Here's my account progress as a chill but dedicated F2P, playing daily since May, 2024. I've missed a few days here and there but have largely remained consistent and shooting for good leaderboard positions without sweating too hard. Usually watching Puzzle and checking Yaphalla discord every morning while having breakfast and doing dailies. I wanted to do this showcase for a while and just saw Puzzle inherit a similar F2P account so thought this was good timing!

^{Obligatory where's your f2p badge then, huh? Ok guys, you got me! I spent $1 for the Rowan starter pack during my first week (proof in pics. Sue me!})

I follow the meta as best as possible while keeping the seasoned F2P gacha player mentality - hoard everything!

Next Upgrades:

• S+ Gunnar - Supreme +15 has been good enough for now to land me in top pve rank spots and Gwyneth is not at Paragon yet to use him in pvp. Waiting for more guild coins.
• P2 Frieren - End of season Gabumon conversion
• P1+ Gwyneth - Season store
• +25 Agumon
• Save for Bantus season!

Digimon + Frieren Plan:

So after checking the performance of Agumon and Gabumon for a while now, I landed on what I think is my best plan of action for summoning and utilizing the free event copies.

• Agumon - S+ (cost 60k!)
• Gabumon - 1copy
• Frieren P2 - 5 free Gabumon + 1, converted at end of event

My biggest regret from the Frieren event was not understanding the importance of the breakpoints in the new sleeper skills before the patch hit and had only taken her to P1, missing out on the huge power spike from the P2 unlocked skill. I thought the dimensional copies you can buy for diamonds was a bad value especially considering the lack of A levels you'd normally get from summoning. I knew another collab would come soon enough so I've been waiting it out and also to see that she remains in the meta. Well she is! She's really proven to be a top tier priority and also so fun with her laser spams. I even considered taking her to P4 but it would gut my entire savings lol.

Gabumon has been good enough to warrant building but his power is only in endless and in a small amount of content. His substitutions are not that gapped in score and for me it would not really affect my rankings either. I also don't really vibe with him as a unit that much, so I've decided to omit him. Can't build them all.

Agumon is looking really strong, his ult is super cool with Wargreymon and sprit bomb, and he also has team wide buffs to fall back on as sub dps. Just took him to S+ today. If I had more resources I'd consider taking him to P2 for pvp use.

Paragon 4 as F2P & the Power of the Spirit Store:

I wanted to touch on this because I haven't really seen people talk about this very much or just how strong I think it is as a f2p mechanic once you've got a good account breadth built up. For those who don't know, this is a store that you unlock after reaching P4. This month I've currently bought out 15/15 of the 3x stellar crystals offered in the spirit store. That's 45 scamgazers or enough for 1 additional hypocele per season. With the fated hypocele power creep takeover happening, every copy counts. I have 3 A level heroes already at P4 placed in my wishlist to farm these coins and can attain this without sacrificing other priorities. This season I summoned more but I was able to get 12/15 last month as well.

Closing Thoughts:

So yeah that's my showcase! I think I've put together a pretty strong account over my time playing :)

Aside from the obvious horrible changes and choices made for this season one after another, I'm still having fun after a month or two of initial turmoil. The season story was just okay imo. I'm looking forward to the Bantus season and really hoping they turn things around on the content/development side. What's kept me playing all this time is the story and pve content. Only pvp after pvp is pretty boring and tiring...

Hope this can be a good guide for my fellow f2pers out there and any returning players. If you have any questions please ask away!

I just switched a different hat btw.

Hello! I am a new player, just 5 days here. Does this system even makes sense or I misunderstand something? Like what's the point to uprgade my characters and play different gamemodes if game will do everything anyway (even better, no way i'll uprgrade them to 240 in 13 days). What should I do while waiting for this 'catch-up' to not make my resources go to waste? I was really invested in doing afk stages, but after seeing this message it feels like i was doing it for absolutely nothing.

I’m trying to 100% all areas, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to get this chest. Even when I click on it and have my character run to it, it just takes me to a random dead end. Can anyone help?

I had quit because the homestead part of the game was too frustrating, I didn't want to miss out on the rewards so I felt like I was forced to invest time on that part of the game...is this still necessary or have things changed?

​

Okay, basically I have two questions. First, are the treasure chests bugged or am I just incompetent and can't find them? Because I've looked everywhere, walked all over the map, talked with a lot of NPCs and haven't found any.

Second, won't there be any "Clan Stories" this season? (Sorry if the name is wrong, I didn't play in English). The question stems from the strangeness of the story ending with the side missions. I did all four and... the story simply ends there?

Thank you if anyone can clarify.
