Ngl I was pretty relieved when I saw this month’s revenue.
July was $2.775m and August was $3.275m. So basically only $500k more, around 18%.

And yeah, I know 18% is technically an increase. Thats not the point.

July had around 20 days of off season, literally the quietest period in the game. Meanwhile August had:

1. A whole new season
2. Hilde, who is insanely strong
3. Limited Arabella dropped out of nowhere
4. Paid skins
5. Selling deck/save data
6. F2P pulls - Driest month in the history of the game

Like… all of that against a mostly off season month and only 18% more?

This is why I actually think its good news for the game.

There was definitely no shortage of people being VERY loud about E6ing Arabella and the more Gooner direction.

Reading the comments you would think this was exactly what everyone wanted and that it was about to print money. But I guess posting about how hot a character is and actually opening your wallet are 2 very different things lol

That audience clearly didnt spend enough to compensate for the people who skipped because they disliked the designs, the reduced pulls or the new monetisation. Turns out being loud in every discussion doesnt automatically make you commercially valuable.

Hopefully the devs get the message. People want interesting character designs, skins that actually look good ingame, better events, different content and enough pulls to actually be excited about new banners.

If you make the game less generous and then try to replace that with fanservice, dont be surprised when the online hype doesnt turn into money.

Honestly, great news tbh.

TL;DR:

July was mostly off season. August had a new season, Hilde, surprise limited Arabella, paid skins, paid deck/save data and fewer F2P pulls, yet revenue only went up 18%. Being loud online is free, actually supporting that direction isnt.

Would be nice if there was a bit more communication about this kinda thing.

Is it possible to let players select at least 5 characters (or a custom number) to be filtered out of the 50/50 pool? For example, we could exclude characters we already own, so we don’t keep losing the 50/50 to duplicates when pulling for new characters.

*not filter out every character just around 5 or something cause the characters just stck up as new character releases.

Any protos who experience losing 50:50 and reaches 60-70 pulls to get her? Comment below so I somehow feel good.

Rates really bad and having a friend who flexes his 20-30 pulls, 50:50 win for both character and partner is really frustrating. The amount of Crystal and pulls can get this time is really low as well.

Does purchasing a costume unlock the combatant as well?

Ex. I don't have Arabella and probably won't have enough to pull before season ends

I play since the day one, I have the 3 seasonal characters and her partners(ara, sereniel and HMDI), and since day one, after a hour playing the game, the assets just start to vanish? Like, texts, pngs, arts, animations, entire cards, and descriptions, numbers too, everything just start to slowly vanish to oblivion, and even though this happens I keep playing because I love this fucking game, but damn, why they don't resolve this even after so much updates?

Like, for what I see and what others told me, the game works perfectly fine in a SSD, and some people who were having this same problem said that changing the game to a SSD solved, but I'm kinda broke, so for the the next months I don't have the option to buy a SSD(I live in Brasil and the things here are DAMN EXPESIVE, for comparison, a SSD of 1TB is like 150 dolar or so, here is A thousand brazilian coins, so yeah, thinks this like being a thousand dolars)

But before this game I never got any problems for not using a SSD, like, I know the difference is fucking big, but I never got anything like this, and my PC is not so trash, like, GPU is a RX 6600, CPU is a ryzen 5 5600 and 16 gb ram dual channel, so like, even if I use a HDD, the game was supposed to run smoothly. I'm kinda lost to what I could do to solve this, I already tried repair the game several times, reinstalled the several times too, and tried different configs but well.......nothing seemed to work. I really love this game, but damn, they could solve this already, I don't think this problem is so difficult to solve

Sorry if I mispelled something, my english is not so good

SINCE WHEN CAN YOU LOSE A GUARANTEED?! I LITERALLY PULLED FOR ARABELLA ALL THE WAY TO THE GUARANTEED AND WHY IN ALL HEAVEN AND HELL INTO A YUKI?! (I mean yeah sure I like her but I wanted arabela) ISN'T IT SUPPOSED TO BE "GUARANTEED"?!

Counterattack equipment works with Nia Decibels ?

I only remember chizuru what's new.

Just got into the game and I have no idea about the sq building around these chars. Are they sufficient for now, or should I get more from the gacha?

i got Arabella First, then after 2 draw i got renoa... so am i guaranteed to get the next seasonal banner??

Hello guys, i aint a complainer btw, this is just something very obvious that i dont see devs are improving.. and it's actually very weird..

I love this game and im enjoying it so much and i will tell you that much.... but!

Since i've reached Lv60 i started to realize how poor the rewards *Rescue Anchor/Crystals* really are..

I might have spent few bucks here and there but i actually don't see myself surviving the next banner holding hands with Olga as a F2P...

