There's plenty of free players in the top 300 at the moment. Lack of Lv10 Castle and Magic School are usually a good indication of who's a free player or not as there's no reason to do 10+1 summons without at least buying these key buildings first. I know of a few who have ranked inside top 10 without spending a dime (they pride themselves as free players and still have Lv3~4 MS and Lv9 castle). Hardcore free players succeeds more than moderate and casual whales in this game. Hardcore whales are very rare and their population still isn't significant enough to block free players from top 30 when they do come out to rank. Nubee is kind enough to split the AW ranking by languages (there's a reason why you don't see many Chinese players on the list and those guys effectively gatekeep the ranks of other games). You do need to know what you're doing though.

This game is actually really easy for free players. So much that it's surprising how Nubee are even able to keep their server going. I'm sure others here share this opinion. Lots of newer players like to complain about how you need to spend cash to get good cards but the longer you play the game, you find out that's a myth propagated by players who don't really know how to play the game themselves.

The game hands out A LOT of jewels/swords/shoes for free and actually made endgame cards as AW rewards. Most of the high-level players' SRs don't even come from summons. It's not like AGG where you're restricted to events for 5* card and even then, they're still weaker than the ones you can buy off rare/bell summons. That game's premium currency (Gold) isn't even obtainable without real money.
