(Please note that english is not my main language) I remember quiting the game a while after UR cards had been released. I was young and a sucky player ha,,, Now that I came back and started a new game, I found the game to be a lot easier and more enjoyable. I have always been a free player, it'll stay that way lol
Back then in 2013-2014 it was hArd to get good cards. I see many people complaining about how it works now but it really used to be worse. I've been playing for almost 3 months again now, and getting into the game as a newbie is still a challenge, but getting good SRs and the free event UR cards is easy. I still dont bother with ranking a lot (highest rank is 2177), but I'm suprised how freely they hand out the event UR cards. Back when FAWs weren't a thing defeating archwitches was a real challenge to me.
The "new" features I like the most are probably abyssal archwitches and witch gates. EH is a pain though. I like idea of it but if you don't have atleast 3 solid units you will have a baad time and burn many battle points. It also makes the ranking harder.
About LR which were recently released: Im not sure what to think about them. I was positively suprised when I discovered that there was now awakening, but LRs almost seem unecessary. Most people wont have them because of how hard they are to get, the rankers who get them dont need them. GURs are powerful enough in my opinion. It seems more like a way of mynet to get money, because people will want to have the LR main girls,, oh well
Im done talking uvu
