"...and then you also need to pump them full of ATK and DEF arcanas so they don't get insta-gibbed which is a very time consuming process because you can only put 10 of each arcana per upgrade."
 * lol, i only need about 30 minutes to max a GLR, about 10 minutes (probably even lesser) for a GUR.

"..which means you need team unleashers, but hey look where you get those -> summons or tower. Which brings us back to where we started, you either spend the $ or hope you get lucky on free ticket summon events."
 * My team unleashers are Bright Ammy (2017 event RR, made available again in LR Chance, brought back again in ABB) and Azurite (tower). I don't rely on luck on getting premium unleashers (whether LR or UR). I'd rather rely on my ability to get them when it is possible to get them.

As for your response regarding the LR mirror, it is hard for you because of your time constraints (rip), but it is still does not mean that it is impossible to get one without cashing.

And that RNG regarding skill activation, that is why the game kinda tells the proc rate for each skill the card. Unless it is 100% chance or guaranteed activation, it does not mean it will proc after a certain turn. A 65% proc rate doesn't mean it will have to activate every 2 turns, it only means it has 65% chance of activation in each turn. As for Haunt, well, despite her 1000% DMG and 10 activation, her proc rate is really shit. Her redeeming factor is her cuteness lol. For tower teams, I'd rather use a turn skipper instead of Haunt.

And I'm not blindingly defending the game. I've not put money in here (and I'm not ever going to) so I wouldn't really mind if it'd go down (I do hope not tho, it just one of the things that keeps me from going crazy cause of work haha). I just have to correct it when you said you need to spend to get better at this game. While you find it's hard for you, it doesn't necessarily mean that the circumstances are the same for everyone else. And getting better in this game without spending doesn't mean you have to give up your life and job. (I still have very much both of my life and my job and can still t100 an AW Hunt if, I want to.) Spending just helps you get there faster than someone who doesn't spend.
