I think it's more likely that the system favors putting people with 6*s on helper lists, so that players see that everyone else has a 6*, so they get more tempted to get one themselves.

Possibly, but also think anyone who pulls a 6* (bought or rolled) is going to put it in helper squad automatically. That said, to get a full team, you need:
1) Ungodly luck
2) Ungodly spending
3) Invest in Guaranteed 6* deals 5+ times (like me)
4) Some combination of the above

Of the 10 rainbows I have (not counting Sakura dupes), only two of them are from rolling FGs. And I've rolled a lot (though not several hundred dollars' worth in a week like some people).

You really do need some crazy luck if you don't invest in the guaranteed deals.

You don't need 6stars to do any of the content in the game right now, they're mostly just for looks. 5star teams can complete everything and after playing for a few months I have enough fivestars to fill every team (but still need to level half of them, rip).

I got my only 6star by cashing on the black friday deal. If you want 6-stars any other way you'll have to, on average, drop 900 flower gems per 6star on 10+1 pulls. While I'm certain people have done that, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it to happen.

....got 4 in lucky rolls...yep more I look at it I'm that darn lucky...

Got one on Black Friday - will almost certainly get Mia in this pull...yeh I'm gonna have a squad +1 wow, it's that or Alp for speed team

Alps the better pick stat and ability

Anyone know what Mei gets when/if we get bloomed

It's listed in the other thread (edited), but Mei gets affection based up to 1.2x battle skill rate for the squad when bloomed, along with a slight increase in squad attack (from 15% to 18%) and a boost to critical rate - this is what's listed on the Wikia.

Cheers Kringly - yeh looking at it - it has to be Alpinia, she fits at ever level better into how my teams run

No ... the Black Friday deal was where 90% of F2P players thought that $5 was a really good deal for a 6★ and this included myself. I would never consider spending $30 for a browser game (unless it's a really good one, but let's face it, none of DMM games are considered in that league), but $5 was an easy sell for me, and I thought of it mostly as helping Nutaku defer server costs.

Thru luck or $

The only rainbow unit that I got from pure flower gems was Flowering Peach. Sakura and Kerria I bought - can't remember how much Sakura was (hoping it wasn't 50 bucks) but Kerria was $10 for the Black Fri deal which was the best deal

The first day playing the game, I got the 6* girl from the first pull yolo and guess what, she's the one appear in the ad on nhentai that had lured me playing this game. I think I wouldn't playing a web game for so long if that didn't happen

Without whaling, the next best thing is multiple accounts. Whether you make new accounts over and over again until you roll one and then keep the account or make a couple of new accounts and stick with them, it pushes the odds more in your favor. I've been playing on my (now lvl 133) main account since day one and it still has zero 6*s. My two alt accounts (lvls 104, 105) have four and three 6*s, respectively. It's almost perverse at this point and I never expect to see a 6* make it to my main account.
