Spending "Guide"
Advice on how to decide which paid packs to buy.
Should you be a Spender to play this game?
NO, spending is by no means necessary and I think this game is extremely Free-to-Play friendly.
If you are smart about your resources, you can enjoy the game and get to the highest floors of Adventure for free.
Spending ONLY gets you there more quickly and comfortably!
If you wish to compete in PvP then you will have to spend, especially if you are aiming for the top spots, because that requires you to always have the latest units maxed and a lot of investment in all of them to build up your archive.
The rewards you obtain from PvP do NOT justify the cost from my point of view.
The same thing applies to Bossing, if you spend you will have higher scores compared to F2P players, but it is NOT worth it for the rewards you get.
Note: This is a Gacha game, it will try to make you spend, but you should resist, especially if you are NOT in a good financial situation. If you know you cannot resist spending and you cannot afford to, I would urge you NOT to play ANY Gacha games at all!!
Use the Web Shop
If you are set on being a Spender, you should use the Web Shop.
This is because of a few reasons:
10% "Cashback" on what you spend. In the form of points
Discount Coupons
Web Shop Only Deals
The currency of the Web Shop is based on the country you created the account in, so using a VPN would allow you to have a currency different from your own and potentially lower prices.
Determine a Pack's Value
The first thing I do when I look at a pack is to convert what the pack gives in the Suspendium equivalent. For some items we do NOT have a clear Suspendium cost, so below are some estimates I use in those cases.| Item | Suspendium Value |
|---|---|
| Random SSR Unit | 0 |
| Specific SSR Unit | 5000 |
| Random SSR+ Unit | 0 |
| Specific SSR+ Unit | 25000 |
| Random XSR+ Unit | 0 |
| Specific XSR+ Unit | 30000 |
| Specific EX Unit | 45000 |
| Nonstop SSR Ticket | 250 |
| Nonstop SSR+ Ticket | 400 |
| 24h Link EXP | 320 |
| 24h Shinsu | 0 |
| 24h Coins | 0 |
| 100 Green Revolution Fragments | 25 |
| 100 Orange Revolution Fragments | 50 |
| 100 Purple Revolution Fragments | 200 |
| Tri-Essence Crystals | 0 |
| Exclusive Equipment Extracts | 0 |
| Uncommon Shinsu Whetstone | 20 |
| Rare Shinsu Whetstone | 200 |
| Master Key | 10 |
| Ignition Weapon Set | 2000 |
| Epic Floating Ship Schematic | 300 |
| Legendary Floating Ship Schematic | 3000 |
| Random Floating Ship Schematic | 300 |
Note: As a general rule of thumb, avoid packs that:
- Have NO Purchase limits
- Offer materials you will have an abundance of in the future
- Are in the Daily/Weekly/Monthly Shop
