What is YOUR favorite Gacha game right now?
Afk and hsr fo sure
Punishing gray raven & WuWa and forever will be🙏
Well I've been playing azur lane almost since 2020 but right now my favorite is nikke and I'm waiting for Wuthering Waves
Genshin impact
HSR and Arknights
Guardian tales definitely a F2P friendly game can Literally MLB a character without having to pull for dupes.
As a Guardian Tale player, I agree💯
No doubt for azur lane. I've played the game for almost 5 years and it is still generous.
And i appreciate for Arknight's Developer and Nikke's developer because both of them can use their revenue well to create paid non live service game like Ex Astris and Stellar Blade
Hope the other gacha game Developers can do the same thing not just relying on addictive gacha system
Ex astris just got an update too. A huge one.
Nice propaganda. You will never convince me that there's a more generous game like cookie run kingdom.
Omg fellow cookie run kingdom enjoyer!
There's copium...
Then there's this 💀
@@1vanDrago show me the 40k crystals you get every two months
I hope to see Stix play this game honestly.
Lmao sorry!!
Hmm yess limbus is mentioned....be prepared for project moon fans to bombard you with.... praise
lmao I hope so!
RRRAAAAHHH Limbus Company mentioned, glory to Project Moon /j
Glory to Project moon.
Snowbreak! Can sweep most content for daily/weekly currency. Dupes can be FTP farmed. Energy system is not required for almost all replayable content. Seems most of the revenue is being generated through super sexy skins with standard skins being already pretty sexy.
I tried to get into it. Rerolled nine times with a 10-pull for a five star but gave up.
Limbus Company felt like it had more better rates.
Enjoyed the video! For free-to-play players, it would be helpful to know more about the impact of in-app purchases on character strength in Nikke. Transparency around monetization helps viewers decide if the game aligns with their playstyle.
you mean if you constantly need dupes on Nikkes through buying currency?
if that´s the matter, then not really, dupes add stats, and those are most for pvp,
most units can be obtained in special banner, with lower rate than main one, but with so much currency you´ll be constantly getting new and new and dupes can be bought in store too
PGR LETS GOOO
I am playing it and having a blast
in gacha games, you usually get overwhelmed as a beginner, but this feel perfectly paced and its super fun to play with! Even the pricing is reasonable (for me at least)
@Stix, have you ever reviewed Rise of Eros, genuinely curious about what you think about it as a Gacha game!
lmao I haven't yet, no!
@Stixxy give it a peek! It's definitely a unique gacha game!
Chat I need help I downloaded azure lane but every time I start it I get a black screen with rulers numbers on the side please any help be nice
Been wanting to get into a gacha game so highly appreciate this video!
Nikke, can´t wait to see more of it´s story, that´s my favorite, then Guardian Tales for the story too
Your opening jokes 😁🤣
I couldn't control myself.
@@Stixxy Nikke has that affect on the cultured
Dokkan during annis you can get an endgame capable account with max level units in like 5 days if you really really work for it. or like 2-3 weeks if you don’t and you don’t even need duped units either. Its like if you took the amount of premium games like ba and nikke give away but removed the dumb account level restriction for unit levels.
You forgot the Brown Dust 2
Heavy p2w +5 costumes beat everything else where you basically need them in higher ranks
@@CasPer-mo7uh getting all the costumes can make the game easy you dont need +5 costumes you need to collect the costume and the summer event and their half anniversary they gave a 300 pulls for everyone just to get a Limited Costumes im still f2p in the game but i can beat all the chapters.
@@henz6706 beating all chapters is not end game ? You get high pvp rank and beat all evil tower stages + high rank on dragon ? Exactly
theres 4 * char still usable in pvp like kry i dont do pvp but kry can carry u in pvp
Aether Gazer's 1st anniversary brings 100% rate up banner, with a pity of 90 pulls costing 18k shifted stars. It's more f2p because getting an off rate S rank doesn't restart the pity until you get the guaranteed one and your pulls carry-over. The signature functors are forever available in the game, so you can pull for them whenever you feel like it, they're also farmable for A ranks.
PGR
100% rate new debut character 60 pity
80% selector signature weapon 30 pity
Free selector every 6months
EZ itemization no more bullshit rng stat gacha
How about that ?
