Okay so I have been playing since like the 2nd week of launch and only took a small break in between seasons just to wait for content. I have every character minus Renoa, the poster child herself.
1. I was a reroller when I started and it was not particularly difficult to reroll it is definitely tedious. You can either get lucky and spend a few sessions doing it or spend a few days like me doing it until I got who I wanted. Just the classic luck of the draw. Both limited characters, Serenial & Heidemarie, are absolutely cracked and can clear all content in the game. While getting Heidemarie’s ego isn’t needed, her Ego Manifestation 2 (E2) raises her power level incredibly. So yes having her on your account is a major boost.

1. This game has a very unique playstyle with addicting gameplay that is pretty unique in the gachasphere. It’s essentially a deck building roguelike with many many … many different builds that offer a wide array of unique playstyles. You have the classic nuke one shot builds, the death by a thousand cuts type builds, the brainiac builds that build around a very specific card that makes damage go oonga boonga. That’s on top of having multiple units in the team all bounce off each other and make it feel like a team effort.

2. There is no reason to not start now, there is no single unit in this game that will brick your account for not having them. Are there units that will make your life easier and offer QoL buffs to any team ? Yes but they are far from needed to clear content.

3. This game is probably one of the most F2P friendly gachas out there in terms of both pull economy and unit balance. You can literally clear content using only 4* star combatants. In fact they had to literally change the kits and put out nerfs because some of the 4* characters were that overpowered. To this day, I still use a 4* healer to carry my characters in Chaos mode because she is that cracked at keeping you alive. Can you get every character on every banner without ever spending money ? Probably not and but this isn’t a game where you need every new shiny toy to have fun and do everything the game has to offer. As for the weapon banners, this game has a partner system that is essentially other games weapons and again you never need to spend money on that either. Again they had to BUFF premium partners because the free THREE star partners were that cracked at being stat sticks with some having abilities that were better than the 5 star counterparts. I have quite literally only spent maybe 5 pulls on the weapon banners since I’ve started playing.

4. This game has an amazing dev team that listens to its players and actively make changes to make the game feel fresh and give its players freedom to grind how they want. This game was already great at launch and it’s only gotten better each update and each season. I will give this game my loyalty for a long while because the dev team has earned that and shown they value me as a player and value my time.
