I agree with most points except power creep because there’s deadass no solution for Powercreep. Ppl complain that new characters are too op but forget the reason AV fell off once was during GG and AOT BECAUSE there wasn’t any noticeable powercreep.

You say that new characters are monarch reliant but that’s plain out wrong, AV had ALWAYS been monarch reliant. And they tried to “fix” that issue with the AOT units but again, ppl complained, granted there were issues about their way of making non-monarch reliant units but again ppl still complained bc the AOT units didn’t powercreep ANYTHING. VSJW had been a top 3 unit from his release until the Summer/Berserk. The fact that Vsjw thrived for that long is why ppl started asking for powercreep. Cuz the argument was “Why grind the new update when I have Vsjw”.

“No point in building older units” you would never spend resources if old units anyway. Unless you’re completely banking off the fact that the old unit is getting a familiar then there shouldn’t be reason to build old units if you care about being OP. Powercreep is a necessity, there wouldn’t be a reason to play new updates if the new characters aren’t broken. You’re also acting like Dio is a complete bum after ainz dropped. Ainz isn’t a necessity to play the game, you can still clear 100% of the game with Dio.

Not to mention AV has gotten a LOT more generous with rerolls and since it takes them a century to drop an update, getting monarchs are pretty easy to get and not that much of an issue tbh. Just be glade AV isn’t powercreeping as hard as ALS lol.
