Grinding reported on Feb 11, 2023
You get set tasks and when you complete them you get only a small amount of their gacha currency.
Artificial Scarcity reported on Dec 22, 2022
Most of the best units in the game are or have been available only once. Not only that, but if multiple new units are released alongside each other, and they always are, the new units will not be available in the same banner. So you if you want them, you need to get lucky enough to pull them, sometimes multiple if you want them to be full power, and still have enough currency to make and attempt for the other units

Power Creep reported on Dec 22, 2022
Older units are almost completely useless
Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on Dec 22, 2022
Some of the worst gacha banners and rates I've ever experienced. The only units worth pulling/releasing are 5* (the highest rarity) 95% of the time. Even if a unit isn't very good, it will still be a 5*. Despite this 3* and 4* units still flood the available units with much much higher rates despite having no value beyond rare, niche support to much better 5* units.
Premium Currency reported on Dec 5, 2022
