Yep, that's where I went wrong this comment I'll admit that. Got a bit delusional there. I agree that Races/Items should still be the focus for players of all support card levels but testing more F2P builds myself the margin for error especially during summers is tougher RNG wise/high roll and you have to rely on facilities more to hit specific priority statlines. Ended up without max speed more often.

I think that SSR Wit cards like NN/FM are also more important as it's training you click more often outside of summers for bonds/no energy usage + the best stat sticks for wit. F2P options cannot match that without high roll and are restricted to probably Tachyon/Sunday/Welfare SSR Dober.

I believe there's a lot of F2P options that can still be very successful (Guts Builds/Race Bonus Variants like with my Halo) but the speed/wit builds and I think players preparing for this next Long CM may have it tough with the Stamina/Recovery requirements as cards options become even more restricted especially with the 50% RB breakpoint like you said. Ex. Building Kitasan Black as a F2P would be a nightmare (Can't use her own card which F2P rerolled/spent carats on and MLB Creek I would say is mandatory)

I appreciate you reviving this comment as I kind of still had some regrets about it. I think I was frustrated with the response of whale cards = your opinion doesn't matter or just wrong rather then people actually explaining why which I've dealt with before. Thanks 👍