But yea can't argue about taste
@@WesaReti-dy4tx There's no denying it, it's the most f2p Gacha game out there, been playing it since 2021. I agree with you but I dropped PGR, for WuWa.
For me, it's just better to get the guaranteed S rank and off rates along the way to pity, both games are awesome!
Fr fr
Oh yes wuwa
See you there then !
@@WesaReti-dy4tx I won't argue that the debut omn banner is unbeatable, but PGR has certainly gone downhill in the F2P-friendliness department since launch. First, SS became more important for units to feel smooth when playing - still acceptable since PPC skulls exist. Then sig weapons became significantly more important in improving damage and QoL (especially now with sigs being able to equip memories), eventually followed by introduction of sig CUBs (sometimes important) and finally, the SS3 system which resulted in Daren being too weak if not SS3. Thankfully, CN must've complained to kuro as since then, other gen 2 units weren't as hamstrung without SS3 as Deren was, but you can clearly see kuro getting greedier over time and only relenting when the playerbase pushed back.
Do you have to pull for all of that? No, but enjoy having your units feeling a little wonky in one way or another without their sig. Don't hope to perform superbly in PPC and WZ either. Thankfully there's no BC locked behind leaderboards but you'll still miss out on some PPC skulls, and WZ currency for resos and Leaps. It is still undeniably a more competitive game than AG, which, if at all, only has avatar frame cosmetics locked behind leaderboards.
Regarding "no more bullshit RNG stat gacha", pretty sure the substats for memory reso are RNG just like Aether Gazer (unless you have those WZ mats which are heavily time-gated), so not sure what you mean by that.
Ignoring gameplay as it's subjective, PGR is better in some ways but also worse in other ways compared to AG. However, PGR has been getting worse while AG has been improving and here you are trying to one-up someone who praised AG. When was the last time PGR made a significant positive change that made the game more F2P-friendly? For example, did you know they made farming for 5* weapon currency worse, if not downright removed it altogether in CN co-op? Idk if global has had the same changes though.
Eversoul should definitely be on the list. Dev will give out 1000gems (2100gems for 10pulls btw) randomly time-to-time (without any reason to do so). They also gave out over 100 pulls during their 1st anniversary. Also, JP server is releasing soon on end May 2024, with new contents releasing soon. Would you be doing another review on Eversoul soon?
eversoul yes they give gems for every thing like ranker placed a new record here 100gems i just download it like after year today there is a welcome party and i pulled and got all 3 limited banner characters and 2 normal banner characters as well

@@fresiota6662 I like characters and game play as well it so nice I wish there were English dub as well only down side is there is some times too much to do like dungeon and town management and stuff but u get rewarded I mean outings are important feature I don't mind them
Dokkan battle has been absolutely phenomenal when it comes to F2P they give out 300+ stones every month and during anniversary’s they give out 1k+ stones
Personal preference another eden you could argue is f2p.
They have pretty strong free characters and most 4/5 * character can be upgraded and side graded with enough grinding for upgrade material.
It's essentially 4 other characters from 1 4*
Another Eden is such a slog... I don't consider it F2P friendly
Nah it isn't f2p u can basically go 100 pulls and get nothing there's some bosses later on who will one shot you forcing u to get the new characters to have a chance and banners they keep putting more p2w banners then normal banners anyway another eden is NOT f2p
@@claudioanimemaniac from what i know the bosses powerscaling is much slower then character powerscaling. You don't need the newest character to beat a lot of bosses.
Also since there is no pity your better of being f2p.
Also there is so much content if you run into a strong boss you can do something else before coming back to defeat the boss.
People say that HSR is generous compared to Genshin. This is only partially true. Yes you get more rewards, but Star Rail releases new characters way faster and the older ones get powercrept in an extreme way. You dont HAVE to use the new limited character to beat the story, but the give you a lot of qol.
They also change the meta A LOT. We went from Hypercarry Hunt to Hypercarry Destruction to DOT to whatever op meta Acheron is to now a Break effect meta. The new enemies always reflect, what new characters excel at.
You can play it completely f2p, but not getting the monthly pass or battlepass makes the progress feel like a slog. Especially at endgame.
