I am guessing he means some non event 5* have higher HP/ATK/DEF thresholds than their event counterparts.
Event Characters are weaker than the Gacha Golds, to make them still valuable. Event Characters have only the advantage of a maxed skill and all slots, something that cna be achievend in the long run for gacha characters. They made that change after implementing the first 3 Event Characters, being Lavender, Edelweiss and Mt. Lily.
ahhh so that explains why even star Lilly feels weak vs those 3
Have to agree with Lechen being stronger then a fair wack of the gatcha girls.
But then the girls have never been balanced to be honest.
Toad Lilly is basically a 6* without the full atk, her defensive stats are actually higher then most 6*s right now.
As for getting flower gems... for FTP peeps they do come fairly often, about enough to do a 50 pull every 4-5 weeks.
That in itself is not terrible considering the price if you buy them.
All event girls are worse than non event 5* girls. Even Edeweiss has a flaw: her skill activation is 23% at lvl 5. This is inferior to many 5* girls at lvl 1.
In fact all girls with good stats (Edeweis, Lachenaltia and Lavender) have bad skill activation (23%), while the girls with lower stats has 30% activation.
When a non event girl has lower stats than a event girl, look at the skill activation and buffs to see where she overcomes them.
I have to say, you shouldnt quit the game because "Its difficult to have flower gems". Im f2p myself and i find this game really playable even with the difficulties of obtaining flower gems. I havent played this game too long time yet and yestarday i happened to gather 50 Gems. Once gettin to 50 u can already fill ur whole unit with high rare girls. And i have to remind that whole game is full of special events, and as by doing them u can exchange items for tier 5 girls by easy just an quick guide how to gain full tier 5 unit for f2p <3
(ps. im not havin full t5 due played just a month or a bit longer. But working hard for it)
Yeh it's not generous with the gems, but not TOO tight with them either
A 50 pull you work towards, and it means something - I just wish the odds on getting something good were better then 6.5% per pull, gold should be more like 10% IMHO
