its the incredibly expensive kind of step up gacha they like to reuse often with the low rates for rainbows.

This is not something I would touch with a 10 ft pole.

AKA another whale/newbie sale.

Thank god for this though, now I can spend on Aigis this week with no regrets.

(also wtf I didn't even get a notification that the game was back up)

I was waiting for you Eab1990 to make a thread about this... this gacha is really really GREAT but really really expensive!
$120! OMG!

Anyway I want to read forum friends ideas first ... to decide if I will buy this step up gacha ...

Been debating it a little. I'm probably gonna do it. Will post later if I do.

they did something similiar in the past where it was 50/50 for gold and rainbow, doing a much smaller rate this time is really demeaning

Iz bout time to teach em humiez da powah of... da.... WAAAAGH !!!

Huh? There's never been a 50/50 sale. They've been 90/10 in the past.

19. New Year's Step-Up (12/30/16 - 1/6/17): Three 11-roll steps, step 1 ($100): regular rates, step 2 ($50): 5* and 6* only (95%/5%), step 3 ($30): 5* and 6* only (90%/10%)
29. Spring Break Cleaning Gacha (3/2 - 3/9): Three 11-roll steps, $70/$50/$30, first step contains 4*-6* (82%/16.5%/1.5%), step 2 contains 5*-6* (95%/5%), step 3 contains 5*-6* (90%/10%)

so, in general consensus, not worth it?

Worth if you're new/small collection.
Maybe not very worth if you have more than half the non event golds and a handful of rainbows.
Not at all worth if you have more than half the rainbows.

All considering you're not instantly turned away by the price.