It also falls into the Genshin trap of progression: For day 1 players there are 5-6 weeks between patches. Time, people can use to upgrade their team/s. New players might keep up with the lvl requirements, but after each patch you feel the higher difficulty for certain teams. There are bosses that are straight up unbeatable, if you dont have at least one decently built team at endgame lvl.
So people get tempted to pull for the shiny new characters, that lets them straight up IGNORE boss mechanics. (Fu Xuan, Aventurine, Ruan Mei, Acheron etc.)
As a new player you get tons of jades but have to plan wisely what to buy, because later jades are hard to get as a F2P, I'm only buying monthly pack and that is not enough amount for the 20 days banner rotation, this is my 1 month experience, I think as you get stronger can farm more jades from things like MoC
@@sempiterno3243 tbh you can get to moc 8 or 10 easily as f2p. If you spend money you only get the extra 60 or 120 jades. Pure fiction is honestly easy to complete. You just have to use the right buff for you team.
I would ALWAYS recommend limited 5 star Sustain. Especially Fu xuan and Aventurine atm as a new player. You can always get even decent damage with the right relics. With sustain you dont even have to think about survivability.
@@Ugotsomemilk I have Aventurine and Im thinking to get Fu Xuan for a second team, with Fu I can use the other 4 star units I have, the thing is I also want Firefly and Silver Wolf for my Acheron, seems impossible u_u
@@sempiterno3243 yep and thats how they get you. 2.0+ was horrible for f2p because skipping felt really bad
I started playing on General's banner (completely f2p) and I always pull for whoever I want or whoever makes them work. As of now I have almost everyone I planned to get (and few I didnt, like E2S1 Acheron and Aventurine). I would say I was lucky, few early 5* here and there. Since I like to build whoever and however I want, later stages of MoC were kinda nuisance to beat till recently (getting Aventurine), some bosses indeed require you to use specific characters (like meme/dino with DoT and newest weekly boss forces you to use characters with high break efficiency).
LLLLLIMBUS COMPANYYY
Guardian Tales is definitely one of if not the most F2P friendly gacha games. It's on mobile and switch. Note that the switch version is only on World 15. Meanwhile, mobile is about to start season 3 with World 19. That and different publishers with Kakao Games doing the WW mobile version and Kong Studios doing Japanese mobile and WW Switch versions.
Snowbreak, PGR, Wuwa are the Big Three for me!!!!!!!
Bro it's not snowbreak it's SNOWPEAK
Just curious, has Snowbreak really improved so much since launch? I dropped it shortly after launch as I didn't have a good PC and the mobile client wasn't well-optimized. Also wasn't too happy with how they copied Genshin's gacha system and though improved compared to genshin, the rates are still pretty bad for a non-open world game. It was fun though, I liked the idea of a gacha third person shooter.
On a related note, I saw some comments on reddit joking about how GFL2's constant angering of their playerbase with the NTR backlash contributed to Snowbreak's rise in popularity lmao. This is of course on top of Seasun trying to turn things around by going the fanservice route and succeeding.
Honkai impact 3rd is also f2p friendly, we just got another S rank Herscherr of Origin for free. Chars banner in hi3 only have 5 unit: 4A ranks and 1 S rank, so no 50/50 involve. The amount of crystal you can get alow you to get 1 new S rank/2 -3 patch, and some S rank (even new) can be farm.
I have been getting random special 3 stars in Atelier Resleriana. I got 8 already without spending a single cent. I looked at the 3 star rate of the game, and it was 4%! The highest I've seen so far in a gacha game. Imagine making 100 pulls in a paid session. Virtually 4 of them might be 3 stars.
Dokkan Battle is pretty F2P friendly as well. They have so many events that can help beginning players and they give out a lot of Dragon Stones as well
What about Snowbreak?
Absolutely agreed. Apart from the manifestations, every F2P aspect of the game can be had in a relatively short amount of time. Of course, the skins aren't F2P but the devs have to make their money somehow.
I wondering the same, why is it not on the list ?
Also, where is Genshin Impact ? you get in the game so much for free, the leveling of the characters and the gear is so easy, the cash shop is almost invisable.
