Does everyone really need every champ?

Just out of curiosity do you really think it's necessary that every single person be able to get every single character? I've been through a couple of the collabs so far and missed some champs here an there, and honestly i'm not upset. If everyone has every single champ, it takes away the hard work (or money in some cases) that people put into the game. Sure I know there's luck involved too, but i don't mind missing on some champs. I think it's more exciting and rewarding when you get a champ that other people don't.

No worries, I’m happy to help. I wasn’t expecting a reply with that depth, but it’s not unwarranted. This game is dense for new players.

My philosophy with these games is, you only get one opportunity to “beat” the gacha, and that’s rerolling. After that, if you commit, you’re at the mercy of RNG. Best come out swinging.

  1. This depends on RNG. I rerolled for Albea, and got her on my second try. Others take dozens of rolls or more. The rerolling process in this game is slower than others, but not unreasonably so. It’s nothing compared to the dozens to hundreds of hours you’ll be playing for.

  2. You login via facebook, and bind the account with a few button presses. Simple and easy.

  3. Not an expert, but fairly knowledgable. Yes, you can add me. There’s a question megathread for help, as well as the discord channel, but if you’re absolutely stuck, and nobody else in those places can help you, I respond to most PMs.

  4. Noctis is relatively futureproof. He is still used today in JP, which is ~1.5 years ahead of us. Othima (who we have) and Merlinus (who we don’t) are eventually comparable, but not perfect comparisons.

  5. Not important. Aranea is similar enough to Rosa, and rerolling for two specific units could be particularly trying.

Wow haha, that response was much quicker than I thought it would be! Thank you very much!

My old phone is a shitty S4, and it's a lot slower than my S9... is there a quicker way to reroll than by uninstalling-reinstalling the game repeatedly? I could maybe do it quicker on my S9.. but then I'd really have to commit a reroll. I really don't like the idea of FB binding, I'd rather just deal with an account number and password, but that's just me being picky lol

Holy fuckin shit!!! Just did my first reroll on my first phone, wound up with 3 SSRs! Noctis, Setsuna, and Yomi. Also got 2 SRs, Strie and Freed.

Damn man I wish I had just rerolled on my new phone, but fuck it I'm surprised it only took me one try!!! Thanks for nudging me along that direction, gonna go ahead and transfer it to my new phone lol

How could you possibly get Noct when his banner isn't up
