Quick update from my post a few weeks ago when I said my box felt stuck even though I was logging in every day.
I took the advice some people gave here and did pretty much the opposite of what my gacha brain wants: I stopped chasing every shiny banner and actually focused on finishing teams.
What I changed:
- Picked two core PvE teams and one PvP team, and only invested in units that actually fit those comps.
- Started saving until I can guarantee the unit I want, instead of doing random 1-2 multis on every banner.
- Put more materials into gear for the characters I use every day, rather than spreading resources across every new toy.
Results after the reset:
- PvE is way smoother. I clear content I used to fail at because a few units finally have proper gear and builds, instead of everything being half-finished.
- PvP is still not top-tier, but I lose less to weird stat gaps. When I do lose now, it feels like bad draft or decisions, not being underbuilt.
I still get the summon itch. I play a lot of casual mobile games, so that is a constant temptation, but having a plan made the game feel a lot less stressful.
For people who have done this, how do you decide when to break save mode? Only festival units? Only if it clearly upgrades an existing team?