Specially that i've collected all the lvl up rewards, came to Tower Lv150, even topping it with a combatant that u haven't yet used doesn't reward you anything except the sticker. OMEGALUL

Even the Rewards for new players are very poor, i've seen few streamers trying it for the first time and it is not very generous i will say,

You see games giving u free 100 pulls or whatever but what i've seen in our beautiful game is so pitiful.. you have to sit for an hour until u finish the first chapter, and then pull and tbh, if the game is so pushy and preventing me from roaming and exploring around and i must finish the story instead of checking whenever i want, then F it, i will just skip the story, here we go!!

My love for the game started with understanding the story and having interest innit and in SS Nightmare adventures, explorations, feelings, memories and trauma.. which i would argue that it's all very fun to watch and to listen to, i used to skip my anime watch night and start exploring new chapters in the story and it was hella fun in HDMI story just BEAUTIFULL.

So if someone doesn't have that much of interest, or trying out the game and seeing the game pushing him like *READ, READ, LISTEN, WATCH, READ* how are we gonna grow and how we gonna get a new audience specially when u dont give them enough rewards to start...?!

I have spent something close to 150$ for 12k Crystals i think for Ara or maybe a bit more, and i ended up with 1 copy and lost my 50/50 TWICE!!

Even her event currency *Stock Market* doesn't have a shop!

How there's nothing like "oh, seasonal character? Lets make it guaranteed after 70 pulls" i mean.. 70 pulls are not cheap or easy to get, like people wants to pull even when there's nothing new.. imagine a Limited character in the shop, i should be allowed to through my Crystals for some pulls for no reason whatsoever, but I KNOW that every crystal will be necessary for the next combatant, i got nothing to waste for fun!!

Since Ara's release until now, after having some of my leftover crystals and Anchors, do you believe that i can pull only like 2 multies?! Like how do u guys do it as F2P!

Honestly, i can hear myself, and i do sound like an absolute hater... but im REALLY enjoying CZN with everything going on.. i just dunno how to do it as F2P or a new player and it feels bad..

i also don't think that if i dont use the Heart of the Credit Card i will pull Olga in 10 days or be able to save for anniversary... just gonna try to get 5 Crystals after another from Sortie achievements i guess..

*Adult for adoption* jk lol

since when this happen ? again . . other than rita story, feels like some story really lacking in context which made me confused sometimes

I've been playing CZN for a few months now, and I absolutely love the game. I genuinely find it really fun. That said, one of the things I've noticed people complain about quite a lot is how scarce the currency is when it comes to pulling on banners.

Since I started playing, I haven't pulled on every banner, only on characters I actually liked. (I don't have HDMI or Sereniel since their banners had already passed by the time I started playing.) I've seen people mention pretty much everywhere that investing in seasonal characters is important in this game, since they tend to be some of the strongest characters.

Because of that, I decided to invest in what was supposed to be Arabella's premium team. I currently have Arabella + partner and Hilde + partner, and this is where my question comes in:

Should I also pull for Olga?

I know this is probably a pretty premature question, since we don't even know what Olga will actually do yet. But I'd like to start thinking about how I should manage my pulls going forward.

Right now, I have 437 pulls saved up, and I still have some content left to clear. I've pretty much caught up with Story Mode across its different difficulties, but I haven't completed everything 100% yet.

So, considering the current state of my account, would it be worth investing in Olga if she ends up being part of Arabella's premium team, or would it be better to save my currency for future characters?

Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this, and I'd really appreciate any advice!

First time ever posting. I'm a casual who missed out on half anniversary and recently got back into the game. My main when I started was Tressa Agony, seeing a bunch if numbers pop at the end of each turn was satisfying to me but then they nerfed it and I lost interest.

I still have no Idea what I'm doing half the time to be honest and don't have the correct understanding for most of my characters other than Nine.

How do you guys pull as f2p anyway? Is it all-in on characters and just hope the leftover amounts are enough for the partners or is there a way to get both of them.

Help me build teams too if possible. Thanks in advance for any advice y'all can give me.

I have all characters at lvl 61 and 7 of them at lvl 62. 109 sortie clears in total.

I suppose, I will have a breake from sorties for a while 😆😀

But planning on to go on with Hilde, Olga and Narja (trying to form that team in sortie) in the future.

I’ve been wondering if I should pull for Arabella partner or save because of the upcoming anniversary? I just need confirmation if Marianne is a good partner for Arabella?

Edit: I’m not an old player, I joined a few days ago, sorry.

I just got Hugo, so he's level 39 and his partner is level 40. I don't have enough aether to farm for them yet, and my first save data was decent, so I decided to test it.

This team is very fun and strong, if Hugo were at least fully upgraded, he would definitely deal 250k damage.

I'd been planning this for a while, but I didn't have Hugo in my account, so I decided to use one of my selectors to get him.