Agree
@@paluxyl.8682 Most of the guys who do not recommend Snowbreak got no aim
Judging from his past videos, he doesn't play Snowbreak at all.
Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis (On PC/Steam) and I just started playing it for the throwback since the past nostalgic PSO Xbox and PSP. The Customization, console quality UI, open world, and especially its random catapult platforms is very Sonic 3Dish fun gameplay etc. 10+1 ticket gacha pulls is daily free for items and other customization items for your character.
Not a gacha game
@@CasPer-mo7uh it does have gacha for cosmetics and other powerups etc.
@@NeoSlashott pso2 is more close to a RPG you only roll for cosmetics not characters it’s literally not a gacha game just because they have a roulette mechanic
@@CasPer-mo7uh gacha mechanics is still there in all other game forms, take Alchemia Story, Toram and others as an example. Gacha means getting items you wish for in recreation arcades.
@@NeoSlashott i think your a bit dumb
BA F2P friendly? A gacha where gacha resource is obtained in PvP? (Or is it about premium currency, I can't remember)
That's a fine sauce, like good ol' rum
Hehe yup..
kind of surprised you didnt put hsr or genshin on here. do you prefer 2d over 3d? from what i remember your favorite games were 2d gachas.
Not at all! I live both Genshin and HSR! But they’re definitely not overly f2p friendly haha.
@@Stixxy Yeah you're definitely right. I've really only played these two games so I don't really know how f2p friendly other gachas are.
Epic 7 is one of th most f2p friendly gachas there are and probably one of the best pvp ones too
agree also has an insane high quality compared to most of the other games
Genshin fans will say the same thing. lmao. "one of the most F2P friendly"
Do you know if Wuthering Waves will be as friendly as PGR or worse?
It will be more greedy than PGR. Because Wuthering waves is open world and it will need more revenue to develop the game for sure.
Probably will be friendlier. As long as doesn't have Norman nor PPC nor forces you to pull for characters that you don't like just to be caught up with the game...
WuWa has Genshin 50/50 gacha, so it won't be as friendly as PGR.
The character gacha is basically genshin's but with slightly better rates and lower pity, you'd expect better from kuro (even for an open-world game) but you should probably expect gacha developers to be greedy in one way or another. It's definitely worse than PGR, but on the other hand, you don't have to compete with players in PPC or WZ. The weapon gacha is way better than genshin's though, you will always get the banner weapon at pity, no 50/50. It seems the characters and weapons are on separate banners so you can't hope to get spooked by a 4* weapon when pulling for characters, which is a double-edged sword (pun intended).
Btw I hope you liked genshin's artifact substat RNG, because it's in WuWa as well. Kuro said they'd improve the system but it's still going to be shit when it releases, just less shit than it was in the CBT. I like how they made it a less fun experience instead of minimizing the things players hated about genshin.
TLDR: it's basically genshin but more combat-oriented and a little more generous, and the devs are almost definitely better listeners than hoyo, but that's an extremely low bar to clear.
With all those massive marketing.
They definitely have to make more money than what PGR could do to keep the development and the game alive.
I RECOMMEND ALCHEMY STARS!!! It has SO MUCH QoL that has made the game more enjoyable than it was on launch, it has a LOT of end game content and is constantly coming out with fun enjoyable and difficult content. on top of that, new battle mechanics have really freshened up the tile matching mechanic and have added more depth to them with Dark Tiles. The game is in such a good spot imo and I think it's worth going back for anyone that may have dropped off with it or stopped playing. Also the new home screen looks fantastic
Epic 7 for sure. It's a game that's showing its age, so it definitely helps to check out a guide or two when starting up, but you can put together a decent roster that'll compete with established players within a month.
The fact that the shop packs are such terrible value also makes you less likely to every buy anything.😂 😂
Arknights for sure ❤
Yesss!!
for me the most f2p friendly would be Langrisser M. pretty old game and niche (trpg like fire emblem), and u dont need to pull every single banner since some starters can be upgraded into top tier units
surprised i dont see snow break, while it have mihoyo esc gacha mechanics, they give alot of tickets to pull
My friend plays Blue Archive and He said he will give a shot a Honkai Star Rail if I give a shot for Blue Archive after this videao Ill go for it I don't like starting to play so long after the premiere though.
