Popularity chart of gacha games at an anime con in China as of May 2026.

[u/520mile]

Red dots=like, black dots=dislike.

Covered up games in images 3 & 7 are Snowbreak Honor of Kings & Reverse 1999, respectively.

EDIT: Image 3 is actually Honor of Kings, not Snowbreak. “SB” over HoK’s square means 傻逼(sha bi)=stupid/idiot/dumbass/asshole. Although HoK isn’t a gacha, it’s up there with a few other mobile games that are popular in China.

Part 2 thread with Arknights, Endfield, Nikki, and other games cut off in these pics here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/s/yvlpDV499B

Helia and Coralie's arcs have been a highlight for me.

Rivals the stronger part 1 arcs and really captures what HI3rd does best IMO, strong focused character writing and arcs. Also the battlesuits in Part 2 have pretty consistently been great, really fun to play.

And the boss fight against Leylah? so peak. I also really enjoy the Astral Ring system.

They should honestly have protagonist with actual personality like HI3 in their newer games instead of self inserts.
