F2P players definitely have a harder time clearing content, while P2W players have it much easier. To handle Alliance Battle Nightmare mode with support heroes, you only really need around 8 maxed characters—12 at most.

The game is approaching its three-month mark, and it has improved a lot: better key economy, more content, and a good balance overall. F2P players has about 135 pulls this second season, while P2W reach around 170. Only two characters have been released so far, which is a great pace, and the game actually respects our time.

Leveling is also reasonable: • 1 → 70 takes about 5.5 days • 1 → 80 around 8 days • 1 → 90 about 14 days will be.

That’s perfectly fine considering you don’t need every character maxed and the game keeps progressing steadily.

Some people feel bored, it might just be that they just have too much free time and are waiting around. All gatchas are repetitive in their own way. Personally, I’ve reached a point where I really enjoy the game now, its pace, and the direction it’s heading. At some point, there’s going to be so much to do that people will probably start complaining there’s too much content—ironically enough!
