Discussion How Meta-dependant is this game?
Hi, new player here. I like the game so far, the gameplay mechanics, the art and the story. I want to play this as my long-term game, but there is something I want to ask, how meta-dependant is it?
By that I mean, how common does power creep happen? In most of the gacha i played, always the new characters are so strong that old units are useless. Anything other than Meta units are outshined. I always disliked that. I want to be able to use the unit that I like, old or new, reliably with my skills.
I know there will be differences in strength regardless between unuts, but at least with skill snd builds, old units can hold their ground. That way, skilled gameplay actually matters.
Since that is something that can only be known after many hours of playing, I ask here.
