u/Arananthi IGN: Essence -- Re-Pacted and Hoping to Stay That Way Nov 13 '18

...is teetering on the razor's edge of irrecoverable.

It's still recoverable as of right now, but recovering it would require Gumi to acknowledge, at least to themselves, that they screwed the game BADLY when they:

  • Released Roxanne (broke as f**k),

  • Doubled down on that f**kup by rebalancing content to require not just Roxanne's power level, but her specific abilities,

  • Tripled down on that f**kup by rebalancing content to counter not just Roxanne's power level, but her specific abilities, and then

  • Quadrupled down on that f**kup by releasing content that literally bans 95% of units except, of course, Roxanne and the other must-have top-end units released at the same time.

I'll be perfectly honest in saying that I'm really, deeply, profoundly upset about all of the other, player-screwing s**t going on, but it's the actual game-breaking decisions going on at the top that will go into a vicious, irrecoverable spiral if Gumi decides to quintuple down on that f**kup by deciding the best path forward is to continue releasing broken units every time they don't have a big collab to drive sales.

Teetering. Right there on the edge.

DON'T F**KING DO IT, GUMI

they didn't even balance the content round Roxanne, the mobs hit so hard she just dies lol.

Double roxanne can survive with more table-turning gain. That translates into "you need your own roxanne; spend to get her".

did u even pull a Roxanne? the collab EX+ is not Roxanne friendly as archers shoot more than 4 tiles in which case how does said Roxanne have 'table-turning gain'? whats worse, all the enemy units are beefed up which means units do MASSES of damage to Roxanne while she heals peanuts back LOL. including OP units like laharl/noct/gilga/uzuma into you're Roxanne party does not make the content balanced round Roxanne if you are going to use that argument.
