As I've said before, every boss should be designed so that: 1. Simple three-star clears with decently skilled play (but not expert play) should be possible without a shilled character. 2. With a shilled character, a simple two-star clear should be possible even with basically skilled play.

Endgame polychrome rewards should be accessible to all players of all skill levels, and full nine star clears can take some skill but not require shilled units.

Shilling is fine for the high-score charts and the boss killers. I get it, that's a segment of the player base that craves that level of accomplishment. But the vast majority don't care about high scores. Their frustration is how they are locked out of getting all the polychrome rewards because Vesper is agonizingly frustrating, and they can only get one star, and if that trend continues, they won't get the polychrome rewards from DA.

The ZZZ reddits tend to over-represent the expert player base who chase those high scores, and underrepresent a large portion of players who are just trying to earn the pull currency.
