I finally could do the Lightning Tyrant and I don't even have their TM, now I don't regret getting Xuan lol
Wait, what? You didn't even have their TM yet? That's a considerable amount of firepower that you don't have unlocked yet, and you still won? Super impressive. They should make all the back trials (except for Moon) a complete joke.
Almost have enough scrounged up for the 9th multi-pull, but ticket off-banner rainbows keep haunting me.

Took some time to figure the fight, but got it done and now I have Christine over 3k mag and waiting for IW to come some day.
Sweet. 3k stat units are satisfying milestone to reach.
I also almost neeeeeeeeever go for limited units. I feel like limited units are the biggest trap in almost every gacha game. I'm sure they've studied the psychology of them to death and determined it's the best way to get people to spend. I still remember that time Claic's donators floated him a few hundred USD so he could keep pulling for a fucking Sora STMR, of all things, to the point where he started sobbing on stream when he finally got him. It was kind of moving to see his chat supporting him, and the guy deserves it, but at the end of the day it's just enabling a shitty addiction
I'll never forget this thread on Reddit:
Claic Fails to Pull Fayt in 81 Multipulls
Last night I had a sobering realization.
Global didn't escape JP's Summonfest system after all. It's just playing out differently on GL, via a slight of hand. Look at the recent major powercreep units: Karten, Levinson, and now XWQL. All of them are were on limited seasonal banners, where UoCs can't be used. Bravo, Gumi. They played us all like a fiddle. They lured us into a sense of safety and security, where many more units became UoC'able in GL than on JP, and at a 20% ticket cost discount for the prism for good measure.
Even with the "5%" Rainbow rates, the on-banner rate is generally just as bad as it has always been; an illusion with this change. While the higher rainbow rate is nice for completing STMRs, it does nothing for actually pulling featured units the vast majority of the time. In the end, the Summonfest general rule of having 50k lapis on-hand to seriously chase meta 7* units is manifesting itself on all of these seasonal banners.
Expect in the future all meta units to come out of seasonal "limited" banners. The UoC system in GL serves as a nice backstop to get some solid units for players not to fall too far behind the meta. But, I'd expect the power gap between seasonal and non-seasonal banners to continue to get wider and wider over time.
Well played, Gumi. Again.
