pay to win like sky arena?

Sincerly, an owner of 3 Lushen's 6* maxxed out, when they were cancer on pvp.

I'd say your experience as a f2p will be smoother compared to sky arena, but as in every online f2p game, top players are usually the most loaded ones. You don't even need to ask this. It's also pretty expensive to pay for stuff once again.

Nevertheless, i suggest you try it out anyway. You will be able to do most content just fine and the stronger players will carry you hard in some raid dungeons when you first unlock them.

Arena wise, you will be able to reach high level in 1-2 months easily without spending money because not a lot of people are playing now, and by the time the game gathers more people you will be very strong naturally. Another thing to notice, is that you cannot use duplicate monsters(they have other uses), so no more 3 lushen teams etc etc. You can also do quick battles in arena, which give you 100% win instantly if you are considerably stronger than the enemy, so it's fast farm.

The only annoying content in this game, is the Battlefield which is 9v9 pvp and stronger players are being matched with weaker players so you will be cannon fodder for months. Most people hate this content, and we are hoping for some changes in the future. Most of the problem stems from the fact, that not a lot of people are playing so the matchmaking is not amazing.

Very F2p friendly coz there's lots of ways to get scrolls and even free nat5 but kinda slow compared to spending money. So yeah still P2W.

[culex69]

This game is very p2w, don't even bother trying pvp as f2p.

[Vibin Au'glancett]

This game is very F2P friendly. They give out lots of scrolls in most event.

[Apox]

p2w the free stuff is just
occupational therapy

[Ginebro]

p2w, don't even touch pvp if you're not spending.

I'm f2p and top 100 arena in verdehile. Most F2P friendly game I've played in recent years

I'm 23rd in brawl and started like 5 days late to global and have 100 ping to EU, can't say I'm exactly free to play, probably payed more for this than any free to play I've played in just this 2 weeks, still didn't really get much from it besides passes during Water Desert Queen event. Top of arena is filled with people with incredibly high power rating, saw someone with a 120k monster earlier which instant killed me, but you can at least strategize to win still like this match.

What a wide gap, but still won, banned the weapon he probably uses most as his ranking shows fire but I just ban it anyway since I don't like unrecoverable and attack builds. His gear is multitudes better than mine because if you aren't farming newbie bonus during a new raid you are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and I haven't bothered, 5 days late as said, and I started with an attack build and haven't replaced half my gear with defense, my damn necklace has 45% crit damage and 10% crit sub stats. I probably banned his best monster and the Woosa is just a trap since most tier lists or whatever place Woosa as best Cleaf monster. But my synergy was too strong and he didn't remove my buff or silence me at the right times to win, if he banned my Polar or light weapon I would have lost for sure.

Starting late in this feels like a bigger penalty than not paying.

The thing is they increased the nat 5 pull chance from 0.5% to 1% so everyone is happy at first glance but... BUT:

You need 5 ADDITIONAL dupes of that SPECIFIC unit color to fully awaken it, and yes fully awaken is really important.
On top they introduced a lot of units that where previously 4 start as 5 star, there's even some wich where 3 star in sky arena, i'm not even joking.
Many units are PVE but... pulling for PVE doesn't matter, you can clear all the content F2P hands down, so you pull nat 5s for pvp.

Someone is gonna come here and say "but the blessing system!! blablabla", that's a system in wich you cripple your pull chances in hopes to get a dupe... do you see how sad this is? you want a dupe over a new unit and that leads me to:

With this system they killed the entusiasm to pull new units and theorycraft teams, if you know how it works you're thinking "cmon be a dupe!!" during the pull...

And for the cherry on top... you can (and with some units should) continue to pull dupes even after 5 to adquire books, wich buffs units stats even more.

TLDR:
- If you do the math the gatcha got 5 times worse, even with the pity system, most nat 5 you pull will sit on your inventory forever unless they are very competent in pvp.

You can also use pieces to get dupes, I got extremely lucky and got 2 Wind Polar Queen dupes and 2 Wind Penguin Knights in like 30 pulls from my altar when I didn't know how it worked and just reset after each 10 pull, but I got the other 2 from piece exchange shop, also got 2 copies of Fire Chimera, 1 built from it, 2 Fire Vampires and 1 Wind Vampire Hunter, used all my 400 rolls on banner for 4 copies and 1 story, also have enough pieces of Vampires and Vampire Hunters to almost or build them from pieces but using them for skills. All it cost me was like all my free gems and all my max runs a day Bastet pass rolls in which I never got a single one early for I'm guessing 19 copies, also rolled one in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Wind Vampire Hunter banner. You can get like 15 pieces a week for cheap from the 3 shops, besides PvP being kinda expensive. Book level 4 is already half the stats as 14 and each level gives decreasing amounts. I got 3 5* and 20 4-5* scrolls saved up for the next altar, and will get another 5* from mileage from those 20.

Definitely find some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at higher ranks, just banned my tank and light weapon and instant killed me with the damn Vampire Hunter, can't even see his ranks since he's on other server. Still got up to 16th. Love how Orbia has same element as summoner 20% damage reduction, 5 spell blocks, and fatal damage 40% HP shield even to team but Kina has...Level 1 continuous recovery, at 30%, I might have had a fraction of a second of that buff, if the Vampire Hunter didn't remove it.
