@YanDaMan Are you sure about that 50%? Perhaps more obvious than ever before these two cards are NOT on equal level with each other whether in terms of skills, final soldier counts (BIG difference there) or popularity. Of course, I have no proof of what I'm saying here. It might help to get people who complete lap 2 to comment here so we can have some stats. Personally I have a 0/2; both turned up Ms. Murderbot Mk. LXIX.

@Origami The prices of each step are literally written out and taking up a large chuck of space in the news so I don't think it's meant to deceive. The bigger problem I have here is 1) the removal of the usual UR rate up as you said (they left the SR rate up untouched just for a lil' extra sting) and 2) that they see it fit to NOT even reward users with maiden tickets (10 for an ENTIRE lap, when in the past that second lap should've easily given out 400+). I hope this applies only to this summon and they don't intend to set a precedent for slowly phasing out maiden tickets altogether in the future, forcing even more store purchases. It's not the increase in price that irritates me, but rather that they see it fit to actually take away these two pre-existing perks (pretty much inherent to step-up summons at this point), putting a popular card behind a summon that is, even disregarding the price tag, in every way worse... You don't just take value away from your customers, and expect them to pay more at the same time.

If Relena wasn't on the line they could make a card twice as powerful and I still wouldn't have looked twice. I give this summon a rating of 30% empty and 70% full of shit.

...And let's face it, knowing MyNet, Relena would be reinssued in less than 6 months anyway.