It’s easy to catch up!
gfl is a hardcore af..i can safely say it is pure torture..the last time i play im stuck in the core hell phase..havent play it for 3 years i recalled..
LIMBUS MENTIONED
What about Aether Gazer though? Sure its not the same level as Nikke, but it is really F2P friendly.
It's in some ways better than Nikke tbh. Nikke doesn't have a hard pity so if you don't have 200 mileage saved up it can be quite painful. Also Pilgrims are kinda OP. There's also the infamous 160 wall, which can take varying amounts of time to overcome depending on your luck. Overall though, I'd say Nikke is probably still a little better if you save your mileage for Pilgrim banners.
AG will get more generous soon with the introduction of the new 90 hard pity debut modifier banner, no 50/50 for this banner. We also get one S rank selector and one meta unit per year - for year 1 we got Jinwu and are likely going to get an S rank selector for global's 1st anniversary. The devs actually got more generous this year in CN too as they're not just giving S Verthandi for free, but her sig as well.
I can't think of any other f2p friendly gachas, I know Epic Seven can have a f2p start, but is just a grind afterwards. Almost forgot about AFK Arena and Journey, they're pretty f2p friendly, at least for new players. Not sure about long term players
BrownDust2 my friend. You can collect *hundreds of pulls* in very short amount of time and one of the best gacha system
How is that a good gacha system lol costumes who require to be +5 to gain full potential and character who need multiple costumes to be viable like rou
Rou needs red hood stray cat and the standard costume to be viable in high rank pvp that makes one character +15 dupes already
@@CasPer-mo7uh ? PvP has nothing to do with the gacha system. In pve don't need to +5 everything for most cases, you only care for better gear. Only Fiend hunter bosses require a lot of investment if you care to rank higher.
@@Cuisi_ don’t comment if your not playing end game yet and enjoy your pve story
@@CasPer-mo7uh You are missing the point, the game is generous with currency and pulls, can get characters from the pub, or once the banner is gone is available in the powder of hope if is not limited.

@@cocobos Well I think I will be fine with that since I have other gachas to play xD
@@sempiterno3243 yeah, actually spent a lot of time playing Arise these past 2 days, prove the game is quite good too
Playing HSR on 2 completely F2P accounts, my luck is pretty good on both, I cannot complain and I 100% enjoy the game more this way than if I was donating.
Arknights is amazingly F2P-friendly as well, it doesn’t even have season passes, you can even buy cosmetics with in-game currency there; not to mention you can pass the game with 3-star free operators.
I remember the times when I was donating in every single game I played and I kept feeling so bad and so guilty that I was spending my money for things that cannot make me healthier and safer and more accomplished in my real life.
Have you considered quitting those games that make you want to spend? Also arknights is technically F2P friendly unless you're trying to get a limited unit you want. That sucks. Their regular banner is alright, but they really ought to improve their limited banner gacha system.
@@WadeWontson I quit spending bc I simply cannot afford it anymore. The political and economical situation in my country has changed drastically since then. I am simply jobless atm; but even when I get a job again, I decided not to spend in games anymore; and yes, it’s better to avoid those games that are boring without spending completely.
I agree that the limited banner can play an evil joke on you sometimes; but imo it is compensated with the fact that you don’t need any specific unit in the game to pass a stage ever. All 6-stars always have their 3-4 star weaker versions, that are easier to obtain.
@@Kyokka It's certainly true that you don't need all 6*. It just really sucks if you don't get that limited unit you wanted as iirc reruns take very long and the chances of getting old limited 6* on future limited banners are quite slim.
That aside, I'm sorry to hear about your situation, I hope you get back on your feet soon and that things change for the better in your country. All the best dude
@@WadeWontson Thank you!

shout outs to brown dust 2 boisss collab and 1 year anniversary hypee
I come here for the dancing.
