Descendant slots
How many free Descendant slots you get by default before you need to purchase more. I have four I am about to make Sharen o.o

You start with 10. Says on the select screen.

you have 10 slots total, its unknown if free players will get more slots. You can dismiss descendants you no longer want or need. The only 2 you need are enzo and sharen. Of which you will dismiss both to get the ulty versions unless they make changes to them. You can craft bring to level 40 for mastery all the other descendants and then dismiss them. Just remember everything you invested in the one you are dismissing is gone you start from zero and they only count for mastery for levels you didn't get before dismissing them.

Ok, little warning before you go nuts collecting descendants. Indeed, the slots are 10. HOWEVER, you can only save 6 presets. I know it is not a game breaking thing, since it is doubtful you will have every descendant fully geared and polished. But it is good to know ahead of time you gotta fork calibers after 6th preset. Unless you don't care swapping reactors and components one by one of course.

Play with non ulti descendants versions first and dismiss later when you get Ulti

Insidious monetization scheme people have not yet realised:


You have a free character limit of 10 but only 6 free preset slots.

with 6 preset slots and assuming all characters have different components and reactors that's 6*5=30 equipment/inventory slots dedicated to gear alone (minus weapons)...

... Gear you'll either carry with you at all times or be forced to dump in storage everytime you swap characters if you want the inventory as clean and free as possible.
Most people, though, will carry around that gear and a bunch of weapons.

With MR15 that's around 30-40ish inventory space out of 100 making any sort of farming severelly ineficient when you have to dismantle things or ignore drops every other run.

This clogged space gets progressivelly worse the more characters and presets you have. You're already incentivized to pay for presets but what about inventory space? Well...

To double that inventory space from 100 to 200 you're looking at a very "reasonable" and "low-low" price of 50€. (50€ pack for 2500 Caliber (+250 bonus, wink wink))

Okay but preset slots surelly can't be that bad aswell, right? Well, 4 preset slots (the amount needed to match your free character space) come out at 600 caliber for which you'll have to pay 15€ just to have enough (and some "bonus" change, wink wink) in order to get.



At the end of the whole thing, just to make it all nice, tidy and convenient you end up paying 65€.

Does anyone here genuinelly believe "this much convenience" justifies a price similar to that of a full blown triple-A game?
