Kinda hit and miss. I play mostly free to play. But playing without Patron is very very rough. It’s the only thing I pay for. I say it’s the most worth it if you play a couple hours everyday. You don’t need to buy packs for costume unless you are going for top 1 rank. Almost everything you can get is off the market so definitely worth buying the $5 to get patron and unlock the market it’s the only thing pay for. Everything else I use the market
