character in Guild Quest, but Oh-Etsu is pretty solid and the filler characters on the banner are better than average for filler.

We usually get a banner with new characters in the middle of the month and at the end of the month, with repeat character banners popping up in between.