Yesssss
Reverse 1999 is very F2P-friendly imo. 1. No PvP 2. Can clear most content even with free characters given. 3. Lots of rewards(clear-able content)/ major patch e.g Gems/Unilogs/Free Psychubes etc
also no guilds, local or server chat it gets to be a very lonely experience
and then there's arknight which has the same issues. you can only add friends and currently in CN server there is a momentary coop event, yet it still much more fun to play then gacha games with global chat,guild etc
Star Rail gives 10 tickets every patch.
Still fresh in my mind after getting Gepard at 70+ pulls, before the banner end I managed to pull Jingliu last month at also 70+ pulls. It's not blatantly giving stuffs like other games, but you just somehow got enough pulls to guarantee. (Day 1 player btw so you can't argue me being new player luck or whatever)
I started the game 1 week later and will say characters are great but the story also been PEAK so far in all the main story specifically with penocony and so far I been able to balance to get characters I want and then there own light cones but yeah I been having fun in hsr so far I have no complaints
@@claudioanimemaniac If you watch the video, Stix seems not playing them mostly heard of what other people said, with the exception like Arknights, Nikke, Blue Archive, Azure Lane. And I can safely said Star Rail also f2p friendly since I plays it regularly. Because if you want to truly explain, you need to know the in and out.
@@nurusds3agreed much agreed 👍
i feel it isnt f2p at all, giving many pull isnt mean it f2p v:
@@camtoantran8128 I tried Blue Archive and Nikke, both gives a ton more than Star Rail, but to me it doesn't feel f2p. For Nikke you need dupes to ascent, while for Blue Archive I pulled 200 and still not getting the rate up character that I had the need to use the points accumulated to redeem that summer character. I hadn't comeback to both game since.
In conclusion, for me both the amount of pull and the pity system I should say is the factors I considered Star Rail f2p. I don't have to either pull for dupes or reaching 190 pulls.
That said, what's YOUR criteria to be considered f2p? Surely you have one or two criteria.
PROJECT MOON MENTIONED RAHHHHHHHH
Yesss!
I really like Neural Cloud at first but this game really was something. One "so called stage" was in fact 20 Stages in one and this times 14 or more. It was just too much.
Arknights: Hard pity is indeed at 99 pulls, but you will almost never get there.
You have 2% base chance to get a 6* character. Which is increased by 2% every pull after 50 until it reaches 100% at 99 pull. But realisticatlly, you have to be uber-unlucky to ever get there. When you are pulling with 30% 50%, 70% chance you will have to be a wizard not to pull something in the remaining 20 pulls. :D This pity transfers between all non-limited banners, so you will get 6* regularly just by playing.
Realistically, 2% base is already so generous that you rarely get to even 50 pulls (where the soft pity kicks in).
CORRECTION: "Every banner guarantees 5* or 6* on your first pull". Not true - within the first 10 pulls. The optimal strategy is to pull every banner until 5-6 star and then save everything else for limited characters only. Because of how generous this system is - you will get all non-limited heroes within a year maximum.
The also release special events at lest twice a year where you get 20 free pulls, and you get premium currency rather fast.
And yet a certain former arknight cc who now created content for HSR made an idiot excuse of quitting arknight because of how bad the arknight gacha system is
@@arumi9410 I mean I can't care less about content creators. I am sharing my experience.
Over 3 years I probably spent $300 on Arknights, which is a good value for a game worth tens of thousands of hours.
But I played HSR on release and quickly found that if I want to get every limited character at least 1 copy I would be spending $50-$150 every 2-3 weeks because of how stingy Hoyoverse is. And that is without getting into copies/artifacts. In arknights, 1 copy of a character is 10-20% weaker than full-potency hero. The difference is negligible. But in HSR or Genshin you are looking at 70-80% weaker. So it actually isn't even worth getting sometimes. This is insane greed.
None of you did not play Limbus Company
boring
@@miguelorozco4445 yea that true
Why is Reverse 1999 not here? I feel like it's pretty f2p unless I'm missing some kind of predatory tactics they've been using 💀
Should've included HSR?
HSR also very f2p friendly
not at all v: the game does give you more free pull, but it doesnt mean f2p friendly
I dont know how to feel about nikke on the list since just to get to later parts of the story and get more power you need to get 4 copies of 5 characters which also means sr's dont work. And as f2p dont even think about pvp as even with 4 copies, to max them out its a total of what...14 copies? Its cause of that that the game gets so much money from whales lol.
