I'm a fellow Viper simp and it's been a year without her. I share your pain. I had to skip her banner after going all in for mlb Modernia at New Year's. It's fine. Wishlist will get me her eventually right? Wrong D: Now I always pull when they're on rate up even if they get added to the standard pool. When "eventually" can be more than a year down the road I can't take it.
Also day 1 f2p player here.. managed to get all Nikkes except Viper (skipped her banner)... the game really needs a lock on banner, wishlist helps but its still a 1/15 chance....on a banner that has 4% to even let you get SSR. Its gonna be near impossible to get her. EDIT: Also surprised you are day 1 player and still believe in the whole lvl 160 wall, at lvl 160 you can unlock special interception which lets you get farm for end game gear, a wall implies that you cant progress at all. idk why Nikke players love talking about this "Wall" must be american players or something.
Eyy fellow early player! Agreed, hopefully they do more rate up banners for specific characters (kinda like what they did with Alice a while back). About the 160 wall, I guess I just got used to referring to it as that since it was pretty prominent back then 😅 Good thing they made it more accessible now compared to the early days!
It was very much a "Wall" for most people. They've come out with several updates to mitigate the issue over the last year but it's still not great. When real meaningful progression is locked behind Gacha RNG I think it's fair to call that a "Wall." The endgame gear grind is almost as bad. I recall struggling just to clear Stage 7 in SI for even the tiniest chance at a random piece of manufacturer gear and odds are the drop is for a class/manufacturer I don't need. Being stalled out that hard is more than a little frustrating especially when it can last months and the only solution is "get lucky 4head."
@@dearikj90 Again, that is not really a wall, since you can still try and farm for end game gear. Even if there was no character level cap based on dupes... you know the amount you need to pay for upgrades gets exponentially higher, capping at 10K core dust PER LEVEL after lvl 200, so even if the cap was not there, you wont be levelling fast anytime soon, but you can always try and farm for the end game gear. The reason the game is designed like that and why end game gear farm is RNG based, is because this is not a single player game. This is a gacha game, meant to try and get whales to spend (there is packs that let them skip the RNG), this is the reality, f2p players are literally irrelevant. There is a reason they make story mode missions have such high CP requirements and they lower then 6 months later, they made it so only whales can progress before f2p.
So I started basically at the end of the Christmas event last year. I feel like I'm doing something wrong haha. My synchro level is only 237 and I only started like 50ish days after you lol.

"My favorite Nikke so far is Helm."
Based opinion. Her summer version is the one non-meta unit I MLB just for her lobby animation.
Eyy fellow Helm enjoyer 🙏 Would've loved to get her summer version to MLB too but I didn't get lucky when I was rolling for her 😅

Yeaah I feel you there, ultimately we're still under the mercy of RNG ;-; Golden tickets really are the saving grace

The 160 wall (160壁) is a prominent thing to tell newbies about within JP and korean players too. Not an american thing lmao.

Hmm not sure why there's a big difference, I've just been logging in everyday, doing dailies and events (if any) myself 🤔
I think many people in this game came for 5 minutes to look at the shaking asses, but stayed because of the great story, I'm one of them XD
They got us with the effective bait haha
Agreed. I came for the "plot." I stayed for the Plot.
i came for the sexual content but left cause the game sucked lol
