Recent Dark Pattern Reviews
Grinding reported on Nov 4, 2023
If you want to invest in your student(s) then you'll have to grind some stages (that might have limited tries) and hope to get the item required. If you didn't get it yet, spend money on pyroxene to recharge your energy/ticket or just wait for daily reset.
Premium Currency reported on Nov 4, 2023
Although the game has ways to get free pyroxene (the "premium" currency) it's faster to buy pyro for all your gacha and levelling needs.
Competition reported on Nov 4, 2023
It has PvP where you'll assemble a team and fight against other players' defence.
Playing by Appointment reported on Feb 3, 2022
Used in the "cafe", in order to get maximum benefit you must log in every 3 hours
Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on Feb 3, 2022
You use premium currency to purchase "pulls" to receive random characters from the game in several different tiers. While there's a decent amount of premium currency given for free, quite a few of the characters are rare, requiring many many tries in order to get them
Anchoring Tricks reported on Feb 3, 2022
Used in purchasing premium currency