I've cleared up 'til chapter 24 so far, making my way into chapter 25 and have had an issue with only 1 fight - the whale boss. Otherwise, I'm powering through it without issue, I've core2/core4 my entire main roster of characters, only spending money to guarantee I get the new Waifu's as they release. But I could've achieved a lot without spending money as well. Like I said though, NIKKE's "Free to play friendliness is not for the same reasons as the other games listed."
f2p's don't even think about pvp at all leave it to the super whales to duke it out there 😂 but normal ch 29-30 is easily clearable even with huge cp deficit with the new OP defender Pilgrim Crown, the good ol Liter, your 2 strongest dps and healer Naga/Rapu. the new campaign lineup performs very well. pretty much just playing the devs shower you will so much rewards.
@@skyMcWeeds im still in chapter 23 with like 160k power
been there as well thinking I'd never be able to clear higher stages. but with lots of patience, idling, grinding events, pushing campaign and hoarding core dusts managed to keep pushing through story chapter with huge cp deficits. fiddling around with units to take advantage of rapture weaknesses especially those annoying shielded and electric code weak raptures at later stages
You forgot Reverse 1999.
DAMNIT! I had that in my list, too!
For a newer player in reverse 1999, any tips on how to get more premium currency for pulls?
@@nehalchakraborty9546 Probably just the usual dailies, weeklies, main story, and events.
@@Fxrrxt2x makes sense. Thank you!
i am really tempted to say that no he didn’t forget reverse 1999
7ds is one of the most free2play frendly I've ever seen, its so much free summons.
It used to be but netmarble slashed the drop rates and continually increased the gap between ftp and whale players, It famously drove a lot of whales off as the game outpriced even them.
You don’t play the game long i think
I also consider Aether Gazer a F2P friendly game.
Hard pity used to be 300 pulls in Arknights 💀
Arknights is a f2p friendly gacha...... if you are a disciplined person. If you don't, this game can drain your money much quicker than any other
Most F2P friendly I’ve play is Fortress Saga. Period!
where is brown dust? you left out the most generous one?
Because its not even close to generous, giving ppl pulls some pulls when u need 200 pulls for 1 copy and +0 is useless af, this is not what u call generous
@@redlotus1353 wow it's like all of the game he mentioned above doesn't have dupe mechanism as well.
I can tackle pve just fine with +0 char.
I tried rerolling for the last wedding skin but I didn't get it sadly. If I ever play I'll prob have to buy an account
@@redlotus1353 The 200 hard pity is the only "bad" aspect of BD2. The rest is super generous; they constantly give pulls and gems every event. Cash back: each time you pull the character from the current banner you get 10 pulls for free. You can save a lot of currency in very short amount of time.
@@exanoid1end game content and high rank pvp requires +5 certain character like rou are fine on +3 already but it’s definitely far far away from f2p friendly
Browndust 2 is the most generous gacha out there
How?
@@bumbayker they give a lot of gems and goodies to you just for existing in a few days span like for example i had like 140 pulls like 2 weeks ago now im sitting on 290 without even doing anything they just give it to you xD
@@jasonlobo2350 That doesn't sound as generous as Azur Lane. Azur Lane also gives a fair amount of gems but you don't need them to pull for gacha because you don't use premium currency for it. All the resources for gacha are easily attainable by logging in and playing. The main use for gems in Azur Lane is to buy skins, improve your dorm, and expand your dock. Other than that you can play the completely F2P. I've been playing for over 5 years and I've only spend at most $100 because I felt the devs deserve my money.
@@jasonlobo2350pity 200pulls rates are trash characters pretty much need to be +5 for end game talk about f2p friendly lol
@@CasPer-mo7uh i have every single character while f2p lol. You dont need 5* to endgame the fck? The game washes you over with pulls that you dont even need the pity to get unit. Besides the rates are 3% actually fcking high for a gacha game
Idk what it is about PGR, but I just can't get hooked. And that's with me agreeing that the action combat being the best in the genre, and with the game being very generous. Like, I got my Crimson Weave and her team fully kitted out and have a blast with her, it's just that, idk. I think it may be because of the game's content feeling same-y, and the low production quality of the story.
