* AllegedlyFreeGame: While the game is free to play, buying things like gems to unlock new characters and recharge energy costs real money. However, this How bad is just it? You need to pay money to buy "hero shards" which are used to unlock the or rank up a hero. You also need to pay money to buy coins to level up your heroes. You need to pay money to buy "spirit stones" every time your characters easily as it is possible gain 10 levels to complete remove the roster without having level ceiling from said character. And lastly you need to spend any pay money via to buy skill reagents to level up your characters' skill. While you can earn the usual methods such latter three through playing normally, the former are a mixed bag- weaker characters can be earned, but stronger characters requires buying shards with points earned during PvP or Survival mode. And the PvP mode’s payout is extremely unfair. To wit, you need to be at a certain rank to earn the kind of points needed to buy the shards - the game divides PvP points into Tokens and Mega-Tokens, and you can only earn Mega-Tokens when you’re at a high enough rank- that free players can only dream of achieving. So that means paying players who bribe their way to victory are better rewarded. If you dare to try PvP against a paying user, expect the game to be tilted heavily against you. Survival mode is just as bad- you’d better be grinding and events.before you take on survival mode because the game will tilt the board against your favor if you don’t grind.