Can't blame if you didn't play it but SW should be the top of the list. 10 years going strong, most f2p friendly gatcha game you can find.
SW.. Summoners War?
ain’t no topping those azur lane skins mate trust me
Azur Lane will forever hold the crown of the most f2p gacha game ever. The only reason I see spending money on the game is Dock slots especially if youre collecting shipgirls. Thats pretty much it otherwise spending money is unnecessary. I havent spent money on the dorms or anything regarding that stuff. But I have dumped a few hundred dollars on skins which I do not regret.
Azur Lane is beyond brilliant. It truly is incredibly player friendly. I've played since about a year after it was first released and it's the only mobile game that i have stuck with.
Project Moon sleeper agents activate.
BD2 not mentioned? Are these all your sponsors? Lol
Seven Knights 2?
Never played it!
It really addictive to play for a gacha game from netmarable , but that just mine opinion anyway 🤷
I’d have to say Epic 7 is definitely in the top 5 for f2p friendly gacha games. Not only do new and returning players get near end game pve gear to help you with story but you can get selectors for 2 ml5s which would normally take a long time for a person to save enough for pity. Usually every update has some qol that gives those players more free stuff to progress. Content creators for the game have also been able to reach high levels in pvp on accounts only 15 days old. Not to mention they do give a ton of free summons during events and anniversaries for each server
Is path to nowhere f2p? Like i started only for the story and i kinda like it.
I actually disagree with Nikka being free to play friendly unless you reroll. The Pilgrim Tower is a giant random gatekeep, You can get hard walled in PVP, the extreme random nature of equipment and house stingy it is through special interception makes it to where not having great units will put you months behind content. Also the $60 buy-in skin gotcha is the most horrid feature I have ever seen in a game.
I'm not calling the game bad I'm still playing actively and I'm completely free to play. But I do feel people are so scared of criticizing the game is why it still has some of these horrible mechanics. It's a great game that idle game progression works against all the other features of the game.
You left out Eversoul. Great game with a lot of “ Plot”. A LOT!!
Nikke friendly gacha ?? u forgot the fact spend money for clear main story ?
I'm at Chapter 25 and haven't had to spend anything if I didn't want to.
AZUR LANE players enlighten me how to manage dock space as f2p😢
You missed Atelier Resleriana
He didn't, atelier is utterly failed as a game even with paying boters for 5* rates it has 3.7 i played it myself and only some korn game has worse monetization
Agreed Azur Lane still no.1 for F2P friendliness and hope Azur Promilia will be more of the same
I hope so too!
Broooo EPIC 7 BEST GACHA
How come Star Rail ain't even in this list smh
Azur Lane f2p for the longest time until I saw that NJ & Yorktown 2 swimsuit then Bocchi Bunny suit I had to open up my wallet 😂
Aether Gazer
azur lane my beloved
I realized when it comes to Azur Lane usually you dont show most cultured things 😅
Maybe is it cause of youtube rules or i just saw these videos till now idk but as just charecter you can show UR and new Super rare charecters i think they look cooler and better
Haha I will be in my new Azur Lane video!
@@Stixxy perfect that's what i was saying
Some how I feel free to play and gacha don't go together real well😂
Brown dust 2
Azur Lane is the only gacha that I'd recommend to F2P.
Everything else is focused on enticing you to GAMBLE.
Other games are like you got a copy of your waifu with your free currency? If you want to truly unlock her though... PAY UP.
Bcm is the most F2p friendly
My f2p gacha games gray raven and Dislyte(Dislyte community is vile though)
Reverse 1999???
I wanna Nikke but…
Eversoul is almost as generous as Azur Lane; much less repetitive and just an all-around great game with charming waifus. The mercy is at 30!
That's absolutely false. Most "F2P friendly" means it's playable for F2P.
Azur Lane literally allow 100% character collection. Max out every character's constellation/limit-break/growth.
I'm surprised I didn't see anyone mentioning afk journey here. My guild is in the top 10 and majority of us are f2p.
Brown dust 2 is the most f2p of the galaxy, I have all in bd2 playing 15 minutes for day.
copium
AZUR LANE
You forgot hsr 😢
